0:00:01 > 0:00:05It's not every day that somebody gives you £300 to go shopping with.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09In fact, it can on the mean one thing... Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37Welcome to the Kent Showground.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42With all this choice about, I hope our teams have got their walking shoes on, and their eyes open.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Both the Reds and the Blues get the same deal. Each get an expert,
0:00:51 > 0:00:52an hour, and £300 to find
0:00:52 > 0:00:58the very best antiques they can find here, in Detling. It doesn't finish there.
0:00:58 > 0:01:03Oh no, they have to sell their items on later at auction, where anything can happen.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08The team that makes the most profits, wins.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Coming up, not two, but four teams battling to spend their £300.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Let's see if our first teams, two pairs of married couples,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22make some harmonious purchases.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Today, both our girls are joined by their husbands.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29For the Reds, we've got Max and John, welcome.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And Nick and Emma, for the Blues.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34So, Max. What you do for a living?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I'm a part-time student at UCA in Canterbury.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- I'm doing a BA in fine art at the moment.- And you're loving it?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42I absolutely love it, yes.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43What are you majoring in?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Really, my passion is for photography.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Nearly every time I go out, apart from today,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50I've got a camera with me.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And do you collect anything?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I collect 20th century art glass.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I've been collecting that for about 10 years now.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Very good. John, what do you do?
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I've been a consultant for about 25 years.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- But you're quite artistic too, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I paint abstracts.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08We've got a studio that we both work in.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Saturday night is often a case of a few bottles of wine, working through
0:02:12 > 0:02:15the night, and seeing what comes out Sunday morning.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I think we're going to have great fun with you today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Now for the Blues. Welcome.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So, how did you meet Nick?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25We met at university,
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- three days into our historical studies course back in 1992.- No!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- We did.- Three days in.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We were at the library study skills orientation.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I was paying attention. Nick was eyeing up the talent.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Nick, you're a bit of a bookworm.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I am. I did a history degree, same as Emma.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I specialised in naval history.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I was fortunate enough to have my dissertation published.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55You were recently on Steve Wright's BBC Two radio programme.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Yes.- How did that come about?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00A friend of ours has a severely handicapped daughter,
0:03:00 > 0:03:05and we organised a charity ball to raise money for her, to provide specialist care.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Steve Wright kindly donated a slot on his show.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13It was a wonderful experience. Something I'd love to do again.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15That's the good thing about charity auctions.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19You can get carried away. And if you do, it doesn't really matter.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- You sometimes get something completely unique.- Absolutely, and it's tax deductible!
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Very sharp.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, it's the money moment now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Here's your £300, which you have been waiting for.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32You know the rules.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Your experts await. Off you go, and good luck.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39So, will it be the arty team,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43or the wordsmiths who gets the upper hand today?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Helping the Reds is James Braxton.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52And searching for stalls with the Blues
0:03:52 > 0:03:53is Kate Bliss.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Let's do it quite methodically.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Let's keep going up that way.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Emma's here to choose the item, I'm here to negotiate the price.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- What a team!- That's the game plan.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I love the fox.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- A Lea Stein brooch.- Why that one?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I absolutely love the colour green and I'm quite interested in foxes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I've been photographing foxes and things for my artwork.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19And you can see the mother of pearl.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23The first layer was mother of pearl.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Then, I guess a transparent green was put over the top.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- How much is he?- He's £38.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Is that your best price, do you think?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33JAMES CHUCKLES
0:04:33 > 0:04:38The very best would be about 36. The margins on these are so small.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- Would you do 35, is that possible? - Um...
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Yeah, go on.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46You would?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Thank you, very much. - Do you want to get that?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- I think I would.- Let's do that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Fantastic.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I wondered how long it would be before she found an animal.
0:04:59 > 0:05:0415 minutes, not bad.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Now, have those Blues bagged anything yet?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10It's obviously English silver.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14It's hallmarked here for Chester, which is one of the more unusual hallmarks.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16With that date letter, it's 1902.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20You've got this nice little fox mask.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The wishbone for good luck.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Have a little look yourself.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27There's quite a bit of silver in it too.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28It's not that light.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- What do you think, Emma? - I like the fact it's got some age and it's been used.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It's an item that has had a purpose in its life.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It could have been a wedding gift or something.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42And do we know what they're asking for it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:48Well, the price tag here - let me just fish that out - is £68 on that.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51We can certainly see what they can do.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Let's ask.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Bear with me just a minute.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You have a look and see if anything else catches your eye. I'll have a word.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05There are a lot of interesting things in here. Are they sellable?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08£40, guys? Which is quite a reduction.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- It is, yes. - Is that something you would buy?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I probably would, actually.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17You say you like little silver pieces.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18- Let's buy it.- Let's buy it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I think you can talk about it too much, can't you?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Let's go and do it. - Great. Let's do it. Decision made.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Wise words. £40 paid. item number one in the bag.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36How our teams getting on inside?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Hopefully, they'll have spent some more money.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41That's a bizarre one, isn't it?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43That's quite ecclesiastical, isn't it?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47It needs a stack of Bibles or something in there, wouldn't you?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50A couple of vicars at the sale and we'll be set.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Might resonate at Canterbury as well.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- It's a slidey thing.- A slidey thing!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57I don't know what the real term is.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Let's just...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Ow! You pinched my finger!
0:07:01 > 0:07:05So, he wants £100 for it and his reasoning for that is,
0:07:05 > 0:07:10it's a big fellow, it's undamaged, slightly unusual in that it's oak.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15I think £100 seems an awful lot. I'd have thought about £75 or something.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, it's not going to go in a hurry. Let's put it back.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23What about lighters?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Those are actually vesta cases, they're for matches.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28This has a monogram on it.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Yes, that's engraved with initials, with a monogram and then all-over decoration.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Victorian, there we go, 1898.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39And if you just open up the little lid like that, you can see
0:07:39 > 0:07:43the matches fitted in there, and you would strike them on the base there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Wow. - What's your rock-bottom, sir?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What have I got on it, 68?
0:07:49 > 0:07:5255 gives you a chance in auction, possibly.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Did you say 50?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57They're horrible, these people you bring to me.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I'm under pressure - these guys want to win.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Go on, then, 50.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Time's ticking, we've not got long.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Come on, then, £50, let's do it. Shake on it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Just give me all that cash. All right, lovely.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Cor, that Nick drives a hard bargain!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Finding their third item is going to be a rush with just ten minutes left.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Time seems to be running away from the Reds.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Have they made any decisions yet?
