0:00:02 > 0:00:05Look at that. Isn't it lovely? Actually, completely useless!
0:00:05 > 0:00:10Let's hope that today's teams can spot the riches from the schmutter.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's go bargain-hunting, yeah?
0:00:39 > 0:00:44We're at Ardingly's world-famous antiques and collectors fair.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47There are literally thousands of objects here for our teams
0:00:47 > 0:00:49to choose, which is quite a challenge,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54for them to find three items in only an hour to sell off at auction.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00With only one hour and £300 to do it, they're going to need all the help they can get
0:01:00 > 0:01:06from experts Anita Manning and Catherine Southon.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And they're going to have to get their skates on, because today,
0:01:09 > 0:01:10we have not two, but four teams.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15On the Red side, we've got newlyweds Emma and Matt.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Thank you.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24And the absolute contrary on the Blues, a married couple for 32 years, Mark and Iris.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Lovely to see you. Now, Emma, how did you two meet, darling?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32We met in our current jobs.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Across the crowded office, I saw Matt and I thought, "Yep, that's...what I'd like to see,"
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Ohh! And everything went on very nicely from then on.- It did.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And here we are, married.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43What sort of office were you in?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46In travel, in a travel company, yeah.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- Brilliant.- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50And what interests have you got in antiques, Matt?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I'm interested in archaeological and old...
0:01:53 > 0:01:59I'm particularly interested in the Roman period but anything generally that is old where I can just have
0:01:59 > 0:02:04my mind racing about what this item was used for or how people lived back in the day.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09That's your interest, anyway. You're not going to go for that stuff today on Bargain Hunt, I hope!
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- Absolutely not.- Avoid the 2000-year-old stuff and tend to go for the 100-year-old stuff.- Yes!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I think we'll have more choice that way today.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Then of course you've always got your expert.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Now for the Blues. Mark, how did you two meet?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25We met when I was a young lad in the Air Training Corps.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- You're a good deal younger than your wife, aren't you?- A little.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Yes. 22 years younger than your wife.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- And proud of it.- And proud of it. - Dare to be different.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38You must have snatched this boy when he was in shorts, then!
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- What do you collect, Mark? - I like clocks and I like tinkering around with clocks.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I also like militaria.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And are you interested in collecting at all, Iris?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Yes, I love Moorcroft and Spode Italian, Copeland.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Gosh, she sounds experienced, doesn't she? Are you quaking in your boots, you two?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59No, we love a challenge, so it's game on.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I love that. The fighting talk. We're going to have fun today. Now, £300 apiece.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05There you go, £300.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08You know the rules, your experts await and off you.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11It's a big old place, Ardingly,
0:03:11 > 0:03:16and an hour is barely enough to do it justice, but them's the rules.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19You guys are in the travel industry.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- That's right.- Right, planes?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Yeah. - Trains?- Yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Automobiles maybe?- And boats.- Ah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Ah, I see.- The Cunard liner.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Can we have a wee look at it?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Sure. Now, you have a look.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35The Cunard liners...
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Cunard made the Lusitania and it was one of the luxury liners.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- I would say it's probably '20s, '30s.- OK.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- What I like about this is it's collectable!- It is.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50People like Cunard Line memorabilia.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Absolutely, yeah.- Although I see there is just a small...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- There's a wee bit of damage. - Some damage there.- Anything on the back? What's this?
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Framed and bought in Byres Road in Glasgow,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- which is just down the road from where I live!- Oh, right. OK.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Serendipity. - Yeah. I actually quite like this.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm worried by the damage, that it might reduce the value at auction.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18We have to take consideration for the damage.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19What would be...?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24It's a lovely thing. I'm sure it's worth about £40, isn't it, in the real world.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29Oh, I wouldn't take 40, no, cos obviously you have the damage, so I'd be looking for a lot less than that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Some people like the damage. Restorers don't buy perfect stuff.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38- They like it to be damaged.- Right. To be honest with you, I'm probably more looking about £15 for that item.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Could somebody call the police and get this lady arrested?
0:04:42 > 0:04:47No, I suppose we could take £25. How's that?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Er, no. 15 is my last offer.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Can you make it 20? If you can make it 20, we've got a deal.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- OK, all right, we've got a deal, then.- OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Blimey, Emma! There's no messing with you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Only ten minutes gone, but the Blues are already struggling.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Iris, what have you got here? - A lovely piece of Moorcroft.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I have a jar at home, the same pattern, like a ginger jar.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15You said you loved Moorcroft, didn't you, right from the start?
0:05:15 > 0:05:22Yes, and it's exactly the same colouring. The only thing is it's £195, but it's an old one, signed.
0:05:22 > 0:05:29Right, OK. Let's just have a look at it. So this is one that's actually done by the son,
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Walter Moorcroft. It's in lovely condition, I must admit.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37There's no real chips or cracks or damage to that.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38What's your feeling?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Um, I must admit, when I saw the price, I was a bit...
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I thought it was a bit hefty.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49What would you, as a lover of Moorcroft, pay for that at auction?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51At auction, I'd go up to...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53..£160.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- That is what you would pay?- Mmm.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- You need to get that below £160. - Yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03With Iris's heart set on the Moorcroft pansies,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07she managed to get the plate for £140, but time is ticking on.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Over 20 minutes gone now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You're looking for something functional.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15What about a croquet set?!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Ah, that's really unusual, that one.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's quite sweet. It's a children's croquet set.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Yeah.- People like miniature things.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- Yeah. What year is this?- That looks from about the 1940s or '50s.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33It's in the original box, the box is in good condition.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- What price is it? - 25.- 25.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38It's not too bad. It's not too bad.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39If you can get a little off,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I think we've got a good chance. - OK.- Do you think you could go for it?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Absolutely. - On you go, Emma.- OK, let's go.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Emma may be playing around with the croquet set,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52but she certainly isn't playing around with the bargaining today.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55£18 paid and two items bought so far.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00But as we approach the halfway mark, the Blues are yet to find their stride.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03We've pretty much exhausted this room, haven't we?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Yes. That's nice.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08It's a lovely Art Nouveau piece.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09£90. WMF, which is great.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Oh, it's got name down here. - Yes, La Madeleine.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's the name of the ship, presumably.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Yes. It's lovely, isn't it?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It is nice. German factory.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I like the Art Nouveau connection.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Lovely Art Nouveau, these sort of whiplash curves around.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Quite badly scratched, though, isn't it?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Too badly, do you think?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Mmm...badly enough to try and get the price down a bit more, I think.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Shall I try?- Yes.- OK.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Let me have a word. Excuse me.- Hello.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Hello there. I believe you've spoken to my team about this.- Yes, I have.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I'm a bit concerned, because it hasn't got WMF stamped on the back.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51With that in mind, and also with the fact that it is quite badly scratched,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I'm wondering if we can squeeze you down a little bit more.
