0:00:02 > 0:00:06We're at Ardingly, south of England Showground, famed for its agricultural fairs
0:00:06 > 0:00:10where normally there are lots of beasties around here,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14but today the whole place is stuffed up with antiques.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Hello, what's this?
0:00:16 > 0:00:18A man in a white coat for me.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Best in show. Who, me?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22That's all right.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28Get your hands off me. What do you think I am? Some sort of bullock?
0:00:54 > 0:00:58This is one of the largest antique fairs in the country
0:00:58 > 0:01:02with literally hundreds of stalls to choose from,
0:01:02 > 0:01:03but how will our teams cope?
0:01:05 > 0:01:10For the Reds, Mandy and Chrissie are an expert's dream team.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13I'm going to have the best day today and I'm going to win.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Don't count your chickens yet, Catherine.- I'm struggling here. - We'll be fine.
0:01:18 > 0:01:26For the Blues, former policewomen Sue and Julia have an arresting expert in a shiny helmet.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- Did you ever wear anything like that? - Fantastic!
0:01:31 > 0:01:36And at the auction, our two teams are neck-and-neck.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39But who will pull ahead to win?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Before all that, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Welcome to Bargain Hunt.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Now, where did you two meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- We met at work.- Where do you work?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- At the Born Free Foundation.- Gosh.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Now, Born Free is the movie, to everybody, isn't it?
0:01:58 > 0:02:03So Born Free is about lions, is it?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- It's about all wildlife.- Oh, all wildlife?- Yes, all wildlife.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13And we look at captivity issues of animals in zoos and circuses and we also look at animals
0:02:13 > 0:02:17in the wild and protecting them and the habitats they live in.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18- Well, how wonderful.- Yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24- Mandy, you're keen on collecting things?- I am.- It's in the blood? - Yes.- Why's that?
0:02:24 > 0:02:31My father was an estate agent and auctioneer and sometimes people couldn't afford to pay the fees
0:02:31 > 0:02:38and he used to be given all sorts of antiques and all sorts of items including, a pony, once, for me.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40A pony! How nice!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Yes. But my mum wasn't so pleased with the pony.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46No. And had you got somewhere to keep it?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48We found somewhere pretty quickly, yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I think the deal was done in a pub, so...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55One of those deals. Now, Chrissie, what do you collect, darling?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Sheep.- Do you?- I do.- Real ones?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02No, mine are either soft toys or ornaments.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And how many sheep have you got?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- 50.- Quite a flock, then. - Quite a flock, yes.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12And what sort of things will you be looking out for, apart from sheep-related items today?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15To buy to make a profit on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Something small and perfectly formed, I think.- Ah! Something like me?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Absolutely, Tim, yes. If only you were for sale.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26If only I were small. Anyway, very, very good luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Now for the Blues.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29How did you two girls meet?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32We met 41 years ago.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33No need to own up to that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40When we both applied for a job as police constables with Sussex police.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- You were both policewomen?- We were. - 'Ello, ello!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We went to interviews together,
0:03:45 > 0:03:51then we went training together and the friendship continued from there.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And did you get into any scrapes when you were on the beat?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Yes, we did. Yes.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03One day, we were out in the policewomen's car, and went to a local park
0:04:03 > 0:04:09and I think time overtook us, and when we went to drive
0:04:09 > 0:04:15- out of the park they had locked the gates and we were locked in. - In our panda car.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Which was very embarrassing.- Did you radio in, "BD to Zed Victor one,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23"lost in the park".
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes, we did.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And what did your sergeant have to say about that?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Quite a lot, the next day, I recall.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Julia, you're a great collector, what of exactly?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I collect thimbles and I collect royalty memorabilia.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Tell us about that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:48That started when I was four and it was the Queen's coronation and my mum and dad bought me
0:04:48 > 0:04:52a cup and saucer and a glass and all the rest of it and it developed from there, really.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- It is a rather nice thing to do, though, isn't it?- It is. - Reign by reign.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58How do you think you'll get on today?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02I think we'll do very well, because we're very competitive and we'll make a profit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05My gosh, that's fighting talk, isn't it? Anyway, the money moment.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Here we go, look, £300 apiece, just like that.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15You know the rules, your experts await and off you go, and very, very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Well, I never did, two female rozzers.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22But who exactly are our expert suspects today?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28For the Reds it's Anita "Mad Dog" Manning.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34And for the Blues, Catherine "Slippy Fingers" Southon.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36What's our game plan?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Um, something small and perfectly formed.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Just like us.- Just like us.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46I quite like silver. Silver, tortoiseshell, jewellery.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Jewels for Jules!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Exactly!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54We've got one hour.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55We need to get going.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Come on then.
