0:00:02 > 0:00:06Cor, they've got some right antiques here that you'd give your scalp or your right arm for.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:09 > 0:00:10No 'arm done, eh?!
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Today, we're in the pretty town of Oswestry,
0:00:37 > 0:00:42but just look what we've got coming up on the show for you today! Yes!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45The Reds are bickering.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47What do you think of this?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Um, I don't like it.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Women always have their way.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54The Blues are getting lost.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Not seen our expert, have you?
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And one of the teams gets a bit over-excited at the auction.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- 45!- She hasn't sold it to you.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Did you know that behind the name Oswestry
0:01:08 > 0:01:10lies a rather gruesome tale?
0:01:10 > 0:01:15The name is believed to have come from Oswald's Tree,
0:01:15 > 0:01:18a myth dating back to the year 642.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20After King Oswald of Northumbria
0:01:20 > 0:01:22was killed in battle,
0:01:22 > 0:01:23he was dismembered
0:01:23 > 0:01:24and an eagle stole an arm
0:01:24 > 0:01:26and dropped it in a tree,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29hence it became known as Oswald's Tree.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And here it is today.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34How do you do? Nice to meet you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Hmm. Cold.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Let's hope that our teams' purchases today
0:01:38 > 0:01:40don't cost us an arm and a leg.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46The rules are simple. With £300 at their disposal,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50the teams have just one hour to find three items with an eye to making a profit
0:01:50 > 0:01:52when they're sold at auction.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And the experts on hand to help them win today
0:01:55 > 0:01:59are Charles Hanson and Jonathan Pratt.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03And they'll be lending a hand to two lots of Reds and Blues today.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08For the Red team today, we've got friends and neighbours,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Derek and Georgina. Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16And for the Blues, we've got TC - Tony and Carol - our married couple.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Congratulations on that.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Now, how long have you two known each other?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Ten years, three months and two days.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26And what do you do, Derek?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'm part of a design and build company
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and I do the drawing side of it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35We build, probably, mostly domestic work,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38but some commercial as well.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- So you're an architect, sort of? - Sort of.- Sort of.- Sort of.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Georgina, what do you do, darling?
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- I'm an enrichment co-ordinator at Shrewsbury College in Shrewsbury. - An enrichment co-ordinator?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And what does that mean? Are you going to enrich our lives?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56I would love to enrich your lives! I enrich our students' lives
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and I implement into our curriculum
0:02:58 > 0:03:02external agencies that come in and speak and present
0:03:02 > 0:03:07on a wide range of activities from police talks to circus skills.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09What sort of things do you collect?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I like collecting Victorian and Edwardian children's books.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Are you going to be buying that sort of thing today?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Gosh, I hope so. Yes, I'd love to, yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Good luck with that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Now, you two, how long have you been hitched?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Go on.- 40 years next week.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Is it? Well, congratulations for next week.- Thank you.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So how did you two meet, then?
0:03:31 > 0:03:38We met on a blind date. Some friends of mine went to see Tony in a play that he was in
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and they came back and said he was just what I needed.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Oh!- I don't know why!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45THEY LAUGH
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Now, Carol, you've travelled extensively, but there's one place that's your favourite.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Yes. We love Australia, cos our son lives there. - What's he called?- Jonathan.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Well, that's lovely, cos you've got a Jonathan today as your expert. - Ah, right!
0:03:58 > 0:04:03You've got Jonathan Pratt and you can treat him as if he's your surrogate Australian son.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- How good is that?- Great!
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- So, Tony, do you two work together at home?- Yes, we do.
0:04:08 > 0:04:14We've got our own business and I've been working at home for ten years by myself.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Then Carol joined two years ago.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Fortunately, we do get on very well, don't we?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24However, when the office was mine, it was great.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Everything was spick and span, I knew where everything was,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30nothing was out of place. The minute Carol comes in,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33everything starts to encroach into my territory.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37So her side of the office is a tip and mine's nice and neat.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Don't believe him! - It is! You know it is!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43They're going to do well. They're going to do well!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Now, the money moment. Here you go - £300 apiece.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go and very, very good luck.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53And you've only got 60 minutes!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Right, we're with you. - I'm feeling really good!
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Confident.- Inside, right? - Yes, please.- Lead the way, Derek.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Let's start looking - we've only got an hour. I think we're outside, then...- Yes!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15..with gold and pearls, late 19th century. £25.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's very pretty, isn't it?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- It's sycamore. - Yeah, it is sycamore, I think.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- What would it be - 1830s? Early 19th century? Mid-19th?- 1831.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Oh, really?- December. HE LAUGHS
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Are we OK just to split up so I go round here?- Yep.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34You're welcome to look on another stall. Just keep wandering around.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We'll regroup. We just need to cover a lot of ground.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41That's a dangerous tactic, Jonathan. Don't lose your flock!
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Charles also has his work cut out with the Reds.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- I like that.- Where's the lady in my life?- Here.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- What do you think of this? - Um, I don't like it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53OK. She's made her decision.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- Long way to go. - We'll come back to that one, Derek.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Keep going. - Women always have their way.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03That's right, Derek, and don't you forget it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10- Are these spoons individual or...? - Flatware's a great area to collect, Derek. Look at them all here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- They are superb.- What are they? - I saw those, they're nice.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- What are they?- They're little menu stands.- Of course! You put the name card there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- If you're having dinner, you might put your name on a little card... - They're different.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28These are really novel. They're 1904, they're very forward-thinking.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32What is your absolute best price on them?
0:06:32 > 0:06:33£110.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38- I think they're good quality. - I've got £185 on those. - That's a very good discount.- It is.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41If you let us have them for £100, we'd buy them now.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47She's Irish and she'll bless you with good luck!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49We have a very small budget.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Well, we could be relatives, so...yes. I'll take £100 for them.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Are you buying them?- Yes.- Right.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- They are nice things.- And they've got the case.- Exactly. OK?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Yes.- Well, that's a job done. I hope you stand by your decision.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08There's no messing with these guys! Just ten minutes gone and item one in the bag.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Do you want to see something really nice? Have you seen that?