0:07:54 > 0:07:5685 would be the best.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59How about 80 for my lovely team?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01As it's your lovely team, OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- 80's fine. - What do you think about that?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- That's brilliant. Thank you very much.- Shall we give it a go?- Yes.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Thank you very much.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It's a nice thing, but it's damaged, so let's leave it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17It's damaged, yes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22With less than 15 minutes left, the Blues take stock of their whopping £220 spending spree.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28We've spent a lot, haven't we? Yes. Isn't it lovely?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Time for a change of scenery.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Shall we head over there quickly? Do you want to go that way?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- No, no, just go. - Come on, team!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I shall need a gin and tonic!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What I want is a croquet set.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Sorry, Mark, the croquet set's already gone. The Reds have bought it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52And with less than ten minutes left, I think the Reds may have found their killer item.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Are these microscopes? - How much are your microscopes?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58180, 120.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00120? And...?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- 85.- 85.- I really like these.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- You like these?- Yeah, I really do.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06H. Crouch, London.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08If we get the maker's name, that's good.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12We're looking at condition and we're looking at quality.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I also like the fact that we have...
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- The box.- We have the box here, so we've got a complete item.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's £120.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- OK.- Now, we're not too far away.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Shall we go in about 80? Why not? You know...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Go in a wee bit lower.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- A bit lower, OK.- Well, give yourself room for negotiation.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33To go up to 80-plus.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36But the stallholder was firm.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41He wouldn't sell his microscope for less than £110.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Iris, come and have a little look.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53What do you think to this? Do you know what it is?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- It's a buckle.- A buckle. Absolutely.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- Belt buckle.- Yes.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Art Deco,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02so we're thinking 1930s, semi-precious stones here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08I love the colour and I love the design, and I just think it screams Art Deco.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- I like the way the stones are cut on this edge.- Yeah, it's like faceted, the way it's been cut.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17She's asking £38, which is fairly reasonable.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19If we can get this right down -
0:10:19 > 0:10:25sort of £10, £15, £20 maybe - I think we can make a profit on that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah, go on, let's have it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah? Can I leave it to you?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Can I leave it in your hands to try and see if you can...
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- I'm sure I can get a deal. - ..get a cheeky deal on it? - Yeah, I'm sure I can.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Mark bought the belt buckle for a cheeky £15.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Not quite the object they were looking for, but they only had a few minutes to spare.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Mmm, very tasty.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Your time's up, Doris.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Let's check out what the Red team's bought, right?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57The commemorative picture
0:10:57 > 0:11:01certainly floated Emma's boat to the tune of £20.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They went cock-a-hoop for the croquet set at just £18.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Toys always make money.- Yeah. - Especially old ones.
0:11:13 > 0:11:21And the last of the big spenders forked out £110 for the microscope.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I think that's a cracker, and Emma picked it out,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26so I'm hoping we'll do very well.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Did you have a great time doing that shopping?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Brilliant.- Fantastic. - It's quite an experience, isn't it? - It is.- Oh, absolutely.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34But such a short time, yeah?
0:11:34 > 0:11:39It is, but hopefully we've got the three items that are going to maximise our profit at auction.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Which will bring you the biggest profit?
0:11:41 > 0:11:47Well, we're hoping, because it's a Henry Crouch microscope, it's going to come in at maximum value.
0:11:47 > 0:11:54- And you agree with that? - Definitely, yeah.- Oh, well, this microscope had better do well.
0:11:54 > 0:12:01- Fingers crossed.- £148 you spent. I'd like £152 of leftover lolly for the Bonus Buy, going to Anita Manning.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Gosh, how exciting, Anita.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Well, they were looking for something functional,
0:12:07 > 0:12:14they were, however, seduced by the decorative and the playful.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- Easily done.- So I'm going to get something functional for them.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Functional, but fun.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24That's the two Fs, isn't it?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27If I can spell correctly! OK, Anita.
0:12:27 > 0:12:35Off you go! Come back with the two Fs while we go and trot off and see what the Blues bought.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38The Blues weren't afraid to splash the cash either,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41starting with this Moorcroft plate for £140.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43And I'm slightly nervous.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Then another £80 slipped away for this Art Nouveau dish.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Catherine saved the day
0:12:52 > 0:12:57when she found this Art Deco belt buckle for £15.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- Did you have a great time?- Yes.- We had a wonderful time, thank you.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Yes, you are something else, aren't you, you two?
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- Which is your favourite bit, Iris? - The Moorcroft for me.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- What's your favourite, Mark? - Probably the WMF.- WMF. Favourites.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- I think the buckle.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- The buckle. - I think the buckle as well.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22OK, you spent £235, which is quite magnificent.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I want £65 of leftover lolly.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- You don't like handing that over, Iris, do you? Here comes the £65, Catherine.- Thank you.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30How do you feel about that?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Well, I think we bought quite girly things, didn't we?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Quite pretty things.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So I'm going to buy something for Mark...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- Something butch? - Well, don't know about butch, but maybe something slightly masculine.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Break with the habit of a lifetime, eh?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- I will, absolutely. Forget the girly. I'm off. - Good luck, Catherine.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55William Rouse is our auctioneer today at the Chiswick Auction Rooms in West London.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Lovely to be here, William. - Pleasure to have you.- Thank you.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Now, the Reds, Emma and Matt, their first item is this Lusitania plaque.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Now, some of these things can be worth money, can't they?- Absolutely.
0:14:06 > 0:14:12There's a terrific amount of interest in nautical things of that sort.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I was quite bullish with this, actually.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I've put around £80 estimate on it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Have you really? £20 they paid. - Well, it's a shame it's slightly damaged. That doesn't help.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24But apart from that, I think it's quite a commercial image.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27On that happy note, let's move on to the croquet set.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Nicely boxed.- Yep. Good condition box too, which is important.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Good. What do you think it's worth? - Probably £30-£40.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36OK, fine. £18 paid.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- So, between those two items, they could be more than doubling their money so far.- Absolutely.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43What about the microscope, though?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48They seem to, if anything, have gone down in value, and this particular example,
0:14:48 > 0:14:50there's more than one maker involved in this box,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54so I think the whole thing is perhaps a bit cobbled together.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- A bit of a combination. - We've put about £70-plus on it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:04OK, well, £110 they paid, so that could wipe out whatever profit they've made on the other two items,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07so they could need their Bonus Buy, and let's go and have a look at it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Surprise us. Oh, wow!