0:06:06 > 0:06:12If we look and pull this out, it's a wee arts and crafts chair.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Very, very simple,
0:06:14 > 0:06:19straightforward, and that's what the fashion is now.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25People are going away from the ornate Victorian styles and are looking for something simpler.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29And this is exactly the type of thing that they like - arts and crafts.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35And if you look here, we have this lovely tooled leather seat,
0:06:35 > 0:06:40with this galleon, which is Ruskin-like.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42How old do you think it is?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46It's probably 1900-1920s.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Is it a child's chair?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Yeah, I would say it's a little child's chair.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Something to sit beside the fireplace. Do you like it?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Yes.- Yes. I think so.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yes. I think that could be good.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It could sit in somebody's room and look quite decorative.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09In a cottage situation, a small house. Shall we ask them?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Yes. How much? - Excuse me? Your wee chair.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14£30, best on that.
0:07:14 > 0:07:2030? It's got some mud on it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's extra.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Is that extra?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- What about...- 28?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Would you do 25?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Three women are asking you!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Nice women!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Could you do 25?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40So, the Blues are off in record time.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Seven minutes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Right, Mandy, wait for me.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- While you were buying, Anita, so was Catherine.- Biscuits.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Biscuit moulds. - They're very nice.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Biscuit moulds - they're very nice.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58If you think about where we're selling,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02quite nice in a country kitchen, country cottage.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06But in my experience they don't always sell particularly well.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Depends how much it is, doesn't it?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Can I just ask you a price on this?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- £30.- £30.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16If you think at auction you'll have a lot of dealers there,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20really, this sort of thing's going to appeal to the private.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23A dealer wouldn't buy it to have in their shop?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27They might do. It's just in my experience, I have bought these before
0:08:27 > 0:08:29and they haven't made huge profits.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32With that in mind, £30 is not a lot.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37On the other side, in a country kitchen, I think it's lovely.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Do you want to? I did see it and I thought...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That's the first thing I noticed.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I thought it was lovely.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Well, I like it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Shall we go for it?- Yes. - Do you want to see if you can try and get it a bit cheaper?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51OK.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53What's your very best on that?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- 25.- 25?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- 25?- It's up to you, ladies, it's your money.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- I think so.- We both went for it. - It's the sort of thing I would put in my kitchen.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06- You would buy it. - OK. That's lovely. That's a deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I like you two - you're very decisive!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Girls!- We're coming.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17These ladies are good. We bought the first item in seven minutes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20That's completely unheard of. They're so decisive.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm going to have the best day today and I'm going to win.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25There's a wee bit of competitiveness there.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30But whoever wins, we'll keep smiling and we are always happy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31That's Jungendstil?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Jungendstil?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Which is the, Jungendstil! Isn't my German good?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Oh, you're Dutch?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43We've got the silver over there.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Is it silver? - It's got a mark on it there.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54OK, yes. We can see the little lion.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55You picked it up - why did you like it?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I quite like the patterns on it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:05The piercing on it makes it look attractive. And the twirly handle.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- And I think probably it could be a collector's piece, if we've got the right people in.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- It could be a collector's piece. - It's a girly thing.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It is. Is it for sugar?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19It's for sugar. And it's not very dear.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26The price on that is £12, but you do have a hallmarked silver piece.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Shall we get it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I think so, don't you?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Who's going to do the business? - Shall I go up?- You can do this one.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Big smile.- He's down the end.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Catherine, what about that?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- That's replaced.- Is it? Oh, yes.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44It's actually not...
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Haven't got my glasses on. That's a shame.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Actually, it's not as old as one would think.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Ten is his best price.- Go for it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Go for it.- OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Yes, you go for it, you industrious Blues.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Talking of industry, check out what I've found.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Have you ever worked in a factory?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Well, if you have, you'd be very comfortable in this stand
0:11:12 > 0:11:16because everything in this selling space relates to industry.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19In fact they're called industrial antiques.
0:11:19 > 0:11:26And these things look brilliant in lofts, conversions from old buildings
0:11:26 > 0:11:31that create large, open spaces that young people just love living in.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And what might they furnish that space with?
0:11:33 > 0:11:38If you take these four chairs, the hint is in the base here because they're cast iron
0:11:38 > 0:11:45cast with the word "Singer" so these would have come from a textile works and a whole array of women would
0:11:45 > 0:11:53have probably sat at sewing machines going about their seamstress skills but sitting on these chairs.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And these, I guess, date from the 1930s.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59But one of the most intriguing things I think is this.