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Victorian milk churn pepper. Saunders and Shepherd. Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- I like that, actually.- What do you think, though, it would fetch?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Well, novelty items sell very well at auction.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Obviously, we're dealing with what you sell here and what you sell at auction.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34At auction, you get a very wide buying public, so you have to be selective when you're buying silver.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38That's when you get the collectors involved. They might be interested in paying...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40£20 more than the next person.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42What would be your best price, seriously?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Let me just have a look what I paid for it. To make some money on?- Yeah.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48So you've a chance with it, you can have it for £70.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- That's 30% off. I ain't going anywhere else with it. - I was thinking of £70, actually.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I ain't going anywhere else with it, cos I need to make some money.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- He needs to make money. - Yep, fine. OK. Thank you very much. - It's a deal.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Well done, Blues, and a great lesson in negotiating.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- Gas rattle?- 1939.- Still works.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- How much is the flag, please, sir? - £25.- Is it really?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- That's with the pole.- Fantastic. - Has it got a brass pole?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Have you got the other bit there, please?- Where's it from, sir?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I don't know where it's from, quite honestly.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28It's very nice.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- £20.- As a special gesture. - To me. Let's wave the flag.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- £15.- Oh, no! I got it for £25! - £25? £17.50.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40£18.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- £18.- Oh, wow. That's a bargain. Thank you, sir. You're a good man.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- I really appreciate it.- Thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48# Cool, Britannia, Britannia... #
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Are you lumbered with that? Do you want to...?- Wave the flag, eh?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- No.- No, no.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00That's quite a nice picture.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- A lady. Can you see her?- Yep. - Attractive lady?- Very.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Jonathan?- Yeah?- What do you think?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Um, that's rather smart, actually. A little bit of Mauchline ware.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- Quite a novelty little item. - What do you think that would...? If we could get it down in price.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- It sounds a lot, doesn't it? - It seems a lot to me.- Yeah. Um...
0:09:26 > 0:09:32If we got £40 for it at auction, we'd be doing OK.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36And the price is above that. I think it's certainly a possible.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- We should earmark that. There are two things...- Yeah. Go and see what you can do.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Go on, flutter your eyes. THEY LAUGH
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- It's a possible one, that one.- Yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54- We like this, but we can't afford £48.- Yes.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56We've only got so much. What could you do it for?
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Um, my best on that will be £40.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- Would it? You couldn't come down any more?- Sorry, no. That would be it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06'£40 paid for the wooden money box.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10'But with minutes to spare, now is not the time to go wandering off.'
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Not seen our expert, have you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Jonathan?- Yes?- We've got five minutes.- Five minutes.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Watch this. Ready?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26We always test the quality of a cigarette case by the spring. Ready?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Look at that.- Wow!- Wonderful.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- They're not PC, though, are they? - It's 86.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34£86? Well, I think it's nice. Um...
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Do your stuff.- Well, we've spent most of our money now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44We've got about £40 to £45 left.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I could meet you at... £60 would be my absolute cut-off price.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52It's worth £60 just as silver.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54But if we don't buy this, we'll buy something else.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I know! And I'll lose £20.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59£45. That's our best price.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Let me have your £45 and you'll really do well with that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Thank you very much.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Thank you, sir.- Well done. - Appreciate it.- Thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Are you happy with that? - I'm really... You were determined.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Ha-ha! You were very determined.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14The Blues are down to the wire.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18They've found two pieces of silver, but can only choose one.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's decision time, team.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Three minutes, now. Three minutes. - What else is there?
0:11:23 > 0:11:24How much did you say? 58?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Yeah.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Wait a minute, is this better than that moustache brush?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Cos that's the novelty item. - How much is the moustache brush?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37You've got 20-something on there. What's your best price on that?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39You can't lose money on that moustache brush.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I would prefer that to that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44The seconds are counting away.
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- That one.- That one.- How much?
0:11:45 > 0:11:4722, he said.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- 22.- Yes, he said 22.- Shake the man's hand before the clock stops.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51OK, that's it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- OK.- Thank you very much.- Oh, I've never known anything like it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The pressure is enormous, isn't it?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Oh!
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Ooh, size isn't everything!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Time's up!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17For starters, the Red team bought this set of six silver
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Edwardian menu stands.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22For mains, we'll keep the flag flying
0:12:22 > 0:12:24with this Union flag.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And for dessert,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31how about this George V cigarette case?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yummy!
0:12:33 > 0:12:34How much did you spend?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36We spent £163.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38You spent £163?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- £137 of leftover lolly. Is that complete?- Yes, that's right.- 137.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- That goes to Charles.- Thank you.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, what are you going to do with all that money, then?
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Derek's quite hot and sweaty, so something which is going to be sultry for Shrewsbury.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53And it's going to stir the masses and do very well.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- What a wordsmith you are!- I know.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Anyway, let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Will this silver pepper caster shake things up at the auction?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09How much money will the Mauchline ware money box make 'em?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13And keep a stiff upper lip for this embossed silver moustache brush.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Yeah!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20How much did you spend overall?
0:13:20 > 0:13:27- 132.- 132. So, does that mean I want £168, please?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Unfortunately, yes.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- 168 of leftover lolly. - There you go.- That's 168.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35What we're interested in seeing is whether Pratt makes more profit
0:13:35 > 0:13:37in his suit or out of his suit.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40That's your challenge, then, with your bargain hunt.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It's the no-suit Bargain Hunt challenge! Off you go.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, we've popped east to Shrewsbury,
0:13:58 > 0:14:01or as some people like to say, "Shroosbury",
0:14:01 > 0:14:05to be at Halls saleroom on the banks of the river
0:14:05 > 0:14:08with the managing director, boss, Jeremy Lamond.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Nice to see you.- Hello. Nice to see you.- Lovely to be here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Now, first up for the Red team, Derek and Georgina.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17They've gone with these oddball spherical holders.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Are they things that you rate?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23When they're cased like that in a presentation case, yes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25People like them and they still use them.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Um...60-100. I don't know what they paid.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- £100 they paid.- All right. Might get their money back or a bit more.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Bit more would be nice! Anyway, we shall see.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38The Union flag...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40found by Charles Hanson.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44And, er...somebody always wants a flag, especially in this country,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- so it will sell to somebody, er... - What sort of price?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- £30? £40?- Well, he'll be really chuffed about that,
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- cos he only paid £18.- Oh, fine.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55So that's a sure-fire winner, we hope!
0:14:55 > 0:15:00And what about the cigarette case? Engine-turned, enamelled fellow.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Well, it's fine, but nobody smokes any more, do they?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08So, Jeremy, what's your estimate on this cigarette case?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13- 40-60.- Well, that's not so bad. £45 they paid. £40-60 estimate,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- that's very fair. - They should be OK with that.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Well, in fact, it's so fair, they may not need their bonus buy,
0:15:20 > 0:15:22but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- BOTH: Oh!- That's lovely!- I like that instantly.- Yes, I like that.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- Is that Art Deco?- It is. It's small, it's neat, it's tidy.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- It's really pretty.- It's like you!
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I like it. It's a really nice, decorative timepiece
0:15:38 > 0:15:42made by John Henry Wynn, hallmarked for Birmingham, 1931.
0:15:42 > 0:15:48And I think really it ought to make at auction between £30 and £40...
