0:00:01 > 0:00:03Cor, it's chilly today.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06In fact, it's downright freezing!
0:00:06 > 0:00:11And the only thing that's going to warm us up is a spot of bargain hunting.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Cor, what an urner.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Welcome to Newark,
0:00:37 > 0:00:41the largest antiques fair in Europe.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43There are 3,000 stalls here,
0:00:43 > 0:00:46and thank goodness I've got this little baby.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We're talking about the buggy, and here's a snippet of what's coming up.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Take it away, girl!
0:00:54 > 0:00:59In Red today, Anthea has teamed up with her Auntie Julie.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03What about £60, and I'll show you my boots!
0:01:03 > 0:01:04LAUGHTER
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Their opponents are Janet and her friend Anne.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I keep getting left behind.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Shopping's not as easy as it looks.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- What have you found, ladies? - Absolutely nothing.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I'm panicking now, James.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21How will it pan out at the auction?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25But that's for later.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Hi, guys.- BARGAIN HUNTERS: Hello.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Lovely to see you. Now, what's your tactics to beat the Blues?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33I think we're going to flutter our eyelashes.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Yeah, and flirt with the boots.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Is that the boots?- Yes, the boots.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40They are something else, those boots, aren't they?
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- They are.- I mean, you are definitely in the Red team.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- We are.- Now what's it with you and pyjamas then?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Gosh, after about nine o'clock, I'm very settled, so if I need to
0:01:50 > 0:01:54got to the shop, unfortunately, I still go in my pyjamas and slippers.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58We're talking about nine o'clock in the evening? What, you just walk round the corner?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01No, I have to drive there, as well.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- You get in the car, in your jim-jams, with your slippers?- Yeah.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06And drive to the garage after nine?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Gosh. What about you, Jules, you've had one or two unfortunate experiences at work, haven't you?
0:02:13 > 0:02:18I have. Yes. I started work in a new office.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I didn't know the sort of office protocol.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I went to the toilet, later on in the evening.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Well, it was about quarter to five. - You just had the call of nature.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Yes. Just went to the toilet,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and after I'd finished, I went to open the door, I couldn't get out.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37They'd bolted the door from the outside, it was a protocol to bolt the door at the top.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- And they locked you in? - Yes.- And they had gone home?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Yes.- So what did you do, settle down for the night?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Well, I did start to, I sort of raided the cupboard, there was some
0:02:47 > 0:02:50mops in there, thinking I could sit on the toilet
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- and make myself comfortable for the night.- Absolutely.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Get a few rolls out, just in case you want to make a nice pillow.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01I was in the right place. There was water, I had a toilet handy.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Very handy. So that was it, you were set for the night.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11Yeah, so in the end, I sort of broke the window, I could see outside.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I was praying that somebody was going to come back to this van,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and they did, and the fire engine came,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20the police came, and it was very embarrassing.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23It was a drama. What a beastly experience.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It was at the time. I can just about laugh at it now.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29No, quite! Well, I don't want to pick over any old wounds, you know.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32On that happy note, we'd better shove off to the Blues I think.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Be very careful where you go to the lavatory.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How do you two girls know each other?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41We've known each other for about ten years, we bowl together at Oakham Bowls Club.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Do you? Fanatically?- Absolutely.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Do you get anywhere with your bowling?
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Yes, we've reached the national finals at Leamington.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52So would you say you're pretty competitive, you two?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Because of the bowls? Yeah?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Losing is not an option.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I rather think these Reds are quaking in their boots here.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Anne, what about you and antiques, darling, do you collect?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I collect figurines made by Francesca, which are no longer in production.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What other things do you get up to?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14Well, I've written my life story for my grandchildren,
0:04:14 > 0:04:19and told them all about the stories that happened to their mothers
0:04:19 > 0:04:24when they were small, like the time we were going on holiday to Rhodesia,
0:04:24 > 0:04:30and we had to cross the Zambezi on a platform attached to a motor boat.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And halfway across, the motor boat broke down,
0:04:33 > 0:04:39and we went floating away down the Zambezi, which is a crocodile-infested river.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Is this another one of your lavatory stories?
