0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Frosty the snowman
0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Was a jolly happy soul
0:00:07 > 0:00:09#With a corncob pipe
0:00:09 > 0:00:12# And a button nose And two eyes made out of coal... #
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Oh ho ho, it's brass monkey weather.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It is freezing!
0:00:18 > 0:00:22If there's one thing, though, that will warm the cockles of your heart...
0:00:22 > 0:00:24let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Welcome to Bargain Hunt,
0:00:48 > 0:00:53from the International Antiques and Collectors Fair in Newark.
0:00:53 > 0:00:59This is Europe's largest antiques event. It is absolutely ginormous.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03If our teams can't find what they're looking out for today,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05they should have stayed at home!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09They'll be up against it, though, as their one hour of shopping time will just fly by.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13So the £300 we give them had better be spent wisely,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15as what they do pick up
0:01:15 > 0:01:18will go under the hammer at auction, and any profit they do make...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21No. Going at £38. Thank you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23..they get to pocket.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28We've got a special edition of the programme today, a double bill with
0:01:28 > 0:01:32not two but four teams, trying their hand at a spot of bargain hunting.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36We've got Reds and Blues coming out of our ears!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Stand by to meet the first of our intrepid teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I hope they are dressed for the weather!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47So here they are. For the Reds, we've got Susie and Charlotte.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- And battling for the Blues we've got Graham and Lee. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.- Hello, Tim.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- Hi.- Lovely to see you. Now, you're both in your third year at Sheffield University.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- How did you first meet? - We both study the same course,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03so we met through that. We got on well and decided we'd go travelling together.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- You kind of bonded up as a result of that experience. - It was a bonding experience.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Charlotte, would you say you drive a hard bargain in foreign parts?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I do my best, but most of the time
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I do come back with quite a lot of rubbish.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Any particular disasters with what you bought?
0:02:19 > 0:02:24We did our best to try and bargain on these glasses which we thought were pretty good, quite beautiful.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- We got them back as a present for our housemates, have a welcome home drink.- What happened?
0:02:28 > 0:02:34The minute you put liquid in them the paint fell off. Our housemates had paint all over their face.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35A huge joke, though.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Yep.- That doesn't bode too well for today, does it?- Not really.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- Well, good luck.- Thank you. - We hope you have a great time on Bargain Hunt today.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Now for the Blues, both of whom are at Sheffield Hallam University.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Now, do you know these girls at all?- No.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- I bet you'd like to!- Oh, yes!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54How did you two meet, Graham?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56We were on our induction to university
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and we were walking around getting the usual tour.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02And this boy - or man, I'm not sure which - came up and spoke to me.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07And I looked at him a couple of times because there's this broad, broad, broad Yorkshire accent.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Apparently he's asked me, do I want to go to the pub? But it came out a bit like, "Wanna go t'pub?"
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- What are you studying?- We're both studying primary school teaching.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Second year.- Great. Lee, you and Graham have a bit of a sideline.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24That's right, we're part-time clowns, believe it or not.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I do believe it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29We've been on teaching placements at school.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32We did a few activities with the kids like balloon modelling.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34They went home and told their parents and one of the parents
0:03:34 > 0:03:38at the school asked us to come in to do a party for the children.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Will you be able to make anything for us today?- We'll have a go, yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- As if by magic...- Oh, yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47OK, so you've got three seconds starting now.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52It's not perfect, but three seconds isn't a lot of time.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56How good is that? I think a little round of applause. That is fantastic.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Is that for me? That's very kind, I'm going to pass that over to the Reds.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That's your lucky mascot for today.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now, the money moment. Here is your £300.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!
0:04:08 > 0:04:09And very, very good luck.
0:04:09 > 0:04:15So which of the teams will be passing their antiques examinations with flying colours?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19And which will be going for retakes?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Let's hope the men who will assist them in their search today have been revising.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Brains and beauty - hmm - will be helping the Blues
0:04:27 > 0:04:29in the form of Mark Stacey.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And tutoring the Reds in the study of antiques is David Harper.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36The hour...starts now.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Right, are you ready? - Yep. Ready.- Are you sure?- Sure.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Let's go, come on.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Um, I wouldn't go for that, no.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50It's nice, but I wouldn't... No, I wouldn't go for that.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- What kind of things do you like? - Decorative things. - Something pretty.- Pretty-pretty.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- And shiny.- No, not pretty and shiny.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59You sound like magpies!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I like the look of this, guys.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- What do you think?- It's lovely. - It's pretty. Very plain.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Well, it is very plain, but people like that nowadays.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Ah, now, this is a good sign. Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Made in England.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Is there any damage?- Not as far as I can see. I've run my finger
0:05:18 > 0:05:22around the edge and I can't feel any chips or cracks, or around the base.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26The other key thing about this is, you see that funny little mark here?
0:05:26 > 0:05:32That's the monogram of one of most famous designers for Pilkington's, William S Mycock.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So this is quite a collectible piece, I think.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I can't see a price to go on this,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39so shall we ask the gentleman how much he's asking for it?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Excuse me. We're quite interested in this Pilkington's vase,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- can you tell us the price, please? - 120.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- 120? Is that your best, sir?- Very best would probably be a oner.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Oner? That's 100 in our language. - Mark, will it make a profit?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59If I was putting that into sale, I'd certainly put 100-150 on it.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- Do you like it?- I do like it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Good.- I think we should go for it. - I've got one ally here.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08So, while the Blues have got themselves a possible profit,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12the girls are still on the search for something shiny!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15How about those swans behind them? They're pretty.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I think the wings open up.- Do they? OK.- I really like those ones.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Oh, they're very lovely. - A pair as well.- Swan salts.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Girls would like those. - That would be a really nice romantic gift.- Really?
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Yeah. For a husband to give to a wife. How much are they?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- 37 for the pair.- I want to buy them.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Do you not like them?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I don't think you'd make any money. Let's go through these quickly.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38A pair of salts. You know what they're for obviously.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42They go on the dinner table, you bung your salt in and you sprinkle your salt.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's all part of the eating experience.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Things like this really make eating more pleasurable.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Precisely.- I agree.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51What's the best on the two salts?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- What's on them?- 37.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- 37 the pair.- 30 quid the pair.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Offer him a bit less. Go on, you do it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- They're going to charm you here. - < 25.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03They haven't even said anything and it's working!
