0:00:02 > 0:00:05I'm just down the road from Gatwick Airport at the Ardingly Antiques Fair.

0:00:05 > 0:00:10So, hang on to your hats, all aboard, cos let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:38 > 0:00:42At this fair, our teams are never stuck for choice,

0:00:42 > 0:00:44but they gonna have to put their running shoes on

0:00:44 > 0:00:48if they gonna cover all the ground.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Plenty to look forward to on today's programme...

0:00:52 > 0:00:54including lots of laughs...

0:00:54 > 0:00:55Always good.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57A last-minute scramble...

0:01:01 > 0:01:03..and possibly some bad decisions.

0:01:08 > 0:01:13Today, we have medical students Joseph and Alex

0:01:13 > 0:01:18for the Reds, welcome, and partners Melissa and Samuel for the Blues.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Welcome to Bargain Hunt. - Thank you very much.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23What do you hope to do when qualified?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I hope to be a doctor in the RAF, that's the route I'm going down.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30I'm with the University of London Air Squadron, learning to fly.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31- That's very nice, isn't it? - It's fun.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34- You don't have to fly to be a doctor in the army?- No.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- But it is nice to do anyway.- Yeah, and somebody else is paying for it.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Exactly. Shh.- Super.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Do you enjoy shopping for antiques?

0:01:42 > 0:01:44I do a bit with my grandma.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48I bought a top hat from the early 1900s which was very nice,

0:01:48 > 0:01:51mainly to go with a set of tails that my dad got.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52And also I have a few canes.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56It started from my great-great-grandpa on my grandma's side.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00He gave me - not personally - I got a cane from him with an ivory handle

0:02:00 > 0:02:04and a gold band on that, which is my favourite one.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07They are a good collectible, good fun too.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Alex, what do hope to do when you've completed your training?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Originally, I was thinking about doing psychiatry,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17but I think I'm leaning more towards a paediatric sort of route now.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21My parents have fostered so there's always been children around.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- I get on with children. - How are you with babies?

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I get on with babies all right, they don't scream at me too much.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31So why not do paediatrics? Quite.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34That's a good enough reason. What do you get up to in your spare time?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Pretty much all of my spare time is taken up rowing.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39We are training almost every day.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Three days a week, we're on the water - there's land training in all but one other day.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Which is heavy weights in the gym and that.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Some weights, some on the rowing machine.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53So you're gonna get beefier and beefier. You'll need plenty of strength today at Ardingly

0:02:53 > 0:02:55because it's a big old fair to get around.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Now, for the partners, how did you first meet?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02We met when we were at university.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07I was at Goldsmiths doing drama, Sam was at Chelsea College of Art doing fine art.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12- So you're an actress? - Yes, well, struggling.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13How is it going?

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Really good. I've just finished a tour of a play in the Midlands,

0:03:17 > 0:03:20and I've just done a couple of adverts and things like that.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- It isn't easy, is it? - Not at all, it's very competitive.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Are you what they call "resting" at the moment?- Yes, I think so. I like to think so.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Not after this programme, you won't, with any luck.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36I hope you have a good time today, because it's a tough profession that you are in.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Samuel, do you have equally enormous ambitions?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'd like to be a portrait painter one day if possible.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45At the moment, I'm teaching literacy and numeracy to support that.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Are you? You've had to bite the commercial bullet

0:03:49 > 0:03:51that's enabling you to live?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Yes, if you like, yeah.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55It's always a shame, that, isn't it?

0:03:55 > 0:04:01I think portrait painters, some 20th-century portrait painters, have done enormously well, haven't they?

0:04:01 > 0:04:05They have, yes. There is a thriving modern art market,

0:04:05 > 0:04:06but I'm not in it yet.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Just a question of breaking in, isn't it?- That's right, yeah.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Do you enjoy shopping for antiques?

0:04:13 > 0:04:17We're both novices, but we enjoy having a look around the markets where we live.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21We live just off Brick Lane, Spitalfields at the moment. We do enjoy it.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- That is a great part of London, isn't it?- It is fantastic, very vibrant.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- You never know what you're gonna find.- No, it's brilliant.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32It's just like Ardingly today. What fun.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35£300 apiece for our lovely young teams,

0:04:35 > 0:04:38who need to be fit to dash off.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41You know the rules, your experts await,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43and off you go, and very good luck.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47Will the Reds' scientific approach pay off,

0:04:47 > 0:04:50or will the Blues simply be a harder act to follow?

0:04:50 > 0:04:55As usual, our teams get 60 minutes to peruse the stalls and purchase

0:04:55 > 0:04:58their items, which will then be sold on at auction in Chiswick.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03With a bit of luck, both of our teams will make some money,

0:05:03 > 0:05:06but they will need some help, so...

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Searching in every nook and cranny for the Reds is Anita Manning,

0:05:09 > 0:05:14and helping the Blues get the best deal is Catherine Southon.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Excellent.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Any aircraft memorabilia?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I was drawn towards this, because I know you said

0:05:28 > 0:05:33you wanted something decorative, thinking about dressing up a house or flat or something like this.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38It's actually pony skin, you can see on here.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43It is quite nice and early, probably 1830s, 1840s in date.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- I love this studded pattern around here.- We really like it, don't we?