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Lovely.- ..in my opinion.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Well, you've heard the man say it. You could double your money.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56That's what he's just said. That's what you need to remember.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58You're not going to choose right now,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00you choose after the sale of your first three items.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02But for the viewers at home, let's find out
0:16:02 > 0:16:06what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' little clock.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10It's engine-turned, so it's been lovingly made by a machine.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- We're looking at £30-50 at auction. - OK, fine. £20 is all Charles paid.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Well, he'll be all right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Well, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Tony and Carol.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Their first item is the pepper caster.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now is that not a gem?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I think this is a good little object.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Our buyers like novelty.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36We think 50-70, but it might make more than that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- It could make £100.- Very good. Jonathan Pratt paid £70 for it.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- That's all right. - I think it's all right.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46On the other hand, the second item has come quite a long way
0:16:46 > 0:16:52- from "bonny Scotland".- Yes, this is a Mauchline ware money box
0:16:52 > 0:16:53in the form of a barrel...
0:16:53 > 0:16:57These are very much collected. A lot of it about.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Nice little object. - Yeah, good little thing.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03And what's that likely to bring, do you think?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Probably not a great deal. 20-30? - Fine. £40 they paid.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Now, the last item is rather intriguing, isn't it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- It is.- The silver-handled brush,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15but what would you have brushed with it, Jeremy?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Well, when it came in...
0:17:18 > 0:17:23I have to admit that we've catalogued it as you have described it -
0:17:23 > 0:17:25as a moustache brush,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27but, um...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29it could be a little silver toothbrush.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It looks much more like a little toothbrush to me.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34So how much do you think?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Um...£20 or £30 if it is a toothbrush.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45- Right. £22 paid, so that really does have some potential.- Yes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48OK, great. Well, three very interesting items there.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Toto and Carol, you spent £132. Yes?- Yep, we did.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Miserable amount. You gave £168 to Jonathan to find your bonus buy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03What did he spend it on?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, I was a bit more frugal than normal. I spent...
0:18:07 > 0:18:08..a little bit on it.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09THEY LAUGH
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Oh!- On a cuckoo clock.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- Cuckoo.- It sounds quiet, doesn't it? Cuckoo!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Does it work? - Um...that's a moot point.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Um...
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- like the clock!- We're talking about a clock that doesn't work.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Well, it's more... It's a great shape.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31It's Black Forest. It's late 19th, early 20th century,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34carved in pine, but there are great collectors of this sort of thing,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38and cos of its shape, it has a slightly more novelty feel about it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I mean, for £50, that is not a lot of money.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44And it's got its little birdie still in the turret...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Jonathan's stuck his neck out.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49The bird's about to stick its beak out.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54For the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks owt about nowt.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Is it true that a cuckoo is the first sign of spring?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Well, it could well be.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06This one unhappily won't tell you it's the first sign of spring,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08cos he's detached from his bellow,
0:19:08 > 0:19:09so he can't cuckoo.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11BELLOW WHISTLES
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And the other one is a bit sad, so...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16We've got a "cuck" and no "oo".
0:19:16 > 0:19:21Well, one's got a "cuck" and the other hasn't got a spring, so...
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- No "oo".- ..no spring!- No. What's it worth, do you think?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28About £40 like that.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31OK. £50 paid by Jonathan. So, um...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33we may have a false spring here.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Yes.- Anyway...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- who's taking the sale? - Christina will be our auctioneer.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41We'll look forward to that. Thanks.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Now, Derek, Georgina, how are you feeling?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Excited.- Quietly confident. - Confident.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00First up, the silver menu holder fellows and here they come.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02The moment of truth.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Lot 220. The case set of six silver place markers.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58At £45. Bidding in the room, then, at £45.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18£20 for it, for the cigarette case.
0:21:18 > 0:21:2020 is bid. Thank you. And 5.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29- on my left.- Come on, come on! 45!- Sh! And 5?

0:21:33 > 0:21:35She hasn't sold it to you, has she?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36No.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- 45.- £45. Wiped its face.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44You are plus £57, which is an achievement.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47£57.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Profit!- Yes!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53You only spent £163 and you've made £57 profit,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57which is brilliant. Now what are you going to do about the timepiece?
0:21:57 > 0:21:58It cost Charles £20.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02You can park it or you can play it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04BOTH: We're going to play it!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- You're going to play it, all right. - It's timely!
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Lot 226 is the silver-cased engine-turned timepiece

0:22:21 > 0:22:23At £30. Are we all done at £30?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27And 5. On the front row, at £35.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Are we all done at 35?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I will sell, then, make no mistake, at 35.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- £35. Well done, Charles.- Yes!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Very good. Plus £15 on that.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Team hug.- 57...67...£72.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Plus £72. How good is that? You happy about that?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Oh, lovely!- I'm just amazed.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Well done. That's very good.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Now, TC, Top Cat...
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Toto and Carol...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- No idea.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Lovely. Have you got any idea, Jonathan?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- I haven't got a scooby. - Have you not?- No.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09That is patently obvious. Only joking!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- How are you feeling, Toto? - I'm feeling really positive.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Honestly. We will do well, won't we? - We will do well.
0:23:16 > 0:23:22Right, first up is the silver pepper churn and here it comes.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Lot 242 is the silver novelty pepperette
0:23:25 > 0:23:28in the form of a milk churn. Lot 242.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33How about that for £30 anywhere? For a silver novelty pepperette?
0:23:33 > 0:23:3430's bid, thank you. And 5.
0:23:34 > 0:23:3740. 5. 50.
0:23:37 > 0:23:395. 60.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41At £60 on my right, then.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43£60. Are we all done at £60?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Selling, then. Make no mistake. - Come on!- At £60.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Oh!- Did she sell it for £60? - She did, I think.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52I can't believe that! £60!
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Lot 243. £20 for it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57£20. £20's bid on the front row.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Thank you. At £20.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00All done, then, at £20?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02And 2. 25.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06- At £25, still on the front row, then.- Come on!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08All done then at £25.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Oh!- Well, that's that. £25.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12That's minus £15.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- All going rather well, isn't it(?) - I'm still positive.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Lot 244, by Levi & Salaman,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- Birmingham, 1906.- Lot 244.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25How about that for 20? 20's bid, thank you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26And 2.
0:24:26 > 0:24:32At £22. At the back then at £22. With you, madam, at £22.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37- Are we all done?- Go, go!- Up!- I will sell, make no mistake, at £22.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Minus £25.- Oh!- I think that's shameful, that.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44But let's not burst into tears. Let's think about the bonus buy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Let's be positive about this. - I'm feeling a bit cuckoo.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Are you feeling a bit cuckoo? You're looking cuckoo, Toto.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54What do you think, Toto? Are you going to go cuckoo?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It wasn't my ideal thing, but we'll go for it.- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02- Here it comes.- Lot 248 is the early 20th century, Black Forest-style,
0:25:02 > 0:25:03stained pine cuckoo clock.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09And I have interest here with me at £25, £35. With me on commission
0:25:09 > 0:25:12at £35. With me at 35. At £35.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Are we all done at 35?- No.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I will sell. 40, madam?