0:07:05 > 0:07:11After turning on even more charm, the girls paid £22 for the swans.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16The Blues already had one item in the bag, but it's getting harder to come to a decision.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18What's this here, Mark?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21No, I don't like that. I don't think I like it anyway.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Oh, I don't know. - £65 it's got on it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Lee.- It's actually quite nice quality.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31I mean, if you look, you've got a duck here.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- I hadn't noticed that. - And it's also stained in colour.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36How old would it be, is it modern?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40I'm just trying to work out if it's modern.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Where would it come from?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I would have thought the colonies somewhere. What do you think of it?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- I really like it.- I do like it. I can see Tim walking with it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49Is that 165 or 65?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51You see, I like that.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- That's a quality object. - I thought that was a pound sign.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57165's an awful lot. Is it something we could leave until the final thing?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00We could ask him to hold it for us.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I'd thought it was a WOMAN'S prerogative to change her mind!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06So the Blues didn't make a decision on the walking stick,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09leaving them still with two items to buy.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13The Reds are back at their favourite stall,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16which offers a buffet of shiny treats for the girls.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Mother of pearl. What do you think it is?- Is it a cigar case?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- No, it's a card case.- Is it? - Yes, for your business cards.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I like it!- I like it. - Isn't it, yes, very nice.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29That's a cigarette case, or a cigar case. Actually that's very posh.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- How much is it? - I must say I prefer that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Is that a good price?- I don't know. What's the absolute death on the cigar case?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- What's the price on it?- 145. - It would have to be 110, the death.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42That would represent a small profit.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- 70 wouldn't buy it? - It wouldn't. I paid more.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I paid £90 for that.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51And I had to put a couple of new panels on it. I do want the 110.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- It might touch 100.- I tell you what you'd do better with. Have a look at that book.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- < Now touch the corner. - Oh, wow. - < It's a drinking flask.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59That's very nice.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- If you look at the title, it's The 19th Hole.- What's the best on that?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- 95.- Do you think that would sell, though?- I do, I do, I do.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06You couldn't do it for 60?
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Again, I paid more. I'll knock another fiver off and do it for 90.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12< I think that's a very fair price.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- What do you think?- Erm... - How much would it get at auction?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think it might do 100 quid and a bit, mightn't it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21In the right sale, you could do 120-140.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Let's go for it, I'm up for it. - I think it's a good idea.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- All right, we'll have it at that, 90.- Brilliant.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Guys, I think we need to speed up.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Because we are going to run out of time.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I'm in a bit of a stress at the moment.- Come on, you two.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- That's 38, too much for them. - Hello, how are you?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Mark, are these real silver? - Let's have a look.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Oh, yes, they are, you know. They're little bonbon dishes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Is that Mappin and Webb? I think they are.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55- Yes. > - Mappin and Webb.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58These are hallmarks for Birmingham with the anchor.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59What do you think? You spotted it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02It's pretty. It's got some weight behind it as well.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04They're for, you can imagine, after dinner.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You'd put little bonbons, something like that in it,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and just have them on the table. (You could get that for maybe £40.)
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- We could try. - Do you want to ask her?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Do you like them? - I do like them, yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Go on.- I like the shape.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24The lowest was £45, leaving them £160 for their last item,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27but only 10 minutes to get it in.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Don't you like him?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31How can you not like him?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33That?!
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- He's gorgeous. He's cute.- He has got orange eyes.- Oh!- (Sorry!)
0:10:39 > 0:10:40- How much is it?- 12 quid.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44It's not expensive. You cannot fail to love him.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- What, date-wise, he's gotta be... - At least 500 years old!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51I wish he was. This will get you. Ready?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Look, he jumps around.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58That is honestly one of the most hideous things I've ever seen.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00You can't tell me that doesn't blow your mind?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh, it is quite cute.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05It's a bloody hopping, red-eyed freakish monkey!
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Maybe we should leave him for a different owner.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10We've seen a nice writing desk.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11If I don't like it, will you have him?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- But it's expensive, it's got faults on it.- I don't know...
0:11:16 > 0:11:18We've all got faults. Come on.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23You stand your ground, girls, but get a move on. Time is ticking away.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Doulton ashtray, that's fine.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28We'd best rush, I think.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- We've got one minute.- Let's look at one more stall and then we can go back and buy the monkey.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38With only a minute left, the Blues head back to buy the walking stick.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Listen carefully. Here's how NOT to negotiate.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48We would really like to buy this stick. It's great. And...yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I was wondering if there was any chance you would take 130 for it?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55I'm sorry, absolutely no chance at all, 140 is what I need.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- 140 it is, then.- OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Brilliant, thank you very much. - You're welcome.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05See what I mean? The Blues are done, the pressure is on for the Reds.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09With seconds to spare they've decided on their third buy,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11and, no, it's not the monkey.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Was the cigar case, £80? I can't remember.
0:12:13 > 0:12:18- That's 110.- Can you meet us halfway, £100?- Please, it's our last stall.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Please. - I'll do it for 100.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- That's it, literally to the second. - To the second?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Well done.- Good work. - Thank you very much.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41So, has all that brain power and edu-ma-cation paid off
0:12:41 > 0:12:44with some profitable purchases? Let's find out.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50The blonde magpies fell in love with the £22 swans.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53They do say love is blind, though.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57At £90, will they hit a hole in one at the auction
0:12:57 > 0:13:00with the leather-bound flask?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02The cigar case was a last-minute purchase,
0:13:02 > 0:13:06but is it a good one with £100 paid?
0:13:06 > 0:13:12Girls, it's the end of the day, it's going dark. How was that shopping experience, did you have fun?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- We had a brilliant time. - We really enjoyed it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18You bought all those blingy, shiny, expensive things. I wish you the best with that lot.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22£212 you spent. I'd like £88 of leftover lolly,
0:13:22 > 0:13:26going to David Harper to find that bonus buy.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Does that mean I've got to buy something bright and blingy?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33No! We want you to find something that's going to bring a big profit.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- OK, can I buy something I really like?- If it makes a big profit.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Off you go, David, and good luck. Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45The Pilkington vase wasn't a hit with Graham, but Lee and Mark
0:13:45 > 0:13:50are convinced it will make a solid profit and paid £100.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Solid silver and a well-known maker, but will that be enough
0:13:54 > 0:13:58to get the bidders interested in the £45 silver bonbon dishes?