0:05:47 > 0:05:49We do really like it.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Slightly worried about the price for the condition of it.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57Yes, the price is asking 128,

0:05:57 > 0:05:59which is very high, I think.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02It has got wear, but that adds to its appeal, I think?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Its charm. It's not the sort of item you could restore, is it?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08No. I don't think you would, you'd just leave it.

0:06:08 > 0:06:09- You'd leave it as it is.- Yeah.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's got a crack inside, does that go right through?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- It does, yeah. - It does go right through?

0:06:15 > 0:06:16And there's woodworm.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Not happy with the price, or the woodworm,

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Melissa and Sam continue to browse, while Catherine hangs back

0:06:26 > 0:06:28to have a word about the trunk.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- These are from the 1930s.- OK.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40So they are collectible,

0:06:40 > 0:06:46it is useful and lighting always makes reasonable prices.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51- What I like about this one here is that it's a miniature one. - It's a small size, yeah.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52It's a miniature one.

0:06:52 > 0:06:57- It's not one that sits on top of something like that...- Yeah.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02..it has been a hanging light.

0:07:02 > 0:07:07You would hook chains which come from these three hooks here.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11I don't know, what would it be for?

0:07:11 > 0:07:13A bijou residence?

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Or a very small room? - A very small room, uh-huh.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22Would many people have the fittings to hang and use it?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, all it really needs is a chain.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27Would they lower the price? They are quite rusted.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29No, no, no, no, no.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33- That lets us know that it is an original one.- Original, yeah.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36And it's very nicely coloured.

0:07:36 > 0:07:42If you look at this lovely green and blue and pink on the inside,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45if you hold that up to the light,

0:07:45 > 0:07:48that is going to glow a beautiful...

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- When the light shines through. - When the light shines down.

0:07:51 > 0:07:54I think it's a nice wee item.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Tell me what you think.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- It's not the colours I'd choose for our house.- Right, OK.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01But I understand how, with the light shining through,

0:08:01 > 0:08:06it would create more of an atmosphere in the room rather than just a light bulb.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Uh-huh. What do you think?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11You said it was smaller than a standard one...

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- The standard one is that size. - Will there be more interest

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- because it's miniature... - Exactly!- ..or less use for it?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20It could be a combination of the two!

0:08:20 > 0:08:23But I think that it's more interesting because it is miniature.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27It has £30 on the ticket.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Try and get it down to... if you get it about 20,

0:08:29 > 0:08:34or even below that, we might have a chance here.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37- OK, thank you very much. - We'll see what we can do.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Their team work paid off. The boys bought the lampshade for £15.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Fast work, guys.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46So the Reds have got off to a good start.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Now, after some tough negotiation from Catherine,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52the Blues can have the trunk for £75.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Let's see what they make of that.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- I do really like it. - Shall we bag it as our first item?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Yeah, why not?- Are you sure? I don't wanna push you into this?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02No, let's do it, let's go for it.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- You're wavering. - I'm wavering slightly.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Maybe if we could just walk down and come back...- Sure.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11..because it takes a chunk out of the money, doesn't it?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Quite a considerable chunk.- Mmm.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Decision time. - You want to get it, don't you?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Clock's ticking.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Actually, there's a nice feeling about it, isn't there?- Yes.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Good. You said yes straightaway. - Sure?- Yeah, let's get it.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Agreed, let's go.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30There's nothing like a good confab.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35OK, I have spoken to your governor, your boss -

0:09:35 > 0:09:38she said we can have it for £75.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Very cheap. - Well, let's hope so. Deal?- Deal.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Brilliant. Thank you very much.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Come on, we've still got bargains to find.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- No, no. Horrible, horrible! - THEY LAUGH

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I quite like this piece.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08It's a mirror and a matching... matching comb with it.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12I just like the effect of the enamel on the back.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- I see it being a matching pair. Might bring...- Yeah.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19I love the combination of silver and enamelled work,

0:10:19 > 0:10:22and I particularly like this very bonnie blue.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24I always like that combination.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27But when you're looking at enamel work,

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- you've got to make sure that it's not chipped.- OK.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Very difficult and very expensive to restore.- To repair.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37So we've got to... Do we have it in perfect condition?

0:10:37 > 0:10:39The comb looks in good condition.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42- The enamel on this looks pretty perfect as well.- Excellent.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44A couple of chips on the teeth.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46I don't think we need to worry too much

0:10:46 > 0:10:49about the actual teeth of the comb.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's the enamel work. Let me have a look at it.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53There's a hallmark on the side.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56I can just see it's been... it's well rubbed,

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- which means it's been polished and looked after.- OK.

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- By having two pieces, I think it'll draw interest. - You've got two pieces together.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07We're really looking for two pieces for the price of one.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Always good.- Yeah, OK. Price, what's the price on it?