0:11:59 > 0:12:06It looks a bit like a bar stool, but if I spin it round like that, you see how long it keeps spinning?
0:12:06 > 0:12:12Because this thing has come out of the decorating workshop of a Stoke-on-Trent factory.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17And what you would have done is to put your undecorated vase here
0:12:17 > 0:12:22and spun the base, and if you took a paint brush, and dipped it in some
0:12:22 > 0:12:29gold paint and applied it to the edge of the vase, as it spun around on this base,
0:12:29 > 0:12:36so you would get a clear and continuous gold line running around the piece of ceramics.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Pretty useless if you haven't got a ceramics factory except you could
0:12:39 > 0:12:44use it in this modern interior, perhaps for putting a vase on.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Or, who knows? At a cocktail bar, just planting your bottom on it.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51And if nostalgia is your thing, how about that lot?
0:12:51 > 0:12:57School coat pegs. How evocative of a happy childhood are they?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00What's all this stuff worth?
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The set of pegs would cost you £140.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08These chairs would cost you £240. Each.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10And this little spinning fellow?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14That would set you back £230.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17So, you see, there's money in industrial antiques.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22And there's also money to be made at the fair, girls.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- OK, girls, so you want to spend big money.- We do.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29We don't have £380.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- We certainly don't. - Of course you can have a look.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Ask the lady and see what price she's got on them, shall we? - Do you want to ask?
0:13:43 > 0:13:48Yes. We're interested in the little button hook and the shoe horn.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56They're on both sides and they're a pair, look.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Can I just have a look? Let's look at it. Beautifully made.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Beautiful quality.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Well known maker, silver, so we are appealing to silver buyers
0:14:05 > 0:14:09also we've got that novelty aspect of the owls and the boot hook, the shoe horn...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- And the name of the maker.- Yes.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15The absolute minimum would be 140.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- That really is the best.- I mean...
0:14:18 > 0:14:20That cost me over 100 myself.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23If you think that owls are very...
0:14:23 > 0:14:30That's very fair. The owls are collectible, so collectible. Are you happy with that?
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Yes, definitely, very happy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I think they're great.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Now, will those owls be a wise buy, I wonder?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42Hey, girls, you two used to be bobbies, didn't you?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- We did.- Did you ever wear anything like that?- Fantastic!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Chanel No 5!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00There is some quality there. There is some quality.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's so different.
0:15:02 > 0:15:08- Yeah.- Double-ended.- You've got the double-ended one, you've got the condition, which is good.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14You've got this little turquoise detail here. The catch
0:15:14 > 0:15:17is in working order.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22I think that is a very bonny little item.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27And I don't think it's too dear at 120.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I just wonder, as we've only just walked round, whether we could just look at a few more stalls?
0:15:32 > 0:15:40I think so. Why don't you ask him to keep it for you for 15 minutes?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Yes.- I think you would be more satisfied if you kept on looking.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47You've got plenty of time, ladies. And we won't be stuck.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- I'll ask him.- Go and have a look.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yeah, can you hold onto it for us?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I'll put it back in there. I won't hold onto it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:5415 minutes?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59That'll be gone when you come back. You know what happens when people
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- leave things behind. They're sold, aren't they?- Oh, girls! Oh, girls! It's up to yourself.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06He who hesitates is lost.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14- We'll keep looking.- Yeah. I think just a quick look, just to be sure.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16All right.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19You might need to listen to the dealer, girls.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Only 20 minutes left.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Where's Catherine?- Figurative stuff.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Where have they gone?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I like that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I don't think actually they need me. They're doing their own thing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- I'm struggling here. - Oh no, we'll be fine.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Anything take your fancy, girls?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41No, not there.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Where did you go? You left me!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45You abandoned me! You abandoned ship.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- DOG BARKS - Hello!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Oi, Mutley - shut up!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56You're footerin' girls, you're footerin'.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Yes, I know. I know.- We are, we are.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- We're going to be panicking in a minute.- Don't panic.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's nice, isn't it? With the Cunard white...
0:17:03 > 0:17:05It's lovely actually.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Dare we ask how much it is? - How much?- £20.