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Like the Reds, the Blues had a last-minute decision to make
0:14:03 > 0:14:08and walked off with the Mexican carved stick for £140.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10So, Graham and Lee, that was a bit of a panic, wasn't it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- Down to the last couple of minutes for your final item.- Rushing around.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Well, you spent a magnificent £285, I'm really chuffed about that.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22£15 of leftover lolly, please. There you go, Mark.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Now, what are you going to do with miserable £15?- Not an awful lot. - No.- I've seen a burger and chips!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Have you? Well, it won't be easy for you, but good luck.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well, it's great to be at Golding Young's saleroom in Grantham, with Colin Young.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- How nice to see you, Colin. How are you?- Good morning, Tim.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Very well indeed, thanks. - Feeling strong today?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- Feeling strong!- First up for our girls today, Suzie and Charlotte, we've got these little swan vases.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- What do you make of those? - Always popular.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Asprey's did a version in cut crystal with silver mounts.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- But...- They're not.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- They're quite fun, aren't they? - They're quite good fun, just nominal sums.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Estimate we've put, 10-20. - They paid £22.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- So, it's not too far shy.- No.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- What about this flask?- I love it, I think it's a brilliant item.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Something that is a nice, easy, hide and deceive,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16if you like a tipple or two.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- What's it worth, though?- To be honest, I haven't got a clue.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I haven't seen another one. I've put a good old guesstimate on it
0:15:23 > 0:15:26of £40-£60, and just see how we fare with that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Exciting. Now, what about this mother-of-pearl cigar box?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Nice and clean, all of the panels are still on.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Nice combination, abalone shell, and mother of pearl.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- What's your estimate on it? - We've put an estimate of £40-£60.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Cor!- I will be honest, I think that's probably the sort of money.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Because you get card cases which are functionable and usable,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48and they usually make £40-£60 for the average ones, like this.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53OK, well, our girls will be disappointed, they paid £100.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57If you're right, they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Charlotte and Susie, you spent £212, which is magnificent.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06You gave David £88 to spend.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Did he blow the lot?
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Oh! We knew it!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I, yep, I guessed that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Come on, begin to love him. Look! Look what he does!
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- It doesn't look any better than earlier!- He's absolutely delightful.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21If I didn't buy him, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26- Do you think it will make a profit? - How much do you think? You know how much, I wanted you to buy him!
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- A tenner.- Not very much!- A tenner.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30How much would you pay for him in an auction?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- 20, 30?- Really?- I really would. Honestly I would, yeah.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I mean, you've got it honestly from the heart of the monkey...
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I mean, from the man. He's predicting double your money.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Hold that thought. - OK. We'll hold that thought.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45For the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's monkey.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47What about that little monkey, then?
0:16:47 > 0:16:51- Very nice. He's got holes in him, he's got rust on his wires.- Yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54The positive is, people will love him, so they'll bid for him.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55And David's pleased with it.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57So what's his worth?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01We've put an estimate of £10- £20 on it, that sort of level.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Great, cos he paid a tenner. And I think that's fine, don't you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- Yep.- Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues - Graham and Lee.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11First up is the Pilkington's pot.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Perfect order, William Mycock,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17very good artist, started at Pilkington's, 1894,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and this piece itself dates from 1932.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- They paid £100, what's your estimate?- I've put £100-£150.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I think they stand a good chance of a profit. If they don't, there is no justice.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Next is the so-called Mexican stick.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I can't really see it exciting stick collectors.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35We've put an estimate of £20- £40 on it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Dear, oh dear! They paid £140!
0:17:37 > 0:17:41£140 for the Mexican stick and you put £20-£40!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- This is terrible! - Let's just hope I'm wrong.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Next is the kidney-shaped silver dishes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51OK, they're not particularly old, 1963.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But Mappin & Webb, good maker. So, yeah, they should do OK.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I suppose estimate-wise, £20-£40, something like that.- Is that all?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Yeah, what did they pay?- £45.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01They might get out of trouble with those.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Because they are heavy gauge, so perhaps not the normal buyers will be going for them.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Anyway, the problem there is this stick.- Mmm.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12So, bonus buy, I think they will need it. Let's have a look.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17So, Graham and Lee, you spent £285, you gave £15 to Mark.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19What did he spend it on?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21THEY LAUGH
0:18:21 > 0:18:25I did! But I only spent £10 on it. Because I think it's rather fun.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29It's made by Colclough. It's probably from the 1950s.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Graham, I have to ask you, what is it you've got on your head?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Tea-cosy hat!- Very good. What do you have in front of you?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37An elephant teapot.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Might your tea cosy go rather nicely on the elephant teapot?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Let's just see whether it goes. We've got a hole for the handle.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Oh, look at that! Perfect. A significant improvement,
0:18:46 > 0:18:48don't you think? No, no!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- That's nice. You obviously like it, don't you?- Yes.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54You don't decide right now. You decide later.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's pot.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- One lump or two?- Definitely looks like one lump from here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05The first thing that you see on it is there's a little bit of damage there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07He's had his head chopped off at some stage.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- What a shame. - Our estimate is 20-40.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I tell you, that Mark Stacey, he won't mind.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14He only paid £10 for it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Oh, excellent.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19So overall, some excitement ahead.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Yes, unless they get a beating with that stick.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23We shall see. Thank you, Colin.
0:19:26 > 0:19:2912 bid. 12.50. 18...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Now, girls. What do your mates, what do your student friends,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34think about you coming on Bargain Hunt?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I think they were positive about it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38They don't think you're mad or anything?
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Slightly! I think they're quite looking forward to taking the mick out of us.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Are they? We're on the edge of the auction now.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- It's exciting, isn't it? - Very exciting.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50All these people, look at it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52A pair of clear glass-moulded swans,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54mounted with electroplated neck and folding wings.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Who's going to start me with a bargain and start me at £36?
0:19:58 > 0:20:03OK, £10 to go. Who's first in? 10 on the internet.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Any more now at £10 bid? 12.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38this, of golfing interest, it's an eight-ounce spirit flask.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Who's going to start me at £50? 50. 30 to go, then, surely.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- 30? 20 to go then, surely? - Are you kidding me?

0:21:26 > 0:21:31That was £120. That's plus 30. Hang on a minute, hang on.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I'm getting a hug when I can get one.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Hug while you're ahead.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02all done and finished at £80.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Oh, blast it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07£80. You're minus 20 on that, which means you're plus £8.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09You have eight pounds.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- Awesome.- How exciting.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Oh, dear. I can't bear it.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Anyway, you're £8 up. That's all right, isn't it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18My heart is just going.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Ridiculous, isn't it, how it goes up, down, up, down.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24You are ahead at £8. What are you going to do about the monkey, then?
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- Gamble.- Brilliant. - We're going to make you happy.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31A 1940s-50s clockwork monkey.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Who's going to start at £20 for him? 20, 10 to go then,

0:23:15 > 0:23:17THEY CHEER
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Thank you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23There you go, you've got £12 profit on that, which is brilliant.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26You had eight pounds before, so overall, you're plus 20.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27- How about that?- Well, I never!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Well done, you two.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34That's brilliant, isn't it? £20 up.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37This could be a winning score, it could well be a winning score,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41we know how difficult it is to make a profit on this programme, and you've just done it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Don't tell the Blues a thing, all right?- We won't.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45- Keep really quiet.- Top secret.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Don't go out looking so bubbly. Start looking miserable.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50OK, depression.
0:23:52 > 0:23:5352, 55...