0:08:29 > 0:08:34I'll deal with the book slide, you go over and see Peter re the Whitefriars.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- OK.- He had the Whitefriars.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40It would be great if we could get it slightly lower.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Tactics, I love it!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Can we ask you a couple of questions about this swan?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54You've got him for £35 and I really like him.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You couldn't do him for 20, could you?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I can't do 20, but I'd do 25.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- That's not bad actually. - Split the difference, 23?
0:09:02 > 0:09:04OK, I'll split the difference, 23.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yes, thank you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08At last! She's got a piece of glass.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Now, what are those Blues going to do with just a few minutes left, eh?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Let's go for the handbag... and be done.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19You've got a good feeling?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21So how did James get on with the book slide?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Oh, there he is. - Got another tenner off, so 90. - Well done.- OK.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It's going to the right place, Canterbury.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Yes.- As are we.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, that's pretty.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- She's pretty, isn't she? She's probably 1920s.- Yep.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Looking at the style of her dress.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42No signature that I can see, but a lovely little watercolour.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Painted on ivory, as they often were.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Let me just see how much we can get her for.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- You have a look.- What do you think of this? That's the original back?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I think that's attractive.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I think if we can get a good price, what did he say?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58The ticket price was 95.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I've got him down to 60, which I think is pretty good.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- OK, OK.- For a pretty girl.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Let's do it, let's buy it.- Go for it. - Decision?- Done!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Well done!- Excellent.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11That was frantic!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Cor, doesn't that hour just fly by?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Neeeow!
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Max was feeling foxy... Ha-ha!
0:10:24 > 0:10:25..and went for the brooch.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28She got the price down to £35.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Will the Whitefriars swan float or fly at auction? £23 paid.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The oak book slide was a strategic move,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42so let's hope it pays off at £90.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Was it good fun shopping? - Oh, it was great, thanks!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You did really well. Which is your favourite piece?
0:10:50 > 0:10:56- My favourite piece would be the little green brooch we've bought of the fox.- What about you, John?
0:10:56 > 0:10:57The blue swan, I think.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Which is gonna bring the biggest profit?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Well, I hope the book slide, because I can't see a profit on the other two.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06At least I'm hoping, I'm a bit of a pessimist!
0:11:06 > 0:11:11All right, fine. Well, you spent £148, I want £152 of leftover lolly.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Thank you.- That's a fortune, James, isn't it?- It is.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- And you've got something in view to buy, have you?- Definitely.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19All right, well, good luck, James.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Let's remind ourselves of what the Blues bought.
0:11:22 > 0:11:28Emma loved the silver letter opener, so decided to go for it at £40.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Will the vesta case light up the room?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Nick bought it for 50.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38The portrait of a girl was a bit of a rush buy,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41but Kate did her best and got it for £60.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Sometimes you need the pressure to make a decision, don't you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48If you'd said five seconds to go, I'd have thought, "rush buy".
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Did you have a great time?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- We had a brilliant time. - Fantastic time.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Which is your favourite piece, Ems? - Probably the silver letter opener.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- That's your favourite. - I would have to say the silver vesta.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Right, Nick, the silver vesta.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- I'm going to stick with the silver letter opener.- Right.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- And I'm going to agree. - Very sensible.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12You spent 150, right down the middle,
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- I'll have £150 of leftover lolly, which is a lot for Kate. - Look at that.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19What are you going to spend the £150 on, Kate?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I'm going to go for something traditional.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23You're quite a traditional girl.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Well, I am, really - old fashioned, I suppose.- Anyway, good luck!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32No more glorious city to visit than Canterbury,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36and Canterbury Auction Galleries prove no exception to the rule
0:12:36 > 0:12:38when it comes to great auction houses,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41and it's very nice to be here with our auctioneer, Michael Roberts. Good morning.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- Good morning, sir. - Now, John and Maxine, first item is this green plastic brooch.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Yeah.- So who is Lea Stein, then?
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Well, Lea Stein is a Parisian jewellery maker from the '60s,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- but they're £58 new on the internet. - Are they?- Yeah.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- So what have you put on this green chap?- 15-20.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- OK, £35 paid.- Hmm.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Next is this so-called Whitefriars blue glass swan.- Right.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Whitefriars?- I don't think so, I think it's more likely to be continental.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15In this case, I think the quality is not good enough to be Whitefriars,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17and really it's just a decorative ornament.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Who cares at £23? Cos that's what they paid.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Really? OK, sure.- I mean, it's not a lot of money, is it?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- No, no.- What do you think? A tenner?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Well, I've estimated at £10-15.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Not much of a loss there. - No.- What about this big joker, then?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Cos that is quite a size for a folding book trough.
0:13:35 > 0:13:42It is, yeah, it's...ecclesiastical design, I suppose you would call it, with the crucifix ends.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Yes, straight out of the rectory, isn't it?- Quite.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48To hold the Bibles, I suppose - quite a chunky, weighty thing.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Too big for the CDs.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Yes, indeed, indeed.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54My estimate is £70-100.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Well, that's OK, cos they paid 90. - Fine.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00And somebody may get swept away with the enthusiasm of the moment, mightn't they?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Well, let's hope so. - So not too many deep holes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06They may not need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Now, John and Max, you spent £148.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13You left James Braxton with £152 to find you a bonus buy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- What did James buy?- Here we are.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, wow. A cake stand.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Something rather bright and cheery, I thought.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It is, isn't it? Rather retro.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29And do these flowers... are they transfer and then...
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Just dabs of paint painted on.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- What do you think, Johnny? - I like it, I like the colours.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I wasn't expecting a cake stand, I have to admit.- No, I wasn't either.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43When I went out to Detling, nor was I expecting to buy a cake stand.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46A nice three-tiered cake stand, James. You spent the lot?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- No, I bought it for £20, that's why I bought it.- Oh, that's very good.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And what's your feeling for how much it would get at auction?
0:14:52 > 0:14:57I thought it would make more, that's why I bought it!
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Isn't that the idea?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01I could see it going for £30, something like that.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I think it could do 30.- Well, that's a hit, James, well done for that.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07For the viewers at home, let's find out now
0:15:07 > 0:15:11what the auctioneer thinks about James's little cake stand.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Well...are you going to have a chocolate digestive?
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Well, maybe a scone or something.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23It's fine, '30s cake stand, one of the Staffordshire makers,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Parrott and Company, whoever they were.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Parrott!- Parrott, yeah, with a picture of a parrot on the base.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32The chrome's not rusty, the plates aren't chipped.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It's absolutely a period piece.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36It is, yes.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But useless.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41That's the problem, that's the thing, isn't it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- My estimate's £10-15.- OK, £20 paid.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Right.- I don't fancy there'll be a huge loss there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49You never know, he might turn a profit.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Well, let's hope so.- Yeah, great.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Nick and Emma, their first item is the letter opener in silver.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Yes, bit of an interesting sort of life story to this.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's actually two pieces that have been soldered together a bit crudely.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06There's different hallmarks on here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10On the blade you have 1917, on the terminal you have 1900.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Both Chester marks. My estimate is £15-20.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17OK, fine, well, they paid 40, so that may not be so brilliant.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Silver vesta case now, a little bright cut job.