0:15:11 > 0:15:16- That's interesting. - I'm not sure if it's a plumbing object or a kitchen appliance.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20It's a Royal Doulton whisky tap.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25Doulton, as well as making wonderful decorative objects,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29made this sort of utilitarian thing as well, and people do collect that type of thing.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And I think it's an interesting-looking object as well.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It is. And how much was that?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38I paid £25 for it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Oh, OK.- OK. And what sort of profit do you think might be had on this?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Well, there will be collectors for that type of thing, and I think it could maybe do round about £30.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Do you want to see if it's something that appeals to you? - It is very interesting.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58So we've got a prediction here of a relatively modest profit, right?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00But you don't have to pick it now.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You can decide after the sale of the first three items,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07but for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's tap.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Not the most useful of objects, or the most decorative of objects.
0:16:11 > 0:16:17No. I mean, people like Doulton, but really for their artistic wares rather than the kind of
0:16:17 > 0:16:20utility stuff, which is what this is all about.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24That's what Doulton started off doing. Making tiles and that sort of thing.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25And drain pipes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Not the most obviously commercial object that you could imagine.- No.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- £30. Something like that.- £30, OK.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34£25 was paid by Anita Manning. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Now for the Blues.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39First up is their Moorcroft plate.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It's one of the more popular patterns.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46It's not a specially early one, it's not one of the modern copies,
0:16:46 > 0:16:51so the best thing you can say about it is it's not damaged and there's always a market for them.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54We ended up putting about sort of £80 on it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Well, they paid £140, so that's a pretty...- Well, you never know.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03What about the WMF silvered metal dish?
0:17:03 > 0:17:09Not great condition. Been a bit scratched and got at by somebody, but there's always a market for WMF.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13It's got the look, for me anyway, but will it make £80, do you think?
0:17:13 > 0:17:19I'm afraid my estimate is a bit lower than that, around the 40-60, I think largely due to the condition, really.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Well, we'll have to hope for the best.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25And lastly is the chunky belt buckle. That's a monster, isn't it?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- I don't know quite what to say about it, really!- It's green.- It is green.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Lovely colour, green.- Yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- And glass.- And glass.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Not going to have a huge estimate on it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41- I think it'll be £30 or £40, really. - They'll be happy with that, cos they only paid £15.- Great.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Bit of a mixed bag.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48Really, it's the condition element of the WMF which will probably determine whether they make
0:17:48 > 0:17:51a profit on these items or not, in which case, they may well need
0:17:51 > 0:17:54their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, I wanted to buy something for Mark, because, Iris,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59we bought quite a lot of things for you,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02and poor Mark didn't really get much of a say in it.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05So I thought maybe silver or treen...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Mm-hmm.- ..and I bought you these. - Oh, wow.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Some little silver...I think, sugar tongs.- They're lovely.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- In the form of a wishbone. Aren't they great?- Yeah, nice. - Really unusual.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Silver, hallmarked 1910.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20There's always fun, those things, you use can them
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- for ice cubes if you don't have lump sugar.- Absolutely.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25The big question is, how much?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26I paid 15.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Like it. Yeah. I'm impressed. - Got to be a profit.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- That was a bargain. - Well done, Catherine.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33You don't decide right now, you decide later,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36but for the benefit of the viewers at home,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little nips.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I don't like that! - Are you allowed to say that?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44LAUGHTER
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I like that! Well done.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think this is rather a nice thing, and there's plenty of people
0:18:51 > 0:18:55who do collect sugar nips and it's an interesting variety on a theme.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Yeah, and it's solid silver, which is good. 1910.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Nice clear hallmark.- How much, then?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05- £40.- Gosh, that would be marvellous. £15, Catherine paid for that. - I'm sure we can do better.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07That's a bargain, isn't it?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Yeah, it is. - Good. See you on the rostrum.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Ems, Matt, how are you feeling, kids?
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, looking forward to it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Confident, fantastic...- Just hoping our items are going to do well.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30First up, then, is the Lusitania commemorative, and here it is.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Good thing, this. Start me for £40 for it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37£30 for it, then. Surely for 30... At £30. £20, then. £20 I'm bid here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Finally, at £20 now, and they're all coming to life now.
0:19:42 > 0:19:4732...34...36...38...40...
0:19:47 > 0:19:5045? Still cheap for 45. At £45...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I can't believe it. 45.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Half price, then. At £45.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It goes for 45, then.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Well done, Anita. - A good enough start.- Excellent.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03£25 is very good. You've doubled your money there. That's great.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Excellent!- Now, croquet to come.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Bit of fun, this.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Start me for £20 for the croquet set.
0:20:10 > 0:20:1220 I'm bid. A maiden bid at £20, there at 20. And 2 I'll take.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14£20 for that maiden bid at 20.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19It can be sold at £20. 22...24...26...
0:20:19 > 0:20:2528? Anybody else? For £26, it's still cheap there for 26. At £26, then.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- 26 it is, then. - Fair enough.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30That's £8. That's very nice.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32You are plus £33.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- OK.- Now...the microscope.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Um...this could be...the black hole.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Make or break.- 134A, the microscope.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45£30 for the microscope. I'm bid straight off.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48At £30, and 5 I'll take. 35...
0:20:48 > 0:20:5140. And 5 anywhere? 45, thank you.
0:20:51 > 0:20:5345 by the flowers.
0:20:53 > 0:20:5750, anybody else? For £45. It's seems cheap for 45.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I can sell it. 45 it's going, then.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Minus £65.- We did so well on the first two items.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10That's two, so that means you are minus £32 overall. So what are we going to do about the whisky tap?
0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Yes, no?- No.- No?- No. - Let's leave it at a no.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22The Doulton Lambeth stoneware two-piece barrel spigot.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23£10 to start me.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Surely somebody for a £10 note.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27£10 I'm bid. Here at £10.
0:21:27 > 0:21:2912 anywhere? £10, the hammer's coming down.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3112, just in time. Thank you.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Relief! No...are you going to bid 14?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38No? All right, £12 I'm bid in the doorway, then. At £12.
0:21:38 > 0:21:4014, fresh bidding.
0:21:40 > 0:21:4216...18...
0:21:42 > 0:21:4420...