0:17:08 > 0:17:15- The lid does come off.- Oh. - It's a fabric hinge.- British-made.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Yeah. It's lasted a hundred years, so I think we're doing all right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I think it's fantastic. I love it. - Not cheap.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- What about the lid coming off though?- How about we give you 15 for it?- I'm afraid not.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's a good price that. Should have been 40.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30It's the lid that worries me.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Yeah. I think it's great. - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36It's my shabby chic again, Mandy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It is. You are shabby!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And also very chic!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- £20...- £20, done. You're not going to budge on that price, are you?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50- I'm sorry.- I mean, to be honest, I think that's a fair price, £20.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55I can see that going into the auction at about 30-40, something like that.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59You know to begin with you were really, really decisive when you bought your first item?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Can we end on being very decisive?
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- We certainly can.- Are we going to go for this?- It's a deal. Definitely.- It's a deal! £20!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Well done. Cup of tea now?
0:18:08 > 0:18:12We've only got 14 minutes left, so we won't footer, we'll go straight back.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14But let's hope it isn't gone.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Then we'll be in big trouble!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Now, I warned you girls.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- HORN TOOTS - Oh, careful!
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It's not there. Oh yes it is!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It is there, girls?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33It is! No, it's not!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- It's a hundred now!- He's put it up!
0:18:37 > 0:18:41There is a little dent in it actually.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Just there.- Oh dear, we didn't see that earlier on.
0:18:44 > 0:18:50- As we've just noticed it, do you think he'd re-deal it? - You can have a go.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55We just noticed there's a little dent on the top there.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58So, can we do a deal with you for 80?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Please? Pretty please?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I hope she ain't like that in her sale room! Go on then.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Yes, 80.- Yes!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10You're a star. Thank you very much.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'll wrap it in the Daily Sport for you, all right?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Hurrah, rah! The shopping's over.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Now the experts can hunt for that extra item with any leftover lolly.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25But remember, the bonus buy can mean a big profit or a big loss at auction.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Now, what did those reds buy again?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Mandy and Chrissie bought the biscuit mould for £25.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But will it take the biscuit?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44They picked up this silver shoe horn and a boot hook for 140.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Ta-wit, ta-wooh!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50And finally, they chose the travelling trunk at £20.
0:19:50 > 0:19:56Now Mandy and Chrissie, you've been incredibly decisive, and we're very, very proud of you for that purpose.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I mean, decisive is marvellous, isn't it?
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Oh, it's wonderful. - It's the only way, isn't it?
0:20:01 > 0:20:06Three girls together making their mind up quickly, is unbelievable! No, I don't mean it like that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09But it is incredibly difficult sometimes, isn't it?
0:20:09 > 0:20:10- Yes.- But you've done very well.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- You've spent £185, I'm told. Is that right?- We did, yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So £115 of leftover lolly, please.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- There we are. - We've got that cash. That's super.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- That's going to go to Catherine now to find you a bonus buy.- Thank you. - I think you know our taste now.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I think you've given me a fair idea!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30All she has to buy is something that's going to make a profit.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It doesn't matter whether you like it or not, remember that. It can
0:20:33 > 0:20:37be ghastly from your point of view, as long as it's going to make cash.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- That's her challenge. And she's very good at doing this.- Excellent!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- Anyway... - Good luck.- Good luck, Catherine.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Go and have a cup of coffee, girls.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Why don't we find out what the blues have bought?
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Sue and Julia went with Anita's stool for £25.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Then they picked up this silver sifter spoon for 10.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Their last buy was this double-ended scent bottle for 80.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- So, Sooze and Jools, did you have a good shop up?- Fantastic.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07You certainly whipped around.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Now you can take the mickey, can't you, Anita?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- No, I'm a serious wee thing. - Och aye! I mean, centurion's helmet?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I don't know.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18It's no way to carry on, is it?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Quite becoming.- For serious members of the constabulary.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24OK girls, how much did you spend again?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- £115.- £115.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33- So what do I want? I want £185 back then, do I?- You do.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38£185. It was hardly worthwhile giving you 300. You spent so little.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42£185. There we go, Anita. That's a lot, isn't it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:45A lot of money. I'm going to enjoy spending it.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50But I will always, when buying items, box clever.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Good.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes. That is very enigmatic, isn't it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57That means we don't know whether you're going to spend the lot, only part of it...
0:21:57 > 0:22:01But you are going to find something that will make a profit, aren't you?
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Of course.- Of course. Well, God bless you, girls. Have a lovely time.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11For us though, we're going to whizz up the A23, round the M25, up the M4 and have a look at Chiswick.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16That's if we don't just go up the A23 and go straight to Chiswick that way round.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Got it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Chiswick House and Garden
0:22:24 > 0:22:28are an oasis of calm in West London.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35The house is also one of the finest examples
0:22:35 > 0:22:38of neo-Palladian design in the country.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It was built by the third Earl Burlington, who
0:22:44 > 0:22:50was inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome in 16th Century Italy.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00But everywhere that you look in this exquisite villa, you find the standard of
0:23:00 > 0:23:06finish is incomparable, and the proportion is just delicious.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Burlington hired the designer, William Kent, to collaborate on the villa.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14No expense was spared.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Feast your eyes on this.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28So what makes this room look so incredibly rich?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Well, it's the use of honey gilding.
