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 > 0:00:38Antiques and Collectors Fair
0:00:38 > 0:00:44is home to nearly 2,000 stalls, 90 shopping arcades,
0:00:44 > 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 > 0:01:04it's going to be a right old race against the clock.
0:01:04 > 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.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And today, not two but four teams will be vying
0:01:23 > 0:01:24for the Ardingly crown.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Will our first pair of reds and blues be setting a cracking pace?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33On the red team we've got Val and John. Welcome.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And for the blues, we've got Nick and Sally. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Now, Val, what do you do, darling?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I work my partner's shop in the Lanes in Brighton, in the South Lanes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- And what do you collect, Val? - Well, we collect motorbikes, really,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- and scooters.- Really?- Yes. - And how many motorbikes and scooters have you got?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, we've got two scooters and three Harley Davidsons.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Oh, quite serious stuff, then.- Yes. - Gosh.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- And how come you know John, then? - I met John in the supermarket
0:02:01 > 0:02:03where he works.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, he was guessing what I was having for dinner.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It was spaghetti bolognese, and he also likened me to somebody who he's very fond of.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Yes, I'm a bit of a fan of a little singer-songwriter lady called Lynsey de Paul, and she reminded me of her.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- What do you collect, then, John? - Showbiz memorabilia.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23I've got some of Liberace's ornaments, the mirrored headboard out of the film The Bitch,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- that Joan Collins laid up against, Bet Lynch earrings.- Oh, really?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Cos all that stuff just shoots up in value all the time, doesn't it?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Yes, it seems so.- Have you ever tried selling any of it?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I did have one of Bette Davis's frocks from Death on the Nile...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Yeah.- ..and I bought it for 200 and sold it for 600.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Right. So that was a good turn.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- It was a good investment. - Good luck today on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- Now for the Blues, the fiances Nick and Sally.- Hello, Tim.- Hi. So, Nick, what do you do?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I'm a specialist support worker for the NHS.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- And what do you collect? - Quite a few things, actually.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00First of all, lighters, vintage lighters.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Also vintage cigarette cases and, more recently, vintage wrist watches.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06And how did you meet?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- We met on an online dating site. - Oh, I see. Yeah.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And what happens, then? You get to chat...
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Yeah, we started out just by emailing
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and then speaking on the phone, but I wasn't particularly interested
0:03:20 > 0:03:24because he used to have really long dreadlocks. I saw his photo with long dreadlocks and...
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- You thought, "Not for me."- Not for me. But when we met, it was...
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Caramba. Another caramba! We're full of carambas on this programme!
0:03:33 > 0:03:36What sort of things do you collect, Sal?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38For some reason, I'm attracted to toast racks.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I've bought a few recently.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I've known people who've collected toast racks - they are fun things.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- So I'm not the only one? - No, no, you're not the only one.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53This is what you've been waiting for. There's your £300.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So, let's meet today's Bargain Hunt experts.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Pretty as a picture for the Reds, it's Anita Manning.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10And making right old racket for the Blues, it's Catherine Southon.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12A couple of boxes over there...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16With only 60 minutes on the clock, there's no time to lose,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18but are the Reds barking up the wrong tree?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21So what do you think? Do you like...?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Dogs are always popular, aren't they?- You're a cat man, aren't you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26I'm more catty than doggy, I must admit...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29They're not silver, are they? No, they're not silver.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33They're a white metal, but this one here I like in particular.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35It's very well moulded.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's well made and there's a wee bit of quality there.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Now, I can't find any marks at all,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44any maker's name, so there's nothing there.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46What sort of price are these?
0:04:46 > 0:04:4735 quid the two.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- £35? - Well, that's the pair.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- I think we need to try and go a wee bit...- A bit lower?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Uh-huh. We want to make profit.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- We do.- This is Bargain Hunt.- Exactly.
0:05:01 > 0:05:0218.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Um, you couldn't give me 25?
0:05:06 > 0:05:0820.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- £20. Will it be cash?- It'll be cash.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Go on, then, you've got a deal.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Only ten minutes gone, and the Reds are already wagging their tails with their first item.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I think it's a bit expensive, but...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Oh, yeah, I'm liking that immediately. I am liking that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28You're liking it, I'm liking it. I'm liking it cos you're liking it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Have a feel.- I really like that.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Love the colour.- And it's got its little stopper intact as well.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35If it is original.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37So I think maybe sort of post-Victorian.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I don't think it is Victorian.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41£78 is quite... I'd like to get...
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- I know it sounds quite cheeky, but I'd like to get that for sort of £40.- 40?
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Nick managed to get the scent bottle down to £65, but is that low enough?
0:05:54 > 0:05:58With 20 minutes gone and literally hundreds of thousands of items to look at,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01both teams are going to have to get their skates on.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- It's a wee pencil case.- Oh, I say.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- I like that.- It's good! You've got quite interesting things.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- It's like an umbrella. - That's it. It's a novelty item.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15We've got a little ruler there...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18a pen and a pencil.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21So it's a novelty item.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Are we able to negotiate with you, sir?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- It has to be 70 quid. - You're frightened by paying £60.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28I'm tight.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36The Reds are making some quick decisions today, but £70 for
0:06:36 > 0:06:41that pencil case seems a bit on the blunt end of a profit to me. Huh!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43We're nearly halfway through.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Let's see what's catching the eye of the Blue team.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- Do you know what these are?- For making pills.- Pill-making machines. Good, aren't they?- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- So you put your...- Ingredients. - ..the mixture, the ingredients in here, and then...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Is that the roller for that? - Yeah. And then pull that down.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- I'm loving that. - You're loving that?- Yes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- And I think 98 is a bit punchy.- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Why did you like this?- I don't know. It's sort of...cos it works.
0:07:09 > 0:07:15- Or would work. It would still work, wouldn't it?- Absolutely. - I think it's really nicely made.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It is quite nice quality.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21- I could probably see this at auction £80 to £120.- Really?- Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- But I would like to buy it at about 60.- How much?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28About 60. Well, I'd like to buy it as cheap as possible, but...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Mmm.- Shall we give that a go?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34We could do. You're the one that spotted it and liked it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Why don't you try and get it down, and when I've spotted something,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- I'll haggle down.- I'm liking that. - Go and do your stuff.- OK!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42..a maker's mark and there isn't one.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46No. I can't. There's nothing in it. 78 I'd do. That's 20 quid off.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- 70.- We've got it in cash. - 70. Then it's yours.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Do you think that's reasonable?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I think it might be worth a go.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I think £70, it might be worth a go.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Well done, Nick. But will £70 prove a bitter pill to swallow at the auction later on?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Both our teams have bought two of their three items
0:08:03 > 0:08:08and with 15 minutes remaining, the pressure's on to find one more shiny object.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11But with so much choice, where does one begin?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Oh, now...- £55.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Oh, yes, that's a lovely one.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I like this. I love the colour.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24I'd probably put some form of scented candle in it, I think, as a centrepiece in the table.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Price - how much is it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It's £28.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- £28?- Yes.- Right.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So do you think we could perhaps
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- ask the stall-holder if we can get it cheaper than that?- We'll try.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Call him over.- Excuse me, sir.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Hello.- Hello.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48We've chosen this item.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Mm-hmm, a good choice.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52It's beautiful. It's £28.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Um...would you take £18 for it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Um, I think 20 would be a better price, to be honest.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04£20 is a nice round figure as well.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- A nice round figure.- And it's a nice-looking note as well.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well...I think we'll go with that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Great. Thank you very much. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Do you want me to wrap it for you? - Yes, that'd be lovely.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Well done, Reds. Three items and five minutes to spare.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25But the Blues are still struggling to find their final item.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Time goes so quickly!- I know!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, that is to die for. Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Ooh, it's a little purse!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Can you date it at all? Because I don't recognise the, um...