0:21:44 > 0:21:46In the doorway at £20, then.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47At 20 it goes.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I'm selling it for 20, then. At 20 it goes.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Good decision, team. £20, so it's minus £5 on that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Ah, well done, well done. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01- So overall, then, you got minus £32. - Excellent.- The big trick here is don't tell the Blues a thing, right?
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- Iris, Mark, how did the Reds get on? Do you know?- No idea. - You don't know how the Reds did?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- They looked extremely miserable on the way out.- Did they?- Yes. - Oh, good.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Anyway, here comes Walter Moorcroft at his finest.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Everything's crossed. - Fingers crossed.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23I have got a £40 left bid on it.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28And 45 in the room against commissions. At £45. And 50 there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:3355...60...65...70...5...80...
0:22:33 > 0:22:3685...90...
0:22:36 > 0:22:3895... 95 on the table here.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40At £95. 100, anybody else?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Make it round money.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45£95 then. The hammer's coming down.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47For £95 it is, then.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49£95, I'm afraid.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51You're minus £45 on that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But don't despair. Here comes your dish.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56WMF dish in the form of a dinghy.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58153A. Bit of interest in the lot straight off.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03I'm bid already £40 for this dish.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05With me at £40 for the WMF.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Come on!- And 5 I'll take. Anybody else want to come in?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It's a left bid at 40. 45, thank you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:1250 with me. 50 still on the book.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15£50 and 5, somebody else.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16For £50... Anybody else?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18£50 it is, then. Selling it for 50.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- What a miserable lot!- £50.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- That's minus £30. - Sorry, but they are!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- You're minus £75.- Not good.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- We need the belt buckle to... - It will.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32It's quite nice, but I don't think it's that nice.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It's an unusual belt buckle. £10 for it surely, somebody?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38For £10... £5, then?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Oh!- Thank you, I'm bid £5 for the buckle.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42£5. And 6, somebody.
0:23:42 > 0:23:446 I'm bid here. Good.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I can't believe this.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's a fantastic thing.- ..10, 12...
0:23:49 > 0:23:54£12 there. We have it at 12, and 14, somebody else? At £12, is that all?
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- At £12 it's going, then. £12, I'm selling it for 12.- £12.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Genuine white metal and glass.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Minus £3. That is minus £78.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06These estimates mean nothing.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- So, team, this has not been the best outing, has it?- Definitely not.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Are you going to go with the Bonus Buy, then?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yes, have to.- Definitely.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16OK. Here we go. It's the last hope.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20It's your last hope, Iris.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- These are fabulous.- Amusing pair of Edwardian silver tongs.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26£10, then, to start me. I thought so.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29£10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20...
0:24:29 > 0:24:31£20 there with the lady.
0:24:31 > 0:24:3222... Did I see somebody else?
0:24:32 > 0:24:3722 there now. 24, 26, 28, 30...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- 32, 34, 36...- You tell them, Iris.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43There at £36. With the lady at £36.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Anybody else want to come in?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47For £36, it's yours, madam. 36 it is.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Catherine, well done.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Super. £21 profit. That's excellent.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Which means, overall, you are now minus £57.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- That's not too bad, is it? - That could be a winning score.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- And don't tell the Reds. - Could've been worse. - Could've been a lot worse.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But still, no cigar, since the Reds lost a mere £32.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11In a moment, two more teams take on the Bargain Hunt challenge,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14but first, I fancy a little trip to the country.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Leeds Castle has had a colourful history over the last 1,000 years.
0:25:27 > 0:25:34It's withstood sieges, it's seen hangings from its chain drawbridge,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37at various times, it's been used as a prison,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42as a hospital, even as a refuge from the plague of London.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Wow!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48During that time, the rooms inside the castle
0:25:48 > 0:25:52have been continuously altered to reflect its changing use.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Lady Baillie, the castle's last private owner,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57was a perennial socialite,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and she adapted the rooms to create
0:25:59 > 0:26:03a luxurious party venue in the 1920s.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07This space is the chapel, but in Lady Baillie's time,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11she used it as a store for her collection of gramophone records.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15She must have had quite a collection, and the music was piped
0:26:15 > 0:26:18from here into the adjoining banqueting hall
0:26:18 > 0:26:20for the benefit of her guests.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24The space has now been reconsecrated as a chapel,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and I think one of the most spectacular works of art
0:26:27 > 0:26:32in this area are these four carved wooden panels.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35They were made in Ulm, which is in Bavaria,
0:26:35 > 0:26:37about 60 miles from Munich,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40and are most unusual.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44The scale of the panels themselves is extraordinary.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50What we've got here is pear wood, which is dense, light
0:26:50 > 0:26:53and relatively easy to carve,
0:26:53 > 0:26:57which is probably a sandwich of three layers,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and then this has been carved alto-relievo,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03and alto-relievo means that the carving
0:27:03 > 0:27:07is very bold and stands out from the background.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Overall, they tell a story. We have the Annunciation,
0:27:10 > 0:27:15we've got the Nativity, we've got the Adoration,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18and we've got the Presentation of Our Lord.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22But my favourite, I think, is the Adoration.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Here we've got the Three Kings making their presentation.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Over the back wall is a character,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34probably a shepherd, looking over
0:27:34 > 0:27:39to see the Presentation of the gold, frankincense and myrrh.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43These were created around 1500,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46which makes them 500-odd years old.
0:27:46 > 0:27:53All in all, the four panels make up an incredibly important work of art.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55The big question today is,
0:27:55 > 0:28:01will any of our teams' works of art turn out to be incredibly important?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Back at Ardingly Fair,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07our next two teams are about to shop for bargains.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09So let's meet our new Reds and Blues.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14Today, we have medical students Joseph and Alex
0:28:14 > 0:28:19for the Reds, welcome, and partners Melissa and Samuel for the Blues.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Welcome to Bargain Hunt. - Thank you very much.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24What do you hope to do when qualified?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28I hope to be a doctor in the RAF, that's the route I'm going down.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm with the University of London Air Squadron, learning to fly.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- That's very nice, isn't it? - It's fun.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- You don't have to fly to be a doctor in the army?- No.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- But it is nice to do anyway.- Yeah, and somebody else is paying for it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Exactly. Shh.- Super.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Do you enjoy shopping for antiques?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I do a bit with my grandma.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I bought a top hat from the early 1900s which was very nice,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52mainly to go with a set of tails that my dad got.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54And also I have a few canes.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57It started from my great-great-grandpa on my grandma's side.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01He gave me - not personally - I got a cane from him with an ivory handle
0:29:01 > 0:29:06and a gold band on that, which is my favourite one.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08They are a good collectable. Good fun too.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Alex, what do hope to do when you've completed your training?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Originally, I was thinking about doing psychiatry,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19but I think I'm leaning more towards a paediatric sort of route now.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22My parents have fostered so there's always been children around.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24What do you get up to in your spare time?