0:16:20 > 0:16:28Yeah, it's fine. It's in good condition, nicely marked, engraved with some chap's initials.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33But yeah, it's a good example, but perhaps in the current climate it's pretty redundant.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35But yeah, it's fine. 20 to £30.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- £50 they paid.- Oh, dear.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- It's an awful lot of money, isn't it?- It is a bit.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44What about this half-length portrait?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Well, we've had it out of the frame, and it's on card.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- It looks like a print, doesn't it? - It does, actually, at first glance.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Perhaps that's the glass. But I looked up the artist, McDermott.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56I can't find in the thing on him.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Or her, for that matter. But an early 20th century picture,
0:17:00 > 0:17:01mid-20th century.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's nicely done, and we've had some pre-sale interest.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- How much?- My estimate is 45 to £60.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11They'll be delighted. They only paid £60. Super.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14But far too much for the vesta, and we have a married letter opener.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16A bit of damage on the blade.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21So that's not so good. They are going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Now, you spent £150. Magnificent.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27You gave £150 to Kate Bliss. What did she spend it on?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Well, I've gone for something quite traditional for you.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- I've got an early Victorian, might even be William IV, rosewood tea caddy.- Right.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Sarcophagus shape is what it's called.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Quite a traditional form.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44Open it up and we've got the original two little lids here.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And of course, tea in Victorian times you would mix, leaf tea,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51and you would have two different sorts in two different little compartments.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55The colour's slightly gone off the top, but I think a good polish would get that back.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56A nice little thing.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59And will we be opening the champagne at auction with it?
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I paid £60, so I'm not going to tell you there's a huge amount of profit in that.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'm not going to pretend there is.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I think if two people like it, it might make a fiver.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13But right now, for the viewers at home, let's find out
0:18:13 > 0:18:16what the auctioneer thinks about Kate Bliss' little box.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18This is a good example.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Just because it's old doesn't mean it's any good. It's early Victorian.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26It's got the interior, which makes a change, but not the greatest quality in the first place.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29And now that tea is in bags, we don't need to pay much.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31What's it worth?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33My estimate's 35 to £50.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Oh, Lordy. Kate paid 60.- Oh, dear.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And she rates it as a bonus buy that's going to bring a profit.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41The big question is, will the teams take it when they get to the auction?
0:18:42 > 0:18:445...90.
0:18:44 > 0:18:465...95, sir?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48No?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- How are you feeling?- A bit nervy?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- Nervy and girly?- Yes!
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I'm not feeling girly! - Are you feeling nervy, though, John?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59No, I'm excited. It's packed, it's quite an atmosphere in here.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03The first lot, though, coming up, is the fox brooch, and here it is.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Come on, foxy.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Who'll start me at £10? £10 where? Decorative brooch.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- It's a steal!- Someone at £10?
0:19:13 > 0:19:1510 I'm bid. Thank you. 12 where?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Who's 12 now. Any more? 12 in front.
0:19:17 > 0:19:2114. 16. 18. 20. 2. 24.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25£22 behind. Who's 24 now? Any more?
0:19:25 > 0:19:26At £22 and selling.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Oh, dear. £22.- What's that?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That is minus £13.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Unlucky for some. Now your swan.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36There he is. £10 again. Who's £10?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39The swan pattern vase. A tenner?
0:19:39 > 0:19:44£5, then. £5 I'm bid. Who's 10 now? 10 where? Anybody else interested?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46If not, it's going at a fiver.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Sold for £5.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51So that's not so brilliant, actually.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It is minus £18. Moving on to the book rack.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56..of ecclesiastical design.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I have commission interest.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00I'm going to start at £85.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Yes! This is better!- Who's 90 now?
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Any more at £90?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07A good-looking book slide. At the back, 90. With you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08And who's 5 now?
0:20:08 > 0:20:1195 in front. 100? 110.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- 120. No? 110 in front. Who's 120 now? - Come on!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18A nice book slide. 110 selling.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21£110. Well, that's brilliant.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22That's plus £20.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24How lovely to have a good profit.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Well done. You were 31 before.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28You are minus £11.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30There's nothing in this. Right?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32There's a sheet of Bronco in this.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34There's nothing. What about the cake stand?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- We're going to go with the cake stand.- You will go with it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- It is Steph and my retirement. - It is!
0:20:39 > 0:20:42What could be nicer? Good.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So trusting James. And here it comes.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I have commission interest.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'm going to start at £10.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51And I'm looking for 12. A mighty sum! £12 where?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Who's 12 now? The cake stand?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56£12 I'm bid. 14. 16.
0:20:56 > 0:21:0018. 20? No? £18. 20 at the back.
0:21:00 > 0:21:032. 24. Well done, James. 26.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- 28.- You're in profit.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- 30. 32. No?- Oh, go on!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Any more?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14£32. Selling at 30 on commission.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17£30. Blast it!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21That is plus £10, which means overall you're minus £1.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Shall I give it to you now?!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Don't tell the Blues a thing.- No.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Go out there looking really confident, as if you've got 100 in your bank. That's the technique.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- We'll do that.- Yes.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41So, guys, been talking to the Reds?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43No, we haven't.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48We don't want you to. How are you feeling? It's a bit different to the library, isn't it?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Yes. It's quite exciting, actually, but I'm a bit apprehensive.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The first lot up is the silver letter opener, and here it comes.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Silver bookmark paper knife with a fox mask and wishbone terminal.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Commission interest. Going to start at £30. Looking for 2.
0:22:02 > 0:22:0532. 34. 36. 38. 40.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Come on...- 42. 44. 42 with me.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Who's 44? 42 at the back. 44.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- 46. 48. 50.- Look at that!
0:22:13 > 0:22:175 here. 60? 55 with me. Who's £60?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20At 55 and selling.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Is that 55? It was 55, wasn't it?
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You are plus 15. Well done!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Now here comes the vesta.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30I have commission interest. Going to start at £18.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Looking for 20. £20. 22. 24. 26. 28.
0:22:34 > 0:22:3730 here. And 2. £32.
0:22:37 > 0:22:3834. In several places.
0:22:38 > 0:22:44I'm going to go with 4. 36. 38.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- 40. 42. 44.- Look at this!
0:22:47 > 0:22:4844 behind.
0:22:48 > 0:22:4946. 48.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55No? 46 in front. 48. One more. 50?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Go on, sir.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Go on!- Only money! £50. 55? No?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03£50. It's with you. Who's 5 now?
