0:00:02 > 0:00:04MUSIC: "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf
0:00:04 > 0:00:07We've got miles of antiques to explore today
0:00:07 > 0:00:10and I'm going to need some help, so I'm going to put my foot down
0:00:10 > 0:00:11as we go bargain hunting! Ooh!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13# Born to be wild! #
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hello and welcome to Detling.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44We're at the Kent County Showground.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46There are literally hundreds of stalls
0:00:46 > 0:00:48for our teams to pick over for bargains.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54They're hard workers but will they be able to find those winning items?
0:00:56 > 0:01:03Our teams are each given £300 and an hour to find three items which are sold later at auction.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The team that makes the most profit wins.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Easy, isn't it? Well, you would say that, wouldn't you?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19Today, we've got Jane and Kerry, who are friends and workmates,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22and Dave and Darren, who are mates and occasionally work together.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- Hello, everybody. - Hello.- Hi, Tim.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Now, you two are friends and workmates. What exactly do you do?
0:01:29 > 0:01:36- We work for the Ambulance Service in HQ. I take the 999 calls and Jane dispatches the ambulances.- Do you?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- You take those 999 calls?- Yeah. - That must be distressing sometimes.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44- It can be.- Yeah. And, Jane, how long have you been working together?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46We've worked together for two years now.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49We met when we started our training and we've sort of remained
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- very good friends and work colleagues ever since.- Brilliant.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- And is Kerry nice to work around?- She's wonderful. She is our little ray of sunshine.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00- Aw!- We do very long hours... 12-hour shifts...
0:02:00 > 0:02:05and you can get very low during a shift and Kerry will start singing.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Will she?- She will. - Will she sing for us now?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- No.- No? She won't sing for us now? - No.- No?
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- And, Kerry, are you a collector? - Very keen on Mary Poppins.- Are you?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Yes.- It says here that you quote the film on a daily basis. Is that true?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23If everyone's got the 'ump with their job, you just say,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26"Well, in every job that must be done, there's an element of fun.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You find the fun and snap..." Just turn it into a game.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Brilliant. And, Jane, what do you collect?
0:02:32 > 0:02:38- I collect a bit of Doulton and I'm also very fond of Beswick and Whitefriars glass.- Are you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- What particular bits of Beswick do you like?- The flying birds.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Do you?- Yes. Coronation Street.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47So it's not just three going up your wall?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49No, there's rather a few more than three.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- A few flocks of birds? - A few flocks of birds.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Brilliant. And have you got any ideas about what you're going to be looking out for?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- We'll have to wait and see, Tim. - I know,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01but there's lots available of all sorts of things, so have a great time shopping.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Now for the boys.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06You both met at work, so what is it that you do?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- We're scaffolders, Tim.- Scaffolders? - Scaffolders, yeah.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So, Darren, you don't suffer from vertigo then?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- Not at all, Tim.- What's the tallest structure you've ever scaffolded?
0:03:16 > 0:03:20240ft is the tallest building I've ever been on and that was a chimney stack.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I was about 20 years old at the time, so it was a fair way back.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- And very fit.- At the time, yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Well, we watch you guys at it and I tell you, it is an art form.- Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yeah. Very, very difficult.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34You also enjoy watching the gees-gees I'm told.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I do like a flutter. It has been known.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- Had any big wins?- I've had a few. I won't say too many, cos my wife will probably be watching, so...
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- She'll say, "What did you do with the money?"- More than likely. I've done pretty well at it.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- And you like a bit of a gamble? - Oh, yeah, I do.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Well, you'll be great at Bargain Hunt.- Hopefully.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- David, you've got an accent that tells me you come from north of the border.- Yeah.- Whereabouts?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Ayr, on the west coast of Scotland. - But you've travelled around a bit, haven't you?- I have.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I've been fortunate enough to travel around the world a bit.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Where have you been? - On a kibbutz in Israel.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- Have you?- Yeah.- Growing avocados, I bet.- Growing avocados,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11tomatoes, onions, cotton, watermelons.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- Really?- Yeah.- Do you collect anything at all between you?
0:04:14 > 0:04:19I've got quite a substantial amount of fishing tackle at home.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Well, you never know what you're going to find out there.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25You describe yourselves as diamonds in the rough.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28You hoping to find any diamonds today?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- You never know. - You never know.- You never know. Anyway, it's the money moment.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- £300 apiece. Here you go, look. £300 coming up.- Thank you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Well, let's hope they don't have an emergency.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48But if they do have the need, they've always got their experts at hand.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57Just like Mary Poppins, James Braxton is flying high for the Reds.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And hoping to hammer out some bargains for the Blues
0:05:00 > 0:05:01is Kate Bliss.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05They've only got one hour and it starts now.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07This fair is jam packed with antiques,
0:05:07 > 0:05:12so the teams are going to have their work cut out and James has already spotted
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- an attractive item. - That figure's not a bad price, cos you've got 40 on it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18We could probably get it for 30.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Not that one, that one.- This one?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24But it's sculptural. It's hard-paste porcelain. It's quite big.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Who's it?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- No particular make? - No. It's made in Vienna.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So "Wien" is Austria.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- It's worth thinking about that. - Is it?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Yeah. Get it for 30.- Right.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39That's quite fun. Somebody would buy that.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Do you like it?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Yeah, it's different.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Let's have a look round.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52If we see something else that grabs our eye,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- it will give us purchasing power. - Yeah.- OK.- OK. Will do.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00I'm not sure the Reds are as keen on the figure as you, James. But what's that the Blues have found?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Is it a cigar?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Cheap, innit?- Oh, yeah, look.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Cigar mould. It's a bit wacky, isn't it?