0:09:37 > 0:09:41With the tortoiseshell, I'm thinking sort of 1860s.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Very sweet, isn't it? Now, you said you wanted something tactile.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Yeah, I love it. - It is really, really pretty.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I would see that at auction
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- probably making around £80, £90, £100.- Right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- What's on it?- It's well over 100.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58160.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Shall we see if we can...? - I don't think she's going to go down very much on it.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Sal does her first deal and comes away looking pleased as Punch,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09putting the purse strings at a cool £100.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Next time.- Yeah. BELL RINGS
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Time's up. Ooh!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Val and John went barking mad for these woofers at £20.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27Will the umbrella pencil case make them a profit for a rainy day?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And will the candle-holder light up the auction house
0:10:30 > 0:10:33like it lit up Val's face?
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- So, Val and John, did you enjoy your shopping?- Yeah, it was great.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yeah, it was lovely.- And you had a lovely expert to look after you.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- We did. She's smashing, yeah. - Which is your favourite piece, Val?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- The glass.- The glass is your favourite. What about you, John?
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- I like the glass too.- You like the glass, yeah. Which piece is going to make the biggest profit?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- I think it might be the dogs.- The dogs. All gone to the dogs. John?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I'll put my confidence in the glass. - OK, sticking with the glass.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You spent £110, which is not a lot of money.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I'd like £190 of leftover lolly to give straight to Anita.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06So were they as good as they look?
0:11:06 > 0:11:12They absolutely wonderful. I had a wonderful time working with them.
0:11:12 > 0:11:17And I've got my eye on something that will celebrate good friendship.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Oh, Lord, sounds alcoholic to me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You'd better go off and get it, Anita.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23And very, very good luck.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32Nick and Sal sniffed out a bargain in this Victorian scent bottle.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Take one of these with a glass of water and you'll be fine.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38£70 for the pill press.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42And finally, some impressive bartering
0:11:42 > 0:11:45saw £60 knocked off this tortoiseshell purse.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- So, Nick and Sal, did you have a great time?- Yeah, great.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51It was a bit of a whirlwind.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Certainly was a nail-biter at the end, I'd say.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Anyway, you did extremely well. Which is your favourite piece, Sal?
0:11:59 > 0:12:04- Definitely the Victorian purse. - The purse is your favourite. What about, Nick?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think the 19th-century pill press.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Pill press. Good. Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- I hope the purse, actually.- OK. - I'm sticking with the pill press.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Ah, you're determined, you two.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Anyway, you spent a magnificent £235 eventually. £65 of leftover lolly.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Thank you very much. Goes straight to Catherine.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- I'm going to buy them something pretty and functional.- Are you?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Mmm. Because we've got... She wants pretty and he wants functional.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34All right, fine. Well, well done with that, anyway.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Well, we've popped in to central London, to Chiswick Auctions,
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- to be with our auctioneer, William Rouse. Morning.- Pleasure to have to here, Tim.- Lovely to be here, too.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Now, Val and John for the Reds,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54their first item is these two little figurines.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56What do you make of those woofers, then?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01I think they're rather nice. They're not very old, not silver, but they're very collectable.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05People like dogs, so they've got a good chance of selling quite easily.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh, good. How much?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I think I ended up putting £50-£80 on them.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Did you? Have you had a mental aberration?!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15No, seriously, they paid £20.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- If you think they're going to £40, £50, £60... - I think they should make 40.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Fantastic. They could double their money. That is exciting.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Next is the umbrella pencil case, which is a charming little collectable, isn't it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:33- It is. Whether it was originally designed for pencils, I don't know. It probably was.- What's it worth?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I think again the estimate on that is about £50.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Is it? Well, they paid 70, so he gives with one hand and he takes away with the other.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Maybe. And lastly is this...
0:13:44 > 0:13:48I think they called it a candle-holder but it's not really a candle-holder.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53No, it's a goblet, but not one you'd drink out of. I think it's for putting on the mantelpiece.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- Yes. It was made by a drunken glass-maker. - At the end of the day, do you think?
0:13:57 > 0:14:02At the end of the day. He'd had one or two glasses of Rioja, I suspect, and that was the end product.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05It's a pretty ghastly-looking thing, isn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It isn't very nice.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11No. So you have to have a bit of a guesstimate on that one. What do you think it might make?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- 20-30.- £20-£30.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Well, they paid £20 for it, so that's about spot on.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Overall, though, promising, particularly with the dog department?- I think so.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24But just in case, let's have a look at the Bonus Buy, and here it comes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30Now, Val and John, you spent £110, you gave Anita Manning £190.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Anita, did you spend the lot?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- No, I didn't.- Oh.- I was a wee bit careful with my money.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- I ALWAYS am. - Funny you should say that!
0:14:38 > 0:14:44Are you going to show us what you bought, then, or are you just going to tease us?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Ahh...- It's a pin cushion.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53It would've been made by a soldier or sailor in Victorian times.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57During the long hours of inactivity waiting for a battle,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01they would do these... what we'd call trench art.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And there's always a little bit of text in it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08On this one, we have "Think of me",
0:15:08 > 0:15:14which is a wee bit sort of sad, I think. I paid £55 for it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Is there a profit in it, do we think?
0:15:17 > 0:15:18It's not going to fly.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23There is a certain price for this type of thing, but we could make £5 or £10.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Just a question of pinning a profit down, isn't it?