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- So, how are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Confidently nervous.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05That's a mixture of emotions, isn't it?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08But don't despair, because your Pilkington pot,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12which Mark found for you, you paid £100 for that.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14That's identified as being a Mycock pot,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17which is a particular maker in Pilkington.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20He's got some buyers lined up for Pilkington. Here it comes.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Item 95 is a Pilkington's Royal Lancastrian vase
0:24:23 > 0:24:26of inverted ballast form, who's going to start at 100?
0:24:26 > 0:24:2980 to go, then, 80, 80 bid, 85,

0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Keep going, come on. - I'll take five as a last call, 135.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39140, down here, is that another bid?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43140, at 140, 145, 150, 145,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47then we're going at £145.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Well done. Well done, Mark.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51145. You're £45 up.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Now, the stick.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57The 20th century South American walking stick there,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00possibly Mexican, who's going to start me at £40?
0:25:00 > 0:25:0540, 30 to go, then, £30.
0:25:05 > 0:25:0920, £20, anybody? 10, thank you, 10.

0:25:21 > 0:25:2328 now, have another one.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27No, at 25 it's at the back of the room at 25, and eight now, do I see,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- 28 bid, and 30, 32. - He's working hard on this.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Last call then, we're done and we're finished
0:25:35 > 0:25:37and we're selling, all done at £30.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40That's minus £110.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42This isn't so brilliant, this, is it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44You were £45 up.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Anyway, next lot up are the bonbon dishes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50A pair of Mappin and Webb silver pin dishes
0:25:50 > 0:25:52of curvilinear form. Who's going to start me at £50?
0:25:52 > 0:25:5850, 30, 30, 20, 22, 25, 28, 28, 30,

0:26:15 > 0:26:1855 now, 55, don't want to scare you off with high figures!
0:26:18 > 0:26:22He's a good auctioneer, isn't he?
0:26:22 > 0:26:2458, surely. Last call, then, selling at £55.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Well done, Lee.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29£55, you get a £10 profit on that.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33You were minus 65, you're now only minus £55.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35So what are you going to do about the hefferlump?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- We'll go for it. - You're going with the hefferlump?
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Colclough pottery teapot in the form of an Indian elephant
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Who's going to start me at £10 for it? At 10, bid 12.
0:26:45 > 0:26:4815, 18. 22, 25, 28.
0:26:48 > 0:26:5230, 32, 35, 38, 40. 40 on the net. £40 bid.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56It's on the internet at £40.
0:26:56 > 0:27:0042, front row. Can I see a 45 bid? Surely have another click?
0:27:00 > 0:27:0445 bid, 48.
0:27:04 > 0:27:0948 bid. 50? Thank you. 50 bid. 55. 55, 55. 60 now.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Come on. Come on.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16At £55 bid in the room. At 55. Eight is the last call then.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Going at £55.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22You've sold it for £55!
0:27:22 > 0:27:25How did that make more than the stick?!
0:27:25 > 0:27:30That is amazing. £55. I can't believe that.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34£55 for a teapot! A teapot with a broken finial.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Well, I knew it.- There you go.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41Mark, you must be... He's just a genius, isn't he?
0:27:41 > 0:27:46To convert £10 into £55, via the ether of the internet.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- We could have done the same with the walking stick.- That's amazing.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54So you have £45 profit out of that, which is very good.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59You were minus £55 before, so overall you are minus £10.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- It could have been worse. - It could have been a lot worse.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04That is absolutely extraordinary.
0:28:04 > 0:28:0610, 12, 15. 20.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17The Blues are in detention and the Reds are top of the class.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22And there are more treats to come with two more teams limbering up.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25But hold your horses, we'll meet that lot shortly.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28First I want to take you on an outing.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39English landed estates, such as Belton House
0:28:39 > 0:28:44here in Lincolnshire, would normally be passed down the eldest son.
0:28:44 > 0:28:50That's why having a male heir was so incredibly important
0:28:50 > 0:28:53to ensure that property remained in the immediate family.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00But the Brownlow and Custs of Belton struggled to produce male heirs
0:29:00 > 0:29:05and Belton was only passed down to the eldest son on two occasions.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10So nephews, brothers, grandsons and cousins were all beneficiaries
0:29:10 > 0:29:13over the 300 years the family lived here.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18In the early 20th century Henry Cust, also known as Harry,
0:29:18 > 0:29:23was due to inherit from Adelbert, his cousin, who was the third earl.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26However things didn't work out to plan
0:29:26 > 0:29:30because Adelbert outlived Harry by four years.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35This painting depicts Harry's wife, Nina, lying in the library
0:29:35 > 0:29:38of their London home, perhaps dreaming of a room at Belton.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Do you think it could be this room? The study? I think it is.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Almost identical apple green painted walls,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49densely lined with books,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52And if you look carefully in that watercolour,
0:29:52 > 0:29:57does this end of a piece of furniture remind you of anything?
0:29:58 > 0:30:03You're right, this is the self same cupboard that was in London
0:30:03 > 0:30:05and has now come back to Belton.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07On the face of it,
0:30:07 > 0:30:11this looks like a late 18th, early 19th-century painted cupboard.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13You can see where the paint's been rubbed.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17And the timber's showing below.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19But beautifully painted in the Adamesque style
0:30:19 > 0:30:24with these Angelica Kauffmann-style roundels down below.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26But if I give it a tap,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29you'll find out that it's a cabinet, full of secrets.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Hear that?
0:30:31 > 0:30:35That is not the same as that. Why?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Well, we've got two massive concealed locks,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42plus a secret catch on either side.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44The key plate is revealed.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50You'd insert your key, unlock both doors and reveal...
0:30:52 > 0:30:57..the secret interior. Not only secret, but incredibly secure
0:30:57 > 0:31:03because this middle section of the cabinet is made of solid iron.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It's a safe, the ultimate security device for the gentleman
0:31:07 > 0:31:11who wants to keep his precious objects close by him,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14in a smart reception room without going to poke about
0:31:14 > 0:31:17in one of those ugly safes underneath the back stairs.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22Actually this is an extremely rare survivor,
0:31:22 > 0:31:27and as such, is not only practical but, I think, drop-dead gorgeous.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Ding ding! Round two, and it's back to the winter wonderland
0:31:32 > 0:31:34of Newark for some more bargain hunting.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38We've got relatives Nicola and Doug for the Reds.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43And friends Jenna and Eddie for the Blues. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46So, how are you two related, then?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- I'm Nicola's great uncle. - What's your interest in antiques?
0:31:49 > 0:31:54I love antiques. For about 15, 16 years, I've been restoring antiques.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Has any of this passion for antiques rubbed off on you, Nicola?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Yes, it has, although in a different way.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03What I do doesn't last as long as my Uncle Doug's stuff.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- So what do you do, then? - I'm a sculptor.- Right.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Yes, I carve sand, snow and ice.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11How amazing. Have you got anything to show us?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Yes, I have two photos here. Two pieces that I did.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17That is just extraordinary, girl! That's made of sand?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20There were two of us working on that for two weeks.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23You're very brave. I couldn't bear to see it fall apart.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I think we're going to have rather a good competition today, you two!