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Don't they roll them on virgins' knees, or thighs or whatever, isn't it? Isn't that what they do in Cuba?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Yeah.- They roll cigars on their legs. - They used to,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- but I don't think they do it any more, do they?- I'll look inside.
0:06:20 > 0:06:27The Red team seem to have forgotten about the erotic figure and have got their eye on something else.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Have you looked through them? - No.- Have a look through them.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Blimey!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Do I look better close up?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37No. I prefer this view.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41We have it at 30.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What do you think about that?
0:06:44 > 0:06:49I think when you look round the place, you'll realise that that's probably not a bad deal.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- All right, OK.- OK, yep.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Kerry likes these.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- They just took my eye. - They're not expensive.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- How much are they?- They're 15.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59- 15?- Mm.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Cheap as chips, aren't they?
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Paris made. Nicely done.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07"Le Jockey Club".
0:07:07 > 0:07:09So racing...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11And they still work.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- And they've been well used, haven't they?- Absolutely.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Let's see if we can get them for a fiver.- We can do a deal...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22I mean, these are fairly old.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- It has to have some date to them. - Yeah. They're 19th century.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- Yeah.- They're nicely made. "Made in Paris".- Yeah.- "Jockey Club".
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I don't think... That was probably a brand sort of name.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35But if we buy them cheap enough...
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- If you bought them for a fiver... - Yeah.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41The Reds are trying to get a good deal on the binoculars,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- but the Blues seem to think it's just a game.- Anyone for tennis?
0:07:45 > 0:07:49You could buy everything, couldn't you?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Horrible.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Just trying to be helpful.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Do you want to have a look in here?
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- Let's have a look.- Whilst the Blues are mucking about, James has got some news for the Reds.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01I've tracked down the fellow.
0:08:01 > 0:08:08- He says he will do them at £5. - Yeah, brilliant.- Do you want to go for that?- Yeah.- Definitely.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- £5.- I don't think we can go wrong with that.- No.- Well, you wait till the auction!- Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Oh, that's nice. I like that.- It's all right, innit?- I like that. - What have you got?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It's actually what we call in our world a "bubble".
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- We call it a "bubble".- Oh, do you? - It's a spirit level, but we call it a bubble.- We call it a bubble.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- You say, "Pass us the bubble, mate?"- That's it.- That's right.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41- See, I could be your building buddy, couldn't I?- Want a job?- Yeah, you could do.- I like that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Couldn't do worse than some people we know.- It's still got the bubble.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- It works.- I can see you like practical things.- Yeah. - What kind of wood is that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Let's have a little look.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52It's been stained, hasn't it?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54It could be wear, couldn't it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Do you know, it's been really nicely handled.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's been in people's pockets and it's been handled.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Nice thing. I think that that may well be...difficult to tell in that light...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- but I think it might be a bit of rosewood, you know, guys.- Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14The good thing about this is that we've got the name on it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16It's not just any old spirit level.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18You've got a nice name there.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20"Lewis and Co, Sheffield".
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Do you know what date it would be then, Kate?- Mm, I would say...
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- 1900.- Yeah? That old?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Do you think there's a profit in it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, we've got £15 on that.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37It's not going to make a fortune at auction, but it's not priced very highly.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39How much would you pay for it?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I'd like it for a fiver, I tell you, but...
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Why don't we have a chat with them and see what's the best they can do.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49You stay here. Have another look while I just go and have a chat.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Kate remained level headed, ha, and got the bubble for a tenner.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Now, I've got a small conundrum. It's not personal.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Today's mystery piece. What is this?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Well, it's made of bronze
0:10:03 > 0:10:05and, if you look carefully,
0:10:05 > 0:10:11round the outside it's cast with a series of archaic designs
0:10:11 > 0:10:12which are Chinese.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14This is a piece of bronze
0:10:14 > 0:10:19that could have been made in China 1,000 years ago.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23It could have been made in China 100 years ago.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29It's got a socket and that's made to receive a wooden handle.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Out to about here.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36So, the question is, what was it used for?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Got any ideas?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40No idea at all?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, I'll put you out of your agony.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47What the Chinese would do is to put charcoal inside this thing.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52And if you look at the bottom, it's flat and extremely smooth.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Chinese iron.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00If you wanted to iron your silk robe in China,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03you put the hot charcoal in there, heated the whole thing up
0:11:03 > 0:11:07and you'd smooth it over the top of the garment
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and, hey presto, you've ironed your shirt.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16How much then for a non-electric, Chinese iron?