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Pretty much all of my spare time is taken up rowing.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29We are training almost every day.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Three days a week, we're on the water - there's land training on all but one other day.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Well, you'll need plenty of strength today at Ardingly
0:29:36 > 0:29:38because it's a big old fair to get around.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now, for the partners, how did you first meet?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45We met when we were at university.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50I was at Goldsmiths doing drama, Sam was at Chelsea College of Art doing fine art.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55- So you're an actress? - Yes, well, struggling.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56How is it going?
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Really good. I've just finished a tour of a play in the Midlands,
0:30:00 > 0:30:02and I've just done a couple of adverts and things like that.
0:30:02 > 0:30:07- Are you what they call "resting" at the moment?- Yes, I think so. I like to think so.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Not after this programme, you won't, with any luck.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14I hope you have a good time today, because it's a tough profession that you are in.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Samuel, do you have equally enormous ambitions?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I'd like to be a portrait painter one day if possible.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23At the moment, I'm teaching literacy and numeracy to support that.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Some 20th century portrait painters
0:30:24 > 0:30:26have done enormously well, haven't they?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30They have, yes. There is a thriving modern art market,
0:30:30 > 0:30:31but I'm not in it yet.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Just a question of breaking in, isn't it?- That's right, yeah.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Do you enjoy shopping for antiques?
0:30:38 > 0:30:42We're both novices, but we enjoy having a look around the markets where we live.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46We live just off Brick Lane, Spitalfields at the moment. We do enjoy it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- That is a great part of London, isn't it?- It is fantastic, very vibrant.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- You never know what you're going to find.- No, it's brilliant.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's just like Ardingly today. What fun.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01£300 apiece for our lovely young teams,
0:31:01 > 0:31:03who need to be fit to dash off.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06You know the rules, your experts await,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08and off you go, and very good luck.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Any aircraft memorabilia?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I was drawn towards this, because I know you said
0:31:21 > 0:31:26you wanted something decorative, thinking about dressing up a house or flat or something like this.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31It's actually pony skin, you can see on here.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36It is quite nice and early, probably 1830s, 1840s in date.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- I love this studded pattern around here.- We really like it, don't we?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42We do really like it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Slightly worried about the price for the condition of it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50Yes, the price is asking 128,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52which is very high, I think.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55It has got wear, but that adds to its appeal, I think?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Its charm. It's not the sort of item you could restore, is it?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01No. I don't think you would, you'd just leave it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- You'd leave it as it is.- Yeah.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Not happy with the price, or the woodworm,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Melissa and Sam continue to browse, while Catherine hangs back
0:32:10 > 0:32:12to have a word about the trunk.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- These are from the 1930s.- OK.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25So they are collectable,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29it is useful and lighting always makes reasonable prices.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34- What I like about this one here is that it's a miniature one. - It's a small size, yeah.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36It's a miniature one.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Now, if you hold that up to the light,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42that is going to glow a beautiful...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- When the light shines through. - When the light shines down.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I think it's a nice wee item.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50It has £30 on the ticket.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55Try and get it down to... if you get it about 20,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58or even below that, we might have a chance here.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- OK, thank you very much. - We'll see what we can do.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Their teamwork paid off. The boys bought the lampshade for £15.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Fast work, guys.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09So the Reds have got off to a good start.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Now, after some tough negotiation from Catherine,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16the Blues can have the trunk for £75.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20OK, I have spoken to your governor, your boss -
0:33:20 > 0:33:23she said we can have it for £75.
0:33:23 > 0:33:29- Very cheap. - Well, let's hope so. Deal?- Deal.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I quite like this piece.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34It's a mirror and a matching... matching comb with it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39I love the combination of silver and enamelled work.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41But when you're looking at enamel work,
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- you've got to make sure that it's not chipped.- OK.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48- Very difficult and very expensive to restore.- To repair.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52So we've got to... Do we have it in perfect condition?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54The comb looks in good condition.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- The enamel on this looks pretty perfect as well.- Excellent.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Price, what's the price on it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:0185, it's priced.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04We're interested in this collection piece.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Would you be able to, be willing to take some money off the price?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Yes, I can do you a discount.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Let me have a look at this. - 85, it's at.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19At the very best, last price is 65.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Can you take another couple of pounds off?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23No, sorry, that's it.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- What do you think? - You've been very generous,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29thank you very much, that's wonderful.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33This Red Team don't hang about making decisions, oh, no.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36With two out of their three items already bought,
0:34:36 > 0:34:42over half an hour left on the clock and still £220 to spend,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44I'd say they're doing all right.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I missed that on the way in.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47It's a bit large to miss.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- This will get us going, boys.- Yeah.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53You're the guys that know about aircraft
0:34:53 > 0:34:56who have been waiting for this piece all afternoon.
0:34:56 > 0:35:02- You tell me about it. - Well, it's a propeller, it's wooden.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Is that right? OK.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07I'm not sure if it's an actual one that has been used before.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10It doesn't... I'm not sure how airworthy that one is.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12How airworthy it is, uh-huh.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15It's a very well-made thing. Look at these strips here.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20I'm not sure that that would have been the airplane clock.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I think that has been put on at a later date.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Looks a bit fanciful to be inside the vehicle.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31Boys, I think this might be the item that we've been looking for for the last hour.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32THEY LAUGH
0:35:32 > 0:35:35These lads are into flying.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38This laddie here wants to join the Air Force.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43So we thought this propeller might help him fly.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44How much is it?
0:35:44 > 0:35:4665 is really...
0:35:46 > 0:35:5165. Is that the best that you can do for us?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£60, if that will help.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You're a darling.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59Thank you so much.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04The Reds look as pleased as punch, and so they should be.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08They've bought all their items with 15 minutes to spare.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12The Blues, however, look like they're starting to feel the pressure.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16OK, what's this?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- We saw this photo album. - I like that.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22It's really nice but it's got some damage, though, as well.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28OK, so we've got this nice, diamond, mother of pearl inlay on the top,
0:36:28 > 0:36:32sorry, overlay on the top, and on the other side that's nice.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35There's a few fragments missing.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- It's got some interesting photos in it.- Has it?