0:11:11 > 0:11:1385, it's priced.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17I think it's well worthwhile having a go at it.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21- Thank you.- Ask the stallholder. - We'll see if we can get money off.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Excuse me.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Can I help?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28We're interested in this collection piece.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Would you be able to, be willing to take some money off the price?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Yes, I can do you a discount.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Let me have a look at this. - 85, it's at.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42At the very best, last price is 65.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Can you take another couple of pounds off?

0:11:45 > 0:11:47No, sorry, that's it.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- What do you think? - You've been very generous,

0:11:50 > 0:11:52thank you very much, that's wonderful.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56This Red Team don't hang about making decisions, oh, no.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59With two out of their three items already bought,

0:11:59 > 0:12:04over half an hour left on the clock and still £220 to spend,

0:12:04 > 0:12:07I'd say they're doing all right.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12I also think I've done rather well spotting something a little unusual.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18Joseph of Nazareth has nothing on this. Just look at that plane.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Isn't it fantastic?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25Technically, you'd call this, I suppose, a jack plane.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29It was made, I think, in Holland

0:12:29 > 0:12:31around about 1680 to 1700.

0:12:31 > 0:12:37This is the sort of plane that a shipwright would have used

0:12:37 > 0:12:41when plying his trade, building, literally, warships,

0:12:41 > 0:12:45merchant vessels. And he'd have needed an enormous plane like this

0:12:45 > 0:12:48to run down a long balk of timber

0:12:48 > 0:12:52and shape it into the appropriate shape.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56What's great about it, I think, is this carving.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00If you look at this fellow on the front here, it's a fishy form,

0:13:00 > 0:13:04I think it's trying to be a dolphin, except, of course,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07it's got scales and dolphin don't have scales.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09But that's the sort of form of it

0:13:09 > 0:13:13that gives you the marine element to this plane.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17On the end of it, it's got this completely wacky, flat nose.

0:13:17 > 0:13:23So it's a species that doesn't really exist. It's a mythical sea creature.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Nothing more appropriate

0:13:25 > 0:13:30for a 17th-century shipwright to have as an emblem

0:13:30 > 0:13:33carved on his enormous plane.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Down at this end, to give you super, extra power,

0:13:37 > 0:13:39there's an additional handle.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41But above that,

0:13:41 > 0:13:45in typical 17th-century style, is carved a couple of fruit.

0:13:45 > 0:13:51The thing is quite badly wormed, it's made probably of pear wood

0:13:51 > 0:13:54or box wood, which is delicious to woodworm,

0:13:54 > 0:13:59and therefore, they've had a good gnaw at certain parts of it.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03But basically, this thing is in extremely good condition.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05The buyer of this object

0:14:05 > 0:14:08is probably a person who's interested in marine history.

0:14:08 > 0:14:14It's got a historic merit to it as well. I love it to bits.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17I was amazed to find it here at Ardingly,

0:14:17 > 0:14:21priced up at £450.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Try slicing that.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25The clock never stops ticking on Bargain Hunt.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29So with 20 minutes to go, how are our teams getting on?

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- That's a bit bling-bling, isn't it? - Awful.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33That's absolutely frightful.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Anybody needing a nice cup of tea?

0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's pretty cold, I could use one.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- A helmet, I'm sure.- Yup.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Shall we sort of shimmy around here? - Yeah.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46There you go.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48We missed that on the way in.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50It's a bit large to miss.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- This will get us going, boys.- Yeah.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55You're the guys that know about aircraft

0:14:55 > 0:14:58who have been waiting for this piece all afternoon.

0:14:58 > 0:15:04- You tell me about it. - Well, it's a propeller, it's wooden.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Is that right? OK.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09I'm not sure if it's an actual one that has been used before.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13It doesn't... I'm not sure how airworthy that one is.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15How airworthy it is, uh-huh.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18It's a very well-made thing. Look at these strips here.

0:15:18 > 0:15:23I'm not sure that that would have been the airplane clock.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25I think that has been put on at a later date.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28Looks a bit fanciful to be inside the vehicle.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's a nice grain as well.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Different colours there.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34So, possibilities.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- Does the fact that the clock isn't working effect it? - No, that won't affect it at all.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40That clock won't affect it.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43The clock has got nothing to do with it.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49Boys, I think this might be the item that we've been looking for for the last hour.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51THEY LAUGH

0:15:51 > 0:15:54Let's find out how much it costs.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Excuse me.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00We're interested in this propeller.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03These lads are into flying.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06This laddie here wants to join the Air Force.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09So we thought this propeller might help him fly.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13How much is it?

0:16:13 > 0:16:1565 is really...

0:16:15 > 0:16:2065. Is that the best that you can do for us?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24£60, if that will help.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26You're a darling.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thank you so much.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32The Reds look as pleased as punch, and so they should be.

0:16:32 > 0:16:36They've bought all their items with 15 minutes to spare.

0:16:36 > 0:16:41The Blues, however, look like they're starting to feel the pressure.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45OK, the panic is setting in now.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49We have 12 minutes left, two items to find.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm not finding anything, I must admit.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56I feel that there's a lot of cheaper items that

0:16:56 > 0:16:59aren't really going to make us any money, or very expensive.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Do we want to go for the more, sort of, expensive quality items?