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Don't tell me, and you couldn't find a lavatory!
0:04:46 > 0:04:51And we were looking around to find something that we could actually put
0:04:51 > 0:04:54the children on, because they were quite tiny at the time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Crocodiles and things are not good with little children.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Absolutely not. - No, just a snack really.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01All of a sudden, they got the boat going again,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and the crisis was over.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08So listen, here's the £300, the £300 moment. You know the rules.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13Your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Today's experts are very competitive.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- I'm going to win.- I'm going to win.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20- I'm going to win.- I'm going to win.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23For the Reds, Catherine Southon.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26For the Blues, James Lewis.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Bit nippy today. - It is.- Yes.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34All right, girls, what are we going to do? What we going to look for?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39We have an option, we can spend little or we can spend big.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41What are we are going to do?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Spend big.- Spend big?- I think, yeah.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- If we spend little, then we don't lose so much.- Oh no!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50How about we have a little look outside first of all,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- that's where we're more likely to find the bargains.- OK.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Come on. Let's go looking. - Let's go looking.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So they're off. In just one hour,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03each team has to buy three items with the £300 I've just given them.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08But who's going to find their bargains first?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13They don't rock my boat.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Two against one.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16All right. THEY LAUGH
0:06:16 > 0:06:18£65.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That's really pretty.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's pretty but it's not hallmarked.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Does that mean it's continental silver?- Yeah.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I did like the post box as well.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Really?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hm. Catherine doesn't.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- £245.- Oh my goodness.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I've got expensive tastes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41You have.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43See, that's lovely. That's really pretty.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48Art Nouveau - that nice, sort of, long, flowing hair
0:06:48 > 0:06:51that you associate with Art Nouveau.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54It would be nice if it was silver or something like that,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57but it's not.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00£140. Thank you very much.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02We haven't bought anything yet, have we?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Stop. Don't!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Ooh. That stick.- This one?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Why do you like that?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18It's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Do you think it's definitely the right pommel on the top? - Probably not,
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- if I like it.- It might have been put on later.- Yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- How much?- £120?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I thought he said £20.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35That's too much. That's way too much for us.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Too much. Nice though. Lovely.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45No-one's bought anything. Come on, girls.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49This is a tough old game. But look, I've spotted something.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52This old boy is really quite special.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Towards the end of the 19th century in the 1880s, a brand new artistic
0:07:57 > 0:08:03colony sprung up in the port of Newlyn, close to Penzance,
0:08:03 > 0:08:06and all sorts of artists were attracted to that part
0:08:06 > 0:08:10of Cornwall, and set up their painting easels outside.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14The founder of the Newlyn School was Walter Langley.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Now, this picture says absolutely nothing on it
0:08:18 > 0:08:21as to who the artist may be.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26It simply says here, "Sketch from life in pencil."
0:08:26 > 0:08:29But it doesn't tell you who the artist is. Maddeningly.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Or fortunately, depending on how your speculative
0:08:33 > 0:08:38juices are going, because, if this picture said, "W Langley"
0:08:38 > 0:08:41in the bottom right-hand corner, I promise you it would not
0:08:41 > 0:08:45be sitting in this antiques fair at Newark.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50It would have been sold years ago, on the international market.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Now, the first thing I do is to spin it round
0:08:53 > 0:08:54and have a look at the back.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59And if you look carefully, the pasted-on paper back
0:08:59 > 0:09:03has never been disturbed, not since the day this was framed,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06potentially 120 years ago.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Even the rusty ended nails are there, as placed originally
0:09:11 > 0:09:14under the paper, and that to me is a very good sign,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17because this picture has not been messed about with.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It hasn't been taken out of the frame, and quite frankly, if you
0:09:21 > 0:09:26were to take it out of the frame and discover on the back an inscription
0:09:26 > 0:09:29that confirmed it was by Walter Langley,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33then it would transform the watercolour from a simple and ordinary
0:09:33 > 0:09:35picture into an important work of art
0:09:35 > 0:09:40that at auction would be worth at least £2,000-£3,000.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45What might you buy it for on a stall around the corner?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well, it could be yours for £120.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Exciting stuff. But is anything in the frame for our teams yet?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- What have you found, ladies? - Absolutely nothing.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Nothing? This is lovely. But I think the price is very high.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- I saw the bowl.- It's WMF.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's really weighty as well.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08It's a nice early one because it's got the ostrich symbol, and that was
0:10:08 > 0:10:14the first before they stamped "WMF", they used the ostrich symbol.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17So that tells us it's quite early.