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I like that.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Do you get all the photos?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Yeah, yeah.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Let's have a look. How much are they asking?- 125.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49That's too much.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Let's see what we can get.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Excuse me. Hi.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Can I just have a word with you about the mother of pearl?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- You like this, Samuel. - I do like this, yeah.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01A little bit of damage here.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Would you be willing to do anything on the price for that?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I'd do it for 100.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I'm thinking more about £80.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15Yes, that's actually what I paid for it. 90.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19I understand you've got to make a profit as well.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23We understand that. Can we meet halfway and say 85?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Ouch, this is getting a bit arm up the back time.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28We'll take it off your hands.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Go on, take it for 85.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Are you happy with that? You found it, didn't you? Are you happy?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I hope you do well with it.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Thank you very much. Right, let's go.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Well, that was a good deal.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44There's another covered building up there.
0:37:44 > 0:37:50So they've now bought two items and have £140 left.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52But they've only got a few minutes to spend it in.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Let me just tell you something about it.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It's actually made by Charles Horner.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58You can see the initials there.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03There's the hallmark, which I actually couldn't read because it's quite dusty.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05My friend tells me it's...
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- What did you say it was? Sorry. - Approximately 1908.
0:38:09 > 0:38:111908. It's Art Nouveau in style.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16There's a slight bit of damage to the enamel there and there.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18The lady's asking for 85.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22I've had a word and we can get it for about 62.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Can we get it for 60 so it's a nice round number?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- You can try.- We can try.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- We can have it for 60? - That'll do nicely.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Yes.- Shall we go for it?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- I think we'll go for it. - Are you happy with that? We've spent oodles of cash.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- We have.- But hopefully we've bought good pieces.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Nice Charles Horner brooch.- Yes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Yes. Yes? - Well, I don't know, Catherine.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47It still leaves you with £80 to spend on a bonus buy.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- HE HONKS HIS HORN - It's time to stop the clock. There's no time left to shop.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01The boys switched on their charm and bought the small lampshade for £15.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04They took a shine to the silver enamelled mirror and comb set.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06It cost them £65.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10The time certainly was ticking along when they stumbled upon
0:39:10 > 0:39:12the propeller clock. £60 paid.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16OK, chaps. Which is your favourite piece, Joe?
0:39:16 > 0:39:22- My personal favourite piece is the wooden propeller and clock. - Yes. Lovely. What about you, Alex?
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- I'd say the glass light shade, cos we got it so cheap. - That's why it's your favourite?
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- Yes.- And it's your prediction for the greatest profit?- Yes.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- What about you, Jim? - I think the same. We managed to knock it down to half price.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- OK, great. You spent £140.- Yes.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42- Which is kind of average. Can I have £160 of leftover lolly? - There you go, Anita.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44That's very handsome, isn't it?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47These boys were a pair of sweethearts.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Sometimes I can be a wee bit of a sweetheart myself.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52That's a hint.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Oh, Lord. I'm not sure I'd better go there, Anita.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59You'd better go off and get your sweetheart, whatever it is,
0:39:59 > 0:40:03while we remind ourselves what the blues bought.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06At £75, the blues are hoping the pony skin trunk
0:40:06 > 0:40:09will race away at the auction.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Sam found the mother of pearl photo album and after
0:40:13 > 0:40:17a bit of negotiation, settled on a price of £85.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21The Charles Horner silver brooch was bought with
0:40:21 > 0:40:24just a couple of minutes to spare - £60 paid.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28- Mellissa and Samuel. You had fun, didn't you?- We did, yes. We really had good fun.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Which is your favourite piece?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Mine would have to be the photo album.- The photo album?
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Yes.- I like the photo album as well.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40There are some really nice photos in there. But I think the pony chest is my favourite.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Which is going to bring the biggest profit, Melissa? - Probably the brooch.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46The brooch. Do you agree with that, Simon?
0:40:46 > 0:40:50No, I think the pony chest has got an excellent chance.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53You're well coordinated anyway, which is brilliant.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57You spent a great £220, giving £80 of leftover lolly
0:40:57 > 0:40:59to go to Catherine Southon for the bonus buy.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03- Thank you, Tim. - Did you have a good time with them?
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- They were great. They're fun and trendy and I want to get them something retro.- Really?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10- Something they can shout about.- All right.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- An interior piece.- I think there's a bit of hinting going on here.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30We've come 40 miles-ish north-ish to west London.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Chiswick Auction Rooms is our venue today, with our auctioneer William Rouse.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Glad to have you here, Tim. - Very nice to be here.
0:41:37 > 0:41:43For the red team, Joseph and Alex, they've gone with this light shade, found by Anita.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Do you fancy that at all? - I think...
0:41:47 > 0:41:52The merit is, it's a bit smaller than usual, so there is something quite interesting about that.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58Plafonnier is the word that we use to describe it.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Good. Does that make it worth...?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Probably not. - More than £15, hopefully.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04I'm sure it will fetch more than £15.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I think we probably reckon £25 - £40 or something like that.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Brilliant. Well, Anita will be delighted about that.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15Next is the enamelled mirror and comb.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Nicely engine turned and bright blue and in good nick.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I like that very much.
0:42:22 > 0:42:28The critical thing with enamel is that if it's chipped it's no good because it's so difficult to repair.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Any lady would find that a useful little thing to have in the handbag, I'm sure.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Yes, quite. I'm sure, too.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37How sure are you, though?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39What's it worth, do you reckon?
0:42:39 > 0:42:41I think we've put about £50 - £80 on it.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47Very good. £65 paid. What about this aircraft propeller timepiece?
0:42:47 > 0:42:52Well, I can't help thinking it must have come from a very small aircraft, cos it's a tiny propeller.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's got an interesting conversion
0:42:55 > 0:42:58with a quartz concealed movement inside.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Oh, yes. That's very special, that.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05- Yes. Perhaps a more recent addition. - Still, there we go. Interesting.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- What's it worth?- I think it's definitely worth £50 to £80.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13OK, £60 paid. So, on prediction, there should be a small profit
0:43:13 > 0:43:16on all three of these items, and they may not need their bonus buy.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18But let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:43:20 > 0:43:21It's very nice.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26I wanted to buy something with an RAF connection.
0:43:26 > 0:43:31And this little brooch is called a sweetheart brooch.
0:43:31 > 0:43:36And it was given to RAF servicemen to their wives or girlfriends.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38It's silver, with enamel.
0:43:38 > 0:43:43- And it's a very pretty thing. People collect them. - How much did you spend on it?- £20.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45It's just about the right price for it.