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Now for the Blues, Jenna and Eddie.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Hello. - How do you two know each other?
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- We are housemates. - At university?- Yes.- Both students at Leicester University.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I'm sporting my Leicester University hoodie.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39She bought it for my birthday on Tuesday.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Happy birthday as of Tuesday. - Thank you.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- What are you studying? - Psychology and biology.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- What about you, Eddie? - I do physics with planetary science.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- Phew.- Hopefully going on to do earth observational science next year, hopefully. Fingers crossed.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54We'll cross everything for you.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Get onto some safe territory!
0:32:56 > 0:33:01£300 apiece, £300 apiece... You know the rules, and off you go. And very, very good luck.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05So will it be the Reds carving out the big bucks?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Or the Blues just turning all this into another science?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Each team won't be alone.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15They have exclusive rights to an expert's knowledge
0:33:15 > 0:33:18to help them on their way so they don't slip up.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Right. Off they go. What delights will our teams find today?
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Not round here, no.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Do you want a piggy back, David? - Yes, I think I do.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29So shall we go up here?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I would say 1930.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- I'd say 1930.- You would?
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- I really like that.- It's got great novelty value, hasn't it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- But has it got any real monetary value, this is the thing?- No.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52It might have, in a big collection.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Ah, he's nice. I'm going to test you, Nicola.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- What do you think about him? - So cute.- He's nice, isn't he?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- I love it.- What would you say if I did this to him?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Oh, my God! That's awful.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Scent bottle.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- Can I smell it? Oh, it smells of something.- Perfume?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Oldness and perfume.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15Let's have a smell.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- It's definitely got some... - There's definitely been some...
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Well, I've got no sense of smell. - Haven't you, really?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- How much is that?- Let's ask him. What's the best on the teddy?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- 80 quid.- Really?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- What age would you think? - I think '40s or '50s.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33- I think we all like him.- I do. - Well, bid him, try him, go on.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36I think Nicola should use her charms. Nicola, have a go.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- We want it, 50 tops.- 40. - Go on, try him.- 50 tops.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Would you consider... a massive reduction on this?
0:34:44 > 0:34:49Nicola secured a deal of £55, but they're sleeping on it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Over to the Blues. Have they spotted anything so sweet?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- That's a cool bottle opener. - What is it?- It's a bottle opener. - That's quite fun, isn't it?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Because you'd attach that onto the bar. Yes.- There's a clamp in it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04The bar that I work in now, we used to have one,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07but a modern-day one where we just clamped it on the bar.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I just like the fact it's old style.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Is almost a piece of social history, isn't it? Because I love all this decoration.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's cast steel. I like this little turned handle.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20That would really clean up rather nicely, actually.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- Yes, it does look good. - Can you tell us what your very best price is on that, please?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Very best it could be is 130. - 130?- 130.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31That's quite a good lot off. 165, to 130.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32I think, I mean...
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Can I say just one thing? Your faces have lit up since you found it.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- It's got to be a purchase. - I know, I quite like that.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42The dealer has given you a very good discount, nearly 20% off.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Let's do it.- Let's do it. - We'll take that, thank you.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Hats off to the Blues, they're making quick decisions.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50But is it rubbing off on the Reds?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I like that teddy.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56I can't believe it - they're still mulling over the scent bottle!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- I liked it.- We all like it.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00It's a bit morbid, though, with its head off.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03We don't to rip its head off all the time.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Let's go for it.- I think so. - All right then.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Not bad. Only 20 minutes gone and that's the Reds' first buy for £55.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Let me show you something I've found.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19This is a pottery charger.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22And this is going back to the early part of the 20th century, 1910.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25This is a copy of Italian majolica,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28which is a sort of tin-glazed earthenware.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32But then when we turn it over, we've got "Aeneas arriving in Italy."
0:36:32 > 0:36:38And then you have got Verona, 1547, and Copenhagen.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42I think the original majolica plate was painted in 1547.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47And this has been painted by George Rowley, March 1919.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And I think that is quite interesting, actually.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Now, it is a lot of money at the moment, 120, but unless you ask, you never know.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Shall I just shout over and find out?- I think you should.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Excuse me. What's the best price we could have on this plate?
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Well, being as I bought it with a lot of other things, I'll let you have it for £50.
0:37:07 > 0:37:0950 quid. Come on, guys, we've got to.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- I'm not a fan, but for 50 quid, you can't say no.- It's worth a gamble, isn't it?- Yes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Yep, go for it.
0:37:16 > 0:37:182-1 to the Blues.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21The Reds are playing catch-up.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24I like the colours.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- I think it's quite nice. How much is that?- 35.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- What's the best you can do on that?- 35.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You can't do 30?
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I like it. It's got a lot of flash about it. For very little money.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I think you could buy something similar on the high street.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45Do you think so? But feel the weight of that.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Yes, OK.- It's heavy, it's not plasticky.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50It will look nice once there's a light underneath.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Is it broken or anything? - It doesn't look like it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Can you do it any cheaper, please?
0:37:54 > 0:37:58- Our time is ticking. £20. - 34.99.- Oh, come on. 20?
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Best, the very best.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06'She's like a dog with a bone, this one.'
0:38:06 > 0:38:08You're the best negotiator.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Let me go and ask him a bit more.
0:38:10 > 0:38:11Watch what she can do.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Can you do it a little bit less?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Yes, he'll do 30!- Well done. - Thank you.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I think Nicola is the best negotiator in the room.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23That's £30 for the light fitting.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Has it got any of them marks that you antique dealers look for?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28No, because it's not silver!
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- Excuse me, what is the very best you can do on this? 40?- This is 40.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- That's quite good.- That's good.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39We want to keep it in reserve. If we can get a better price...
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- Come back to it in the last five minutes.- OK.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47And you obviously put something in here, press it down.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49That's all very nice, but what about these?
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Those are nice, aren't they? You like your napkin rings, don't you?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56It's because they're sparkly.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- I like them, but they're only silver plate.- Are they numbered? - Yes. One to six.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Which is nice because that shows they are all of the same set.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06And these are Victorian.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09They're quite nice quality, the way they're decorated.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12It is kind of a simple but effective design on it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Yes, it is, and I suppose if you're having people for dinner,
0:39:16 > 0:39:19six is normal. Because we don't use these sort of things very often.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23In auction, I would probably put something like £30-50.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28But this does have a nice little fitted case, and this is the original case.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31But I don't think he'll go for that. But you can ask him, go on.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- What am I asking?- Ask him what his very, very best price is.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Whilst Jenna sorts out a deal, let's see if the Reds are any closer to their final piece.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42It is unusual, do you like that?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- What is it?- A little match holder. A Vesta.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Vesta cases are collected, just by silver collectors.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And round ones are really very rare. Guess how much it is.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- A fiver.- You're horrible, you are.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Mind you, you'll be a very good buyer if you can buy things for that. 88.- £88!