0:10:17 > 0:10:23But, £190, that's a lot of money.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27That's a lot of money. Just see what his best price is.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30What's your best price on the WMF?
0:10:30 > 0:10:32£160 is my very best.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- That's an awful lot.- I mean, I can see that at auction,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40probably about £120, £180, something like that?
0:10:40 > 0:10:47In case you're wondering, WMF means Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Might pinch a profit on it. - Might get a little something.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Do you like it?- Yeah.- Good name.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Can you do £140?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56£150 at the very best.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Might be in with a chance. What do you want to do?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02If you want to go for it, go for it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- You're going to blame me.- I'm not!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08We're here to have fun. Like we said, Anthea.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Go for it. One piece done.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Two to go.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16At last! Only 30 minutes left, though.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- I wonder if the Blues know.- Hate it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I hate it, but is it good?
0:11:22 > 0:11:27A lot of the time, you'd expect to have little covers on there.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29But it's French.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- It's 1890.- So are they ink wells?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Ink wells, one for red, one for black ink. You didn't have blue in the 19th century.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's £35, which isn't a huge amount of money.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Let's see. What would be, well, could you do any less than that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50- What would be your best price? - £35, that would be £32, £30.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54We've got to make a profit at auction. Could you do it for £20, please?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I couldn't do it for £20. No.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59What about £22?
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- No.- Go on!- £28. I'll do it for £28.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06I wouldn't pay that for it. I really wouldn't.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- OK.- Sure?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Well. We know it's there.- Thank you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Your best on it is £28?- £28.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15You couldn't make it £25, could you?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- That Anne's not giving up.- Please?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Erm...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Go on then. £25.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27James. He'll do it for £25.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31You both need to be in agreement.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Right. Janet, he'll do it for £25.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Do you think that's good?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40It's up to you. I don't want to force you into it, if you don't like it. I mean, the thing is...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I think it's hideous.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44No sale.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Don't mince your words though, Janet, but you'd better buy something soon.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Ooh, that feels much better.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Right. Don't look at the jewellery. - There's a lot of pretty things.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We don't have that sort of money. - I know. OK.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Now, that is lovely and early.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Have you found something? - Yeah, it's known as black slip.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12It's a colour-coated ware, but it's very early.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18These three little impressed marks are typical of Ancient Greece.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24- Hellenistic, 300 BC, 2,000 years old.- Really?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Really. That is fantastic.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28It must be awfully expensive then.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33These things are appreciated by the academics, but there isn't a massive following for them.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39- I mean, these things are going to be on the internet, aren't they?- Yes, but it's whether the auction room
0:13:39 > 0:13:43are confident enough in their ability to say, "Yes, we know it's right." It is right.