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- I think so, yeah. - Shall we have a change of tactics?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Yeah. - You mentioned something over here.

0:17:07 > 0:17:12- What's this?- We saw this photo album.- I like that.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16It's really nice but it's got some damage, though, as well.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21OK, so we've got this nice, diamond, mother of pearl inlay on the top,

0:17:21 > 0:17:26sorry, overlay on the top, and on the other side that's nice.

0:17:26 > 0:17:32There's a few fragments missing around here. It's got a great weight to it, hasn't it?

0:17:32 > 0:17:36- It does, yeah. it's got some interesting photos in it.- Has it?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38I like that.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Do you get all the photos?

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Yeah, yeah.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Let's have a look. How much are they asking?- 125.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47That's too much.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Let's see what we can get. Excuse me. Hi.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Can I just have a word with you about the mother of pearl?

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- You like this, Samuel. - I do like this, yeah.

0:17:57 > 0:17:58A little bit of damage here.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01More so on here.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04The spine, yes. It's a really heavy book.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07It's nice because it's got original photographs.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09That's what makes it interesting.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14There's some missing as well. Would you be willing to do anything on the price for that?

0:18:14 > 0:18:17I've got 125 on it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'd do it for 100.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25I'm thinking more about £80.

0:18:25 > 0:18:30Yes, that's actually what I paid for it. 90.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34I understand you've got to make a profit as well.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38We understand that. Can we meet halfway and say 85?

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Ouch, this is getting a bit arm up the back time.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43We'll take it off your hands.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Go on, take it for 85.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50Are you happy with that? You found it, didn't you? Are you happy?

0:18:50 > 0:18:51I hope you do well with it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Thank you very much. Right, let's go.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Well, that was a good deal.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59There's another covered building up there.

0:18:59 > 0:19:04So they've now bought two items and have £140 left.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07But they've only got a few minutes to spend it in.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11Our Blues are feeling the strain.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Keep a clear head on you or you'll never find that last item.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16It might be time for a strategy.

0:19:16 > 0:19:22Split up. OK, you go that way, I'll go this way and let's get together in a few minutes

0:19:22 > 0:19:24to see what we've found.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31Have you found anything?

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Maybe a watch.

0:19:34 > 0:19:37No, OK. Let's move.

0:19:39 > 0:19:46After much frantic searching, Catherine leads the blues to something she's just spotted.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Let me just tell you something about it.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's actually made by Charles Horner.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53You can see the initials there.

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Charles Horner. Can you see that? - Yep.

0:19:56 > 0:20:02There's the hallmark, which I actually couldn't read because it's quite dusty.

0:20:02 > 0:20:04My friend tells me it's...

0:20:04 > 0:20:07- What did you say it was? Sorry. - Approximately 1908.

0:20:07 > 0:20:111908. It's quite nice and early. It's not in perfect condition.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's Art Nouveau in style.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17There's a slight bit of damage to the enamel there and there.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21In perfect condition, this would probably make about 100 or £150.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24The lady's asking for 85.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28I've had a word and we can get it for about 62.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Can we get it for 60 so it's a nice round number?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- You can try.- We can try.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37- We can have it for 60? - That'll do nicely.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Yes.- Shall we go for it?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42- I think we'll go for it. - Are you happy with that? We've spent oodles of cash.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- We have.- But hopefully we've bought good pieces.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47- Nice Charles Horner brooch.- Yes.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51- Yes. Yes? - Well, I don't know, Catherine.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54It still leaves you with £80 to spend on a bonus buy.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59- HE HONKS HIS HORN - It's time to stop the clock. There's no time left to shop.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Let's check out what the Reds bought.

0:21:01 > 0:21:07The boys switched on their charm and bought the small lampshade for £15.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11They took a shine to the silver enamelled mirror and comb set.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13It cost them £65.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17The time certainly was ticking along when they stumbled upon

0:21:17 > 0:21:20the propeller clock. £60 paid.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23OK, chaps. Which is your favourite piece, Joe?

0:21:23 > 0:21:29- My personal favourite piece is the wooden propeller and clock. - Yes. Lovely. What about you, Alex?

0:21:29 > 0:21:34- I'd say the glass light shade, cos we got it so cheap. - That's why it's your favourite?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Yes.- And it's your prediction for the greatest profit?- Yes.

0:21:37 > 0:21:41- What about you, Jim? - I think the same. We managed to knock it down to half price.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- OK, great. You spent £140.- Yes.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49- Which is kind of average. Can I have £160 of leftover lolly? - There you go, Anita.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51That's very handsome, isn't it?

0:21:51 > 0:21:53These boys were a pair of sweethearts.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58Sometimes I can be a wee bit of a sweetheart myself.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59That's a hint.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Oh, Lord. I'm not sure I'd better go there, Anita.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06You'd better go off and get your sweetheart, whatever it is,

0:22:06 > 0:22:10while we remind ourselves what the blues bought.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13At £75, the blues are hoping the pony skin trunk

0:22:13 > 0:22:16will race away at the auction.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20Sam found the mother of pearl photo album and after

0:22:20 > 0:22:24a bit of negotiation, settled on a price of £85.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28The Charles Horner silver brooch was bought with

0:22:28 > 0:22:31just a couple of minutes to spare - £60 paid.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Mellissa and Samuel. You had fun, didn't you?- We did, yes. We really had good fun.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Which is your favourite piece?