0:43:45 > 0:43:50- We might make a couple of pounds profit.- It looks in good condition. - It is.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Alex is giving it the forensic approach.
0:43:53 > 0:43:58- Scientific.- Yes, scientific. The dissection from our medic is taking place here.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01I don't think it'd sell for so much if I dissected it.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05You don't have to decide right now. You decide later, after the sale of the first three items.
0:44:05 > 0:44:11But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's RAF brooch.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13I can't say it gets me terribly excited.
0:44:13 > 0:44:20- It does say silver on the back, which implies that it isn't even English.- It may not have been.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25Made cheaply abroad and then imported for distribution amongst the boys in blue.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Does it mean it's going to make any money at auction, though?
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Probably not a huge amount. £20, £30.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35Anything over £20 will see us soaring into profit. Thank you, William.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39That's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues, Melissa and Samuel.
0:44:39 > 0:44:44Their first item is the pony skin covered trunk.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46This is pretty horrid, really.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49One can't help wondering if it looked rather nicer 150 years ago.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53Definitely. Unfortunate about the condition, but there we are.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56What do you think it's worth?
0:44:56 > 0:44:58I think I've put about £50 on it.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00Have you? £75 was paid.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02So that could be a bit of a loss.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06Next up is the mother of pearl encrusted photo album, which is a handsome example.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10I think this is a good thing, actually.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12So often one sees card cases with mother of pearl on,
0:45:12 > 0:45:15with bits missing. At the very least,
0:45:15 > 0:45:19there's an awful lot of material there for restoration, if you were a restorer.
0:45:19 > 0:45:25- Yeah. Well on that happy note, what do you think it's worth? - I think we put about £100, £150.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29£80 was paid. What about the Charles Horner enamel brooch?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32It's a very small, discreet little thing.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34- Yeah.- Quite sweet.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37I mean, it's got the Arts And Crafts look to it, hasn't it?
0:45:37 > 0:45:40And I love that green enamel. I think it's the most exciting colour scheme.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44- Horner is a good maker. - It's a sweet thing.
0:45:44 > 0:45:50- £50 - £80?- £60 paid. Can't argue with that.- Well, there's plenty of leeway there.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54It's this old pony that's going to let them down. That's the trouble with it.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- Better go and have a look at their bonus buy, eh?- Yep.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- This all looks a bit delicate. - I'm going to need some assistance.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05I'm going to whip it off. Oh, my God! There it goes. Look at that.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Don't you think that's fantastic?
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- What is it?- This is a drinking set.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12It speaks for itself. It's funky.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Just like you guys. I know you wanted something retro.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19We have got so much for our money here.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22I paid £25 for this. This is going to make us money.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24What do you think it will make then?
0:46:24 > 0:46:28I think they should make about £50.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30- Profit?- No, Tim!
0:46:30 > 0:46:32Come on.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35Why not, frankly?
0:46:35 > 0:46:39You've got five pieces, all in brilliant condition.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Stoneware. And it's got a kind of contemporary look to it, hasn't it?
0:46:42 > 0:46:45What do you think, Melissa? Do you like them?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Yeah, I do. I really like a pattern. I like the blue colour.
0:46:47 > 0:46:51- They're like nice little coffee cups or something. - Beakers.- Anyway, there you go.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53£25 is what we've got.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56We've got a prediction of maybe making £25 profit.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58That's what the girl said.
0:46:58 > 0:47:02That's what she said. We watched her lips.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05Hold that thought. Because for viewers at home,
0:47:05 > 0:47:09let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's drink set.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Very stylish. I like this diamond design.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16- And of course, Stoneware, so it's kind of bullet proof.- That's right.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19How much then, do you think?
0:47:19 > 0:47:20£70 - £100?
0:47:20 > 0:47:23Catherine will be over the moon. She paid £25 for it.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Goodness me. I'm sure we can improve on that.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27She could triple her money on this.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- Who knows?- That's if the team go with her bonus buy.
0:47:30 > 0:47:35- We'll find out about that when the auction starts, eh?- Absolutely.
0:47:42 > 0:47:46- OK, boys, you up for this?- Yes. - It's a long wait before you get to the auction.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49- It is a bit, yeah. - But it's the most exciting part.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53First up is the glass lampshade, and here it comes.
0:47:53 > 0:47:58172a, a small marbled glass satin plafonnier.
0:47:58 > 0:48:02172a. Little one there. Is it worth £10?
0:48:02 > 0:48:04£10, surely, for the plafonnier?
0:48:04 > 0:48:07Anybody want it for a tenner?
0:48:07 > 0:48:1010, I'm bid. A maiden bid of £10. We're in for £10.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14And 12, I'll take from somebody else. At £10 then, is all I'm bid.
0:48:14 > 0:48:1610 pounds? It's going for £10.
0:48:16 > 0:48:19Selling it for £10, nobody else. £10.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21It's not good.
0:48:21 > 0:48:23It's minus £5.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Next lot up is the nit comb and the mirror. Here it comes.
0:48:27 > 0:48:33Lot 173a. It's a lady's handbag mirror and comb, 173a.
0:48:33 > 0:48:36What's it worth? Start me for £30.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38A pretty thing for £30. £20 then, to go.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40£20 I'm bid, I thought so, at 20.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43And 22 I'll take. Bidding 22? No, bidding there at £20.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45A maiden bid of £20. Anybody else?
0:48:45 > 0:48:49At £20 for the enamel, for £20.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52£20, it's going there for £20. £22.
0:48:52 > 0:48:57£24. £26. £28. £28 down there.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00£28, it's still cheap at £28. I'm selling it then £28.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04Minus £42 overall, you've got the propeller clock to go for.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06All right? That is pretty shocking so far.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08It's not doing well.
0:49:08 > 0:49:12I'm not going to lie. It might buck up. Here we come.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14174a, it's a laminated wood propeller.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Set for the clock, 174a.
0:49:17 > 0:49:20What's it worth, start me for £30, a bit of fun there for £30.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22£20 to go then. £20 I'm bid everywhere.
0:49:22 > 0:49:2720 there, £22, £24, £26, £28, £30,
0:49:27 > 0:49:33£32, £34, £36, £38, £40, £40 there.
0:49:35 > 0:49:40£45, fresh bidding. £45 there. £50.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Is that a no? £45 I'm bid then. At £45. At £45.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Anybody else, at £45? It's going for £45 then.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49£45, minus £15.
0:49:49 > 0:49:54Which means overall you are minus £57.
0:49:54 > 0:49:58- That's not bad. - Could have done worse.