0:13:43 > 0:13:50Everything is right about it, the way the foot rim is done, the base, these wonderful impressed marks.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- What's your gut feeling about it? - It should make, in my opinion...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Hello, Tim.- Hello, darling. - Tell me, what do you think?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- That's an old bowl.- It is, isn't it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- How much have you bought so far? - We haven't bought anything yet.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- I'm really panicking.- Nothing?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05We're getting a bit desperate.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I mean, that's an old bowl, isn't it?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- I don't like it.- You don't like it? - No. I'd rather have that pink thing.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12What don't you like about it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Well, how much is it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- It's £50 at the moment.- £50? - I can't influence you,
0:14:17 > 0:14:23but all I can say is, I think you're going to have to, you know, buck up, really.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- I really know.- Quite a big buck up. - If you say yes, we'll have it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- I'll leave you to cogitate. - I'd pay £50 for that.- You would?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Yeah, I would.- So you'd be excited if it came into your sale room?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39I'd love it. It's not huge money, and it never will be, but...
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- And we'll make a profit on it, James?- I hope so.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Or we'll wipe our faces.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Or you'll wipe away your tears if you don't get a move on. Only 20 minutes to go, teams.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- That's really nice. - Mega money again.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Yeah.- Is there's something missing?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00It's very nice, but it's far too expensive for us.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Nice thing, though.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Oh.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Wow, look at that! - I don't know how much it is.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Do you like it, Janet? - I quite like that, actually.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13I absolutely hate it with a passion.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Right, that's fine then.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- But no, it doesn't matter if it's the right money.- Has it got any age?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21How old it is? 1920s?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24'30s, '40s, yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- £140.- £140?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- £140. Let's move on. Come on. - Let's move on.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36What do you think about this?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Erm...not an awful lot, to be honest!
0:15:39 > 0:15:41It's a pair of mother of pearl binoculars.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Sometimes you get the mother of pearl around the eye piece as well.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I mean, they're in working condition, seem to be OK.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52The lenses are OK. Originally, they would have been in a case.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56A nice case. Sometimes, as well, you get a handle here.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- OK.- In this sort of state, you'd probably be looking at £30-£50,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02£30-£40, something like that.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I mean, they're OK, but they are sort of two a penny, to be honest.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- Why do you like them?- I just like the mother-of-pearl on it, yeah.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It's a shame they haven't got the case.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Yeah, yeah.- But they're nice.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Sometimes you get a signature as well round the eye piece.- OK.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22They're nice, though. They're still nice.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- I do like them.- We might be able to find something a bit more exciting.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- All right.- Shall we carry on?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30We'll see how we get on.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- You can bear them in mind. - Yeah. Keep it in mind.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35We're not saying a definite no,
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- but we're saying... - No to £35, and no at the moment.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I don't know about you, viewers, but I'm not getting a sense of urgency here.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Both teams still need two items.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49How many minutes?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- You've got 15.- Oh, God.- OK, now, I say we buy that ink stand,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55we get one of them out of the way.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57We've still got one to find.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Because I think otherwise we'll have two minutes, and two things to find,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05and we're going to just pick up anything and probably lose even more.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- We'll do it.- Let's go do that.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09That's more like it. Back to the ink well.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14It's Oriental. They say Chinese, salt glaze, I love the colour, the colour's wonderful.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- You don't like it?- Jules likes it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- I like it, yes. - What's your rock bottom?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Do you like that?- £65.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26£50 and we might make a bit of money on it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- I'm losing money.- £50?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30£55?
0:17:30 > 0:17:35- Oh, go on. We've got ten minutes. - I did say £65, and I think £65 is,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39if you see the starting price, you're doing very well.
0:17:39 > 0:17:45- He's gone down quite a bit. - I think it's quite nice, I think it's quite an interesting piece.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48£55.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50That's my, you know, I can't...
0:17:50 > 0:17:56What about £60 and then it's straight then, isn't it? £60 and I'll show you my boots.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58She said "boots"!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Sadly.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Nice and even. - And we've got red wellies on.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Go on. £60.- Thank you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10£60. I don't know why I would do it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14I suppose I'll see myself on telly one day.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Ooh! The ink well is still here. - On the left.