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Could be yours for 30 quid.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21It's about...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24two trips to launderette, I make.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So 15 minutes down and one item each.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33And it looks like James is after a new hat.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37And so what is this rather splendid-looking fellow?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38It's a...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40It's a posy vase really.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's a bit of a novelty posy vase, but it is a posy vase.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49Signed, dated '52.
0:11:49 > 0:11:511952? Year I was born.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And so was this a sort of model, a genre, of Holmegaard's thing?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Did they do lots of top hats?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02They did a fair range. I think that was more in the novelty field
0:12:02 > 0:12:06than some of their more serious glass, shall we say?
0:12:06 > 0:12:10They did a whole range of stuff
0:12:10 > 0:12:14throughout the '50s, '60s and, obviously, into the '70s.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15- Do you like it?- Yeah, I do.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21- It's got a lovely sort of pale-blue hue to it.- It has, hasn't it?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It looks perfect.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Well, it's absolutely perfect.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Lovely weight. Feel that. - It's beautiful.- Oh, it's absolutely superb quality.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Yeah. It's very typical, isn't it? Dickensian whimsy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37It's a good bit of fun. Bit kitsch, but it's a good bit of fun.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40If we're to make a profit, can we, you know?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42£30 would be the best.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- I was about to say that.- Done. - This man's ahead of me.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46- You like it?- I like it very much.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Yeah.- I think it's very unusual. - Kerry?- Yes. It's a nice piece.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Shake Peter's hand, do the deal. - Thank you, Peter.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So the teams are racing around.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03The Blues have two items to buy, but something tells me they're not taking Kate seriously.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Do you like that?- No.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Move on!
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Well, I've seen a little tea case. It's not exciting you, is it? - Not at all really, no.- No, it's not.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That is a very good point, David.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- It's horrible.- Isn't it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I get the message!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It seems so easy to you lot at home, doesn't it?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Relaxing on your settee, enjoying a nice cup of tea.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35But why don't you have a go at Bargain Hunt? Just email us at...
0:13:39 > 0:13:42OK, you can carry on with your tea now.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Mm.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Well, Kate can't! Ha! She's still trying to find something to grab the Blues' attention.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I tell you what, now what about this?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- This is a bit of class for you.- Mm.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Is it silver?- It is silver.- Yeah.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59It's a pretty good, solid box.
0:13:59 > 0:14:05- Originally made for cigarettes, but somebody could use it as a jewellery box...- Yeah.- ..you know, today.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's hallmarked here.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- What age is that?- I think it's... '40s,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13I would say.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Which area?- It's Birmingham.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17The thing I like about it...
0:14:17 > 0:14:23OK, you've got these initials on the top, but you've got this lovely little border running round here.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Almost sort of Celtic frieze. Have a look.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Do you like that?- It's not bad.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- It's nice.- It's not bad. It needs a good clean, doesn't it?- It does.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Once it's clean it'll look different. - Yeah, it will look stunning.- Will the initials let the price down?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I think... I mean, initials...
0:14:40 > 0:14:42It would be great if it wasn't personalised,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45but the way I look at it is, it's part of the history.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- That was given to somebody, probably a gent.- Yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53And that was his mark, and it's part of the history of the piece.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Some people don't mind that. - I suppose.- Once it's had a clean-up it will be OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I think it would look a lot better if it was clean, yeah.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Shall I find out how much it is? - Yeah.- OK. Hang on to it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Let's hope Kate gets a good price. After all, the Reds are already contemplating their final item.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Beautifully decorated.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18- It's got great presence! - Really like it.- I think it's a lovely object.- Beautiful.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It's like Marmite, innit? You either love that or hate it.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26We'll have a think. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31So whilst the Reds have a think about the pheasant,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Kate's been plucky with the £120 cigarette box.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37£80 we've come down to.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- That's better...- It's come down a little bit, hasn't it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Even if it makes £90, you're making a tenner at the end of the day?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- It's better than nothing. I reckon so, yeah. - Think it's worth a gamble?
0:15:47 > 0:15:52And once it's clean, that's going to look even better. I reckon so, Kate, yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- You might even make a little bit more.- Hopefully.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I don't think we'll make a fortune, but I think it's got a chance.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- We haven't seen anything else. - That's it, you know what I mean? So that's nice. Yeah.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Go on then, go and give him some notes.- Okey-dokey.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Let's look this way.
0:16:07 > 0:16:14So that's two-all, but the clock's still ticking and the Reds still have £260 in their pockets.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22- Isn't that funny. Look at that. - Very strange.- How much have you got on this fellow?- 60.