0:25:16 > 0:25:1945. Thank you, anyway. At £45.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- She stopped, that woman, at 45.- £45.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Oh! Jonathan, that is bad luck, isn't it?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- £45.- Thank you so much(!)
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You're minus £5 on that,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34which means overall, you're minus £30.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- All right?- Not bad. - It's not bad, is it?
0:25:36 > 0:25:41Carol, you are a wonderfully positive person, aren't you?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It could've been worse! - What a dreamboat, eh?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Not for us, it couldn't! We only spent a hundred and something!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50So, unlucky for the Blues, who made a total loss of £30,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52making the Reds the winner,
0:25:52 > 0:25:56as, remember, they made a neat little profit of £72, bless 'em!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Coming up, two more teams prepare to go bargain hunting,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02but first I'm heading off to somewhere rather stately.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Attingham Park in Shropshire was built in 1785
0:26:15 > 0:26:19for Noel Hill, the first Lord Berwick.
0:26:19 > 0:26:26It was inherited by his son, Thomas, second Lord Berwick, in 1789.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30His story is one of obsession, extravagance
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and ultimate great financial loss.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Thomas just loved to spend money, and he did it very well.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Too well, in fact. Nothing pleased him more than to visit Italy or London
0:26:41 > 0:26:45and return laden with works of art to furnish his new home.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52Needing a suitably grand place to display his collection of pictures,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56he commissioned the architect John Nash to design him this spectacular picture gallery,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01with its novel, illuminated ceiling with iron elements,
0:27:01 > 0:27:06rich red walls to show off the gorgeous pictures and porphyry columns.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Oo-ar!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Thomas's extravagant spending continued unchecked,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and he finally met his downfall
0:27:17 > 0:27:22in the shape of one 17-year-old French courtesan, Sophia Dubochet.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25He promptly married her, unsuitably,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28social ignominy and unhappiness ensued,
0:27:28 > 0:27:33but the two of them nevertheless managed to work their way through the family coffers,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37and eventually Thomas was declared bankrupt.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43In 1827, Thomas had to watch practically the entire contents of Attingham
0:27:43 > 0:27:47being sold off in an enormous 16-day auction.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51But one of the pieces which was not sold was retained,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53is this little delight.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Now, the central element is of course a harp,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01but a harp that's been most exquisitely crafted.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06If you look at the strings, each of those are graduated,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08as they would be in a real harp,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12and the detailing in, for example,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16the metalwork on this scroll top piece, is extraordinary.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19And in front of the harp, we've got a most curious
0:28:19 > 0:28:23patinated metal little monkey.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28The whole creation sits on a sheet of mother-of-pearl.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And then a concave-sided base which has been cast
0:28:31 > 0:28:36and raised with lyres and strands of foliage.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40All in all, a massive amount of workmanship
0:28:40 > 0:28:43has been used to create this thing.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Concealed within the base is a musical movement.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49And the clue to that, of course,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52is this little key sticking out on the side.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56So, let's give it a tweak and see what happens.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Half a turn, I think.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04MUSIC BOX TINKLES
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Isn't that charming?
0:29:15 > 0:29:20All in all, an absolute tour de force of Swiss workmanship.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24'Hmm. Back at Oswestry, will our two new teams find a tour de force
0:29:24 > 0:29:27'of their own as they go in search of bargains?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30'Time to meet our new pairs of Reds and Blues.'
0:29:33 > 0:29:41Today we have little sister Roxanne with her big brother, Lance, for the Reds. Welcome.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44And two pastors for the Blues, Rob and Phil.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Welcome to Bargain Hunt. Very nice to see you.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50So, Roxanne, you're quite accustomed to this acting lark, aren't you?
0:29:50 > 0:29:57Yes, I am. I've been in a small budget film around the local area called Vicious Culture.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59And what were you in Vicious Culture?
0:29:59 > 0:30:04I was a mean solicitor, and I sent down an innocent man.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- Did you really?- Yes, it was really bad.- That's terrible.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10- I know. - Lance, what do you do with yourself?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- I'm a chef at a local hotel. - And when did you start cooking?
0:30:14 > 0:30:19I started cooking when I was about 14, just doing starters and things, and built it up from there.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Do you cook for yourself at home?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Do you like cooking kind of for relaxation or is it just too much?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28Yeah, I do like cooking but obviously when you're working a lot,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31cooking with food, when you get home it's nice to just relax.
0:30:31 > 0:30:37- And is it interesting, cooking a new dish and creating a new menu? - Definitely, yeah.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42When you create a new menu, the menu changes probably every couple of days or so, so always busy.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- Good for you. Anyway, you're up for the challenge today, you two? - Yeah.- Oh, yes.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48And I think you're a smashing couple.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Anyway, good luck. Now, Rob, you've been a pastor now for five years.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- That's right, yes.- So what lead you into this line of work?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58For the last 21 years, I've been involved in industry
0:30:58 > 0:31:02as an operations manager, but for the last six years, I guess, well,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- six years ago I felt the call of God on my life.- So what happens?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10In the middle of the night do you get a thunderbolt come? A vision? What is it?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- It's something that builds over a number of months.- Oh, I see.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15It's something you discuss with family.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16It was a big decision for the family.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Were you a practising Christian before?- Yes.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21So you had discovered God.
0:31:21 > 0:31:22That's right. Since 1985.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Well, you've made your bed and now you're in it. Are you happy?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Very, very happy. - That's the main thing, isn't it?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Phil, do you enjoy the job, then?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Oh, yes. Best job in the world.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38We do stuff, it's great to be able to give good news in a bad-news world. We love doing our job.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42You've been out and about and had a few accidents on windy days, haven't you?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Yeah, when I first went into the ministry a number of years ago,
0:31:45 > 0:31:49I managed to drop my Bible at a funeral, at a graveside.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I dropped it in the hole.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Which wasn't very good. The wind caught it and it kind of fell in.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- What do you do - nip in and get it back?- Fortunately, I had a very, very good funeral director
0:31:59 > 0:32:01who fetched it back out for me.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I suppose he has one of those long arm type things?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- It doesn't happen very often, apparently.- Apparently not. Just as well!
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Anyway, I hope you have a great time today on Bargain Hunt.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13We come to the money moment. Here you go.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16£300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Your experts await. Off you go, and very, very good luck.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31So...£300, two experts and one hour to find three items
0:32:31 > 0:32:33that will make a profit at auction.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Hopefully.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Now, are the Blues reflecting on their first item already?
0:32:39 > 0:32:43You know, I saw that. I'm purposefully covering my thumb over that because the shape of that,
0:32:43 > 0:32:49it shows you a little bit of the neo-classical influence of the late 19th century, and the
0:32:49 > 0:32:52sharpness of the edge, it's not a piece of heavily cabinet made stuff.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56It's usable but the mirror is a bit sort of mottled.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Small, functional items in homes are very easy.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01That's what your missus says about you all the time.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- What, useless?- No, no...! - I didn't say that!