0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Mine would have to be the photo album.- The photo album?

0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Yes.- I like the photo album as well.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47There are some really nice photos in there. But I think the pony chest is my favourite.

0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Which is going to bring the biggest profit, Melissa? - Probably the brooch.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54The brooch. Do you agree with that, Simon?

0:22:54 > 0:22:57No, I think the pony chest has got an excellent chance.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00You're well co-ordinated anyway, which is brilliant.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04You spent a great £220, giving £80 of leftover lolly

0:23:04 > 0:23:06to go to Catherine Sullivan for the bonus buy.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Thank you, Tim. - Did you have a good time with them?

0:23:10 > 0:23:14They were great. They're fun and trendy and I want to get them something retro.

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Really?- Something they can shout about.- All right.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22- An interior peace.- I think there's a bit of hinting going on here.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24- I know just the baby.- Good for you.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29I'm about to follow in the footsteps of some really famous people. Wanna join me?

0:23:36 > 0:23:43Leeds Castle has had a very colourful history over the last 1,000 years.

0:23:43 > 0:23:49It's withstood sieges, it's seen hangings from its chain drawbridge

0:23:49 > 0:23:54and at various times it's been used as a prison, as a hospital

0:23:54 > 0:23:59and even as a refuge from the plague of London. Wow!

0:24:00 > 0:24:07During that time, the rooms inside the castle had been continuously altered to reflect its changing use.

0:24:07 > 0:24:13Lady Baillie, the castle's last private owner, was a perennial socialite.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18She adapted the rooms to create a luxurious party venue in the 1920s.

0:24:18 > 0:24:23This space is the chapel, but in Lady Baillie's time

0:24:23 > 0:24:26she used it to store her collection of gramophone records.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30She must have had quite a collection and the music

0:24:30 > 0:24:36was piped from here into the adjoining banqueting hall for the benefit of her guests.

0:24:36 > 0:24:41The space has now been reconsecrated as a chapel and I think one of

0:24:41 > 0:24:44the most spectacular works of art in this area

0:24:44 > 0:24:48are these four carved wooden panels.

0:24:48 > 0:24:55Strictly speaking these would have formed the reredos or back panel of an altar piece.

0:24:55 > 0:25:03They were made in Ulm which is in Bavaria, about 60 miles from Munich, and are most unusual.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08The scale of the panels themselves is extraordinary.

0:25:08 > 0:25:15What we got here is pear wood, which is dense, light and relatively easy to carve,

0:25:15 > 0:25:21which is probably a sandwich of three layers, so that you don't get much warpage,

0:25:21 > 0:25:25and then this has been carved alto-relievo.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30Alto-relievo means that the carving is very bold

0:25:30 > 0:25:34and stands out from the background.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Overall they tell a story. We have the annunciation, we've got the nativity,

0:25:38 > 0:25:43we've got the adoration and we've got the presentation of our Lord.

0:25:43 > 0:25:48But my favourite, I think, is the adoration.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52Don't you just love the expression on all these faces?

0:25:52 > 0:25:58Here we've got the three kings making their presentation.

0:25:58 > 0:26:03Over the back wall is a character, probably a shepherd, looking over

0:26:03 > 0:26:09to see the presentation of the gold, frankincense and myrrh.

0:26:09 > 0:26:16These were created around 1500, which makes them 500-odd years old.

0:26:16 > 0:26:23All in all, the four panels make up an incredibly important work of art.

0:26:23 > 0:26:31The big question today is, will any of our teams' works of art turn out to be incredibly important?

0:26:31 > 0:26:32I doubt it.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52We've come 40 miles-ish north-ish to west London.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Chiswick Auction Rooms is our venue today, with our auctioneer William Rouse.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Glad to have you here, Tim. - Very nice to be here.

0:26:59 > 0:27:06For the red team, Joseph and Alex, they've gone with this light shade, found by Anita.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Do you fancy that at all? - I think...

0:27:09 > 0:27:15The merit is, it's a bit smaller than usual, so there is something quite interesting about that.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20Plafonnier is the word that we use to describe it.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Good. Does that make it worth...?

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Probably not. - More than £15, hopefully.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27I'm sure it will fetch more than £15.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30I think we probably reckon £25 - £40 or something like that.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Brilliant. Well, Anita will be delighted about that.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37Next is the enamelled mirror and comb.

0:27:37 > 0:27:42Nicely engine turned and bright blue and in good nick.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45I like that very much.

0:27:45 > 0:27:51The critical thing with enamel is that if it's chipped it's no good because it's so difficult to repair.

0:27:51 > 0:27:55Any lady would find that a useful little thing to have in the handbag, I'm sure.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Yes, quite. I'm sure, too.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00How sure are you, though?

0:28:00 > 0:28:01What's it worth, do you reckon?

0:28:01 > 0:28:04I think we've put about £50 - £80 on it.