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Don't worry, Anne is a wonderful woman. Anne, aren't you wonderful?
0:40:01 > 0:40:04What's the best price on that?
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- 75.- Ah, Anne.- It's dented. - I know, I know.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Well, really, I think it's got to be over to you.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13I'd like to see what we can get that salt and pepper set...
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Can I put that aside and see you later?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Come on then, Jenna, what deal did you get?
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I got him down to 55.- 55? Well, you did get him down.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26- We've got about five or eight minutes left, so we need to make some decisions.- What do you think?
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- I reckon we do it.- Go for them? I like them, I mean, I'd have them.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Are you happy?- All right, if I was a rich person I'd buy them, yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Is that case closed? - Case closed.- Case closed.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Top stuff.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42So, with five minutes to go, all we need now is a Red decision -
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Vesta or cruet?
0:40:44 > 0:40:50- What do you think? - I'm mixed with it. A, I don't like the cigarette side.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- That's what I don't like. - But it is collectible.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55But these are things that are used.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I want you to decide. I prefer that.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01Excuse me. What is the very, very, very best...?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05- You can't do it a little bit cheaper?- Not for the silver one...
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Come on, there's no time for this. Make up your minds!
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Come on.- 35.- This way, this way!
0:41:12 > 0:41:13Can we do 35? Please?
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- OK.- Oh, you are, you are...! - Thank you.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21That's it. Stop the watch.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26None of the teams got lost. They each got their three items.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Let's have a reminder of what the Red team's bought.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Teddy bear.- We both love it.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35We fell in love with it straightaway.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Well, let's hope the saleroom loves the teddy bear scent bottle as much.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Next up was the mid-20th century glass lampshade.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- We think the matchstick thing is a bit of a gamble.- Yes.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Matchstick thing?
0:41:48 > 0:41:53Nicola's talking about the early-20th-century silver Vesta case.
0:41:53 > 0:41:58- Now, Doug and Nicola, it wasn't exactly plain sailing for you, that shopping, was it?- No, not quite.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- I mean, the disagreements! - Yes, well...- And you're relations!
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Yes, quite.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Anyway, you spent £120, which is vaguely miserable.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09180 of leftover lolly to go to David Harper to find the bonus buy.
0:42:09 > 0:42:14- I know, but 180, Tim, that's pressure, isn't it?- Why?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Well, I don't know. I feel obliged to spend quite a lot of it.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21It's always safe when you haven't got much because you can blame the contestants...
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Because you haven't got much cash. - Exactly!
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- Perfect!- I've learnt that from you. - you went to the right school, too.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32Now, in order to remind ourselves what these Reds are up against,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34let's see what the Blues bought.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41I love the corkscrew, I absolutely love it.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46Ah, no surprises for the students - their first piece was booze-related.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48The plate, I'm really unsure of, but...
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- We got it for 50 quid, so... - Hopefully it'll go well.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53We're hoping so, too.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58So will the 20th-century hand painted charger deliver the goods?
0:42:58 > 0:43:02And, of course, the same goes for the six silver-plate napkin rings.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05So, you two, how tough was that shopping?
0:43:05 > 0:43:07- It was hard. - It was very intense, yeah.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10I mean, you rush round, you've got hardly any time.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13You think you got more when you watch it on TV.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15There you go, that's the reality of it all.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18You didn't do too badly - you spent £235, pleased with that.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22- £65 of leftover lolly. - Jenna's got it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Thank you. You don't like handing it over!
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- £65, then, Mark, which you're going to use to find the bonus buy.- Absolutely.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30How tough are you going to find that?
0:43:30 > 0:43:34I don't think so, they're really strong characters, Tim.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36- There's a lot to play on there.- Yes.
0:43:36 > 0:43:41I've learnt a lot from them, so I'm going to grow my hair very and the next time I might have dreadlocks.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Well, that's something to look forward to!
0:43:44 > 0:43:47So don't go to the hairdresser for about a couple of years.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51- Perfect! We'll look forward to that.- Thanks, Tim.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Still to come, will the Reds' "spend low, sell high" tactics pay off?
0:43:58 > 0:44:01That's a good start, well done, you two.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03'Will the Blues find selling as easy as buying?'
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Oh, dear, this has not gone to plan.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07'We'll find out soon.
0:44:07 > 0:44:12'But first let's check in with Golding Young Auctioneers in Grantham, Lincolnshire
0:44:12 > 0:44:17'to see how our old mate, Colin Young, values today's items.'
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Now, teddy bear perfume bottle, that's whacky, isn't it?
0:44:23 > 0:44:26It is, a nice little lot. There are plenty of teddy bear collectors
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- that'll have a go for that. - Will they pay £55, do you think?
0:44:29 > 0:44:32No. Well, we've put an estimate not far from that.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35I suppose 30 to 50 is a reasonable estimate on it.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37What about this Tiffany-style lamp?
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Yeah, it's more Tiffany off EastEnders, I'm afraid.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- Oh, right.- Erm, not very old. Not very good...
0:44:43 > 0:44:47OK, so a lookalike? Not a very good copy of the Tiffany,
0:44:47 > 0:44:49but it's in quite good nick, isn't it?
0:44:49 > 0:44:52It is, we've put an estimate of 25 to 40.
0:44:52 > 0:44:56- That's something, £30 they paid. - It's got a chance.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Yeah, you get a top end, Colin, they'll be pleased with you.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01The Vesta case, that's a little horror
0:45:01 > 0:45:02cos it's got these dents in it.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06I don't know, circular ones always make a little bit more than...
0:45:06 > 0:45:09the bog standard ones which usually make £20
0:45:09 > 0:45:13so we've put an estimate of 20 to 30, but it's not going to sparkle beyond that.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14£35 they paid.
0:45:14 > 0:45:18There's no question at all here, they'll need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:45:19 > 0:45:24So, team, you spent £120 which is vaguely pathetic... No!
0:45:24 > 0:45:29£180 went to David Harper, what did he spend it on?
0:45:29 > 0:45:34- Oh!- Grand, posh piece, what do you think it is?
0:45:34 > 0:45:37- Pass!- It looks like something you'd put some dead person's ashes in.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- Ooh!- No, you wouldn't! - Now, there's a good sales technique.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44There's a good sign... Yeah.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- It's a censer, so you'd burn incense.- Incense.- Oh...
0:45:47 > 0:45:51If you look inside it's nicely green and burnt. It's been used an awful lot.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- So bronze, yes?- Bronze. Japanese, Meiji period,
0:45:54 > 0:45:59so late 19th century, and would look stunning on a nice, Georgian table with a lamp.