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Anyway, look at that. Small, functional and very useful.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Thank you very much.
0:33:12 > 0:33:1515 quid. At auction, you sell things rarely for less than 15 quid.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17You know what? Anyone would think you were an expert.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Well, I'm convincing. I bet you get the same reaction in church.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Let's have a chat with the stallholder on that one.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29So, while the Blue team reflect on the oak wall mirror...
0:33:29 > 0:33:32It's got all of its anatomy.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33..the Reds continue their search,
0:33:33 > 0:33:37but they don't look like they're about to make any snap decisions.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40We'll come back and get that one if we can't find anything else.
0:33:40 > 0:33:45The Blues, on the other hand, might just be about to make their first buy of the day.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50- We'll give you a tenner. Tell you what, 11 quid.- 11 quid.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Brilliant. Nice one.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53That's how you do it, Blues.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59- It's OK. I didn't break it.- And that's how you DON'T do it, Reds.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- We'll have a think about it. - Yeah, can we come back?
0:34:01 > 0:34:06- Thank you awfully.- My advice is, less thinking, more buying, Roxanne.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09You've had over half an hour already.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- How often do they come up?- Not very often. It's very decorative.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16How much is the Poole uplighter?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- 50. It had 65 on. - It's a colourful thing.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22But at 45, I'd say 40, maybe.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- 40, go on, then. - I wouldn't have said 40.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I'd have said 30.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Don't listen to him! What does he know?
0:34:30 > 0:34:35I'll tell you what I know - you'll get 65. It all depends at auction.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- 30 quid.- 35.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- They're a couple of vicars. - 35, go on, then. Yeah, go on.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- 35 quid.- It's decorative.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Nice one.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- I don't like it, but it's always very popular.- Where's the auction?
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Shrewsbury.
0:34:51 > 0:34:57Our ministers see the light and buy it with just £46 spent in total, thanks to some ruthless bargaining.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Get a move on!- We're coming, we're coming, we're coming.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Charles's team, meanwhile, have yet to spend a single penny.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07There we are. Look at that.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Is it Charles Horner, or do we know who it's by?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12And the date code must be, what?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- I'm not sure, actually. - It's like a Blue Peter badge.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20In fact it's Chester silver, and Chester stopped hallmarking in 1962.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22We've got the lion passant, we all know that, sterling silver.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25The lady has said we can have it for £20 which,
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- to me, is quite reasonable.- Would you mind buying a brooch, Lance?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31No, I'm not buying it for myself!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I like it. It's very nice.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37It's got that very sort of Celtic feel about it. The Arts and Crafts.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Is there any lower price on it? Would you do it for any lower?
0:35:40 > 0:35:41I think 20 is a good price, really.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yeah, you're going to settle on 20.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Not £18, maybe?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48She's very good.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50It's brother and sister, you see.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53I'm looking for the best I can get for it, basically.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- I'll do 18.- Good lady. We'll take it.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01- Thanks, madam.- Finally, after 45 minutes of indecisive dithering,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04the Red team buy their very first item.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Oh! My nose!
0:36:06 > 0:36:10And now it looks like the Blue team are more focused on mucking about,
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- this could be a chance for the Reds to catch up.- More tea, vicar?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16More tea, vicar! That is a good idea!
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- That's nice, isn't it? That's beautiful.- Silver flask.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30What you've got first and foremost is an enamel lid.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33It quite clearly screws open like that.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36There you've got... You'd have had a stopper inside.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41It's, I suppose, a little decanter, a little spirit flask.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Sweet. Look at that wonderful chase design. Can you see in the light?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Nice find, that.- So it's supposed to have the stopper in it?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It would have a stopper originally. It wouldn't be difficult to replace.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I've never really seen them with enamel as the lid before.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Normally it's... - It's unusual, isn't it?
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I really like it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03The hallmark is London. It must be about 1918,
0:37:03 > 0:37:06so it's George V. A nice object. Your price, £75.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Hopefully you've got your book there and you can...
0:37:12 > 0:37:1360?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16The sweet thing is, the quality is superb.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- But it's just that silver sleeve. - Would 50 help?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I do like that. I do like that a lot.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Time's running out, Roxy. So don't take too long to decide.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Meanwhile, the Blues have time in hand. Literally.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33I'll tell you what, that's had very little use.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- What's that going for? - He's asking 75 for it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41If I have a gold-plated pocket watch that comes in,
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I'll immediately say, you know,
0:37:44 > 0:37:4530-40, £40-£60.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Whatever the guy's best price on that would be...
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- We can debate that. - That's the Liverpool one, you see.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54That one's better. Do you know why?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Because it ticks with the right accent.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- You've got to be kidding!- It does.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00It goes, "Tick, tock."
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Personally, I'd say the gold-plated one would be easier to sell.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08So we might come back and have a discussion about that one.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Can we keep that somewhere?
0:38:11 > 0:38:15We will come back. But that helps us. That's a nice start.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Nice one, good start.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20It looks like indecision could be catching today.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22We've only got seven minutes left
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- and we've got two objects to find. - OK.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28If I were you, I'd go back to the flask!
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Your sort of thing, that...- Hello.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Get a move on! What are these here?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36We've got three minutes to get back.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Finally!
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Hello. We're back for this. - We've only got two minutes.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- How much did you say you could do this for?- 50.- 50? Yes, we'll do it.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- We've only got 45 left. We haven't got £50.- Have we not?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- No.- We've only got £45 left, would that be OK?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Will that be OK? Oh, brilliant.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Nice object. Yeah, nice object.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Pressure, pressure! Right, one more to find.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Well, look at that, the little minx!
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Roxanne, according to my maths, you've still got £237 left!
0:39:04 > 0:39:07- That's a Brixton number! - Is that your parish?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- It's calling home. I worked in Brixton.- Did you?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I was just looking at that.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- 1892.- That's really pretty, isn't it? Isn't that lovely?- Yeah.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- What's this, in the middle? - That's tortoiseshell.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20That's tortoiseshell.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Erm... But in fact, it's hallmarked for London 1892.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26What's the best price, sir?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- What have I got on the ticket?- £75. - Oh, well...
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Obviously, you want to make a profit, don't you?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35My guide price on this, Roxy, would be between £50 and £70, Lance.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38We'll do it for 60.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I was thinking around £60, you know, to ask for it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- I'll do it for 60, yeah. - I really like it.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47- There's a lot of work gone into the work on the silver.- Quite right.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- You know...- Could we squeeze an extra five pounds out, do you think?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- 55?- I'll tell you what we'll do... - Yes.- ..we'll do it for 58.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- We'll come back to you, sir. - Definitely come back.- Thanks.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Come back?! You've got to be kidding!