0:23:31 > 0:23:38You literally take a frightfully thin piece of gold leaf, and blow it,
0:23:38 > 0:23:41because it's only a millionth of an inch thick,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45onto a prepared surface which has honey painted on it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50The honey sticks the thinned gold to the carved area,
0:23:50 > 0:23:54and you achieve this miraculous finish.
0:23:54 > 0:24:02But for William Kent, by far the most important area in a typical Palladian room, is the ceiling.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Just look at that!
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Isn't it glorious?
0:24:06 > 0:24:11The first thing that strikes you are these massive brackets,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14which are actually completely unnecessary.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16They're entirely artificial.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18They support the ceiling a bit,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22but the ceiling doesn't actually need this massive bracket.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's there for effect.
0:24:24 > 0:24:31We have this large central square area, which is indented or coffered,
0:24:31 > 0:24:38which is contained all the way around it by another six coffers.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39William Kent painted the ceiling
0:24:39 > 0:24:43with a figure emblematic of architecture.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48And around and about there are a curious series of little gold dots,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51which are supposed to represent mosaic.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Now, here is a real piece of mosaic.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Do you see that?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01This was designed to be applied to a ceiling.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And within it we've got all these tiny pieces
0:25:04 > 0:25:06of coloured glass, which have
0:25:06 > 0:25:09been inset into a smooth surface,
0:25:09 > 0:25:15so that when they were displayed up above in the ceiling, you get that
0:25:15 > 0:25:18glorious reflected light and extreme richness,
0:25:18 > 0:25:23which is exactly what you would have found in a Roman villa.
0:25:23 > 0:25:30And that's why William Kent has painted it in imitation of mosaic.
0:25:30 > 0:25:37Of course the big question is today, are our teams going to be feeling blue over at the auction?
0:25:43 > 0:25:4440 now... 45.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55Well, it's extremely nice to be at Bellmans Auctioneers at
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Wisborough Green, West Sussex, just down the road from Ardingly
0:25:58 > 0:26:00with our man of the moment, Jonathan Pratt.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Thank you, Tim.- Very nice to see you again.- What an intro.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It was a thrill actually. I mean, for us to be here.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11Mandy and Chrissie went with this gingerbread mould,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14or pastry mould, or butter mould.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Mould what you like it in really.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Mould what you like in it - that's what I think! A multi-faceted mould.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Do you like it though - "kitchenalia"?
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Yeah, I do actually. And that sort of thing does quite well here.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30There's quite a lot of people who buy into this sort of very country cottage sort of look.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31- So yeah, I do like it. - Good. How much?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- £20-£30.- £25 paid by Chrissie.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37She loved it, so I think she's about spot on.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Next is this little owl-ended group.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47I really like them. I'm quite a fan of novelty silver. They're not Sampson Mordan.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51They're by a firm called Crispin & Norris, I think it is.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- But they are listed.- A known maker.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Exquisitely done. Complete with the eyeballs and everything.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- It's got what it takes, hasn't it? - Absolutely.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05So, draw yourself up to your full height and give us an estimate.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well I've put £60-£80 on it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13That will be severely depressing to them because they paid 140.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16To get over a hundred, I think that would be pretty ambitious.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- But there you go, stranger things happen.- Stranger things happen.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Now talking about strange things, we've got this trunk here.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Apparently this went across the Atlantic several times.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29- Well, so you're led to believe really.- Yeah. Do you believe everything you read?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32No. I mean, I really don't like these two labels.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- What, these two?- Yes.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The other one, down at the bottom is very dirty and very black.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- Very dirty and very black. - And these are very clean.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- And very brown. - And sort of tea-stained.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49And the writing on it, crikey, it looks like it was done just before Ardingly Fair!