0:15:26 > 0:15:32On that happy note, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's pin cushion.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I can't say I like it, but the good thing is that, particularly
0:15:36 > 0:15:40with items of this nature, they tend to fall apart quite quickly, and it is broadly intact.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And you can read the poem so that's a good thing.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49Yes, and representing, I suppose, the purest form of Victorian lurve.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Absolutely.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Well, I don't think either of us particularly "lurve" it, but what's it worth?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- £50?- 50? Is it really? - I should've thought so.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Anita Manning, who is easily swayed on the romantic side of life, paid £55 for it,
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- so she might make a profit? - Certainly the right money.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Well, it's the Bonus Buy and they may never even select it, but that's interesting. Thank you, William.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Nick and Sally.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Their first item is this little scent bottle. Desirable, I guess, because it's cranberry.
0:16:21 > 0:16:27Yeah, that's certainly a good thing, and the bottle is intact, but it has suffered a little bit of a bash.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30As is often the case it's, I think, been dropped at some point.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And that's a bit squashed as a result, yes, which is a shame.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Interesting to see what it looked like when it was cleaned up.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Hmm. Saleable?- Yeah, well, they're collectable.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- They're good for a sort of little vitrine.- How much do you think?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I think I've put sort of around £50-£80 on it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50£65 paid, so that sits pretty comfortably in the estimate, anyway.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Next up is this rather wacky pill-making machine.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Not the most practical thing in the world. I have seen them before, and
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'm not sure that they ever create a frenzy of bidding, to be frank with you.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06If anyone could think of a practical reason to have it somewhere in your house, it might do quite well.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09That's the thing, but the estimate of £40-£60 is probably reflecting
0:17:09 > 0:17:12the fact that we think it's not going to go crazy.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17£40-£60. We're going to have to keep taking the tablets, I think, cos they paid £70.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- Ah. Gosh.- Yes. Still, there we go.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Next is the tortoiseshell purse,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25which is a nice-quality little thing.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's a nice thing. It's seen a bit of life as well.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's a bit tired on the outside, it's a bit tired on the inside,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34but they again are quite collectable things.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Again, about £50, I think. - Gosh. £100 they paid.
0:17:36 > 0:17:43- Well, I think 50-80 is our estimate, so with a fair wind...- Going to be a bit tight, though, isn't it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47I think, in fairness, they're going to need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50So, Sally and Nick, you've spent £235 -
0:17:50 > 0:17:54that's what I call a proper amount of money - leaving Catherine only £65.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- What did Catherine buy? - Are you ready?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Da-da!- Ooh.- Ah.- Ah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Now, you wanted something pretty, you wanted something functional.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I combined the two and I got us a functional beaker.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Has it got a mark? - Yes, it is stamped. There we are. It is tarnished, it is worn.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18I mean, in perfect condition, I think we could do quite well with this. I paid £32 for it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Oh.- Which is actually not bad.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22So how much can you see it getting at auction?
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I would hope this would make about £40, £50.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- £10 or £15 predicted, anyway. - I would hope so, Tim, yes. - Hold that thought, OK?
0:18:31 > 0:18:37For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little beaker.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Well, William, the old adage "only buy things in good condition" does not apply with this object,
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- does it?- It's not great. - It's effectively worn out, isn't it?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48It is. The decoration once upon a time was quite nice.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Well, it's still quite nice to some extent, but it is well and truly dented, missing its plate.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56£32 Catherine spent on it. Is she going to make a profit?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Well, we put 20-30 on it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- There you go. Are you doing the necessary on the rostrum?- I am.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Ah, we're in safe hands.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13So, Val and John, here we are on the edge of the auction.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17- How are you feeling, Val? - Excited.- Are you?- Oh, yes.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- How excited?- Very!- Are you?
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- It's my first auction.- You've never been to an auction before? - Never been to an auction before.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Good Lord! Yet another virgin. This is lovely.- I wouldn't say that.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- What about you, John? Are you a virgin? - No, not at auctions, I'm not.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Or any other way, really.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- You've been thoroughly deflowered, have you?- Yes, I have. - OK. Well, there we go.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Anyway, the first lot up are the dog figurines, John, and here they come.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Two in the lot here, 58. What's the worth? £20 for it, please.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Surely for 20?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51OK, start me for 10, then, for the two of them.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52£10 for the two...
0:19:52 > 0:19:5510 I'm bid, a maiden bid at £10. At £10, £12...
0:19:55 > 0:19:5814, 16, 18...
0:19:58 > 0:19:59£18 here. At £18.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01They seem cheap for 18.
0:20:01 > 0:20:07At £18, anybody else want to come in? At £18, then. 18. They go then at 18.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Oh, dear.- Ohh!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12£18. Well, I'm afraid that prediction wasn't much good.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Minus £2 on that. Look out.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Next up is the umbrella.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20What's the lot worth? £20 for it, please. Surely for 20.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22All right, start me for 10, then.
0:20:22 > 0:20:2610 I'm bid. Down here at £10. Anybody else want to come in.
0:20:26 > 0:20:2712, thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:2914, 16, 18,
0:20:29 > 0:20:3320, 22...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36£22 nearer to me. At 22, anybody else?
0:20:36 > 0:20:38At £22. £22, then.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Oh, dear!- Dear, oh dear, oh dear.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45That's 8 short of 30.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Don't worry about it. - Minus 48 on that.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53I mean, really! For £22, that lovely little case.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Anyway, don't despair. Here comes the goblet.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Lot 52A is a blue modern-art glass goblet. Lot 52A.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Well, I've got a bid of commission interest in this lot, 52A,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05and I can start the bidding at £24.
0:21:05 > 0:21:0924 with me. At 24, 26, 28...
0:21:09 > 0:21:1228 with me, on commission at £28.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Anybody else want to come in in the room?
0:21:13 > 0:21:1728 it's selling for, then. £28.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18- Well done!- Thank you.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Super. It still makes you minus £42.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25What are you going to do about the sweetheart?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Well, I think we're going with it, aren't we?- Well, I think we are.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32You're going with the Bonus Buy, the sweetheart cushion and here it comes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Bit of fun, this. "Think of me" on it. There we go. What's it worth?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39£30 for it? Must be worth 30.
0:21:39 > 0:21:4230 I'm bid. Straight in at £30.
0:21:42 > 0:21:4535 behind you, 40...
0:21:45 > 0:21:5045, 50, 55, 60...
0:21:50 > 0:21:5265, 70,
0:21:52 > 0:21:5475...
0:21:54 > 0:21:59£75. At £75, 80 anywhere else? For £75, anybody else want to come in?
0:21:59 > 0:22:0375 it is, then. At 75...
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Well done, Anita. You are plus £20 on your sweetheart cushion.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Well, that's amazing. Plus £20. That's brilliant.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- We did the right thing. - Thank goodness you did.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Which takes you to only minus £22.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Now, minus 22 could be a winning score. Don't tell the Blues a thing.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Won't tell the Blues.- Mum's the word. - Mum's the word.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24- Not a sausage.- Not a sausage.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Hi, guys.- Hi.- Excited?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Yes.- Yeah, very. - Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- No idea. - No, we don't want you to either.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- So how do you feel you're going to get on today, Sal?- Um...