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- There's less than two minutes to go! - That's pretty, isn't it?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05It's very pretty. I like that one.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12We've got a minute left. The clock is ticking.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- So why don't we...?- Get a watch?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Very good.- At least the Blues have got the right idea.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Remember, there are just seconds left to go, Reds!
0:40:23 > 0:40:24God, we've got a minute and a half!
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Could you just whip out the clock we looked at before?
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We like the watch, we like the case.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- We've got a minute left. - 45 quid.- With the chain?
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- Will you throw a chain in? - Nice chain? A decent chain.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I wouldn't go with the chain, to be honest with you.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Wouldn't go with the chain. - £40 without the chain.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- 40 quid without a chain. - Go on.- Come on.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- It's nearly Christmas. - Yeah? Great, thanks a lot.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Good man.- Top man.- Sold.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Excellent. Job done, son.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- D'you know what? That's a bargain. - That's a bargain. Nice one!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I definitely want to go for that. We haven't got much time.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Got about 10 seconds.- It's yours! - Yeah!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Thank you very much. That's for you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Oh, thank God!
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Right, time on our hands.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09- Thank you very much.- Time up!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11High-five!
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Yikes! Two seconds to spare for the Reds,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16but they do now have all three items.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26After a slow start, the Red team sail off
0:41:26 > 0:41:30with the Arts and Crafts brooch for £18.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Lance took a shine to the George V scent bottle and snapped it up
0:41:35 > 0:41:37with just five minutes to go.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39And, after more dilly-dallying,
0:41:39 > 0:41:44the Reds finally bought a decorative tortoiseshell tray, priced at £58.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- How much did you spend?- £121.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Is that all?- Yes.- £121?- I know.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Leave it for me, the big finale, the final curtain, I shall spend it all.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57£121, that means, do I want £179?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- 179.- Yeah, and I have it here. - 179...
0:42:00 > 0:42:02There you go, there's a lot there.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06There's my week in Corfu!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Well, it is, isn't it? A week in Corfu currently for four people!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Well, come along! - Oh, thank you very much.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- What do you want Charles to buy for the bonus?- Anything quirky.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Yeah.- Mysterious and quirky, there's your challenge.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- And maybe Chinese as well, Tim. - Oh, Chinese, mysterious and quirky!
0:42:22 > 0:42:24There's a big hint.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Now, let's see what the Blues bought.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28They got off to a raring start
0:42:28 > 0:42:31with a compact oak wall mirror priced at £11.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38After a bit of haggling, they paid £35 for the Poole Pottery light.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41And finally, in the last minute, they bought themselves
0:42:41 > 0:42:45a bit of time, literally, in the form of a gold-plated pocket watch.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Now listen, how much did you spend?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Well, we spent, in total, £86.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- £86?!- Yes.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Does that mean there's £214 in the collection plate?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00- There is a lot in the collection plate.- £214.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05- But as always, with the collection plate, hand it over.- To ME!
0:43:05 > 0:43:06There you go!
0:43:19 > 0:43:24Today we are with Halls Auctioneers in Shrewsbury, with Jeremy Lamont.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Very nice to see you, Jeremy. - Nice to see you, too.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31Now, Lance and Roxanne for the Reds went with this brooch.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34Bit of a Valkyrie brooch here.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37Yes, it looks very Georg Jensen, doesn't it?
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- Yes.- Looking at the Viking theme,
0:43:39 > 0:43:41certainly a Scandinavian theme to it.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43How much do you think it's worth?
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- 30 to 50?- Great.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- £18 was paid by Charles Hanson. - I think that was good.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52And that's not a bad buy in silver, is it? Nicely made.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Next is the scent or gin flask.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58This is quite a decorative one.
0:43:58 > 0:44:00It's been wheel cut.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04But it is incomplete, as you can see, there's no cup.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06We've put 40 to 60 on it.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- If it had the bottom, you'd be looking at 150, 200.- Yes.
0:44:10 > 0:44:1440-60 is fine, though, because Lance paid £45 for it.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- That's OK. - That's not too bad, is it?
0:44:17 > 0:44:21Next is this little tray.
0:44:21 > 0:44:22We've called it a pin tray
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- but could it be a desk stand for a little ink bottle?- Could be.
0:44:26 > 0:44:31It's an unusual little item and very decorative, so we think £30 to £50.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35£58 paid by Roxanne for that so she may have just gone over the top
0:44:35 > 0:44:39- but the strange thing is, odd little bits of silver, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41There are people who are intrigued.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42They're always in vogue, aren't they?
0:44:42 > 0:44:44In the meanwhile,
0:44:44 > 0:44:47let me just check out what's going on with the bonus buy.
0:44:47 > 0:44:52I spent every last penny.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55I spent the whole, the full £179.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57- Great!- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59- Look at that.- Oh, wow.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03Is that a beer keg?
0:45:03 > 0:45:06- Well...- Is it for brandy or something?!
0:45:06 > 0:45:09I would say, first and foremost, it's beautifully cut.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11Look at this hobnail decoration
0:45:11 > 0:45:15on this barrel-shaped spirit decanter on this wonderful stand,
0:45:15 > 0:45:17very much in the period 1885, 1890.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Get down and look at it proper.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23If you come down... Crouchy, crouchy down.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Come on, Lance. Down you come.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Cos you've got to look at this thing from side on,
0:45:27 > 0:45:31- we've got very chunky legs like you'd get in a pub.- Correct.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34- A sweet little tap down this end. - Correct.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Cork bung hole in the top complete with cork, how about that?
0:45:38 > 0:45:41It's just an object of great quality.
0:45:41 > 0:45:43To late Victorians, when it came to novelty and quality,
0:45:43 > 0:45:47I think this oozes that. It also has a certain modern feel.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51There we go. There's a big question you need to ask.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Will it make a profit?
0:45:53 > 0:45:55Gosh. That's a good question.
0:45:55 > 0:46:01Well, I think this ordinarily ought to make between £200 and £300.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- Think about it.- Yeah.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Very exciting moment to hang on to.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07- OK.- But for the audience at home
0:46:07 > 0:46:12let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' little barrel.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15When we were researching this lot
0:46:15 > 0:46:19we found one that had sold in London a couple of years ago,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22retailed by Ospreys with a silver stand exactly the same as this,
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- made £5,000.- How much?!
0:46:24 > 0:46:27- £5,000.- £5,000?!
0:46:27 > 0:46:29But this is a plate one.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- However, that's a pretty good start, isn't it?- Well, it is.
0:46:32 > 0:46:37I think we've put a couple of hundred pounds on this, 150, 250,
0:46:37 > 0:46:39I think it will take off, this.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41It ought to. Thank you very much for researching that.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44That's most interesting. Isn't it?