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Do you think a bit of Earl Grey has been dabbed on these then?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'm suspicious. I really am suspicious.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59I have catalogued as such that I don't want to draw too much attention to those.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- How much?- £10-£15.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- £20 they paid. - We might even get that.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08You might even get that, might you? So, it's all a bit of a dodgy pattern really.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It all depends on whether the wise old owls perform.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12And if they don't,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15they're going to need, ta-wit, ta-wooh, their bonus buy.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Now, Mandy and Chrissie, you spent a magnificent £185.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27You gave £115 to Catherine Southon. What did she spend the cash on?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Well, you know you wanted glass?- Yes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Well I bought you...this.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- Silver!- Silver!- Isn't that pretty? - Do you know what it is?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Is this something to do with drinks? - A tea infuser?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Absolutely, spot on - a tea infuser.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45That's pretty. I really like that.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- It's really beautiful. I know you two ladies really like silver.- Yes.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51And I think this is really beautiful with this lovely egg form.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55It's been pierced here with this lovely pattern.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57What's the date on it?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It is actually hallmarked 1895.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Goodness!- So late Victorian.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06But nice that it has got this lovely bar rather than the chain.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08And how much did you pay for it?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I paid £85.
0:29:10 > 0:29:16- But these things are becoming more and more difficult to find at auction.- Lovely choice. Thank you.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Sorry it's not glass.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- But I just could not find that piece of glass for you. - No, I like that.- We like that.
0:29:21 > 0:29:27- So Catherine, a success there, I think.- I hope so.- Let's hope it does well in the auction.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32And for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little brewer.
0:29:32 > 0:29:38- So Jonathan, one thing I can reassure you is that this is not medical!- Yes!
0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's a painful shape, isn't it?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42It is a strange shape for an infuser though.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47I've never seen one with a solid bar handle. Usually they've got a chain, haven't they? Drizzle that in.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I did a bit of research. I found one or two examples.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Not a particularly common thing.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Hallmarked for Victoria 1895, Birmingham mark. You know, great.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Yeah. And it's quite weighty. - It's the right side of 1900 for it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- How much?- 70 to 100. - Great. Catherine paid 85.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Good.- Somebody might take a bit of a spin at it
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and who knows what sort of a profit it might brew up.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12So, that's it for the Reds, and now for the Blues. Sue and Julia.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16First item Anita found, which is this little stool.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Looks like shed work to me.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21It has an essence of the arts and crafts about it, doesn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23You know, workaday furniture.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- Yeah.- Very simply constructed. - By a bloke in a shed in 1900.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Yeah.- Pretending he was Voysey.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31You see these things often
0:30:31 > 0:30:35with a little heart-shaped pattern in the back, like the Voysey would have.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- What's the little joker worth, then?- £15 to £20.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Anita paid £25.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Good. Now, the sifter spoon.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Has to be one of the dullest things.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Yes. It's a bit weak isn't it? Kind of small...- Yes.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Apostle finial.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54If it were a big sort of... Even just a fiddle pattern proper thing, pierced nicely...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Yes.- Much stronger. - And who sifts sugar any more?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- I don't. I shake it out the packet. It's easier.- How much then?
0:31:00 > 0:31:05- That little fellow there £10 to £15, I'm afraid.- OK, £10 paid. They paid the right price for it.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Absolutely.- And they will make a small profit.- Sure.- No doubt.
0:31:08 > 0:31:13The last of their three items is this spectacular two-division scent bottle.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Yeah.- Which is, I think, just fab.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17They always sell rather well.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Well, I rather like this turquoise set circlet in the top.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Is that something that you admire?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26I'm a bit suspicious of that and I thought that looked like it had been applied later.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31I didn't really... I thought that it just looked a bit out of place, I'm afraid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Yes, because it is queer it's not on the other end. I hadn't noticed.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Yeah, you've got a gold inset patch there.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37It makes me wonder whether it's been dropped.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41And if you look at it, the way that... The proportions look a little bit strange.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I didn't quite like it for that reason.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47That's a most interesting observation and I think it's probably absolutely correct.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- So full marks for that.- Thank you. - What's your estimate?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51I still put £80 to £120 on it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- £80 to £120. They paid 80. So it's about right, really.- Yeah.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00Overall, then, they probably won't need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Now, Sue and Jules, you spent a miserable £115.- We did.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Can't believe that, really.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09You gave Anita £185, who's grinning like a Cheshire cat.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Because I think she's got a big secret underneath here.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15And I'm just going to whip this off, Anita, to help you.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Oh.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Ooh.- That looks nice.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- It's what we call, in Scotland, a lovely wee kist.- Kist?
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- A wee kist?- That's a new one.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30It's a little pine box and if we lift the lid
0:32:30 > 0:32:34we see this nice little compartment here.