0:23:03 > 0:23:0550 and selling.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08£50! You wiped your face. Isn't that marvellous?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Who would have thought that?
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Right, now this wee girl.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17There she is, Lot 137, the young girl. I have commission interest.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Going to start at £30. Looking for 2. Who's 32 now?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Pretty watercolour, this. £32, someone? 32 where?
0:23:25 > 0:23:2932. 34. 36. 38. 40.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Yes? 42. 44.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Come on... Yeah? 46. 48.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Yes? No? 48? 50. And 5. 60. And 5.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4160 with me. Who's 5, now? Any more?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43At £60 and selling on commission.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46£60! You wiped your face again!
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- That's not bad!- You are plus £15. Well, I have to congratulate you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- That's pretty good.- These are three results, I have to say.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Yeah.- So, what about the rosewood tea caddy?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59You've got £15 in the bank. It could be a winning score.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03What are you going to do? Bank it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I know we're a team,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08but sometimes you have to sacrifice your team-mates.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- I think we're going to stay at 15. - Yes, I think so.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17You're sounding more and more like Anne Robinson as the days go by.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You're sacrificing team-mates left, right and centre.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Well, we'll sell it anyway. And here it comes.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Early Victorian rosewood sarcophagus-shape tea caddy.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30There he is. 141. I have commission interest. Going to start at £20.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34And I'm looking for 2. 22. 24. 26.
0:24:34 > 0:24:3628. 30. 2. 34.
0:24:36 > 0:24:3836 here. 38. Bids here at 38.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42It's going up...! £40? 42. 44. 46.
0:24:42 > 0:24:4448. £46 with the gentleman.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Who's £48? Any more? 48. 50. 5?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50No. 50 standing. Who's 5?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53£50 and selling.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Did he do it for 50?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58He did it for 50. That is minus £10.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- You made the right decision. - Well done, chaps.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I feel awful, though. I'm sorry.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Don't feel awful! You made the right decision. - You did make the right decision.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09You've made right decisions throughout, which is brilliant.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Anyway, don't tell the Reds a thing, all right?- We won't.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14All will be revealed later.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16So, it's a winning profit of £15 for the Blues
0:25:16 > 0:25:20because remember the Reds came in at a £1 loss.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24In a moment our next pair of teams fight it out,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27but first, do I hear the rumble of distant gunfire?
0:25:27 > 0:25:30I've come to Quex House just outside Canterbury in Kent.
0:25:30 > 0:25:37John Powell Powell built the Regency house that we see today that is Quex.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39He was High Sheriff of Kent,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44and when he wasn't busy building, he was a keen yachtsman.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46He was also incredibly keen
0:25:46 > 0:25:50on collecting things with naval connections.
0:25:50 > 0:25:57He had the largest collection of cannon, for example, anywhere in the United Kingdom.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Impressive, hey?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Well, if you're impressed by that, you ain't seen nothing yet.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24In the hallway of the house at Quex, we've got yet another cannon.
0:26:24 > 0:26:31It's not as large or as impressive as the ones outside, but it is important, historically speaking.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36This is a British military cannon that was made in 1797,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and it was captured by Napoleon in Egypt.
0:26:40 > 0:26:47In 1801, the British recaptured this cannon at the Battle of Aboukir.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52It's no wonder it's a star piece of Powell Powell's collection.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59Now, we know that Powell Powell was incredibly keen on yachting,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and these are a rare survival
0:27:02 > 0:27:07of what could be described as sailor's spectacles.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11The frames are solid silver, being made in the 1820s,
0:27:11 > 0:27:16and these side panels are designed to stop any spray or gusts of wind
0:27:16 > 0:27:21going across the wearer's face making their eyes water.
0:27:21 > 0:27:26What makes my eyes water, though, is this very rare survival.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29This thing is made of solid silver.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34It was made by Eames and Barnard and hallmarked in 1820.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36But what is it, though?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Well, in the days of no radio telephones, and you wanted to
0:27:40 > 0:27:42communicate with another vessel when at sea,
0:27:42 > 0:27:46say half a mile away across the choppy water,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49what the skipper would have done
0:27:49 > 0:27:54is raise this to his lips and said, "Come in, number 37!"
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Which is a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:28:03Of course, the big question today is, are our teams' ships going to come in over at the auction?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Get me out of here!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Splice the mainbrace, it's round two
0:28:08 > 0:28:11and back at Detling, we have two new teams ready to do battle.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16For the Reds, we have Krista and Margaret,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18whose husbands are cousins,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and for the Blues, we have brothers, Lech and Slav.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23ALL: Hello, Tim!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27How lovely! Now Krista, where were you originally from?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I'm from Germany.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- And why are you here?- Well, I came to England to learn the language.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- Yes?- And the second day I came here I met my husband
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- and I've been with him ever since. - Well, isn't that lovely!
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- So, Margaret, you're retired? - I am.- But what did you do before you retired?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Oh, various things in my past.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I've worked in a bank, which was exceedingly interesting(!)
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I've worked with my husband on the farm.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55We ran a small business for a while. and latterly,
0:28:55 > 0:29:00in the last few years I worked for the local county newspaper, the Kent Messenger.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Very good. What sort of items are you going to be looking out for today?
0:29:05 > 0:29:11Well, I quite like cut glass or silver or something that catches my eye, really.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- I've nothing specific in mind. - So you're quite a magpie!- Ahh!
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Anyway, very good luck! Now, for these rather tall boys.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Slav and Lech, they're unusual names. Where are you from originally, you chaps?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27We're from Poland, second generation Polish stock.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29And Slav, what do you get up to?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- I'm a student, doing a Masters in Chinese Studies.- Are you?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36It says here you're 26 years of age and still a student?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Gladly so, gladly so!
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Now, Lech, you're also a student. What are you studying?
0:29:41 > 0:29:45I'm doing Politics and International Relations at Manchester University,
0:29:45 > 0:29:46the good one, not ManMet.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- HE LAUGHS - I see!
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Now when you're not working hard at university,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52what do you like to get up to?
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Well, I'm into sort of current affairs, fitness training and whenever possible, chess.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Especially for the chess when I was younger,
0:30:00 > 0:30:05my school won a tournament, the National Tournament, the under-11s Bishop Challoner,
0:30:05 > 0:30:09and that kind of developed into a more serious hobby.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Tell us about the championship when you had a problem?- A problem?