0:46:44 > 0:46:46That's it now for the Reds.
0:46:46 > 0:46:50Now, for the Blues, first up for them in their wacky mix
0:46:50 > 0:46:52is this Arts and Crafts wall mirror
0:46:52 > 0:46:56which I quite like from the point of view of the style of the thing.
0:46:56 > 0:46:57I can see that in a modern home.
0:46:57 > 0:47:01Jonathan paid a handsome price for that. £11.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05- I think he'll get his money back. I think £20 or £30 easily.- Great.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08That's what we like to hear. Very good.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Rob found the Poole Pottery wall light.
0:47:11 > 0:47:17I'm slightly on record as not being the greatest fan of Poole Pottery.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20- How do you rate this piece? - It's a very striking thing.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23It's what we might cynically call an antique of the future
0:47:23 > 0:47:27but there will be collectors for it. I think £30 to £50.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31Very good. £35 is paid. So they'll be well pleased with that estimate.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Jeremy, thank you. And the pocket watch.
0:47:34 > 0:47:39Gold-plated, pretty standard keyless lever pocket watch.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43- Yes, in a presentation case. - What's the estimate on that?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45- 20 to 30.- Gosh. They paid 40.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48Things are getting tight. They might need their bonus buy.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Let's go and have a look at it.
0:47:52 > 0:47:56- Look at that.- It's a very nicely painted picture
0:47:56 > 0:47:59of a couple of spaniels, in the Victorian style.
0:47:59 > 0:48:02So the big question is, how much did you pay?
0:48:02 > 0:48:05I was doing a bit of a Charles Hanson. I felt rather rich
0:48:05 > 0:48:09and I should have gone for 214 quid but I went for £210.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13- 210. What would you say this would go for?- Er...
0:48:15 > 0:48:16I'm on the spot now!
0:48:16 > 0:48:18That's the question!
0:48:18 > 0:48:21Well, um... I bought it in a bit of a hurry
0:48:21 > 0:48:25and I think that in hindsight it may not be as old as I first thought.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27So "Victorian style" is STYLE.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Yeah, sadly so.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Hence why it's like this in the frame because the picture expert
0:48:32 > 0:48:35had to have the opportunity to look at the back properly,
0:48:35 > 0:48:38which I only got a snip of.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41- Not whilst buying it, anyway. - What would you value it at?
0:48:41 > 0:48:43Ballpark.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46- Do you...?- That's the worry!
0:48:46 > 0:48:48I'm not liking this!
0:48:48 > 0:48:50The hesitation there!
0:48:50 > 0:48:52On this happy note, boys...
0:48:52 > 0:48:55why don't you park those thoughts and we'll ask the auctioneer
0:48:55 > 0:48:59what he thinks about Jonathan's picture.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01The painting itself...
0:49:01 > 0:49:04is painted, but if you can see,
0:49:04 > 0:49:07it's painted on hardboard, modern hardboard.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11So if you look at the front of the picture out of the frame,
0:49:11 > 0:49:16some of the paint has been thinned in areas around here
0:49:16 > 0:49:21to make it look like natural wear, and if you bought this in a fair
0:49:21 > 0:49:25it would be very easy to think this was a Victorian oil.
0:49:25 > 0:49:30So we put a decorative estimate on it of £100 to £200.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32Jonathan paid £210.
0:49:32 > 0:49:38But he soon realised the error of his ways, having paid the money,
0:49:38 > 0:49:42but it's too late to go back. So he's explained to his team,
0:49:42 > 0:49:44we're going to run it through the sale anyway.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47But it's very interesting, you analysing it like this,
0:49:47 > 0:49:51just as a fair warning to anybody going out there to buy.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54Be interesting to see what happens in the auction. Thank you.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57And taking the auction today is Christina Trevanion.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00- How are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03- Excited.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05- Why are you nervous?- I don't know.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07I just really want the items to do well.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11- What about you, Lancey?- Anxious. We've been waiting for a while.
0:50:11 > 0:50:14- A bit like visiting the dentist? - Yeah!
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Not quite sure what's going to happen.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18Here we go. Here comes the brooch.
0:50:18 > 0:50:23264. How about that for £30 for the brooch?
0:50:23 > 0:50:26Little Arts and Crafts style brooch. 30 is bid. At £30.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Are we all done at 30?
0:50:28 > 0:50:33I will sell, make no mistake, at £30. If we're all done, at 30.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36- GAVEL BANGS - £30! Not bad, Charles.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38Plus £12. That's a good kick off.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Now...
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Silver-mounted ladies' flask. George Carlsberg and Son.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47London, 1931.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51How about that for £30 anywhere, for the flask at 30?
0:50:51 > 0:50:54At £30, the ladies' flask. At 30.
0:50:54 > 0:50:5720 is bid. On my right at £20.
0:50:57 > 0:51:02At 20. Any further interest at 20? I will sell, make no mistake.
0:51:02 > 0:51:04And two against you, sir?
0:51:04 > 0:51:0725, 28, 30.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11At £30, right, then, at £30. Are we all done at 30?
0:51:11 > 0:51:14- GAVEL BANGS - Oh, we want a bit more than that!
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Oh, no. £30. That's minus £15.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20You're now minus £3. Oh, dear.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22It's down to your pin tray, baby.
0:51:22 > 0:51:25Who will start me at £20 for the little pin tray?
0:51:25 > 0:51:2720 is bid. Thank you.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30At £20 with the lady at £20.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Are we all done at 20? And two.
0:51:32 > 0:51:3725, 28, 30, 32, 35, 38, 40,
0:51:37 > 0:51:395, 50, at £50,
0:51:39 > 0:51:43at the back, then, at £50. Are we all done at 50?
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Selling, then, at £50. - More, more, more!
0:51:46 > 0:51:47GAVEL BANGS
0:51:47 > 0:51:50You're so right, Roxanne! She sold it for £50,
0:51:50 > 0:51:52which is minus eight.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55Which overall means you're minus £11.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58That's ridiculous. Minus £11.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- That is disappointing.- Lot 271. - I think you've done jolly well.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05What are you going to do? Are you going to go with the spirit barrel?
0:52:05 > 0:52:06Are you going to risk £179?
0:52:06 > 0:52:09- Go for it. - OK, I'll leave it up to the lads.
0:52:09 > 0:52:11- It's not my fault.- Fine.
0:52:11 > 0:52:15A family decision. We're going with the barrel. Here it comes.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19Lot 270 is the hobnail cut glass spirit barrel
0:52:19 > 0:52:21with plated mount, circa 1890.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Interesting thing, this, lot 270.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27And who will start me at £100 for it? For the spirit barrel.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30At £100 anywhere? At 100?
0:52:30 > 0:52:33At £100? At 80 anywhere?
0:52:33 > 0:52:36£80. Surely £80 somewhere.