0:22:43 > 0:22:44So-so.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47No, I think one of your things is going to do really well.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Which bit's going to do well?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- I think the little purse might do well.- The tortoiseshell purse?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Yeah.- Well, it is beautifully made, that purse, isn't it?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59With any luck. You know, this is a London audience.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02They like these more sophisticated little pieces to go into vitrines.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05You might be lucky. So I've got my legs crossed for you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- I've got everything crossed. - Everything? Good.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13And, if all else fails, you can always fall back on the Art Nouveau beaker.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Ah! First up, though, is the perfume bottle, and here it comes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Lot 72A, the cranberry scent bottle. There we go.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22What's it worth? £20 to start me for the bottle.
0:23:22 > 0:23:2420 I'm bid.
0:23:24 > 0:23:2822, 24, 26, 28,
0:23:28 > 0:23:3030, fresh bidder.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Do you want 32? 34.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37£34 for the...number raised.
0:23:37 > 0:23:4034, 36 straight in front of me.
0:23:40 > 0:23:4538, 40, 45, 50.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49£50 nearer to me. At 50. At £50, the little scent bottle.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52At £50, anybody else? £50 it's going, then.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54For £50, all done? 50.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56£50. Cheap enough.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58£50. That's minus £15.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Now, the pill-making machine.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Let's start me for £10.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Who wants it for £10? 10 I'm bid, straight in.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06£12 in front of you.
0:24:06 > 0:24:0814, 16, 18,
0:24:08 > 0:24:1220, 22, 24, 26, 28,
0:24:12 > 0:24:1530, 32...
0:24:15 > 0:24:18£32. Nearer to me, at £32.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20In the blue, at 32. Anybody else.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25£32 for the pill machine. At 32. The hammer's coming down for 32, then.
0:24:25 > 0:24:2832 is eight shy of 40. That's minus £38.
0:24:28 > 0:24:3138, 48, you're minus 53 overall.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35So your tortoiseshell has got to do really rather well, hasn't it?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- How do you feel about that? - Shall we just run away now?
0:24:38 > 0:24:44Lot 74A is this little pink purse, 74A.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And I've got some interest in this too.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm straight in at £50.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51A little pink purse at £50?
0:24:51 > 0:24:55£50 with me. 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80...
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Still with me at £80.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00At £80 for the purse.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Fresh bidding, 85. 90...
0:25:02 > 0:25:0795, 100... It's £100. With me at £100, this little purse at £100.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Anybody else want to come in?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13£100 for the purse, then.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- It sells for 100, then. - Well done, darling. £100.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- You wiped your face. - I wiped my face!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Just like you said, you'd wipe your face.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25But sadly, overall, you are minus £53.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Now, that could be a winning score, cos you don't know how the Reds got on.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32It could be a winning score. What are you going to do about the Bonus Buy?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Are you going to go with that beaker?- We'll leave it, then.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- Leave it this time. No offence. - We'll cut our losses.
0:25:37 > 0:25:38You're not going with the Bonus Buy.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44- Here comes the beaker. - Lot 77A is a WMF beaker, lot 77A.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47£10 there at £10, anybody else at £10?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Oh, dear.- £10. Nobody else?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- The hammer's coming down for 10. - Well done, team.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You did the right thing there.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59Minus £22 you would've been had you gone for it,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00but you parked it, anyway.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- So, overall, it's minus £53, OK? - Could be worse.- Which is not too bad. It could've been a lot worse.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09And who knows? That could be the winning score. Don't tell the Reds a thing.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12But alas, not a winning score,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15since remember the Reds made a loss of only £22.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Coming up, two more teams hit the Ardingly trail.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Speaking of which, I'm making tracks to somewhere fit for a king.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Leeds Castle, here, is nowhere near Leeds.
0:26:38 > 0:26:45It's actually quite close to Maidstone. And it was built in 1119.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51Over the years, successive kings gave this bijou country pad
0:26:51 > 0:26:54to their respective queens,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57and it became known as the Lady's castle.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03How appropriate, therefore, that the last owner just happened to be a Lady.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Look out.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07GEESE HONK
0:27:07 > 0:27:13Lady Bailey was a wealthy Anglo-American heiress who liked to party.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19Looking for a swish country retreat to hold her weekend soirees, she stumbled across Leeds Castle,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23fell in love with it and bought it, in 1926,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27for the then princely sum of £180,000.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33She both gutted and rebuilt parts of the castle
0:27:33 > 0:27:40with a view to creating spaces where she could practise the consummate art of hospitality.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Ha! And what a place to wallow.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49We've got terribly blase these days about luxury bathrooms
0:27:49 > 0:27:53but I tell you, in the 1920s, if you actually had a bathroom,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55it was a considerable achievement
0:27:55 > 0:27:59and the number of people who would've had a bathroom like this,
0:27:59 > 0:28:06entirely lined with solid slabs of Russian striated onyx,
0:28:06 > 0:28:12this lovely brown and cream stripey stone that goes all round this space,
0:28:12 > 0:28:19the fact that you've got a semi-sunken bath with matching stone lip and surround,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23and instead of having to scrabble around for the plughole,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27this bath has got the waste fitting attached to a lever
0:28:27 > 0:28:31which would open the waste and out would go the water.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Right next door to the bathroom, we've got the ultimate feminine place
0:28:36 > 0:28:41but stylistically, this room looks as if it's been transplanted
0:28:41 > 0:28:43from 18th-century France.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46So what's the purpose of this space?
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Why were all these high-quality French fittings fitted up here?
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Well, these glazed doors do look rather like library bookcase doors, don't they?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Containing books? Oh, no.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04Not a library for books, but a library for clothes and shoes.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Imelda Marcos, eat your heart out,
0:29:06 > 0:29:12because Lady Bailey was collecting shoes years before you.