0:45:59 > 0:46:04- It'd look a million dollars. How much would you pay for it?- About £100.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06I would pay £80-100 for it, I really like it.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09- OK, well, you're very close both of you - 75.- Oh!
0:46:09 > 0:46:14You don't have to decide right now, you decide later after the sale of your first three items
0:46:14 > 0:46:19but, for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's bronze pot.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21So this is the bonus buy, Colin.
0:46:21 > 0:46:25- Right.- Does that inspire you with that little thrill?- Not really.
0:46:25 > 0:46:29The first thing you notice on this is it's fairly poorly cast.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- It is what it is.- It is what it is.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34But perfectly genuine. A kind of 1900 version.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37For a bronze object you get quite a lot for your money, don't you?
0:46:37 > 0:46:39You do. We put an estimate on it of £30 to £50.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43Well, David Harper paid 75, you see. And he really rates it.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48Now for the Blues. What about this bottle opener?
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Love it. I think it's a brilliant item.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52If they were out looking for something a different,
0:46:52 > 0:46:56that's the ideal object that they should buy at a fair.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59The estimate we've put on it is £80 to £120.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02OK, £130 they paid, so... They're saleable things.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Now, we've got the hand-painted charger.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09It's a 1920s version of historiato dishes, but...
0:47:09 > 0:47:14- It ain't 1480, I can tell you that! - I'm afraid it's not, is it?
0:47:14 > 0:47:17But nevertheless, it's certainly got to be worth £40 to £60.
0:47:17 > 0:47:21OK. £50 they paid, you see, so that's pretty well on the button, isn't it?
0:47:21 > 0:47:23What about the plated napkin rings?
0:47:23 > 0:47:25People still use them, so yeah, they're going to be fine.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30They're not going to just sit in the sideboard like a lot of these case pieces. They will actually be used.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Sort of 20, 40, that sort of range.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34Well, sadly, £55 they paid.
0:47:34 > 0:47:38- Well, it's not a tenner a ring, is it, so...- No. Good.
0:47:38 > 0:47:42They could need their bonus buy. We'd better go and have a look at it!
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Now, Jenna, Eddie, how are you feeling? All right?
0:47:44 > 0:47:47- Fantastic, yeah.- Well, you spent £235, you ought to feel fantastic!
0:47:47 > 0:47:50You gave £65 to Mark. What did you spend it on, Mark?
0:47:50 > 0:47:53I spent it on this lovely little box here.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55- Oh, that's nice.- It's Oriental.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58I rather like it, it's got a wise owl on the top there.
0:47:58 > 0:48:00- And it was only £20.- Really?
0:48:00 > 0:48:03How much do you reckon it will take at auction, then?
0:48:03 > 0:48:05On a good day, we might get £30 - £40 for it.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07So we might see a bit of profit there.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09See what we do on the other lots, is my advice.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Wait and see how you get on with your first three items.
0:48:13 > 0:48:15But now, for the viewers at home, let's find out
0:48:15 > 0:48:17what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's wise old owl.
0:48:17 > 0:48:24- T-wit t-woo!- Well, interesting and different acquisition, really, for an expert choice.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26That's Mark Stacey for you!
0:48:26 > 0:48:30At least he's going for something different and not the type of thing
0:48:30 > 0:48:32that you're going to find in every sale.
0:48:32 > 0:48:36Origin, Indian. Only silver plated,
0:48:36 > 0:48:39low tens value. £20 to £40. It certainly should do that sort of region.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Great. He paid 20. So he should be in the money there for a bonus buy.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46- You would hope so. - And it's difficult enough, that job, isn't it?
0:48:46 > 0:48:48Good. Almost as difficult as your job.
0:48:48 > 0:48:50- You're taking the sale today? - I am.
0:48:50 > 0:48:55- I've got the easy job!- Have you? - Just take everybody's money! - Good on you, Colin!
0:49:02 > 0:49:06- You're looking a bit nervy, darling, what's the matter? - I'm just so excited!
0:49:06 > 0:49:09- Adrenalin pumping through my body! - Very excited and let's get going.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12Are you predicting great profits, Doug?
0:49:12 > 0:49:17- No, not great profits. A profit. - A profit. What about you, David, how do you see things going?
0:49:17 > 0:49:20Well, I see my legs quivering, as they always do!
0:49:20 > 0:49:22- There's a good crowd. - It's a great crowd! Brilliant.
0:49:22 > 0:49:27Three people and you'd be worried, but you couldn't get many more bods in this sale room.
0:49:27 > 0:49:30- First lot up is your teddy bottle, and here it comes.- Lot number 120.
0:49:30 > 0:49:341940s, '50s perfume bottle in the form of a golden plush teddy bear.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37What shall we say for this? Start me at £50 for it.
0:49:37 > 0:49:3940 to go, then. 40? 30 if we must. £30 bid.
0:49:39 > 0:49:4135 do I see now? 35 bid. 40? 40 bid.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Five anywhere else? At £60.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Are we done? We're finished. It's in the room and I'm selling at £60.
0:49:52 > 0:49:56Well, that's brilliant, isn't it? £60! Plus £5, that's a good start.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59Well done, you two. You found it. Next lot.
0:49:59 > 0:50:01A Tiffany-style modern hanging centre light.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Who's going to start me at £30 for this? 30? 10 to go, then.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Your bid, sir. 10 bid. At 10.
0:50:06 > 0:50:0810 bid. At 12 anywhere else now do I see?
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Come on! £12 may I say?
0:50:10 > 0:50:12At £10 bid. 12. 12 bid. 15? 15 bid.
0:50:12 > 0:50:1518 bid. 20. And two now.
0:50:15 > 0:50:18Have another one? Two anywhere else now? I need more.
0:50:18 > 0:50:19Last call then, we're going to sell.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22- All done and finished at £20.- Ow!
0:50:22 > 0:50:25Bad luck, that's minus £10 on that.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27You are now minus five.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Next up is your Vesta case.
0:50:29 > 0:50:34An Edwardian silver case of circular form, London 1903. 20 to go, then.
0:50:34 > 0:50:35- £20. 10, if we must.- Oh, come on!
0:50:35 > 0:50:38£10. Who's going to be first in at 10 for it? At 10?
0:50:38 > 0:50:3910 on the net. 10.
0:50:39 > 0:50:4110 bid. 12 bid. 15 do I see?
0:50:41 > 0:50:43- At 12 in the middle of the room. - Oh, please!
0:50:43 > 0:50:4715. 18 with the lady. 20 now. 20 bid.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50- Come on, it's worth a lot more than that.- £20 bid. Two now do I see?
0:50:50 > 0:50:54Two anywhere? 22 on the net. At 22. Five anywhere else now? At 22.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Five or not now, then going at £22 on the internet.