0:18:19 > 0:18:2024 quid. Any good?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24If it goes up in fives, it means we might get a pound, that's all.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Er... Go on then.- Deal.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Thank you.- Thank you very much. Thank you. Well done.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Let's keep going. This way.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Cor, things don't half turn round quickly on this programme.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I did really like the thermometer.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- We couldn't have afforded that. - I know. So I need to get over it.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45We've only got ten minutes left and we've got to find that last piece.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Yeah, OK.- You look really upset.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49She looks devastated!
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- I liked it.- You liked it, Jules.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- You wanted that, didn't you? - I did like it. Yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55But it's too much money.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- You two are a nightmare! - It's too much money.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I'm going home. I'm going home.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04These are horrible. These are horrible.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- I'm panicking now, James. - Keep looking.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Right, we've got to keep on top of it, girls.- Yes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- The little box?- I'm not sure.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16£25. That's the rock bottom price.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Rock bottom? OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21£25, little dressing table box.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Nice shaped sides, so it's not plain, and the bracket feet
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- on the bottom there. - I'd have that on my dressing table.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- That, to me, is a sweet little object.- It is, yeah.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The lining's seen better days.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- That's original, is it? - It's original, but it's poor.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39But it would polish up. Yeah, look.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Oh my goodness, yes.- Coming off.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Is it silver?- Solid silver. It's £25.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- I think so, yes. - There's a profit there.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53We've got seven minutes to go and if I'd found that five minutes from the beginning, I'd have bought it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- I think we've done all right there. - OK.- At 25 quid. OK, yeah?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm confident, for the first time.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- OK.- Yes. Deal. Thank you very much.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03For the first time he's confident.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Who'd have thought the Blues would finish first?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Shall we get the binoculars?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Or do you want to get your stick, see if you can go and offer him £90?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- How much have we got? £90? - We need to get £80.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22You could leave me a fiver. £85.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Desperate, desperate. Run, run, run!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Do you want to go and try? Why don't you go that way
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and see if you can get the binoculars for rock bottom.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- And then we make that decision in the last minute.- OK.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37What we're going to go for.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Ah, but which one will get the best price?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Anthea or Auntie Julie?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Huh?- No, because it's his friend's.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50It's his friend's stall and he won't do it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Oh man. That's bad.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54He's not happy.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Have we found her? Pretty please?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Are we there? How much?- £15?
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Oh yes.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You have to give her them for £15.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's the last item,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and we're running out of time.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Thank you.- Are you happy with those?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Yeah.- Are you?
0:21:16 > 0:21:19She likes them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Too late now, girls.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Time ladies, please.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28That's it, the shopping's over, but what about the leftover lolly?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33Well, Catherine and James are just going to have to shove off around the fair,
0:21:33 > 0:21:39and find the bonus buy - the mystery item, which pitches up later in the auction,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41and the teams then have to decide whether to go with it
0:21:41 > 0:21:46and maybe enhance their profit, or stand the risk of making a disastrous loss.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Anyway, right now, let's recap on what the Reds bought.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57The red-booted Reds kicked off paying £150 for an Art Nouveau bowl.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Next, they got all fired up about the green Chinese jar.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05And, determined to see a profit at auction,
0:22:05 > 0:22:11they paid £15 for the mother-of-pearl opera glasses.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Well, look at that, you beautiful team.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- How fantastic, you finished. - We have.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Which is quite an achievement, isn't it? Have you ever been so cold?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22I'm freezing.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Absolutely bitter, isn't it? But you've had a nice time, I hope?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Yes, it's been lovely. - How much did you spend?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29We spent £225.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31You spent £225? That is a really good total.
0:22:31 > 0:22:37OK, £225 spent, so you have £75 in leftover lolly.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Where is that?- I've got it.- Oh yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Thank you very much. I won't check it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42See, out comes the hand.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Her tiny hand is frozen.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Go off and sing an aria.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I will. I hope so, I've got to do something good for these girls.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I'm getting the vibes they're a bit despondent.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57- Are you?- Yes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I don't think so, you're not despondent, are you?- No.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06You look perfectly happy to me. Good luck with spending your £75.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Good luck, girls. Love you loads.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Missing you already.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Why don't we check out what the Blues have bought?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Once they started splashing the cash,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18they paid £50 for an Ancient Greek bowl.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20What does a Greek earn?