0:30:12 > 0:30:18Oh, about two, three months ago, there was a tournament at the Manchester City Stadium.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24They'd won four matches and I got disqualified because I made a move with my left hand,
0:30:24 > 0:30:29but I pushed the stop clock with my right and that was against chess protocol,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31so unfortunately, I lost the match.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35There was a bit of a verbal exchange and, unfortunately, the adjudicator heard
0:30:35 > 0:30:39and I think I'm the only person to be expelled from a chess tournament
0:30:39 > 0:30:41for "intolerable behaviour".
0:30:41 > 0:30:47Ahh. Now, you girls, do you think you're going to be able to teach these boys a trick or two, or not?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Ooh, I don't know. We might. - I think we might.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now, the money moment,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54the moment you've been waiting for. Your £300 a piece, here's your £300.
0:30:54 > 0:31:00You know the rules, your experts await and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07For one hour only, our experts will share their pearls of antiques wisdom
0:31:07 > 0:31:11with their teams to help them find three of the best buys around.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Probably not for us. - Definitely not for us!
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- James?- Where's Lech gone?
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Could the Blues have earmarked a potential item already?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Where's Lech?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29May we see one of the bookmarks please, sir?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33I've got my glass here. Thank you. Do you know what this is?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Mini... - For very small pieces of cake?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Well, it's actually a little bookmark that sits on the page.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44On the back of here, we've got silver hallmarks.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Sorry?- It's 1876.- 1876?
0:31:47 > 0:31:52so it's a nice Victorian one, OK, and the marks are still really clear on there.
0:31:52 > 0:31:57- Do you think the handle was original?- I would have thought so. - See, I think that's really sweet.
0:31:57 > 0:32:03You've got Victorian silver, with a lovely little sort of spiral-turned handle there.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- That's very nice, quite luxurious.- Elegant.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09It's quite a good thing to buy as a present for somebody.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13It's a little, affordable piece of Victorian silver, if you like.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15What can you do for us on that, sir?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I've got 45. I'll need 35 on that.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20What do you think about that, guys?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Yep.- I'm sold.
0:32:22 > 0:32:2326?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- 28.- 28? That seems a fair price.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Happy?- Very.- I'd be very happy with that.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35That was quick work, chaps.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38OK, if you want to get a picture, we'll look for a picture.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41With their first item in the bag and 50 minutes of looking time left,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43it could be a cruise for the Blues.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48What I was looking at is the amount of detail because these are founded,
0:32:48 > 0:32:51you know, they're cast and then they have to be finished.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57This is obviously the tattoos here and he's playing sort of football...
0:32:57 > 0:32:58Football, yes.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02But that's definitely got some age.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04It's the figure itself I rather like.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- It's got some movement, hasn't it? - Yes.- It has movement, yes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I think somebody has brought it back from their travels.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13But would it go in England, do you think? Would it go here?
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- Would we be able to sell it?- Yeah. I think it's quite a bizarre thing.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19There's a lot of people collect oriental art.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- What do you think? - It's an attractive piece.- Yeah.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Shall we go for this one?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Let's see what he can do. - See what we can get.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31After some brief negotiations, they settled on £45.
0:33:31 > 0:33:37Huh! Will the Blues stay ahead of the game or are the Reds about to lead the way?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Inspiration, James.- Don't worry.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- You wanted to buy a new picture? - We did indeed!- Absolutely!
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- And I've found you one!- Fantastic!
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- This way!- Let's check it out!
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Too much?- Far too much, really.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- It's brand new.- No use at all.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53This is plastic.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02It's bizarre. You'll find one stall that reflects what you really want to buy...
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- That you like, yes. - ..and you'll buy two items from it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11What's caught Kate's eye is a picture by Italian-born artist Franco Matania.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Wow!- OK.- Wow! - What do you think of her?
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- Does she tick the box?- She is what we're looking for.- Exactly!
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- She is actually really nicely delineated.- Yes.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26He's got the anatomy beautifully, I think,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29he's got her collar bones here really well.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32He's got the breasts nicely, even a hint of her ribs under here.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Very sensual.- It is, isn't it?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- I like that. When I woke up today, I thought, "I hope I find one of those."- Indeed.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42What was the price for that? Did you enquire?
0:34:42 > 0:34:48- Right, well, the price tag is... Have a little look. £140.- OK.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54Now I think at auction...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- I could see her making £100, certainly.- Yes.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01But the lower price we can get that's reasonable, the more chance we've got of making a profit,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03so why don't we have a word with our stallholder?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Excuse me, madam, what's your best price on this?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- £100.- 100?
0:35:09 > 0:35:1295 for cash?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- £100, well, 100 is fair enough. That's what the lady says.- Good try!
0:35:15 > 0:35:18What do you think, guys? Are you happy with that?
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Very, very happy.- I think we could get lucky with this one.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24I think it is a little bit of a gamble,
0:35:24 > 0:35:28but I think with a little bit of luck, the right person might be there on the day. Are you happy?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Let's do it.- Let's do it. - OK, let's do the deal. Thank you very much.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Well, that took long enough. Their searching seems to have paid off,
0:35:37 > 0:35:42but with the minutes ticking, the Reds make a bee-line for a shiny stall.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46You see you get something like that and this cake basket is plated.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48It's got a nice shape to it, hasn't it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Sort of slightly lobed, isn't it? Melony-shaped.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55and what lifts it slightly is this crest,
0:35:55 > 0:35:59so it was made for somebody semi-important.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01It's a nicely made bit of plate
0:36:01 > 0:36:04but plate isn't doing terribly well at the moment.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- No. No.- I quite like those. - Yes, they are nice.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- What about that?- What have you found? We might be able to buy our two items on this stall.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14The three bits of French silver you can have for 100.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18So they're French silver, so they haven't got English hallmarks.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21And they are very pretty. Very, very decorative.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I like the way that's got the stopper as well. It's still there.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- And let's see that one.- That one.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Very nice.- They're lovely. - So it just needs a stopper in there.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Could you do 95 on that and 45 on that?
0:36:35 > 0:36:36I'm sorry, I can't do that.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- OK, that's the best, so what do you think?- I think they're good.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- £100 for this?- Yes. - £50 for this?- OK, yeah.- Done.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- You don't want a horrible plated kettle for 20, do you?- No, thank you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52Our James must be psychic!
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Just like he predicted, the girls bought two items from one stall.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00With just five minutes remaining, I think the Blues might need a hand.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Luck, bless your heart!
0:37:02 > 0:37:06See, that's how the pros do it. Done!
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Thank you very much indeed. - You're more than welcome.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13I don't know much about it, but it's got Tim's backing. We're going to have to get in there!