0:28:04 > 0:28:10Very good. £65 paid. What about this aircraft propeller timepiece?

0:28:10 > 0:28:15Well, I can't help thinking it must have come from a very small aircraft, cos it's a tiny propeller.

0:28:15 > 0:28:20So often they are such a lot bigger. But it's got an interesting conversion

0:28:20 > 0:28:23with a quartz concealed movement inside.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Oh, yes. That's very special, that.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Yes. Perhaps a more recent edition. - Still, there we go. Interesting.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34- What's it worth?- I think it's definitely worth £50 to or £80.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38OK, £60 paid. So, on prediction, there should be a small profit

0:28:38 > 0:28:41on all three of these items, and they may not need their bonus buy.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44But let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Now, Alex and Joseph, this is the bonus buy.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50You spent £140, you gave Anita £160.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Did she blow the lot?- No, I didn't.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57- Let's have a look at what I bought. - It's very nice.

0:28:57 > 0:29:02I wanted to buy something with an RAF connection.

0:29:02 > 0:29:07And this little brooch is called a sweetheart brooch.

0:29:07 > 0:29:12And it was given to RAF servicemen to their wives or girlfriends.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15It's silver, with enamel.

0:29:15 > 0:29:20- And it's a very pretty thing. People collect them. - How much did you spend on it?- £20.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21It's just about the right price for it.

0:29:21 > 0:29:26- We might make a couple of pounds profit.- It looks in good condition. - It is.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29Alex is giving it the forensic approach.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Scientific.- Yes, scientific. The dissection from our medic is taking place here.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37I don't think it'd sell for so much if I dissected it.

0:29:37 > 0:29:42You don't have to decide right now. You decide later, after the sale of the first three items.

0:29:42 > 0:29:47But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's RAF brooch.

0:29:47 > 0:29:54So, William. Does this stir the cockles of your heart? Feel the Dam Busters music ringing in your ears?

0:29:54 > 0:29:59- Does it do it for you?- I can't say it gets me terribly excited.

0:29:59 > 0:30:05- It does say silver on the back, which implies that it isn't even English.- It may not have been.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10Made cheaply abroad and then imported for distribution amongst the boys in blue.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Does it mean it's going to make any money at auction, though?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Probably not a huge amount. £20, £30.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Anything over £20 will see us soaring into profit. Thank you, William.

0:30:20 > 0:30:25That's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues, Melissa and Samuel.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Their first item is the pony skin covered trunk.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32This is pretty horrid, really.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35One can't help wondering if it looked rather nicer 150 years ago.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39Definitely. Unfortunate about the condition, but there we are.

0:30:39 > 0:30:41What do you think it's worth?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43I think I've put about £50 on it.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Have you? £75 was paid.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48So that could be a bit of a loss.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Next up is the mother of pearl encrusted photo album, which is a handsome example.

0:30:52 > 0:30:56I think this is a good thing, actually.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00So often one sees card cases with mother of pearl on, with bits missing. At the very least,

0:31:00 > 0:31:05there's an awful lot of material there for restoration, if you were a restorer.

0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Yeah. Well on that happy note, what do you think it's worth? - I think we put about £100, £150.

0:31:10 > 0:31:14£80 was paid. What about the Charles Horner enamel brooch?

0:31:14 > 0:31:17It's a very small, discreet little thing.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Yeah.- Quite sweet.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22I mean, it's got the Arts And Crafts look to it, hasn't it?

0:31:22 > 0:31:27And I love that green enamel. I think it's the most exciting colour scheme.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30- And of course, Horner is a good maker.- It's a sweet thing.

0:31:30 > 0:31:36- £50 - £80?- £60 paid. Can't argue with that.- Well, there's plenty of leeway there.

0:31:36 > 0:31:40It's this old pony that's going to let them down. That's the trouble with it.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Better go and have a look at their bonus buy, eh?- Yep.

0:31:44 > 0:31:49Now, Melissa and Sam, you spent £220. You gave £80 to Catherine.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52What did she spend the £80 on? This all looks a bit delicate.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54I'm going to need some assistance.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58I'm going to whip it off. Oh, my God! There it goes. Look at that.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00Don't you think that's fantastic?

0:32:00 > 0:32:04- What is it?- This is a drinking set.

0:32:04 > 0:32:06It speaks for itself. It's funky.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09Just like you guys. I know you wanted something retro.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12We have got so much for our money here.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16I paid £25 for this. This is going to make us money.

0:32:16 > 0:32:17What do you think it will make then?

0:32:17 > 0:32:21I think they should make about £50.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Profit?- No, Tim!

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Come on.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29Why not, frankly?

0:32:29 > 0:32:32You've got five pieces, all in brilliant condition.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Stoneware. And it's got a kind of contemporary look to it, hasn't it?

0:32:36 > 0:32:38What do you think, Melissa? Do you like them?

0:32:38 > 0:32:40Yeah, I do. I really like a pattern. I like the blue colour.

0:32:40 > 0:32:45- They're like nice little coffee cups or something. - Beakers.- Anyway, there you go.