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- On a grade of one to ten, how much did you hate that bowl?- Nought.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28So you love it? No, you hate it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34They umm-ed and ah-ed over the ink stand, eventually buying it for £24.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41Finally, they parted with £25 for the silver Edwardian trinket box.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46And how much have you spent overall?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- £99.- £99.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50That could be why you found it so difficult.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55We were prepared to pay more if we could have found something that we liked.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00But the stuff we like was a lot, lot more, so no profit.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02£201 of leftover lolly.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04This is more than he earns in a week.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09No better man to do it for you than James Lewis.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11And very, very, very good luck.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15But for me, now, I'm going to head off somewhere really rather political.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Hughenden Manor, the home of Benjamin Disraeli, or "Dizzy"
0:24:19 > 0:24:21to his mates. Ha!
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Just look at this gorgeous Georgian house.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Built originally in 1730, it's got double bays,
0:24:32 > 0:24:38it's covered with stucco and is, of its type, a splendid example.
0:24:38 > 0:24:44You just can't believe that that is this. Amazing, isn't it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:53This house, Hughenden Manor, was bought by Benjamin Disraeli in 1848.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Shortly afterwards he commissioned Edward Buckton Lamb,
0:24:57 > 0:25:02his favourite architect, to make it Gothic in feel.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13If you look along the top tier, that balustrade on the top, the kind of parapet level,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17is kind of hit-and-miss and looks rather like a castle.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19That's called castellation.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25If you come down the bays, you can see that the lintel's been given the Gothic treatment.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28They have been built out from the surface in brick,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32and look rather harsh and angular, almost as if they're fortified.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37And, of course, the window frames themselves are all champfered in the Gothic manner.
0:25:37 > 0:25:45But the biggest change of all is knocking off all that white stucco and revealing the brick itself.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47But that's not all they did.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Inside, the alterations continued.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59So, what could look more Gothic than this, eh?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Actually, when Disraeli bought this house
0:26:01 > 0:26:07this outer entrance hall already had the Gothic fan vaulting in it,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10which had been inserted by his predecessor.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12This stuff's made of solid plaster.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17What Disraeli did was to extend the theme into that hallway,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21with almost matching fan vaulting,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24except this fan vaulting is made of plaster and linen.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27The theme continues, though.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32This is a pure Disraeli Gothic space. The garden hall.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38Once again we have a nice, spiky lozenge Gothic-effect ceiling.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40I love these doorways, don't you?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44With their gothic arch and within each of the doors
0:26:44 > 0:26:48you've got these cusped, sharp bits.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51We've got two pieces of Disraeli Gothic furniture,
0:26:51 > 0:26:58one early piece dating from 1832. A chair made in the Gothic style,
0:26:58 > 0:27:02but the frivolous early Gothic revival style.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08This chair was made down the road in High Wycombe around 1832.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12At the time of the election when Disraeli stood for Parliament.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's an election chair.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Favourite Disraeli colours of pink and cream and these iron bits
0:27:19 > 0:27:24on the side were made to take long poles, so that when Disraeli was returned
0:27:24 > 0:27:30as the Member of Parliament, he could be picked up and paraded through the town.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34The only problem was he lost the election and they never used the chair.
0:27:34 > 0:27:41But this chair, which is just over 30 years later is truly this churchy-type,
0:27:41 > 0:27:47muscular Gothic that we tend to associate with the Gothic revival.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51The back's carved from a solid lump of oak,
0:27:51 > 0:27:58but so crisply carved that you could practically prick your fingers on the end of these holly leaves.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03This is painful, High Church Gothic.
0:28:05 > 0:28:11And just as Hughenden moved from Palladian to Victorian Gothic, so, too, did its owner.