0:37:13 > 0:37:16You say you don't know much about it, right?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19I don't know so much about it. All I know is that that is an icon.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Is that not an icon? Off a belter of a car!- You bet it is!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Now, before the War, if you could have possibly owned an American car,
0:37:27 > 0:37:32you would have hit the golden load, right? You were an "it" person.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36They were enormous, those Cadillacs, Pontiacs...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Absolutely!- From a great period.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43It says "speed", but it also says "elegance", which we don't often have together these days, do we?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- We don't. Go and have a drill. - Awesome!
0:37:46 > 0:37:49What a great buy, even if I do say so myself!
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I think, for 20 quid, that's a jolly good buy,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55and I reckon we ought to reimburse Tim and say that's our third item.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- What do you think?- 100%.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00This is... If you've got any masculine issues,
0:38:00 > 0:38:01having this on your car
0:38:01 > 0:38:05will certainly help attract the ladies, put it that way.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10HE SPEAKS POLISH
0:38:10 > 0:38:14HE SPEAKS GERMAN
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Which for those of us who clearly don't speak Polish or German,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22means "time's up". Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26The Reds kicked off to a steady start.
0:38:26 > 0:38:31After 15 minutes they bought the Burmese bronze figure for £45.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35With a large chunk of their time gone, the silver fruit basket
0:38:35 > 0:38:37took a small bite out of their budget at £50.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40And with pressure mounting, they went for a double whammy
0:38:40 > 0:38:47and bought the French silver bottles from the same stall. They cost £100.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Now, did you have a good time shopping?- We certainly did. - Wonderful!- Very interesting.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Now, Krista, which is your favourite piece?- The silver bowl.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58The silver bowl. What about you, Mags?
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I think possibly the dressing table set.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Dressing table set. Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- Yeah, the silver bowl.- The silver bowl.- That's your predictions.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11So anyway, you spent a magnificent £195, that's great.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17I'd like £105 of leftover lolly going straight to James Braxton for the bonus buy.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Have you got any idea what you'll spend your 105 on?
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Yes. I think it will be something silvery.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25There's a hint, girls. Off you go, James, and good luck.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32The Victorian bookmark appealed to those studious boys,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34and what a quick buy it was!
0:39:34 > 0:39:36They agreed on £28.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38The boys knew exactly what they were looking for
0:39:38 > 0:39:41and after a furious 30 minutes of hunting, they found her.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45The painting set them back £100.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49With five minutes to go, and a helping hand from yours truly,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52they got the chrome car mascot for a steal, at £20.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Did you have a good time? - Fantastic.- Fantastic.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- You're right up there, aren't you? - Tops.- Which is your favourite piece?
0:40:01 > 0:40:02Undoubtedly the mascot.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Our mascot!
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- The mascot.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Do you agree with that, Lech?- 100%.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Isn't it lovely having these two brothers welded from the hip!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Right, you spent £148, which is vaguely miserable.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22and we'll have £152 of leftover lolly. There you go, Kate.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- Thank you.- Did you have a good time with these boys?
0:40:24 > 0:40:29We were under pressure, weren't we? It wasn't really a sedate gamble round the fair.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- But you succeeded, didn't you? - I think we got it in the bag in the end.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Yes. What are you going to do with all that cash?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39I'm going to buy something arty. I think these are arty fellows.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42You trained as an accountant, but I think he has a strong arty streak.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Very good luck with that, Kate. Splendid.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59So, we've moseyed south for half an hour from Detling to Canterbury,
0:40:59 > 0:41:03to Canterbury Auction Galleries with our auctioneer today, Michael Roberts.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- How are you?- Very well, thank you.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08The Red Team, Margaret and Krista,
0:41:08 > 0:41:12their first item is this Burmese footie fellow here.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Yeah.- So what do you make of him?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Well, it's a nicely-cast figure.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19It's not football, it's actually a Buddhist game called chinlone.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Chinlone?- They play with a rattan ball, and they keep the ball
0:41:22 > 0:41:28in the air and you're awarded on your skill and being able to keep the game going.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33- It is a nicely cast bronze, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.- Well, well done for doing the research on that.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37So what's this Burmese ritual dancer worth, then?
0:41:37 > 0:41:44- We're going to try him at £70 to £100.- 70 to 100?- Yeah.- They only paid £45.- That's all right, then.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- Now that is a really good estimate, Mike.- Do you think?- Yes!
0:41:49 > 0:41:54Next is this fruit bowl in plate, not quite as exciting an object, I suspect?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Not really. It's an old item,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00it's old-fashioned now in terms of people don't really use them much.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- So what do you think it's worth, Mike?- £40 to £60.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- OK. Well, they only paid £50. - Fine, just the job, yeah.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11- What about these dressing table bottles?- Well, the little one,
0:42:11 > 0:42:16which is the lead item, the French one there, has a guarantee mark on the side
0:42:16 > 0:42:20to say it is French. It's superb engraving cutting on the side,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24but it probably would have come out of a dressing case.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29It lacks its stopper and again, similar to the basket, it's a redundant-type item.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32With the other couple, we've estimated them at £60 to £80.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- 60 to 80 for the lot?- Yeah. - Well, they paid £100. Right...
0:42:35 > 0:42:38So maybe the profit they're going to make on this Burmese bloke
0:42:38 > 0:42:42is going to evaporate in the scent bottle!
0:42:42 > 0:42:47Anyway, one way or the other, they could well need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Well, you girls, you spent £195.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54You left James £105 of leftover lolly for the bonus buy.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56What's the bonus buy, James?
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Here you are.- Aah!
0:42:58 > 0:42:59A lovely, luxury good.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01An Asprey's box, white onyx,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04nice malachite little thumb-piece there...
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- How much did you pay for it?- £80.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- Will we make money on it?- Will it make us a profit?- I don't know.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13What would you put in it?
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- Originally it was for cigarettes. - Cigarettes?
0:43:16 > 0:43:20But it's a lovely, beautifully-made item and it's...
0:43:20 > 0:43:24- And Asprey's are quite well-known, aren't they?- They are.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- I've seen stuff of theirs. - I'm sure they'd love your comments!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31They're well made. Everybody will buy this!
0:43:31 > 0:43:36On that happy note, why don't we find out from the auctioneer what he thinks.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41- Well, that's cute, isn't it? Very clean.- It is.
0:43:41 > 0:43:47- It's a lovely gent's accessory. It's by a fabulous maker, Asprey, or retailer, rather.- Yeah, good.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51It's a good, clean box, you don't have to be a smoker to use it,
0:43:51 > 0:43:55you can put your studs, cufflinks in it.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Anyway, James Braxton rates it. What's your estimate?- £50 to £70.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01- Really? He paid 80!- Oh, dear.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:44:03 > 0:44:08Now, the Blues, Lech and Slav. Their first item is this little bookmark,
0:44:08 > 0:44:12which was picked by Kate.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16I don't know if you've been able to decipher these tiny little hallmarks.