0:16:22 > 0:16:2460 at the moment.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- We've just come from one pheasant to another.- To another.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- What could you do?- 50.
0:16:29 > 0:16:3150? Well, that's another thought.
0:16:31 > 0:16:37So that's 50? But we have to quantify what it might make at auction.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39And that very green colour.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Our teams are still busy shopping, but when they've done,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53any leftover cash will be given to their expert to go off
0:16:53 > 0:17:00and find that surprise item, the bonus buy, which will be revealed to them at auction.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04If they decide to go with it and it makes a profit, that could be the making of them.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08If it loses, it could be the breaking of them.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Let's hope they have a smashing time.
0:17:10 > 0:17:17With only ten minutes left, both teams still have their final item to buy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- That is lovely. How much is that?- 700.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Ah! I asked for that.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25£125. Put the cow down.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31So as the Reds are taking it all in their stride, the Blues are struggling.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Different though, innit?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Looks as if it's about to fall to pieces!
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Mmm.- Would that sell or?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Mmm, not particularly.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- No.- I don't think it's for us. - No. OK.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- I don't even like it anyway.- No?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Where's Darren?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Oh! Shall we try in there?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55James has gone full circle and has ended up with the figurine,
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- but can he convince the Reds that she's a winner?- She's still there.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03We're coming back. Thank the Lord they haven't sold it to the Blues.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Yeah, definitely.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Shall we have another quick look, make sure.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- She's still beautiful. - I'll just have a quick look.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Always just sort of fingers and toes, isn't it really?- Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19She's got the correct amount of fingers, correct amount of toes, and it's fun.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25Whether she was a sort of ball dancer or something like that, I don't know. It's rather nice.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- James, is there any actual age to her?- There is a bit of age to it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's probably, probably...
0:18:32 > 0:18:37I'm sure I saw these sort of things coming into the auction room in the '80s and '90s.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40So it's in the last 20 years.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And it's quite fun. Now we've gone round the fair,
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- we're slightly armed with a better idea towards price and what you can get for your money.- Yep.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- If we weighed this up, say, with that pheasant we looked at.- Yes.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Which was expensive, wasn't it?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Yes. - A sculptural object.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01We're buying a sculptural object here for less money,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04but it's modern and there are pros and cons with everything.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09- Yes.- Yeah, definitely. - The lady's offered us £30 on this, which I think is fair.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Yeah. I don't think that's too bad at all, Kerry.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- No. I think go with it. - I think it's rather fun.- I do.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- She's lovely.- Yeah, definitely. - So first item we looked at, the third item we've bought.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- We're done, ahead of schedule. - Brilliant!
0:19:22 > 0:19:26The Reds have finished, with minutes to spare.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28But the Blues are still driving Kate wild.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- I'm trying hard, boys, I'm trying hard.- I know, I know.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Quite nice. - Nice if we could get a Hardy's book.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Is that what it is?
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Yeah.- What would that make at auction? Phh!
0:19:40 > 0:19:41What do you reckon?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- You're the fisherman! - I only eat it.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47What would you pay for that?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I don't know, cos I'm not... It's not something I would buy.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56There's no room for indecision in this game, but Kate's trying to get things moving along.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- 28.- 30 and that's it. - It's only two quid. - I didn't pay cheap for it, so...
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Well, boys, you heard it from the man. It's got to be 30.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Yeah, we'll go for it. What's that?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- What if we was to buy the reel and book?- And put it as one lot?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14It's an Allcock Redditch fly reel.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Is it old?- It's not bad. It's in good nick as well. 55 quid.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Would you prefer to go for the reel?- Maybe somebody don't want to buy the Hardy's book,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- but would want to buy the reel? - But then maybe they'd only pay 40, 50 quid.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32That's what you've got to take into account. Maybe somebody wants the reel but not the book.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Or somebody wants the book but don't want the reel. - I reckon take the gamble.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Do you want to put the flight in with the reel?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Here we go, let's just really complicate it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44It was already pretty complicated! With seconds left,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48the Blues need to make a decision, after all, the Reds are finished!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, I think you don't want the reel and the tin.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- I think £70 for those two is a lot.- Yeah.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58So I think if you're interested in the reel, just take the reel. £40 for the reel, with the name.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- It's in nice condition. - It is in nice condition.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- We'll go for the reel then. - I think that's a gamble. - I'm happy with that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- I get my thing and you don't get yours.- It doesn't matter. - I tell you what, I'm exhausted!
0:21:11 > 0:21:16So finally, they sealed the deal and got the fishing reel for £40.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19KLAXON SOUNDS
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Hello, time's up. Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Jane and Kerry spied the Parisian racing binoculars
0:21:27 > 0:21:31and got them down to a spectacular £5.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33They smartened up their act
0:21:33 > 0:21:38with the Scandinavian, Holmegaard top hat vase for £30.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41And she was the first item they spotted.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46The Art Deco Austrian porcelain figure of an erotic dancer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Jane, Kerry, did you have a good time?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Wonderful time, Tim. - Yeah. Pretty cheap though!- Very.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Probably the Holmegaard glass top hat.- That's your favourite.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- What about you, Kerry, for favourite?- The binoculars.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- The binoculars. Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit? - Her binoculars.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Hopefully.- And you think that too?