0:28:11 > 0:28:18From the Georgian dandy to the Victorian statesmen we remember - an Englishman and his castle, eh?
0:28:28 > 0:28:34We've come steaming down the A1, to Gilding's saleroom in Market Harborough, to be with Mark Gilding.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39- Good morning, Tim.- Now, Anthea and Julie and Catherine,
0:28:39 > 0:28:43their expert, have gone into a pretty macabre mix of objects.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45They have, yes.
0:28:45 > 0:28:52Spanning lots of periods, starting off with this so-called WMF brass and copper jardiniere.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Now, Mark, how do you rate that?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think it fits into a particular style.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00It's pretty nice quality. I would say £50-£70.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- How much?- £50-£70.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05They paid 150.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well, there we go.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09And I have to be the one to tell 'em.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Thanks(!) OK.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18Now, the ginger jar, this stoneware, green drizzle-glazed Chinese job.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Do you like it? - Not particularly, no.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Is it 18th century? That's the question.
0:29:23 > 0:29:29Well, quite. Unless you have that test, which is about £1,500 worth,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- it's jolly difficult to tell, isn't it?- It is.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35And my estimate of £20-£30, it's not worth the process, I don't think.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38No, they only paid 60.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41But 20-30, to 60 equals another loss, I fancy.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44This is not looking pretty, chaps.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46The last hope for them are the opera glasses.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51Now, how do you see them?
0:29:51 > 0:29:55I think they're very nice. A good example of their type.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Nice mother-of-pearl on them.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I think we'll make £30-£50.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02£15 paid. Phew! That's a relief.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06At least they are predicting a possible profit on one of their three items.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11This team are definitely going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- Jules and Anthea, are you OK?- Fine, thank you.- Now, you spent £235.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21You gave that coy Catherine £75 of leftover lolly to find your bonus buy.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22What did you buy, Catherine?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Ooh!- OK!
0:30:27 > 0:30:28I know it's a bit manly.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30It's not very feminine.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- I've heard of him. - Have you? There we are.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36It is a Crown Devon musical tankard.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Have a listen to this. If it's going to work.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I can't get it to work now.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43COGS TURN
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Hang on.- Oh. It sounded better than that when I bought it, I promise.
0:30:46 > 0:30:481930s.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Cost a few shillings during their time.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54They were made before and after the war.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58That's in beautiful condition, by the way, perfect condition.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It looks nice. How much did you pay for it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Now, I paid £35 for this.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- OK.- And they always make about £50-£60 at auction.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Always? - Actually, don't quote me on that!
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Now, how do you feel about this, Jules?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Erm...it's a mug, isn't it?
0:31:18 > 0:31:24But the musical bit might be appealing to people.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Appealing! Ha-ha!
0:31:26 > 0:31:28They like a joke!
0:31:31 > 0:31:35I will be perfectly honest with you, it is not a particularly rare item.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37They do come up from time to time.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38But it's in lovely condition.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41You're not very excited, are you?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45No.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50Well, on that happy note, I think we'll find out what the auctioneer thinks about the musical jug.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55We're some distance from the West Country.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Is this likely to do any good, do you think?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59I think it will do OK.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02But a Crown Devon, with a hunting theme...