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Indeed, Victorian marks, Birmingham 1876.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Oh, brilliant, brilliant!
0:44:21 > 0:44:25But overall, it's kind of an insignificant thing, really.
0:44:25 > 0:44:29Yeah, but, you know, size isn't everything, is it?
0:44:29 > 0:44:30So what do we think it might be worth?
0:44:30 > 0:44:33Well, I'm thinking between £15 and £20.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35- OK, fine. £28 Kate paid. - OK, fine.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't get between 30 and 40, frankly.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Yeah, I hope so, yeah.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44So what about this... I suppose it is a woman, is it?
0:44:44 > 0:44:49Well, it's by a well-known artist, a family of artists, Matania.
0:44:49 > 0:44:54I suppose it's nicely done, perhaps to cater for all tastes, maybe.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Yes. So what's your estimate on it?
0:44:57 > 0:45:00£80 to £120.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02- 80 to 120?- Yep.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Fine, well Kate fancied it, she paid £100.- Good.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Next is the car mascot.
0:45:07 > 0:45:12I have no idea which motor car it came off. Have you been able to find out anything about it?
0:45:12 > 0:45:16- Apparently it's from a 1954 Chrysler Type I.- Oh, great!
0:45:16 > 0:45:20But yeah, it's very decorative sort of Art Deco styling...
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- Menacing, don't you think? - I suppose it could be.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- So what is it worth? - Well, it is pitted.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32- The chrome has bubbled and it's a bit damaged and... - Period wear, I'd say!
0:45:32 > 0:45:36Yes, but collectors are looking for something in good condition!
0:45:36 > 0:45:39It's pitted! OK, you're right, it's pitted.
0:45:39 > 0:45:44So as it is, I think we're looking at sort of £30 to £50, really.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48- I'd be delighted if we get £30 to £50. We only paid £20 for it.- OK.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53So if old doo-dah up there, if that does well, and I quite fancy that bookmark,
0:45:53 > 0:45:56this team might not need their bonus buy,
0:45:56 > 0:45:59but just to be safe, perhaps we ought to go and have a look at it.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03So, boys, you spent £148,
0:46:03 > 0:46:07which means you gave Kate £152 to spend on her bonus buy.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09What did she spend it on?
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Now, I know that you like the female form in art,
0:46:13 > 0:46:19so, what I've got you is a rather lovely sculpture, I think.
0:46:19 > 0:46:24She is, of course, a lovely ballet dancer and she's done in resin.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27This is by a chap called Josep Bofill, his name's down here.
0:46:27 > 0:46:31He's Spanish. He was born in 1942,
0:46:31 > 0:46:34so this is a contemporary piece, I would say probably '60s.
0:46:34 > 0:46:40I spent £110, which is quite a lot for a bonus buy.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- I'm going to hand it over because my arm is falling off! - Shall we take it off you?
0:46:44 > 0:46:47- It's a very elegant pose. - What do you think, Tim?
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Don't ask me! My lips are sealed!
0:46:50 > 0:46:53- It's elegant. - We'll have a think about it, I think.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Yeah, definitely!
0:46:55 > 0:46:59You don't have to decide right now, just think it through, all right?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02You'll decide after the sale of your first three items,
0:47:02 > 0:47:04but right now, for the viewers at home,
0:47:04 > 0:47:08let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the sculpture.
0:47:08 > 0:47:09It's pretty horrible, isn't it?
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Well, I suppose Josep Bofill thought it was rather good!
0:47:13 > 0:47:17Anyway, he thought it was a nice thing to make in resin
0:47:17 > 0:47:21with a lump of concrete. What does "resin" mean - plastic?
0:47:21 > 0:47:24Pretty much, yeah. The chemical composition obviously varies
0:47:24 > 0:47:27but, fundamentally, that's what it is.
0:47:27 > 0:47:32The big question is, will this concrete and plastic jobby sell?
0:47:32 > 0:47:38- Well, we've estimated it pretty lowly at sort of £20 to £30...- Yes.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42But it comes down to whether or not anyone fancies it.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44- Kate paid £110 for this object! - Ouch.
0:47:44 > 0:47:49OK? With any luck, the team won't select it when it comes to the bonus buy moment.
0:47:54 > 0:47:57So, Margaret and Krista, here we are on the edge of the auction.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00- How exciting is this?- Ooh it is! - It is exciting!- Wonderful!
0:48:00 > 0:48:04- And have you seen such a crowd of people, it's jammed!- That's amazing!
0:48:04 > 0:48:09- Well, they've all come here to buy your items. How are you feeling, Krista, all right?- Fine. Excited!
0:48:09 > 0:48:13- What about you, Mags?- Uncontrollably excited!- Are you?- Yes.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15Control yourself slightly!
0:48:15 > 0:48:19- What about you, James? Are you feeling uncontrollable? - Well, always nervous.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21A lot of responsibility on this one, but heartened -
0:48:21 > 0:48:25like the good old days, a full room!
0:48:25 > 0:48:27First up is the Burmese figure. Here it comes.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30The Burmese bronze figure of a man playing chinlone.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32Who will start me at £50?
0:48:32 > 0:48:38- £50 I'm bid, thank you. And 5 where?- It's 55 now, 55, 60, 5...
0:48:38 > 0:48:41- Oh, yes!- 70, 5...- Go on!
0:48:41 > 0:48:45- No?- 70.- At 70 and selling.
0:48:45 > 0:48:49- £70.- Still...- Well done! - Profit.- £25. Plus £25.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Now, the cake basket.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55Showing for you there, lot 26, I have commission interest.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59I'm going to start at £30, looking for 32. Who's 32 now?
0:48:59 > 0:49:0232, 34, 36, 38,
0:49:02 > 0:49:0640, 42, 44, 46 here, 48.
0:49:06 > 0:49:08- With you at 48. Who's £50?- Go on!
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Go on, come on, come on!
0:49:11 > 0:49:13No? 48 and selling.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16£48. You're £2 shy on that.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Look up, here come the dressing table pieces.
0:49:18 > 0:49:23Lot 27 is the French-cut glass and triple scent bottles.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Lot 27, I have commission interest again.
0:49:25 > 0:49:30We'll start at £50, looking for 55. Who's 55, now?
0:49:30 > 0:49:3355 where? 55, 60 here, and 5?
0:49:33 > 0:49:35With you at 65. Who's 70 now?
0:49:35 > 0:49:38- Go on.- Yes!- 5, 80...- Come on!
0:49:38 > 0:49:415? Nope? At 80 behind, who's £85?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43- 80 and selling.- Oh, no!
0:49:43 > 0:49:48£80. You're minus 20 on that, which means overall you're plus £3.