0:49:58 > 0:50:02Not much! So what are you going to do about the sweetheart brooch?
0:50:02 > 0:50:06- Are you going to go with the bonus buy?- We might as well.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10On current form, you can't do a lot worse, can you?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12Anyway, you're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15- We are.- You are going with the bonus buy, and here comes Anita's brooch.
0:50:15 > 0:50:20Lot 177a is the little white metal and enamel RAF brooch.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23177a. Is it worth £10?
0:50:23 > 0:50:26A little brooch for £10.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27Surely somebody for £10?
0:50:27 > 0:50:31It must be worth £10. £5 then, surely?
0:50:31 > 0:50:35Oh dear, we are not doing very well. £5 I'm bid. £6, anybody?
0:50:35 > 0:50:37For £5 with the lady.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40I thought you might. £6?
0:50:40 > 0:50:44You want £7, madam? £7?
0:50:44 > 0:50:47£8? No, £8.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49I'm bid in the red here at £8. And £8 it goes.
0:50:49 > 0:50:53For £8 for the brooch, at £8.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Not many sweethearts here.
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Minus £69, I think.
0:51:01 > 0:51:05- An impressive figure.- Minus 69? - Oh, I didn't hear the minus.
0:51:05 > 0:51:10You only spent £160 and you're already minus £69.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Anyway, let's park this.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Don't tell the Blues a thing. Keep your chin up, walk tall.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17- Will do.- Lovely.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25So, Melissa and Samuel. How do you think the Reds got on, do you know?
0:51:25 > 0:51:28- I don't know.- We've got no idea.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32- Hopefully well, though. - Well, not too well!
0:51:32 > 0:51:38- That's very sporting. - You're a lovely bloke. Sweet.
0:51:38 > 0:51:43First lot up is the old pony skin covered trunk, and here it comes.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Lot 192a is a Georgian pony skin dome top trunk.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49Where shall we start that?
0:51:49 > 0:51:51£20 for it, surely? £20 I'm bid, straight off.
0:51:51 > 0:51:54£20 I'm bid at £20. £22.
0:51:54 > 0:51:59£24. £26, £28, £28, here at £28.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03Anybody else at £28? That's £30 there. £32.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06£34. £36.
0:52:06 > 0:52:09£38. £38, to the lady at £38 then.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13I can sell it for £38. Anybody else want to come in for £38 then?
0:52:13 > 0:52:17£38, old thing, then. Selling for £38.
0:52:17 > 0:52:22- £38, it canters off into the sunset. - You were right, and I was wrong.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24It got some bidding interest though, didn't it?
0:52:24 > 0:52:29That's £37 down the drain so far.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Next up is the pearl covered album, and here it comes.
0:52:33 > 0:52:39193a is a Victorian mother of pearl carte de visite album, 193a.
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Let's start me for £50 for it.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44It must be worth £50 for the carte de visite. Surely, for £50?
0:52:44 > 0:52:4640, then to go. £40 I'm bid.
0:52:46 > 0:52:50£45, £50, £55, it's very cheap for £45. £50 I'll take.
0:52:50 > 0:52:54At £45, I can't believe it. At £45.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56All I'm bid for £45.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Anybody else want to come in for 45?
0:52:58 > 0:53:02£50, just in time there. £50, we're crawling along at £50.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04Anybody else for £50? It's half money at £50.
0:53:04 > 0:53:09It's crawling, isn't it? For £50, I'm going to sell it for £50, then.
0:53:09 > 0:53:13I'm sorry, but that's another minus £35.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Now, Charles Horner.
0:53:15 > 0:53:21194a is an Art Nouveau silver and enamel oval-shaped brooch, 194a.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23There it is.
0:53:23 > 0:53:24Is it worth £20?
0:53:24 > 0:53:28Surely for the little brooch at 20. 20 I'm bid. I thought so. £22.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31£24. £26.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34£28. £30. £32. £34.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37I can only do two at once, I'll come to you in a second.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39£34. £36.
0:53:39 > 0:53:40£38.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43£38. Would you like 40, madam? £40.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46£45. £50. £55.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50£55, there at £55. £55.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Anybody else for 55? Then it goes at £55.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Oh no, £55. That's tight, isn't it?
0:53:55 > 0:54:00Minus £5, which means overall you are minus £77.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Minus 77.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06After all that prediction of joy.
0:54:06 > 0:54:08I know! It was looking so good.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10It was looking so good.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Anyway, what are you going to do about the old drinks set?
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- I think we'll take it. - We've got nothing to lose.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17You could lose another £25.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19But you're going with the drinks set.
0:54:19 > 0:54:25197a is this Goebels jug with four tumblers. 197a.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29Decorative lot. Must be worth £50.
0:54:29 > 0:54:32Start me for £40 for the lot, please, for £40 for it.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34For the jug - for £40.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36No?
0:54:36 > 0:54:38Surely somebody wants this for £40.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40£30 then to get me going? 30 then, anybody?
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Surely for 30?
0:54:42 > 0:54:46£20, then? Goodness me. £20 I'm bid.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49Dear, oh, dear. £20. Anybody else?
0:54:49 > 0:54:52It's surely worth more than this for £20. It's here to be sold.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Anybody want it? £20 I'm bid, with a maiden bid of £20.
0:54:56 > 0:54:59- It's going then for £20, it goes for 20 then.- There we go, £20.
0:54:59 > 0:55:04So overall you are minus £82.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05- It is a tragedy.- It is.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08Now, minus £82 could be a winning score.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10THEY LAUGH
0:55:10 > 0:55:14So don't tell the Reds a scrap. OK?
0:55:14 > 0:55:16Not a word out of those old lips.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18OK.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24- Been talking? Communicating at all? - No.
0:55:24 > 0:55:28Absolutely not. Well, I had to tell you that the scale of today's losses are pretty massive.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32This should come as no secret to either of the teams.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35It's simply a question of scale.
0:55:35 > 0:55:39And the one with the serious whopper is, of course, the Blues.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41THEY LAUGH
0:55:41 > 0:55:45- £82. Pretty good, isn't it? - It's pretty bad.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47I make that minus, minus throughout.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49I don't know what happened in there, but
0:55:49 > 0:55:53they were predicting some profits that just never materialised.
0:55:53 > 0:55:54- They were.- Bad luck all round.
0:55:54 > 0:55:57- I thought we were going to do all right.- I thought so, too.
0:55:57 > 0:56:02Everybody thought you were going to do all right. It goes to show that you just can't tell.