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Meanwhile, back at Ardingly Fair, it's a race against the clock for our next two teams.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21But will their items perform well later, at the auction?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Today we've got the gorgeous girls versus the lovable lads.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- For the Reds, we've got Becky and Georgina, sisters.- Hiya.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- And Bramwell and Stuart, best mates, for the Blues.- Indeed.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36"Indeed," he says! Now, Becky, you're a dancer.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39What are the highlights of your career so far?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42I'd say, probably, I've danced with the English Youth Ballet
0:29:42 > 0:29:46when I was younger, so that was a good experience.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50And probably getting my teaching qualifications so I'm able to teach dance to children.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52And are you interested in antiques?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Oh, yeah. We both love antiques, don't we?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Always loved them. - We're hopefully looking for some nice silver or something.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- A nice piece of jewellery maybe. - Georgina, what do you do, darling?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I'm still at college, studying childcare,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06so love children, love working with them.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09So about to finish that and hopefully be a nanny when I'm older.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11You've got a travel bug too, haven't you?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yes, I have. I love travelling. I love finding new places,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- so going to Australia this year. - Yeah.- Saving up.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- You're going with your sister?- Yeah. - Ah, right, it's a duo.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25You really are a tight team, aren't you? I think these boys had better watch out.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Now, Bramwell.- Hi.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Are you a collector of anything in particular, Bramwell?- Yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I'm a great big fan of Star Wars. It's my love.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I've loved it all my life. I used to collect when I was younger.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40And unfortunately, a few years back, I sold it all off
0:30:40 > 0:30:43and now I'm trying to rekindle my youth
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and I buy Star Wars vintage figures,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50send them off, get them authenticated and try and make a bit of money.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Oh, do you? So there's money to be made out of this.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55So, Stuart, you're musical too?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58You could say that, yeah.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Myself and a few friends, we started a boy band back in the sort of late '90s,
0:31:03 > 0:31:05which started off as a bit of a joke
0:31:05 > 0:31:08but we ended up progressing and touring up and down the country.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- What was your band called? - It was Four Sure.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Four Sure. That's a very good name. - Not Sure now, really!
0:31:14 > 0:31:17You're not sure that it was Four Sure, but you did it anyway.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18We had a great time.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23- We were out there touring for about two, three years, by the time we got out of the studio.- Really?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27I understand you also organise great parties.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33Last year, myself and Bramwell decided to celebrate our 32nd and 33rd birthdays
0:31:33 > 0:31:37with a big kids' party for us all, all of our friends, at one of my bars
0:31:37 > 0:31:42and it was our take on what we used to do as young children, shall we say,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45so we had musical chairs, musical statues, Simon says,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47dancing competitions and everything.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49We don't want you to be too grown-up today,
0:31:49 > 0:31:53cos the grown-up moment now is the £300 moment.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Ready, girls?- Yeah. - Look at these expectant faces here.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58£300 apiece. There you go, boys.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03You know the rules, your experts await and off you go. And very, very, very good luck.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06- Come on. - Go.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Let's go.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Have you got any nice wee kind of quirky silver pieces here?
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We have. What about a christening mug? 40 quid.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19OK. Could you do it for 20?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Listen, I can do it for 35 quid.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27And if you can't get a profit on it, I'll buy it back off you for 32.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33- He's got the patter, hasn't he? - Honestly, it does scrap at £32.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35OK.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37So you're paying £3 over scrap.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42But if it's getting sold at auction, we've got to think of buyers' premium and passing on stuff.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47See these girls - these girls are wonderful girls
0:32:47 > 0:32:51and they've come hundreds of miles to be the winners of Bargain Hunt.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Their beauty overwhelms me.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57I feel I must take them away from you! Pleased to meet you.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Can you not do it for 25 quid?
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- After all that... - Oh, go on. Girls. Girls.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- You have to now. Come on.- 25. 25.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I tell you what... £30, you bought it and that's a good deal.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- TIM:- That was impressive, girls. First stall, first item and all in ten minutes.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Look at that set.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22A lovely big piece of tortoiseshell there with no cracks, no damage.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25That is lovely. Nice initials there.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31- What can it actually be used for? - Put your rings in there.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Jewellery box. Necklaces and stuff.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Yeah. I think, probably, it would have had a necklace in there once.
0:33:36 > 0:33:42- Hallmarked on the hinges. - Auction estimate? - Auction estimate 100-150.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- 220 is too high. Let's keep looking. - OK.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Keep looking.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Mmm. There's plenty of looking going on, but not a lot of buying.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Keep an eye on the clock, guys. Before you know it, you'll have run out of time.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57I like this.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03Now, this...that's unusual. It's supposed to be one of those...curling stones.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04That's fantastic.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- It's a little inkwell.- Yeah.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10But I can see that at £30-£40 maybe doing quite well.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13He wants 35 for it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19- I need you to try and get it down to around... I'm thinking £15, £20.- OK.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25With Bramwell left to negotiate, they get the price down to £18.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Right, guys, pick up the pace.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Take my word for it - 25 minutes to find two items isn't long.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34What is it? Just a pendant?
0:34:34 > 0:34:42It's a locket and you would have been able to put a photograph of your loved one in there.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- It has the lovely detail of seed pearls.- Yeah.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- And I like seed pearls, but that's a personal thing.- Yeah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50Can you tell me what you think?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52I mean, it's really pretty.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You're not going to see something like this anywhere.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I love the thought that you could put a picture in it.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Yeah, cos you don't often see an open locket.- No. I've never seen one.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- OK.- I love lockets and that is a different locket.- Yeah.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The girls said they wanted some jewellery and the pendant was theirs for £70.
0:35:08 > 0:35:14So our Red team is sitting pretty with two items bagged and £200 left.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I love the handle of this magnifier.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20That's all ivory. Isn't that lovely? Beautifully carved.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Let's just have a look. - And this is gilt?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Yeah. This is gilt metal.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30- And this...different colour.- I am a bit concerned. Yeah. Absolutely.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34I don't think that those two are the same. It looks slightly made up.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Very high price.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- I'll give you a good deal on it.- OK.
0:35:38 > 0:35:4055. It is a nice thing.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- What auction price? - I quite like that.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- I think that's quite nice quality. - Yeah.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- But...- We need to get the price down so we can sell at auction.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51I like the sort of flowering head around.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54He's not interested in the item. He doesn't care about anything.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56All he wants to do is make a profit.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58That might be the name of the game,
0:35:58 > 0:36:03but Bramwell seems hell-bent on getting the biggest reductions possible.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06With 15 minutes left on the clock and only one item bought,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09the Blues have got some serious work to do.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Over in the Red camp, it looks like their work is almost done.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Well, it's all there. We have the teapot.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Yeah.- We have the sugar.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23We have the cream and we have two little cups and saucers on a tray.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Oh, it's lovely.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Now, we have these little scenes on here.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32A young swain serenading his beautiful maiden.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36But when we look at the back stamp here,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40we see that it's made by Limoges, which was a good factory,
0:36:40 > 0:36:43so we've got a wee bit of quality there, girls.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44- That's good.- A wee bit of quality.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Now, it's not early.
0:36:46 > 0:36:52It's probably from the 1950s, '60s and it is a traditional thing,
0:36:52 > 0:37:00- but that's not going to detract from its charm.- Yeah. Definitely.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Let's go and have a wee cup of tea.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- I think we deserve it. - Yes.- Definitely.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Happy with the price at £15, the Reds are done and dusted.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15As the Reds stroll back, it's panic stations for the Blues.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Catherine has really got her work cut out.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22There's just ten minutes remaining and still two items to buy.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25It's kind of vintage. I like the motif on the front and it's hallmarked inside.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- It looks in quite good quality. - Is that engraved in?