0:32:34 > 0:32:41We have a brass plaque on the front and it tells us that it belongs to
0:32:41 > 0:32:46- D Girling in the village, and that's quite sweet. - Ooh, it is a nice box.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- How much did you pay for it? - I paid... Oh, how much?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Straight in there!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- I paid £30.- Oh, right, OK.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Sue likes it.- I like it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- You like it, Jules? Yeah, lovely. - We like it, Anita.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- You like it? Good, good. - Anyway, hold that thought.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06You get your opportunity to choose it or not after the sale of your
0:33:06 > 0:33:12first three items, but right now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little box.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Right then, Jonathan.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16The sweetest little pine workbox
0:33:16 > 0:33:18you're likely to ever see in all your born days.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Isn't that just perfect?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22It's rather cute, I think.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Cute?- Yeah.- It's got it all.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Well, even... Look at this, the dovetailing on the edge.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- It's like this is his lifetime's work, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33He's been in his shed, he's done the necessary.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Another piece of shed work. No, I like that very much.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40The plaque refers to a local village here, which I thought was quite sweet.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- Yes.- Putting that in the catalogue description, that'll get picked up.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Yup. - £30 to £40, I've estimated it at.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47£30 to £40? Well, that's brilliant.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- Anita will cover you in kisses because she only paid £30.- I was looking forward to that!
0:33:51 > 0:33:56I thought you were. We're looking forward to you taking the sale. Are you taking the auction?
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- Of course.- We're in safe hands.
0:33:58 > 0:33:5965, now.
0:34:03 > 0:34:0585, 87.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Anybody feeling nervous?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Me.- Why?- I don't know.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- We'll be fine.- We'll be fine.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13We'll be absolutely fine.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- You all right, Mandy? - I'm fine.- Are you?
0:34:15 > 0:34:20- Yes.- Are you nervous because you think something's not going to go particularly well?- Oh, no.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- They're all going to be wonderful. They're going to make massive profits.- Massive profits?- Yes.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26So you're not that nervous, then, are you? Quite confident.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31First up, though, is the biscuit mould, and here it comes.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36A butter or biscuit mould, carved with fish and a shell.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39And I can start at 25.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4235.
0:34:42 > 0:34:4445.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00At £70, any more? At £70.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02He's waving.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03I can see him. At 75. £80.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Yes. Excellent.- £80, then.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Against you at 80, and selling, if you're all done...
0:35:07 > 0:35:09One more might do it this time.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12It's £80. Selling at 80.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16- £80. That is plus £55.- I'm so pleased. That is lovely.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19- Brilliant!- We all liked that, didn't we?- That was fab!
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Dear, oh dear, oh dear. - Well done, ladies.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- I've gone all tearful. - Now, the shoehorn.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29A silver shoehorn and boot hook, with owl figural handles,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and I can start at £40, £50.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33No, come on!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36£50, looking for five now. Who'll bid me five? £50.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Straight in at 50. 55, 60.

0:35:49 > 0:35:5195. 100. 110.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53They are good.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55110. Do I see 20?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57£110, then. It's selling.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Going at £110, all done. £110.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03£110.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Better than we thought, wasn't it?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Minus 30, which means you are plus £25.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Now, the cabin trunk.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1420th century travel trunk
0:36:14 > 0:36:18with canvas-covered panels and you've got some labels on there.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Three bids I have.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Bad?
0:36:21 > 0:36:2515, 20...35.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- At £35.- That's fine.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3240, anyone? £35, 40 standing. 45.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Do they know the lid comes off? It's broken.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38£50 to the gentleman, then. Standing at £50. Five anywhere else?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41It's going to go at £50. It's going to take it away at £50. All done.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Plus £30 on that. - Brilliant.- Well done.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Which means overall you're up £55.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Wowee!- Plus £55. Now, what are you going to do about the tea infuser?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- We'll go for it.- Do you think? Are you sure?- Yep.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57Because you've made a profit.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- We've made a profit. - Oh, I'm not saying anything.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Do you want to put it in the bank?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- What shall we do? - £85, it has to make.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Yes. That's right. Ooh, I don't know!
0:37:08 > 0:37:12- £85 it has to make. - Let's stick with what we've got. - All right then, yes.- OK.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15So we were going to go with it and now we're not, is that right?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Yes, that's right. Yes. Sorry, Tim.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- We're not doing it.?- No.- No, we're not going with the bonus buy.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Right. I think the die is cast.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24We're not going with the bonus buy. And here it comes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28A Victorian silver tea infuser, of pierced egg form.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Birmingham, 1895.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32A nice little lot, this.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34And interest once again.
0:37:34 > 0:37:3745. 55. With me at £55.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Who'll bid me 60 now. It is £55.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Who'll bid me 60?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45At £55? Any more than £55? 60, 65?