0:22:08 > 0:22:14Well, there's a lot riding on that, cos frankly you only spent a pathetic £65. I don't believe this.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20- I want £235 of leftover lolly. - Thank you.- Nearly a record total going over to you, James.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25- What have you been doing with these girls? - No, we've been spending prudently.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Very prudently. - It's what they call "tight"!
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Tight.- And you didn't need an ambulance or anything? - I was in safe hands.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- They would have talked me through any emergency.- Quite right.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- Are you going to blow that money on one item?- Well, it would be lovely.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Wouldn't that be great? - But I don't think I will.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- No, once you set a pattern of prudence, it's hard to get off again.- Yes.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Something silvery. - Something silvery? There's a hint there, girls.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Anyway, good luck with your silvery chase.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Let us remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01David and Darren were bubbling over with enthusiasm
0:23:01 > 0:23:05for the rosewood and brass spirit level, bought for £10.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Kate worked her magic
0:23:06 > 0:23:11and got the 1956 Birmingham, silver cigarette box down to £80.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And then finally, took the bait
0:23:15 > 0:23:18and decided on the Allcock brass fishing reel.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Was that great? - Lovely day.- Fantastic.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Very nice day out. - Which is your favourite, Darren?
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- I'd say mine's the spirit level, Tim.- Dave?- Oh, I'm biased. I've got to say the fly reel.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Fishing interest. Which piece will bring the biggest profit?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- Hopefully, the silver box. - Yeah, I have to agree. Definitely, the silver box, yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Silver box, brilliant. You spent £130, which is pretty modest.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- £170 of leftover lolly goes straight to Kate Bliss.- Thank you very much.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53- What are you going to do with that, Kate?- I might go for something a little fishy.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Fishy? Ooh, there you go.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Wasn't that lovely? Now, we're off somewhere equally lovely.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Quex House and Museum in Kent was home to naturalist
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and collector Major Percy Powell-Cotton,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25who went on no less than 28 scientific expeditions
0:24:25 > 0:24:31across Asia and Africa between 1887 and 1939.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37He brought back all sorts of extraordinary things here to his home in Kent.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42During the late Victorian era, it was extremely fashionable and a sign
0:24:42 > 0:24:49of wealth to decorate homes with oriental flair, which is exactly what Major Percy Powell-Cotton did.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And what a brilliant job he's done.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Just look at this.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04The drawing room was an add-on to the original Regency structure
0:25:04 > 0:25:06that had been built by the major's father.
0:25:06 > 0:25:13And his father had had the ceiling finished in this rather strange Egyptian style.
0:25:13 > 0:25:20The major himself set off on a world trip in 1887, a trip that was last three years.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26And everywhere he went, he picked something up to go into his collection or into the house.
0:25:26 > 0:25:32You can hardly believe it, but he ordered in Kashmir, in northern India,
0:25:32 > 0:25:39a whole series of intricately carved Kashmiri walnut panels to have fitted into this room.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Not only did they go around the window openings
0:25:43 > 0:25:50and the door surrounded, but the overmantel is covered in the stuff and also this dado rail.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Profusely carved with flowers and foliage,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57it's designed to contain these needleworked panels,
0:25:57 > 0:26:03panels that Powell-Cotton had picked up in Japan.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09Powell-Cotton didn't restrict himself to only buying when he was on his travels,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11on the hoof, so as to speak.
0:26:11 > 0:26:17He was endlessly acquiring objects at auction, for example, in Britain.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Here we've got a catalogue from a firm called Stevens and Co,
0:26:22 > 0:26:26who were having an auction in Covent Garden in 1912
0:26:26 > 0:26:31of Maori weapons, implements, ornaments and robes.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36The ledger underneath records some of the prices for things that he bought.
0:26:36 > 0:26:43For example, "A pair of red, lac armchairs, arms with dragons' heads."
0:26:43 > 0:26:45And here they are.
0:26:45 > 0:26:51A magnificent pair of red, lacquered armchairs carved out of katsura wood,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55which is a relatively soft and easily carved wood,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59but then covered in this ghoulish red lacquer.
0:26:59 > 0:27:06Just look at that squashed dragon's mask at the top, with the mother of pearl, beady eyes.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Gorgeous, scale-carved dragony frame
0:27:11 > 0:27:15with these dragon terminals sticking out on the ends.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Powell-Cotton paid for these £33.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23A snip, I'd say. Wouldn't you?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27The big question today is, of course, are any of our teams' snips
0:27:27 > 0:27:30going to make a profit over at the auction?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42I'm with Michael Roberts, our auctioneer
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- at Canterbury Auction Galleries in Canterbury. Hi, Mike.- Hi, Tim.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Now, our Red team today, their first item are the binoculars.- Mm.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54It says "Le Jockey Club" on them. So, presumably, they're French?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Well, that's the thinking, yes. They've had a bit of a hard life.