0:37:28 > 0:37:34No. We've got some interlaced initials, which has actually been put on to the top of the box.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I've got the lady down to 160.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39She said she's paid more than that at auction for them.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We're running out of time.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- We're running out of time. Do you like it?- I like it. I'm in.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- How much did you say?- 160.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50160. I can see it in auction at sort of 100-150.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- OK. We're in trouble, then. - I think it's got character.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- Right. Come on. Let's decide. - I'm still soul-destroyed. Let's go.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Yeah?- 160.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- OK.- Have another go at her, Brammy. See what you can get.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04A little bit more. A little bit more.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Cor, that Bramwell isn't one to give up.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10He always has to get the price down just a little bit more, and he did.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15He made a massive saving of one whole pound!
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Do I sense some tension in the air here?
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Oh, you do.- We've had a slight malfunction on our buying.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, how many pieces have you bought?
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- Two.- Two. Two?! - And we had one slip through our fingers.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31You've only got six minutes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Can you help us?- What are you doing here, hanging about?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36You're our Obi-Wan. We need you.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38You need me? You need HER.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- That's what. You need somebody. - We need help!
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- We need help. - Then you'd better get on with it.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Time is just running away from the Blues.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Their frantic searching doesn't appear to have been successful
0:38:49 > 0:38:52and now they've just one minute to buy their last item.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54What are they going to do?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56We're going to go back and get the thingy.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59To me and you, that's the magnifying glass.
0:38:59 > 0:39:00Five.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Four.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Three.- Come on!
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Two. - I'm worried. I'm really worried.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- One.- What have you done? - We've bought it for £47.50.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13- Time's up. - Well done, anyway.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Well done, guys. - I really think we need a cup of tea.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- Yeah. Let's go and get one. - Or something a little bit stronger, maybe.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Phew. That was frantic.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Talk about cutting it fine.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:39:26 > 0:39:31With the stallholder mesmerised, they managed to get a tenner off.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32£30 paid.
0:39:32 > 0:39:37The locket caught their eye and so did the price at £70.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44The Limoges tea set was right up their street, at £15.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- So, girls, was that good or was it good?- Yeah.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Great.- We had great fun, didn't we?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Well, there we go. I'm glad you did.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Now, which is your favourite piece, Becky?
0:39:55 > 0:40:01- I think the locket with the pearls. - What about you, Georgina?
0:40:01 > 0:40:06I'd say the silver christening cup. It's different and hopefully it'll make the most profit.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Will that make the most profit?
0:40:08 > 0:40:10- I really hope it does. - I think so, as well.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12You're going to go with your sister?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14I think so. Fingers crossed on that one.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16You spent £115. Not a lot.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I'd like to have £185 of leftover lolly to Anita.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25- So what was it like, Anita, operating with the young ones? - We had a wonderful time.
0:40:25 > 0:40:32We had a marvellous girlie day shopping and generally having a good old time to ourselves.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Well, that was lovely. So what are you going to do with all that money, then?
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Well, I've got my eye on a little piece of bling which I think might
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- bring an even bigger smile on the girls' faces.- If that's possible.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Anyway, Anita, you're just a great big kid yourself, so off you go and good luck.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58After half an hour of knocking stallholders down,
0:40:58 > 0:41:02the Blues finally managed to agree on a price
0:41:02 > 0:41:04and bought their first item, for £18.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09After much deliberation, Catherine and Stuart overruled Bramwell
0:41:09 > 0:41:13and bought the tortoiseshell case for £159.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Even with seconds to go, Bramwell was determined
0:41:17 > 0:41:20to get the magnifying glass a little bit cheaper.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24He ran out of time, though, and had to settle with paying £47.50.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Cor, what a scramble it is with you lot!
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- We went pretty close to the wire. - Half a second to go!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- This is ridiculous. - We don't mess around.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36You had a good time, that's the main thing.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38So, Bram, which is your favourite piece?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40I like the quirky granite inkwell.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Do you? That's your favourite. What about you, Stuart?
0:41:43 > 0:41:47I like the tortoiseshell jewellery box. I thought it was the classiest item.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- So that's your favourite?- Yeah. - Which piece will bring the biggest profit, do you think?
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- I think the...- Tortoiseshell.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- It's going to fly out. - The tortoiseshell?- Yeah.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00You're agreed on the tortoiseshell for your prediction of most profit.
0:42:00 > 0:42:06OK. Fine. You spent £224.50 which is a magnificent effort, I have to say.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Oddball number but I'll have £75.50's worth of leftover lolly
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- for Catherine to find a bonus buy. - Thank you.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Are you still with us? Cos you must be exhausted after all that.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Well, these two are exhausting.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20We've had a lot of fun, but I am really tired.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- Are you strong enough to find something?- I don't think so, but I'll give it a go.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- Dig deep.- Wish me luck. - I will. Good luck, Catherine.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38We've come to Chiswick Auctions in West London today.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40It's a joy to be with our auctioneer, William Rice.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Welcome, Tim.- Thank you.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45The teams, then, Becky and Georgina, the Reds,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47first up, they've got this little christening mug,
0:42:47 > 0:42:51which I think is suffering from what I call the Brillo Pad school of cleaning.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54It isn't terribly well polished and it's a bit plain.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Sometimes they sort of have rib decoration round them
0:42:57 > 0:43:01or just something to give it a bit of extra oomph.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03It's silver and silver price is good at the moment.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Quite. And they only paid £30. What's your estimate on it?
0:43:05 > 0:43:08I think we've put 40-60 on it, actually.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Brilliant. OK. Well, that would be very nice to kick off with.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Next is the pendant locket.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Nine-carat gold hallmark. Real seed pearls.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18I think it's quite sweet.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21It's in good condition too, which is important.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24- It's ready for something to go inside.- Ready to go.- Absolutely.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- How much, then, do you think? - 50 plus.- 50 plus. £70 was paid.
0:43:28 > 0:43:29Gold and pearls together.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- What more could you want?- Well, quite. What more could a girl want?
0:43:33 > 0:43:37What about the little Limoges miniature set?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Well, it's not everybody's taste, it has to be said.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43- So how much, then, do you think? - Well, again, I think £50-£80.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Do you? £15 is all they paid for that.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Good. Well, we've done very well with some Limoges recently.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52- Good.- Maybe that will fly away. - Well, that's marvellous.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55- Potentially, there's a bit of profit...- Should be.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57..in all of these items, which is good.
0:43:57 > 0:44:03But you never know, things can go wrong, so let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08I found this little wee object absolutely irresistible.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10Aww!
0:44:10 > 0:44:13The girls love jewellery and I was looking for a big bit of bling.
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Do you like frogs, though?
0:44:15 > 0:44:19- I like sparkly ones. - Sparkly frogs, do you?