0:52:36 > 0:52:4260 I'm bid, on my right at £60 and I will take at £60. All done at 60?
0:52:42 > 0:52:46I will sell, make no mistake. If you're all done at £60.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48- GAVEL BANGS - She's going to sell it!
0:52:48 > 0:52:54£60, well, I tell you, I'm speechless.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58- I'm amazed.- That's minus £119.
0:52:58 > 0:53:01I don't believe it.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05- Not too bad.- It could still be a winning score! You never know, eh?
0:53:05 > 0:53:09So that's £130, overall losses.
0:53:09 > 0:53:12Isn't that amazing? The joy of the auction, eh?
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Yes, the joys of the auction.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16It just goes to show you never can tell.
0:53:16 > 0:53:20Do not tell the Blues a thing cos, personally, I'm still in shock.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31- Now, Rob and Phil, how did the Reds get on? Do you know?- Don't know.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33I haven't got a clue. Wouldn't tell us.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35No divine intervention here?
0:53:35 > 0:53:39- None at all.- No messages beaming down from on high?
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- We often do but not yet.- Just wait and see what happens.- Perfect.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46First up is going to be Jonathan's mirror.
0:53:46 > 0:53:47Here it comes.
0:53:47 > 0:53:53Lot 286 and I have interest here with me on commission at £25.
0:53:53 > 0:53:58On commission at £25. With me at 25. Are we all done at 25?
0:53:58 > 0:54:02I will sell, make no mistake. If we're all done at 25.
0:54:02 > 0:54:06£25. Plus £14.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09£14 profit. Look at that.
0:54:09 > 0:54:14The Poole Pottery wall uplighter, decorated by Nicola Massarella.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15Lot 287.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17And who'll start me at £20 for it?
0:54:17 > 0:54:19At 20. 20 is bid. Thank you.
0:54:19 > 0:54:23And two, 25. 28, 30, 32,
0:54:23 > 0:54:29- 35, 38, 40, 5, 50... - Well done, Bob!- ..5, 60.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33- Look at this!- At £60. With you, madam, at £60.
0:54:33 > 0:54:34- If we're all done at 60.- £60!
0:54:34 > 0:54:39- Fantastic. Well done, the lighting department.- £60!
0:54:39 > 0:54:41That's brilliant. Plus £25 on that.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43That's not bad, is it? Now, the watch.
0:54:43 > 0:54:47Lot 288 in its fitted case there, as well. Lot 288.
0:54:47 > 0:54:52Who will start me at £20 for it? £20. 20 is bid. Thank you, madam.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55£20 at the very back, then, at £20.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57And two. 25.
0:54:57 > 0:55:04- 28, 30, 32, 35, 38.- Keep going!
0:55:04 > 0:55:07- Yes!- Thank you anyway. At £38 with you, sir, at £38.- One more!
0:55:07 > 0:55:09If we're all done at 38.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13- GAVEL BANGS - £38. £2 loss. 38 minus 2.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15That means you're plus £37.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18It's like you almost had a crystal ball there. That's fantastic.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20£37 up.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23What are we going to do about this picture, then?
0:55:23 > 0:55:26As they say in the trade, if there's any element of doubt,
0:55:26 > 0:55:28- you have to leave it. - There's an element of doubt here.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32And we're leaving it. Is that right? Here it comes.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Lot 292 is this picture here,
0:55:34 > 0:55:36The Manor of Colin Graham.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Two setters in a landscape, oil on board.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41It's modern. Lot 292.
0:55:41 > 0:55:45Who will start me at £80 for it, for this decorative picture here?
0:55:45 > 0:55:48At £80. Setters in a landscape at 80.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51At £80 anywhere? 60, then.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55£60 for the setters, at £60. 50?
0:55:55 > 0:56:00£50, surely, for this picture, here. It's an oil on board at £50.
0:56:00 > 0:56:0440, then. £40. 40 is bid.
0:56:04 > 0:56:06- Thank you, sir. At £40.- Phew!
0:56:06 > 0:56:11All we all done at 40? I will sell, make no mistake, at £40.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13- And five. Against you, sir. - Another bidder, here?
0:56:13 > 0:56:16At £45 on the internet, and 50.
0:56:16 > 0:56:17On the internet!
0:56:17 > 0:56:20At £50 at the very back, at £50.
0:56:20 > 0:56:26At 55 against you. At £55 on the internet, then. At 55.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28GAVEL BANGS
0:56:28 > 0:56:31£55! Gosh.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33- Good decision.- I make that...
0:56:33 > 0:56:39That's £155 down the proverbial, isn't it? Minus 155.
0:56:39 > 0:56:43That's got to be my best yet, I think, on one lot!
0:56:43 > 0:56:47£155. I think you're quite grateful you didn't go with it.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50I think you made the right decision, there.
0:56:50 > 0:56:51Definitely divine intervention.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53Definitely was divine.
0:56:53 > 0:56:56Anyway, you've parked your £37 profit.
0:56:56 > 0:56:59You've ring-fenced it, very sensibly.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02And, for the moment,
0:57:02 > 0:57:04don't say a word to the Reds.
0:57:11 > 0:57:15- Talking, you chaps? Have you been talking at all?- No.
0:57:15 > 0:57:21Very good. It is my duty to reveal today that the runners up...
0:57:21 > 0:57:22are the Reds.
0:57:22 > 0:57:24- Oh, no!- Whoa! Yeah!
0:57:24 > 0:57:27We're not going to dwell on the spirit barrel.
0:57:27 > 0:57:31It was minus £11, all right? And then the spirit barrel came along
0:57:31 > 0:57:34and it finished up as being minus £130.
0:57:34 > 0:57:35Which is incredible!
0:57:35 > 0:57:40I have to say, in Charles' defence, I rated that thing.
0:57:40 > 0:57:43- I thought it was a pretty good, high-octane object...- Quite right.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47- ..that just failed to ignite today. So bad luck.- It's still his fault!
0:57:47 > 0:57:48It's still his fault.
0:57:48 > 0:57:50Charles's fault!
0:57:50 > 0:57:52I think we'll leave the bickering to the children, shall we?
0:57:52 > 0:57:55And turn to the victors. It is very respectable, isn't it?
0:57:55 > 0:57:58- You are plus £37.- Fantastic!
0:57:58 > 0:58:01Got 35 there. Got a couple of quid coming out there, look.
0:58:01 > 0:58:02There you go, son.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05I thought you were going to give that to Jonathan for a moment.
0:58:05 > 0:58:06Completely unprompted!
0:58:06 > 0:58:09- But you had a good time, I hope. - We've had a great time.- Fantastic.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12It's lovely to go home with profits and I congratulate you on that.
0:58:12 > 0:58:14Thank you very much for joining us.
0:58:14 > 0:58:18- We had a great day. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