0:32:45 > 0:32:46£25 is what we've got.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49We've got a prediction of maybe making £25 profit.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52That's what the girl said.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56That's what she said. We watched her lips.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Hold that thought. Because for viewers at home,

0:32:58 > 0:33:02let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's drink set.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06Well, there we go. A nice little set, isn't it, William?

0:33:06 > 0:33:09It is. Very stylish. I like this diamond design.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13- And of course, Stoneware, so it's kind of bullet proof.- That's right.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16But who's going to buy this, do you think?

0:33:16 > 0:33:22Well, it's quite a practical water jug, with four unchipped, perfect tumblers.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26I can tell you like this, William. How much then, do you think?

0:33:26 > 0:33:27£70 - £100?

0:33:27 > 0:33:30Catherine will be over the moon. She paid £25 for it.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Goodness me. I'm sure we can improve on that.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34She could triple her money on this.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Who knows?- That's if the team go with her bonus buy.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42- We'll find out about that when the auction starts, eh?- Absolutely.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02- OK, boys, you up for this?- Yes. - It's a long wait before you get to the auction.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05- It is a bit, yeah. - But it's the most exciting part.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09First up is the glass lampshade, and here it comes.

0:34:09 > 0:34:14172a, a small marbled glass satin plafonnier.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18172a. Little one there. Is it worth £10?

0:34:18 > 0:34:20£10, surely, for the plafonnier?

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Anybody want it for a tenner?

0:34:23 > 0:34:2710, I'm bid. A maiden bid of £10. We're in for £10.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30And 12, I'll take from somebody else. At £10 then, is all I'm bid.

0:34:30 > 0:34:3210 pounds? It's going for £10.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Selling it for £10, nobody else. £10.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37It's not good.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40It's minus £5.

0:34:40 > 0:34:43Next lot up is the nit comb and the mirror. Here it comes.

0:34:43 > 0:34:50Lot 173a. It's a lady's handbag mirror and comb, 173a.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52What's it worth? Start me for £30.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55A pretty thing for £30. £20 then, to go.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56£20 I'm bid, I thought so, at 20.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59And 22 I'll take. Bidding 22? No, bidding there at £20.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01A maiden bid of £20. Anybody else?

0:35:01 > 0:35:05At £20 for the enamel, for £20.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08£20, it's going there for £20. £22.

0:35:08 > 0:35:13£24. £26. £28. £28 down there.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16£28, it's still cheap at £28. I'm selling it then £28.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20Minus £42 overall, you've got the propeller clock to go for.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22All right? That is pretty shocking so far.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24It's not doing well.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28I'm not going to lie. It might buck up. Here we come.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31174a, it's a laminated wood propeller.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34Set for the clock, 174a.

0:35:34 > 0:35:36What's it worth, start me for £30, a bit of fun there for £30.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38£20 to go then. £20 I'm bid everywhere.

0:35:38 > 0:35:4320 there, £22, £24, £26, £28, £30,

0:35:43 > 0:35:49£32, £34, £36, £38, £40, £40 there.

0:35:51 > 0:35:56£45, fresh bidding. £45 there. £50.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00Is that a no? £45 I'm bid then. At £45. At £45.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03Anybody else, at £45? It's going for £45 then.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06£45, minus £15.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10Which means overall you are minus £57.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14- That's not bad. - Could have done worse.

0:36:14 > 0:36:18Not much! So what are you going to do about the sweetheart brooch?

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Are you going to go with the bonus buy?- We might as well.

0:36:21 > 0:36:25On current form, you can't do a lot worse, can you?

0:36:25 > 0:36:28Anyway, you're going to go with the bonus buy.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31- We are.- You are going with the bonus buy, and here comes Anita's brooch.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36Lot 177a is the little white metal and enamel RAF brooch.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39177a. Is it worth £10?

0:36:39 > 0:36:42A little brooch for £10.

0:36:42 > 0:36:43Surely somebody for £10?

0:36:43 > 0:36:47It must be worth £10. £5 then, surely?

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Oh dear, we are not doing very well. £5 I'm bid. £6, anybody?

0:36:51 > 0:36:53For £5 with the lady.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56I thought you might. £6?

0:36:56 > 0:37:00You want £7, madam? £7?

0:37:00 > 0:37:03£8? No, £8.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm bid in the red here at £8. And £8 it goes.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09For £8 for the brooch, at £8.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Not many sweethearts here.

0:37:15 > 0:37:17Minus £69, I think.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21- An impressive figure.- Minus 69? - Oh, I didn't hear the minus.

0:37:21 > 0:37:26You only spent £160 and you're already minus £69.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Anyway, let's park this.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31Don't tell the Blues a thing. Keep your chin up, walk tall.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Will do.- Lovely.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41So, Melissa and Samuel. How do you think the Reds got on, do you know?

0:37:41 > 0:37:44- I don't know.- We've got no idea.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Hopefully well, though. - Well, not too well!

0:37:48 > 0:37:54- That's very sporting. - You're a lovely bloke. Sweet.

0:37:54 > 0:37:59First lot up is the old pony skin covered trunk, and here it comes.