0:44:19 > 0:44:24- How much was it?- I paid £15. - 15?- That's good. Yeah.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26Look how they bucked up, the girls, on that.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- So, Georgina, what do you think? - Yeah. I like it. It's sweet.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32- It's different. You don't really see a brooch like that.- No.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35- I've never seen one like that! - You don't have to decide now.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38You'll decide after the sale of the first three items.
0:44:38 > 0:44:44But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's green brooch.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46I think it's rather fun.
0:44:46 > 0:44:51It isn't gold, obviously, and there's nothing precious about it metal-wise,
0:44:51 > 0:44:55but it's enamel and sort of little tiny chips of what look like diamonds.
0:44:55 > 0:45:01- Well, I think with a following wind, £20, £30.- OK. Fine. Well, Anita paid £15 and she's very canny.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- She should turn a profit on that. - I think so.
0:45:04 > 0:45:08Good. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Bramwell and Stuart.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Their first item is the little inkwell.
0:45:10 > 0:45:14Transfer decorated and it is what it is, really.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16- Yes.- Well, I think I'd put about £30, £40 on it.
0:45:16 > 0:45:19Well, that's brilliant. £18 paid.
0:45:19 > 0:45:20That's not so bad. Excellent.
0:45:20 > 0:45:25Next is the little tortoiseshell necklace box.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28I think that's a very nice thing. It's in good condition.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31Its silver-gilt hinges are hallmarked so we can date it.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35But it's just a really attractive box and tortoiseshell is always desirable,
0:45:35 > 0:45:39- especially if it's in good condition. - What do you think it's worth?
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I think £200.
0:45:41 > 0:45:47Do you? Well, £159 was paid with some trepidation. Let's hope it does well.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51And lastly in their purchases, is this little magnifying glass.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Now, do you think that handle's ivory or what?
0:45:53 > 0:45:58I don't think it is. No. I'm not quite sure what it is, actually, but ivory it isn't.
0:45:58 > 0:46:04Sometimes they make them out of old knives or old bits of cutlery. I don't think this one has been.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06I think it's always been a magnifying glass.
0:46:06 > 0:46:11Well, they paid another pretty keen price for this. £47.50 was paid for that magnifying glass.
0:46:11 > 0:46:13It ought to sell, I think,
0:46:13 > 0:46:16with a sort of estimate around the £30 mark.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17Round the £30 mark. Right.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20- 25-40.- So they may not do quite so well on that.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23I don't think anybody will go crazy about it.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26No. Well, just in case, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28- Are you ready for this, guys?- No.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29Here we are.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Look at these little beauties.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35They're miniature Toby jugs.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37- Really?- A Mr and a Mrs.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39- Which one am I? - You're the Mrs.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42- Of course.- Definitely.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Does that work about right?
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Let's have a closer look at these.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49- Oh, yeah. - Mine's got lipstick on there.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- Royal Worcester.- I like them.
0:46:52 > 0:46:58I paid £40 for them and I think we should make a bit of profit on these
0:46:58 > 0:47:00cos the book price is about £50, £60 each.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02- Nice jugs(!)- They're nice.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05On that note, I think we'll move on quickly
0:47:05 > 0:47:09and find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little bits of pottery.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11I don't think they're terribly good quality
0:47:11 > 0:47:15and Worcester is, after all, known for fundamentally really good things.
0:47:15 > 0:47:20I know what you mean, because the underglaze transferred mark
0:47:20 > 0:47:25is underneath a particularly odd-looking milky glaze.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30It just doesn't hang together terribly well and with the poor painting on top,
0:47:30 > 0:47:32it does make me slightly doubt them.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34I think you're right to be suspicious.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36But having said that, what are they worth?
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- £40.- Right.- Something like that. - Catherine paid £40.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43So anything more than 40 will show them a profit.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48- That's if they go with the bonus buy and nothing is certain in life.- No.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Anyway, we'll find out in the auction.
0:47:59 > 0:48:03- OK, girls, how are you feeling? - Good. Excited.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05- Quite nerve-racking, isn't it? - Yeah.- A bit.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Anyway, first lot up is the christening cup and here it comes.
0:48:08 > 0:48:12Lot 92A. A little christening mug there. What's it worth? £30 for it.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14£20 for a christening mug. 20.
0:48:14 > 0:48:1822. 24. 26. 28. 30.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20- 32. 34.- Yes!
0:48:20 > 0:48:2240. 45. Do you want 45?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24£45 nearer to me.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27- At 45. It's £45 for the silver.- 50.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30- 45 it is, then. - Well, done, girls. £45.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32You are plus £15.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Straight out. Yeah.
0:48:34 > 0:48:35Good start.
0:48:35 > 0:48:37So, your locket, Anita.
0:48:37 > 0:48:42Is it going to be so sweet on this?
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Lot 93A is a nine-carat gold pendant locket.
0:48:44 > 0:48:48Must be £30 of gold there. £20 to start me, then.
0:48:48 > 0:48:52Surely, for the little gold locket, for 20. Dear, oh, dear.
0:48:52 > 0:48:56£10, then. At 12.
0:48:56 > 0:48:5714.
0:48:57 > 0:48:5916. 18.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03£18. In the distance at £18. That's all I'm bid, at 18.
0:49:03 > 0:49:0520, fresh bidding.
0:49:05 > 0:49:0722. 24.
0:49:07 > 0:49:1126. 28. £28 to the lady. At 28.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14Anybody else want to come in, at £28?
0:49:14 > 0:49:18At 30, just in time. £30 to the gentleman, now. At £30.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Selling it for 30.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22Bad luck, Anita. £30.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24- That is so cheap.- Minus £40.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28- Which means, overall, you are minus £25.- We'll make it up.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31- Now, Limoges.- Ooh, we could.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33Cross everything. All right?
0:49:33 > 0:49:37Everybody hold hands. Hold hands.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Lot 94A is the Limoges tea set. Where shall we start this? £20.
0:49:40 > 0:49:46- 20 for the tea set. - Come on.- £10 I'm bid.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49At 10. 12. 14.
0:49:49 > 0:49:5320. Selling, then, for £20 only.
0:49:53 > 0:49:54At £20, that tea set.
0:49:54 > 0:49:56- £20 it is, then. - Bad luck, darling.
0:49:56 > 0:50:00- £20 is still a £5 profit. - Yeah.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03But the estimate wasn't particularly accurate, was it?
0:50:03 > 0:50:07- No. They got our hopes up. - You are overall, darlings, I'm afraid, minus £20. OK?- OK.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09You're minus £20 which is not bad.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12It could be a winning score. Are you going with the bonus buy?