0:50:57 > 0:50:59- How much?- £22.
0:50:59 > 0:51:03You're minus £13 on that, which means you're minus 18 smackers.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05SHE LAUGHS
0:51:05 > 0:51:08- 18's my lucky number! - She's laughing like a drain!
0:51:08 > 0:51:10This answers all our questions now!
0:51:10 > 0:51:12She's laughing like a drain!
0:51:12 > 0:51:15- Thank you, Tim! - This says everything!
0:51:15 > 0:51:18- It doesn't say everything. - I'm going home.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20No, I think you've done extraordinarily well.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24- Minus 18 is no miserable score, I can tell you.- David will save us!
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- Well, are you going to go with it? - Yeah!- You are?- Yeah! Love it!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31- You are going to go with it? - Yes.- I'd buy it.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Japanese bronze censer, this time,
0:51:34 > 0:51:36with a cast birdcage finial cover. I'll take 20 to go.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38£20. 20 bid. Two now do I see?
0:51:38 > 0:51:41At £20 I'm bid. Two anywhere else now? At £20 I'm bid.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44- Two anywhere else now?- Oh, come on!
0:51:44 > 0:51:4628 now. 28 bid. 30.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Yes! Yes! Come on!
0:51:48 > 0:51:5138. 38 bid. 40. £40 bid. 42 now.
0:51:51 > 0:51:56- 42. 45. 48. 48 bid. 50? No. - Yes! Yes!
0:51:56 > 0:51:5948 bid. At 48. Selling then at £48.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- No!- Oh!- Come on!- £48.
0:52:03 > 0:52:04That is two shy of 50.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07That means you're minus £27 on that.
0:52:07 > 0:52:11OK, 27, 37, £45.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13You're minus £45 overall.
0:52:13 > 0:52:14Not bad!
0:52:14 > 0:52:15SHE LAUGHS
0:52:21 > 0:52:25- Jens, are you feeling confident about today?- Erm... Yes!
0:52:25 > 0:52:30- Yes?- Possibly, I don't know! I think the corkscrew is kind of worrying!
0:52:30 > 0:52:32What's worrying you about that corkscrew?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35The amount of money we might have spent on a corkscrew!
0:52:35 > 0:52:36130 quid for a corkscrew!
0:52:36 > 0:52:39You spent £130 on it. Well, Eddie found it. You found it...
0:52:39 > 0:52:43- At least I can blame him! - You're responsible! £130 you paid.
0:52:43 > 0:52:48The auctioneer thinks it's a great object. He's put £80 to £120 on it.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51- My God!- He's got lots of confidence in that corkscrew.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53- So, don't despair.- Fingers crossed!
0:52:53 > 0:52:58The original safety trademark cast iron bar corkscrew.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00What shall we say for this? Who is going to start me at
0:53:00 > 0:53:0230, then! Come on, 30.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07- £30 bid. Five now do I see?- Oh dear. - At 30 bid. Five anywhere else now?

0:53:18 > 0:53:22It's going. Just another 80 quid to go!
0:53:22 > 0:53:2745 anywhere else now? Going at £42.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Oh dear, this has not gone to plan!
0:53:29 > 0:53:32- It's disappointing, isn't it? - £42, not good.
0:53:32 > 0:53:34That's eight shy of 50.
0:53:34 > 0:53:38I think that's £88 down the drain, actually! Minus £88.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42- Oh dear, oh dear! - Over to you Mark, with the charger.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45John Maddock & Sons vitreous china plaque,
0:53:45 > 0:53:47very nice scene, presumably Verona.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00Five bid. 28 bid. 30 bid. 32 now.

0:54:05 > 0:54:10£38. Any more now? Selling at £38.
0:54:10 > 0:54:14Bad luck! That's minus £12, all right to back which, overall,
0:54:14 > 0:54:18means you're minus £100. With one lot to go. Here it comes.
0:54:18 > 0:54:23Set of Edwardian six electroplate napkin rings.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25I just have to figure out where we'll start.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27£22.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31- Oh!- 25, 28? 30, 32, 35, 38, bid 40.
0:54:31 > 0:54:3542, 45? 42 on the book. At 42.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Five anywhere else? At £42 bid, any more now?
0:54:37 > 0:54:40Are we all done?
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Selling at £42.
0:54:42 > 0:54:46£42 is minus £13.
0:54:46 > 0:54:51So you are minus 113. Minus 113.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54This is not how it's supposed to go.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57I think we might have broken the record for most money lost.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Have you ever lost more than that?
0:54:59 > 0:55:01It's difficult, isn't it?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Anyway, don't worry about it.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08It's minus £113. What are you going to do about the wise old owl box?
0:55:08 > 0:55:14- We can't lose much more. - Let's try and lose some more so let's go for the owl.
0:55:14 > 0:55:18The Indian silver-plated cylindrical patch box
0:55:18 > 0:55:21with hinge cover, embossed with an owl's mask.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23Let's give it a go, 30. Who's first?
0:55:23 > 0:55:25- 10 anyone? £10.- Oh...- 10?
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Thank you. 10, you've put me out of my misery.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30Put us out of ours!
0:55:30 > 0:55:3412. Late surge in the bidding. 13?
0:55:34 > 0:55:3613! That's the spirit!
0:55:36 > 0:55:3914, do I see? 14 bid. 15?
0:55:39 > 0:55:42No? At 14, bid. 15, do I see?
0:55:42 > 0:55:4915, bid. 16, do I see? It's the last call then, going at £15.
0:55:50 > 0:55:54£15, bad luck, that's minus £5 on that.
0:55:54 > 0:55:58Overall then you are minus £118.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00Result(!)
0:56:04 > 0:56:10It's so sad when we've got two such wonderful teams and we can only have one team of winners.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12- You haven't talked to one another? - No.
0:56:12 > 0:56:17- No.- Well, you won't be aware that both teams have made whopping great losses,
0:56:17 > 0:56:22but just one team has made a seriously whopping loss and that is of course the Blues.
0:56:24 > 0:56:26Anyway, £118.
0:56:28 > 0:56:32I'm afraid the score all the way down the line is minus, minus, minus, but you've had a great time?
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- Yes, it's been awesome.- Yeah!
0:56:34 > 0:56:36Awesome?
0:56:36 > 0:56:40Quite(!) Now, the Reds did manage to get a profit of £5 on one item
0:56:40 > 0:56:47and then it was a series of minuses too, but it just happens that your total minuses are only minus 45.
0:56:47 > 0:56:52- That's not bad. - Which in the scale of things is,
0:56:52 > 0:56:55as they say, not so bad.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57- Very good.- You've had a lovely time?
0:56:57 > 0:57:00- Yes.- You've had a lovely time?- Yes! - That's what it's all about.
0:57:00 > 0:57:04- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