0:49:48 > 0:49:53- We can go out!- You've got £3 on this, right?
0:49:53 > 0:49:56What are you going to do about the Asprey's box?
0:49:56 > 0:50:00I think we probably need to bank it, James.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03OK, fine, we're not going with the bonus buy,
0:50:03 > 0:50:05but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Lot 31 is the white onyx square cigarette box,
0:50:09 > 0:50:13retailed by Asprey, showing for you there.
0:50:13 > 0:50:17Who'll start me at £30? Useful little box, this, £30 I'm bid.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21Who's 32? 32 for someone? £32 where?
0:50:21 > 0:50:2532, 34, 36, 38, 40, and 2?
0:50:25 > 0:50:3144, 46, 48, 50, 5, 60, 5,
0:50:31 > 0:50:3670, 5, 80...5, 90? No?
0:50:36 > 0:50:38- 85. Who's £90, any more?- Oh!
0:50:38 > 0:50:41- At 85 and selling.- James!- £85. - Did you make a profit?- Yeah. £5!
0:50:41 > 0:50:44That is plus £5...
0:50:44 > 0:50:47which, sadly... is not your £5 profit!
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Aww, what a pity, but never mind, we're still...
0:50:51 > 0:50:56Never mind. Well done. Great taste, James, as usual.
0:50:56 > 0:51:01- Now, you have an overall profit of £3. Don't tell the Blue Team and we'll catch up later, OK?- OK.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09Lech and Slav, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:51:09 > 0:51:12No, they didn't give anything away on the way past.
0:51:12 > 0:51:14- We're pleased about that. - Very good poker-faces!
0:51:14 > 0:51:17- How are you feeling yourselves? - I'm feeling absolutely great.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- Do you feel confident?- I think we've got some interesting stuff.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24But is it going to make a big profit?
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- We want our Del-Boy moment. - Del-Boy moment!- We're gonna get it!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31I like that! This is full of confidence.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33Anyway, first lot up is the bookmark.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36Victorian silver knife patterned bookmark.
0:51:36 > 0:51:40I have commission interest. Start at £18. Looking for 20?
0:51:40 > 0:51:4320 I'm bid, behind you. 22, 24,
0:51:43 > 0:51:4726, 28, 30 here and 2. 34, sir?
0:51:47 > 0:51:51- 36, 38, 40?- Keep going!
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Yes, 42?
0:51:53 > 0:51:58- Yes!- 44? Behind. 46, 48, 50, 55.
0:52:00 > 0:52:0460? No? 55 behind. Who's £60? Any more?
0:52:04 > 0:52:07At £55 and selling.
0:52:07 > 0:52:10£55! That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14That's £27 up before you start.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17Well done, Kate. Now, here comes the nude.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20The lady there.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Reserve judgment. Lot 48, I have commission interest.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27I'll start at £40. Who's 42 now?
0:52:27 > 0:52:31£42 where? 42, 44, 46, 48,
0:52:31 > 0:52:3450, 5, 60, 5, 70?
0:52:34 > 0:52:39With you at £70. Who's five now? 75, 80.
0:52:39 > 0:52:425, 90, 5. 100? No?
0:52:42 > 0:52:46- 95 here. Who's £100? Any more? - Come on!
0:52:46 > 0:52:48- £95 and selling.- Oh, bad luck.
0:52:48 > 0:52:52£95, just shy by a fiver which is nothing!
0:52:52 > 0:52:56You're still plus 22. Here we go with the car mascot.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01Mascot from the 1954 Chrysler Type I.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Lot 49, who's £20?
0:53:04 > 0:53:09£20, where? The car mascot? 20 I'm bid, thank you. 22 now?
0:53:09 > 0:53:13Any more at 22? 22, 24, 26, yes?
0:53:13 > 0:53:1728, 30, 2, 34,
0:53:17 > 0:53:2036, 38, 40, 42, no?
0:53:20 > 0:53:2440 at the back. Who's £42? Any more? 40 and selling.
0:53:24 > 0:53:29- £40, double your money.- Thanks to Tim.- Plus £20 on that! Well, no!
0:53:29 > 0:53:32All that research made all the difference!
0:53:32 > 0:53:34Overall you are plus £42.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38That is a very good position to be in.
0:53:38 > 0:53:43Now, what are you going to do about the resin sculpture?
0:53:43 > 0:53:48We're only on the show once, aren't we? £42 is nothing to be sniffed at.
0:53:48 > 0:53:52- I think we should play it safe. - Do you want to play it safe?
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I think we'll play it safe.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57- Are you going to play it safe? - And watch from a distance!
0:53:57 > 0:53:59- Are you quite sure? - You do what you think is right.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03- Here it comes. - Lot 53, who'll start me at £20?
0:54:03 > 0:54:06£20 where? 20 I'm bid, thank you.
0:54:06 > 0:54:0922 where? Who's 22 now?
0:54:09 > 0:54:1422, 24, 26, 28, 30, and 2?
0:54:14 > 0:54:1834, 36, 38, 40, 42?
0:54:18 > 0:54:2040 here, £42, anyone?
0:54:20 > 0:54:2542, 44, 46, 48,
0:54:25 > 0:54:2850, and 5, no?
0:54:28 > 0:54:3250 at the back. Who's £55? Any more? We're going to sell at £50.
0:54:32 > 0:54:37£50, he sold it for £50 very quickly there. That is minus £60.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Do you know something? I think you made the right decision!
0:54:40 > 0:54:43Yeah, you could say that!
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Minus £60. Well, bad luck, Kate!
0:54:45 > 0:54:48It's a very strange thing, though, isn't it?
0:54:48 > 0:54:52What would go well in one sale room or in another. It's terribly difficult.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55It was a gamble, and you made the right decision! Well done, guys!
0:54:55 > 0:54:57It was a very interesting punt,
0:54:57 > 0:55:00but overall you are plus £42, so don't say a word to the Reds.
0:55:00 > 0:55:05- We will reveal all in a moment. - Right.- Fantastic!
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Well, what a happy tribe of people we've got today,
0:55:12 > 0:55:16as we ought to because we've got two teams of winners.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19- Have you had a good time, Reds? - Yeah, wonderful!- Blues?
0:55:19 > 0:55:23RAPPING: Strolling around Looking for a bargain.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26- Can't find nothing but second-hand jargon.- It is...- Plain to see
0:55:26 > 0:55:30- We're the epitome of buying frenzy. - So they'll be no limit to our profits gain.
0:55:30 > 0:55:33Cos bid, or no bid BOTH: We're here to get paid!
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Which, for a change, you are going to be paid today!
0:55:37 > 0:55:40And that doesn't happen often on Bargain Hunt.