0:27:57 > 0:28:04They're brass which has been chromed and the leather's all worn off round the sides.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07So, unfortunately, not a lot of cop really.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- How much cop?- £5-10.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14£5-10 cop. Well, that's a fair cop, cop, cos they only paid a fiver.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- So that's not bad, is it?- No.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19If they could double their money, they'd be very pleased.
0:28:19 > 0:28:25I think they've spotted a winner there. What about the Scandinavian top hat vase?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28A nice thing. Quite nice quality.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30- I can date that. - How do you date that then?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33At the bottom you've got the mark of Holmegaard,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37which is the maker, and at the end of there you've got a few digits,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39ending with 52, which is the year.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45- We've learnt something there. What's it worth, this thing? - Well, £25-£35.- OK, fine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- £30 paid.- Right.- Jane found it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- She loves it, so I think that's a very good price actually.- Yeah.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Now, James found this girl.- Yep.
0:28:53 > 0:28:59- She's looking pleased with herself. - She'd brighten up my desk.- Yeah, brighten up anybody's desk!
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- How old is she?- Not very... - Round about 18?- Well, possibly.
0:29:02 > 0:29:07In terms of the figure itself, it's not terribly old at all.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11It's in the style Goldscheider, the Austrian, famed makers, but...
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- So it's a reproduction?- It is a reproduction and possibly Chinese or something like that.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- What's it worth? - My estimate's £30-£50.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- £30 paid.- Fine.- So that's pretty well on the button, isn't it?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Yes, great.- They've done rather well. They spent very little.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Which I get quite cross about, but they seem to have spent wisely.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33They probably won't need the bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Jane, Kerry, you spent a miserable £65. Can't believe this.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Giving James a whopping £235 to spend on your bonus buy.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47And rumour has it that he's blown the lot. Let's see what he's got you.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Ah...
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- That's small, James. - It is small. I'm very sorry.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I think Kerry loves it.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- We'll leave them with a pause. - Is it a letter opener?
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Correct. Yeah, letter opener.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- And is it silver?- It is silver.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And it's rather nice with this sort of Celtic knot.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12It's not, unfortunately, medieval. This is slightly later.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Does it light your fire, Kerry?- No.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Oh.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Not personally.- Not my fire, but it's pretty, decorative.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Yes.- And how much did you pay for it, James?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Ah, two...
0:30:25 > 0:30:26No.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28£40.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- OK.- You immediately feel better about that, don't you?- Yes, we do.
0:30:32 > 0:30:38These two who have shopped with such care and parsimony, only spending £65.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Do you think there's a profit in it though, James?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I think it's in the balance.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- OK.- But it is 1950s.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Thank you.- So... - You're not predicting a whopper?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51I'm not, I'm afraid.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54OK. Well, just hang on to that thought, girls,
0:30:54 > 0:31:01because for the audience at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James' letter knife.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Right then, one letter knife for the use of.- Indeed.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11Well, it's Scottish silver, which traditionally is quite collectable.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Yeah, it's fine. Good condition.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Useful.- It's all down to the money, isn't it really?- Yeah, exactly.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- My estimates £20-30. - £40 James has paid for that.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- All right.- Might be a bit tight for a profit, eh?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Yeah.- Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Now for the Blues.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Here we go, look. Their first item is the spirit level.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I suppose it's fine, isn't it?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- But it's not terribly big, so... - Bit boring.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Bit boring, not terribly useful.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- It's all right if you want to get something level.- Well, I suppose so,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- but really you'd want something a bit bigger, wouldn't you, overall?- Yeah.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- But, yeah, it's fine.- You're not going to build a house with it, put it like that.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51"Lewis and Co" is stamped on the brass plate.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- Yeah, it's OK. Fine.- How much do you think?- 10-15.- Are you levelling with me?- We'll see.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- 10-15?- Yes.- £10 they paid.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- Right.- That's fair enough.- Fairly level, yeah.- No trouble with that. - No.- We're on a level playing field.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- We are.- Excellent. What about the cigarette box?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Yeah, it's OK.
0:32:08 > 0:32:111956 is the Birmingham hallmark - where are we? - on the side.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Unfortunately, it's been engraved to the top.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18But it's a cigarette box that's fairly dull and not of great use.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- Yes. It looks a bit filthy. - Yeah.- So how much then?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- £45-60 is my estimate.- OK, £80 paid.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- All right.- Kate found that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- She rated it and I can see where she's coming from.- Yeah.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36But the engraved top doesn't do it greatly for me, I have to say, cos getting that out is difficult.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Very thin silver anyway on top of wood, so I don't know.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Anyway, 45-60 is where you're coming from.- Sure.- Great. Thank you.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- And what about the fishing reel? - Well, it's Allcock's, a good make.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51It's not terribly big, with a ratchet on it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55Sort of a fly fishing reel.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58It's a lacquered brass. Little mark there stamped on it.