0:50:12 > 0:50:15- Going to go with the froggies? - We are.- Yeah.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17- Risk £15?- Yeah. Might as well.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20- Yeah. Go on.- Yeah. We're going to do it.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23You're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27Lot 97A is the amusing yellow metal and green enamel brooch
0:50:27 > 0:50:30in the form of four frogs.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32Start me for £10 for the little brooch, then.
0:50:32 > 0:50:3510, I'm bid.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Anybody else? At 10. 12.
0:50:37 > 0:50:42They're appearing everywhere. At 12. 14. 16. 18. 20. 22.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53£32 in the bed. 34, there.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55£34, fresh bidder.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57At £34. Anybody else? The hammer's coming down.
0:50:57 > 0:51:0034 it is, then. 34.
0:51:00 > 0:51:06- Yes! Yes!- £34!
0:51:06 > 0:51:09£34 is plus £19.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- You're still minus £1. - Oh, no!
0:51:12 > 0:51:15The big thing now is not to reveal your big losses to the Blues.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18- We won't. We won't. - 50p each.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19Keep really quiet about that.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- We don't want them to know.- No.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23- But good fun, eh? - Yeah.- Loved it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:33Now, Stu, Stu, Bram, Bram, do you know how the Red Reds got on?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35- They did little eyes. - Looked a bit smug.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37A bit smug when they went past you?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40Don't like little eyes. Very unnerving.
0:51:40 > 0:51:41Is that what it is? Yeah.
0:51:41 > 0:51:46Anyway, first up, then, is the curling stone paperweight inkwell and here it comes. Och, aye!
0:51:46 > 0:51:50Lot 112A
0:51:50 > 0:51:54is an amusing pottery inkwell in the form of a curling stone.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56£20 to start me. £20 for it, surely.
0:51:56 > 0:51:57£10 for it, somebody.
0:51:57 > 0:52:0110. 10 all over the place. £10 there, sir.
0:52:01 > 0:52:0212.
0:52:02 > 0:52:0514. 16. £18, fresh bidding.
0:52:05 > 0:52:0720. At £20, then.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10I'm going to sell it for £20.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13- Well, done, Catherine. £2 profit, Catherine.- That's mean, isn't it?
0:52:13 > 0:52:15- A pound each. - A profit is a profit.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19Thank you. Now, next is going to be this necklace case.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21- All eyes on you. - We're all very nervous.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24- Tim looks worried. - Dude.- It's a dude?
0:52:24 > 0:52:28113A is the tortoiseshell box.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Start me for 100.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32£80 for the lot. 80 I'm bid. There, £80.
0:52:32 > 0:52:3785. 90. 95. 100. 110, fresh bidding.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39120. 130.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42140. 150.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44- Go on! - 160.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46160, there. At £160. At 160.
0:52:46 > 0:52:50Anybody else? 160 is the bid, then. 160.
0:52:50 > 0:52:52Yes. Well, done.
0:52:52 > 0:52:54You've made a profit of £1.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57- Told you it'd fly. - Super. Well, done.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Good lads. Good lads.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03OK. So, here comes the magnifying glass.
0:53:03 > 0:53:07114A is a little magnifying glass.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09114A.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Again, I've got some interest in this.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15I'm already bid £20. With me at £20. For the little magnifying glass. £20.
0:53:15 > 0:53:1822. 24. 26. 28.
0:53:18 > 0:53:2030. 32.
0:53:20 > 0:53:2234. 36. Still with me at £36.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Fresh bidding, 38.
0:53:24 > 0:53:2840. 45. 50.
0:53:28 > 0:53:3155. 60. Still with me at £60.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Anybody else want to come in?
0:53:32 > 0:53:34At £60, it's on a left bid of £60.
0:53:34 > 0:53:3665.
0:53:36 > 0:53:3970. I'm afraid it's still with me at £70. That's £70 the bid.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42£70 is the bid, then. At 70.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46That's good. 70! That is something else, isn't it?
0:53:46 > 0:53:51- I do not understand that. - That's plus £22.50, right?
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Which means, overall, you are plus £25.50.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59What are you going to do about this bonus buy? You're £25.50 up. Right.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01You can park it or you can risk it.
0:54:01 > 0:54:06£40 you're putting at risk.
0:54:06 > 0:54:07Toby jugs.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10- Are you with it or not?- Yes. Yes.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12We're going with the bonus buy.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14- Link arms. Link arms. - Link arms.- £20 to start me.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16Anybody? 20, I'm bid.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20Straight in at £20. And two I'll take. At £20. 22.
0:54:20 > 0:54:2524. 26. 28. 30. 32. 34.
0:54:25 > 0:54:2736. 38.
0:54:27 > 0:54:3040. 45.
0:54:30 > 0:54:3245 with the lady. 50 now.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34£50 with the gentleman.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36At £50. Anybody else want to come in?
0:54:36 > 0:54:3950. That's £50 with the gentleman in the distance. At £50.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41I'm selling them, then. £50 they go.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44- 50.- £50 plus £10. Easy, isn't it?
0:54:44 > 0:54:46- Well, done.- You are... Whoops!
0:54:47 > 0:54:51..plus £35.50, overall. Right?
0:54:51 > 0:54:55That is...remarkable.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56Bargain Hunting at its best.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58- £35.50. Yes?- Yes.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01- Don't tell the Reds a thing. - I won't. I've got to calm down.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09Well, what an exciting programme we've had today, haven't we?
0:55:09 > 0:55:13- So have we Blues and Reds been communicating at all? No?- No.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16No conversation so you really don't know where you're up to.
0:55:16 > 0:55:21- No.- And you're standing on the edge, longing to know who the runner-up is and who the winners are.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24- Yes?- Yes.
0:55:24 > 0:55:29Well, I have to tell you that sadly, the runners-up today are the Reds.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Tricked!
0:55:34 > 0:55:36- You girls, we had such fun, didn't we?- We did.
0:55:36 > 0:55:42I mean, you were well and truly down the plughole and then clawed it back with your froggy brooch.
0:55:42 > 0:55:48I'm afraid your overall score is only minus £1. I mean, how tough is that?
0:55:48 > 0:55:52- To get to the breaking even, at least. But it was great fun, girls, wasn't it?- Yes. It was.
0:55:52 > 0:55:57And you've been a great team. But the victors, today - the Blues.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Profit on every single lot.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02That's an achievement, a considerable achievement.
0:56:02 > 0:56:06You went with the bonus buy. You got a tenner off the bonus buy too, so congratulations.
0:56:06 > 0:56:12- It's down to our expert. - And £35.50 is what you're going to walk off with.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15- There's your £35. There's your 50.- You get that.
0:56:15 > 0:56:19Which is great. And quite a handful for you to handle, Catherine.
0:56:19 > 0:56:23- What can I say?- You have been fantastic. You have been fantastic.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26- Worth it. Definitely worth it. - You've made a profit on every single lot.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30- Anyway, great show. Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting. Yes? - Yes!