0:37:45 > 0:37:4770, 75.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49£75 against you, then, at £75.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52It's going at £75.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Good call, girls.- Oh, brilliant!
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Don't you love this programme?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I'm so glad that you didn't go with it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- Are you glad that you didn't go with it?- Very glad.- Thank you.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I'm glad you didn't go with it. Even though you loved it.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06It would have been minus £10.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12As it is, you ring-fenced £55, which is what you're up.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14But don't tell me the Blues a thing, all right?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16- No, we won't, no. - Don't say a thing to them.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18We won't breathe a word.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21- Not a word, you girls.- That was like running a marathon!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Are you feeling nervous at all, you girls?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- No.- Yes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Why are you nervous?
0:38:31 > 0:38:33- We're nervous.- Very nervous. - Why?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I want to make a profit.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37You really want to win, don't you?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- We do. We do.- Anyway, your first lot coming up is the arts and crafts stool. Here it comes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Oak three-legged stool.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46With the embossed seat.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Nicely embossed with a galleon. And £15 I'm bid. With me at £15.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09It's going. Last chance. £35.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Yes!- Excellent!- It's what we like. - Good start, girls.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Good start, isn't it? £10 up.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Now your sifter.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21Silver sifting spoon with an apostle finial. I'm bid £10.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Oh, good start.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2512. 15. £18 in the front row.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33Sealing it now at £20. Two anywhere else?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Going slowly now. It's £20.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Do I see two? £20 on the right. I'll sell it to you, sir, for £20.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Are we all done?
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- At £20 and going, all done at £20. - Yes!
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Plus £10 on that. Lovely.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Now, your scent bottle.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Victorian clear glass and silver-mounted
0:39:50 > 0:39:51double-ended scent bottle.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Someone start me at £40, please.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Start me at 40. It's a bid, thank you, at 40.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Straight in at 40. 45. 50. £50 it is, front row at 50.

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Oh, no!- That is minus £15.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Which means, overall, you are plus £5.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23So, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- Yep, we're going to go with it. - We're going to go with it.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- You're going to go with that box? - Yes.- Yeah?- Yes.- Sure?- Yes.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31They're determined. We're going with the pine box.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34We trust Anita.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37We're going with the bonus buy, and here comes the pine box.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Small pine box, circa 1921. This one from Ewhurst near Guildford.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45And three bids once again.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I have interest to start me at 35.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50- Two bids of 35.- Yes, yes, yes!
0:40:50 > 0:40:54£55 on the book. At £55 straight in. Looking for 60, now. It's £55.
0:40:54 > 0:40:5760 by the pillar. 65.
0:40:57 > 0:40:5970, sir, thank you.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00She's my girl.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03£70. Five anywhere else? I'll sell it for 70. It's going.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It's your last chance, sir. At £70.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- £70.- Yes!- Yes!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10So that is plus £40 on that, no trouble at all.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Which means, overall, you are plus £45.- Brilliant.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Plus £45 is a very good score. Is that not good?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- That's really good.- Yes.- Delighted.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Well done. Don't say anything to the Reds, right?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24This could be a winning score and we will reveal all in a moment.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Ooh, I do love it when we get two teams of winners.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Just a question of scale, isn't it?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- Have you been chatting to one another at all?- No!- No!
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, both teams know that they're in the money, right?
0:41:40 > 0:41:46But the team that is running up today...the Blues.
0:41:46 > 0:41:47- Yes!- Oh!
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Which is bad luck, isn't it? Because you made some lovely profits.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- Particularly Anita's bonus buy.- Yes.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Anyway, you are up £45.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Here is your £45. What are you going to spend it on?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03We're going to give it to the Anthony Nolan Trust, because my husband's just
0:42:03 > 0:42:09had a bone marrow transplant and they found his donor for him, and they're very good charity.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11So we're going to donate it to them.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14And we're delighted to give them a little plug. So that's very generous of you.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Lovely to be taking home some money to be able to make the donation, so congratulations on that.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Now, girls. £55.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25So just a £10 note between you.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27There's your £55.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- Thank you very much.- Chrissie, your gingerbread mould making £55 of profit was a real result.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- It was fantastic.- What are you going to spend the money on?
0:42:36 > 0:42:39We're going to give it to the Born Free Foundation, the charity that
0:42:39 > 0:42:43- I work for and Chrissie used to work for.- Well, isn't that lovely? For the lions?- Yes.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49Well, there we go. A thoroughly charitable pair of teams we've had today, which is lovely.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:51 > 0:42:52ALL: Yes!