0:32:58 > 0:33:05They're quite collectable, but it's not the most exciting example and my estimate is £25-£35.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- And they paid £40.- Right, OK.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10So all round, apart from their spirit level, it's a bit tight.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14So we'd better go and have a look at their bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Dave and Darren, this is your moment, right?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19You spent £130.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Kate spent £170 maybe, the leftover lolly, on a bonus buy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Did you blow the lot, Kate, or not?
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- Not quite.- Aaah! - Now, you may have seen...
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- We seen that, didn't we? - This before.- We did see that.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35You had a really tough job choosing your things, didn't you?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37And you saw this and we had to make a decision.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39So there we go, we've got it as the bonus buy.
0:33:39 > 0:33:45It's the Hardy's Anglers' Guide And Catalogue, of course. 1957 in date.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48And it's got that magic name.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51It's got the Hardy name, which all fishing collectors look for.
0:33:51 > 0:33:59I'm afraid I paid £30, which is probably the top end of an estimate, I would say, but you never know.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01It's gone on the internet.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05If the collectors find it, you may be in for a small profit.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- I like it, yeah.- I'm happy with that, very happy with that one.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Can I have a look please, Darren?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- I think we'll make a profit on that. - So it lights the blue touch paper? - Yeah, definitely.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19Anyway, you don't have to decided about it, boys, until the sale of your first three items.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's catalogue.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25So here you go.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Are you a fishing fanatic yourself? - I'm not, I'm afraid.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33But some of these earlier ones of the Hardy's guides can be worth a reasonable amount of money.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- This one's only - where are we? - '57.- Yes. - And not in the best condition.
0:34:36 > 0:34:43It does have a loose, typed list at the back, price list, which I'm led to believe is collectable.
0:34:43 > 0:34:49Collectors of fishing memorabilia are quite fanatical, but I don't think it's the best, most exciting example.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52That's what you'd read to learn how to do up your flies, isn't it?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Yeah.- What?
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Well, I suppose so, yeah.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Literally. Tie them up, I mean.- Yes.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59- Good.- There we are.- How much then?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- 15-20 is my estimate. - Is it? Right, £30 paid.- Right.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05So Kate Bliss rates it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- I don't know. It just depends who's about in Canterbury that's keen on fishing really.- I guess it does.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13We're all fishing for a profit. Good luck on the rostrum.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Thanks very much.- Thanks very much.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18120, 130...
0:35:18 > 0:35:21£95. Who's 100? 100.
0:35:21 > 0:35:2440. 90.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29- Now, Jane and Kerry, this is the moment that you've been waiting for, you girls.- We certainly have.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- It's a long time in coming, but it's lovely to be here.- Yeah, it is.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- Lovely. Nice to see it so busy. - It is full.- Yeah, heaving. - Have you ever seen so many people?
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- It's wonderful. So how are you feeling overall? Tell me, Kerry.- I'm just anxious.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- I'm not very patient, so I like to get it over and done with. - What about you, Janey?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I'm not really sure at this moment, Tim.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- I don't think we're going to do too well.- You don't think you're going to do too well?- No.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56First lot up though are the racing binoculars and here they come.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Lot 157 is the pair of French field glasses, racing glasses,
0:36:00 > 0:36:02for Le Jockey Club.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04£5 I'm bid. Straight in.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18£20. £15 straight up.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20What did I tell you? £15 profit.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Great. Now the top hat vase.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28OK, 158 is a Holmegaard, mauve-tinted, top hat vase.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31I have commission interest. Going to start at £10 and I'm looking for 12.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Who's 12 now? £12 for someone?

0:36:38 > 0:36:42- Who's 22 now? Any more?- Come on! - At £20 and selling.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Minus £10.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47But you've still got £5 profit.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Yes.- Next is the topless girl.
0:36:50 > 0:36:55159 is the modern, porcelain figure of the topless female dancer.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59That's cheered you all up. And who will start me at £20?
0:36:59 > 0:37:01The dancer, £20?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03£20 I'm bid. Who's 22?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- 22 where? Any more at 22?- Where are the red-bloodied men, eh?

0:37:19 > 0:37:22That's £10 on that. You've got your £10 back.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25You are plus £15. What are you gonna do then, girls?
0:37:25 > 0:37:30Are you going to bank the £15 or go with the Celtic whatnot?