0:37:59 > 0:38:03Lot 192a is a Georgian pony skin dome top drunk.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05Where shall we start that?

0:38:05 > 0:38:08£20 for it, surely? £20 I'm bid, straight off.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10£20 I'm bid at £20. £22.

0:38:10 > 0:38:16£24. £26, £28, £28, here at £28.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19Anybody else at £28? That's £30 there. £32.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22£34. £36.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25£38. £38, to the lady at £38 then.

0:38:25 > 0:38:29I can sell it for £38. Anybody else want to come in for £38 then?

0:38:29 > 0:38:34£38, old thing, then. Selling for £38.

0:38:34 > 0:38:38- £38, it canters off into the sunset. - You were right, and I was wrong.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41It got some bidding interest though, didn't it?

0:38:41 > 0:38:45That's £37 down the drain so far.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49Next up is the pearl covered album, and here it comes.

0:38:49 > 0:38:56193a is a Victorian mother of pearl carte de visite album, 193a.

0:38:56 > 0:38:57Let's start me for £50 for it.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00It must be worth £50 for the carte de visite. Surely, for £50?

0:39:00 > 0:39:0240, then to go. £40 I'm bid.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06£45, £50, £55, it's very cheap for £45. £50 I'll take.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10At £45, I can't believe it. At £45.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12All I'm bid for £45.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Anybody else want to come in for 45?

0:39:14 > 0:39:18£50, just in time there. £50, we're crawling along at £50.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Anybody else for £50? It's half money at £50.

0:39:20 > 0:39:25It's crawling, isn't it? For £50, I'm going to sell it for £50, then.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29I'm sorry, but that's another minus £35.

0:39:29 > 0:39:31Now, Charles Horner.

0:39:31 > 0:39:37194a is an Art Nouveau silver and enamel oval-shaped brooch, 194a.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39There it is.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Is it worth £20?

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Surely for the little brooch at 20. 20 I'm bid. I thought so. £22.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47£24. £26.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50£28. £30. £32. £34.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53I can only do two at once, I'll come to you in a second.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55£34. £36.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56£38.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59£38. Would you like 40, madam? £40.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02£45. £50. £55.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06£55, there at £55. £55.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Anybody else for 55? Then it goes at £55.

0:40:08 > 0:40:11Oh no, £55. That's tight, isn't it?

0:40:11 > 0:40:16Minus £5, which means overall you are minus £77.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Minus 77.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22After all that prediction of joy.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I know! It was looking so good.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26It was looking so good.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29Anyway, what are you going to do about the old drinks set.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32- I think we'll take it. - We've got nothing to lose.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36You could lose another £25. But you're going with the drinks set.

0:40:36 > 0:40:41197a is this Goebels jug with four tumblers. 197a.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45Decorative lot. Must be worth £50.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Start me for £40 for the lot, please, for £40 for it.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50For the jug - for £40.

0:40:50 > 0:40:52No?

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Surely somebody wants this for £40.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57£30 then to get me going? 30 then, anybody?

0:40:57 > 0:40:58Surely for 30?

0:40:58 > 0:41:02£20, then? Goodness me. £20 I'm bid.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05Dear, oh, dear. £20. Anybody else?

0:41:05 > 0:41:08It's surely worth more than this for £20. It's here to be sold.

0:41:08 > 0:41:12Anybody want it? £20 I'm bid, with a maiden bid of £20.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15- It's going then for £20, it goes for 20 then.- There we go, £20.

0:41:15 > 0:41:20So overall you are minus £82.

0:41:20 > 0:41:21- It is a tragedy.- It is.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Now, minus £82 could be a winning score.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26THEY LAUGH

0:41:26 > 0:41:30So don't tell the Reds a scrap. OK?

0:41:30 > 0:41:32Not a word out of those old lips.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34OK.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Been talking? Communicating at all? - No.

0:41:40 > 0:41:45Absolutely not. Well, I had to tell you that the scale of today's losses are pretty massive.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48This should come as no secret to either of the teams.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51It's simply a question of scale.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55And the one with the serious whopper is, of course, the Blues.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57THEY LAUGH

0:41:57 > 0:42:01- £82. Pretty good, isn't it? - It's pretty bad.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03I make that minus, minus throughout.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05I don't know what happened in there, but

0:42:05 > 0:42:09they were predicting some profits that just never materialised.

0:42:09 > 0:42:11- They were.- Bad luck all round.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- I thought we were gonna be all right.- I thought so, too.

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Everybody thought you were gonna do all right. It goes to show that you just can't tell.

0:42:18 > 0:42:22You've been a great couple. We've loved having you, all of you on the programme.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24It's been great.

0:42:24 > 0:42:28Before we all burst into tears, let's get really miserable.

0:42:28 > 0:42:32The Reds, who didn't do that much better, they managed to lose £69.

0:42:32 > 0:42:36And every single one of your items is a minus score as well.

0:42:36 > 0:42:41Even though the prediction was there for reasonable profits.

0:42:41 > 0:42:46They again didn't materialise. Sometimes an auction is just like that.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50But I hope you've had a good time, because we've loved having you on the programme.

0:42:50 > 0:42:55- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