0:37:30 > 0:37:36- I think we'll bank it please, Tim. - You're going to bank the £15?- Yes.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38Doesn't show much team solidarity.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39It doesn't, does it?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- No.- I think I'm with the girls on this one.- Oh, are you?- Yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You're not supposed to say anything.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- I'm sorry.- You're not going with the bonus buy, but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52163 is an Elizabeth II Scottish silver paper knife
0:37:52 > 0:37:55of Arts and Crafts design. £10 away.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Useful paper knife. £10 I'm bid. 12.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Any more. 38 and selling.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24£38. Bad luck, James, you're just £2 off. Well done, girls.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25That was close though, wasn't it?
0:38:25 > 0:38:30- It was. Very close. - Now, listen, you are £15 up, right?
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Yes.- Yep.- Don't tell the Blues anything.- We won't.- No, we won't.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Seated, 24.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- OK, boys?- Yes, we're fine. - Been talking to those Reds?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- No, not at all.- No, not at all, no.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Not about the score anyway.- Nothing. - Not about the score.- No, OK, fine.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57So how are you feeling then, Darren?
0:38:57 > 0:39:02Erm, a little bit nervous to be honest with you, cos you're not too sure what's gonna get in.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04- But nervous?- Nervous, yeah. - What about you, Dave?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I'm not nervous. I'm confident we'll make some money today, yeah.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Anyway, first lot up though is the spirit level. Here it comes.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14179, this Victorian rosewood and brass spirit level
0:39:14 > 0:39:16with rounded ends by Lewis and Co.
0:39:16 > 0:39:22There it is, lot 179. £5. £5 I'm bid. Thank you. Ten.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37No. Any more? At 26 and selling.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41£26. You've made £16 profit.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44Well done, Darren. £16 up. Lovely.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Now, Kate, the box.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49180. Commission interest.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51We'll start at £30.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I'm looking for two. £32 where?
0:39:53 > 0:39:5832. 34. 36. 38. 40. Two. 44.
0:39:58 > 0:40:0242 here. Who's £44? 44. 46. 48.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- 50 with me. And five.- Come on.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- No? 50 here. Who's £55?- Come on.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- Any more? £50 and selling on commission.- Ah, look at that.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12That cigarette case is minus £30,
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- which means overall now you are minus 14, all right?- Right.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- Here comes the fishing reel.- 181 is the Allcock's brass fly fishing reel.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26And who's starting me at £10? £10 I'm bid. 12 where? Who's 12?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The reel. Right at the back, 12. 14.
0:40:29 > 0:40:3316. 18. 20. Two.
0:40:33 > 0:40:3624. 26. No? 24 right at the back.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Who's £26? 24 and selling.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42That means overall you are minus £30.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Now what are you going to do about the bonus buy now?
0:40:44 > 0:40:46We're going to go for it, Tim. Definitely going to go for it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- You're going for it? - Yes, definitely.- The reel didn't do that well, did it?
0:40:50 > 0:40:54- So what about the fishing interest here?- It's more of a book, innit? Do you know what I mean?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Maybe the person that buys the reel might buy the book.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59They didn't pay very much for the reel... Your decision.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Your decision.- What do you reckon? - Yeah, I'd go for it.- Yeah.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07- Happy?- Yeah.- You're gonna go with it. We're going with the bonus buy. The annual. Here it comes.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Right, 185 is a Hardy's Anglers' Guide 1957,
0:41:10 > 0:41:15with a loose, typed price list in the back. 185. Who's £10?
0:41:15 > 0:41:20£10 where? Hardy's Anglers' Guide. A tenner? £10 for someone?
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Anglers' Guide.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24A fiver then? £5 I'm bid.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Thank you. Knows a bargain. Who's ten then? £10 where?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30If not, I'm going to sell at a fiver. Mr Collins. I'm looking for £10.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33At £5 and selling.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38We didn't hook much of a fish there, I can tell you. £5.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- That's minus £25. That means overall you're minus £55, lads.- Oh, well.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46This could be a winning score, right?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48It's not that funny.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50This could be a winning score. Don't tell the Reds a thing.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Right, OK.- You've done well, boys.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04- So, you guys, have you had a great time?- Wonderful.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07It's been good fun, hasn't it? It's been really close today actually.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Have you been talking to one another?- No, not at all.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14No? Not at all? Well, as it turned out, there is a fairly thumping loss
0:42:14 > 0:42:17for one of these teams, and it is, of course, the Blues.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Ah!- I'm sorry to tell you, lads.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Minus £55 you are overall.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Started off rather well with that nice little profit on the spirit level.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Didn't it?- That was a good lot, but I'm afraid downhill from there.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34But I hope it's been good for you because we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:34 > 0:42:40But the victors today are the Reds, who are actually going to be taking home money.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43£15 worth of winnings. Well done.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47You won that £15 with the binocs, then you lost a bit, and then you won a bit.
0:42:47 > 0:42:53- Then you didn't go with the bonus buy and preserved your £15.- We did. - Had a good time?- Wonderful, thanks.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- What about you?- Good fun.- Good. Thank you, it's been splendid.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00- Join us soon for some more bargaining hunting, yes?- Yes!