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Hunting theme, which is good around here.- Absolutely.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08The condition is pretty good.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10That's a good sign for it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12And I think we'll make £40-£60.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Brilliant. £35 paid by Catherine. She'll be well pleased with that.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:32:18 > 0:32:24Janet and Anne and James Lewis. First item, the Hellenistic bowl.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Yes. Bit of a rarity in Market Harborough.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Not much Greek stuff around here, I'd say.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35No, we'd put £100-150, could make anything.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37On the other hand, if you haven't got so much Greek interest
0:32:37 > 0:32:42as you thought you might have got, you might be struggling at 30 notes, mightn't you?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Yes.- It is a difficult thing.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- It is.- You can only have a punt.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49He paid £50, that cunning monkey, James Lewis.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55- Much more predictable will be the porcelain ink set, won't it? - Yes it will. Absolutely.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Very decorative. - Yes, nice French desk piece.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Quite nice quality and well decorated, as you say.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- And how much do you think for that? - £60-£80.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Great - £24 paid.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08If you are right, this team is going to do very well.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12The silver trinket box next.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Classic piece of dressing table silverware.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Yes, it is. A very collectible piece of small silver, little bit worn,
0:33:18 > 0:33:24- but I have high hopes for this one, at least 100, maybe 150.- £25 paid.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Maybe they are not going to need a bonus buy, but we're going to have a look at it anyway.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You only spent £99.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- I know. Pathetic, wasn't it? - £201 went to the genius.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Did he blow the lot? James, show us your ware.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I didn't blow the lot, but...
0:33:39 > 0:33:46- Oh, wow! Wow!- Good! You like it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Oh, I love it!- Fantastic, good. - Gorgeous.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I take it you like cats, you girls.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55It's Crown Derby, it's Imari, and it's beautiful.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Absolutely. How much did you pay for it?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Did you blow the lot on it?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03It's a first, there's no scratch through the mark, so it's a first.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06It's from the Abyssinian Cat range. So it's quite a good thing.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08What do you think?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10£70? 90?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Would you be pleased at that?
0:34:12 > 0:34:16I mean, I would pay that because I think it's gorgeous.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Absolutely fantastic.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- OK. I paid 30.- No!
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Wow!
0:34:22 > 0:34:23What a clever boy!
0:34:23 > 0:34:27There, you see?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30That is why he's so popular with these girls.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Because he's so cheap to take out.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Wonderful. You couldn't have done better.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37That's brilliant. Thank you.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- What is your prediction, James? - I would put £70-£100 on it
0:34:41 > 0:34:45as an estimate, so if it makes £100 I think that's a fantastic result.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47If it makes 70 I'd be pleased, as well.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51We'll find out in the auction, won't we? Girls, hold on to those thoughts.
0:34:51 > 0:34:57But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about James' little cat.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01What do you rate that at? Anything?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- I'm allergic to cats.- Are you?- Yes.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Don't, for goodness sake, start sneezing.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- It's a magnificently decorated modern piece of porcelain.- It is.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Absolutely.- A real collectible, if you like that sort of thing.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17We have quite a few clients who do buy these things in the sales
0:35:17 > 0:35:21and I think we should make perhaps 60, maybe even £80.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Lewis paid £30, so he paid the right price for it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26And are you taking the auction for us?
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Yes, we'll be starting in a few minutes.- We're in safe hands!
0:35:36 > 0:35:38OK, Anth, Jules, ready for this?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Very.- Quite excited, aren't you?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Very.- Yes. I can tell.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48You've got that Crown Devon musical mug job to fall back on, which is reassuring for you, isn't it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Very much, yes.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52THEY LAUGH
0:35:52 > 0:35:54First lot up is your old pot,
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- and here it comes. - We've got to pray.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Bidding with me here, £45. 55.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0260.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06£60? 5? 70?
0:36:06 > 0:36:09In the room at 70. Internet's down five. 80?
0:36:11 > 0:36:1685? 90? £90 in the room, £90 in the room, still out.

0:36:18 > 0:36:25- £100 bidding tens now, please, at £100. £100 in the room...- Come on.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- £100, selling now. £100.- No!
0:36:30 > 0:36:34£100. That is minus 50.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- So close.- Not off to a great start.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Better than we thought. - So close but yet so far.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- Still exciting.- Still exciting.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43Come on. Here comes your green pot.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4710 I'm bid for the jar, £12, 15, 18, 20, 25,
0:36:47 > 0:36:5125 at the back, at 25? 25 bid, at 8 I'll take. At 25.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55It's in the room, make no mistake, selling here.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58£25.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00You paid 60. £25.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02That is minus £35.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05A bit of a disaster, that one.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06- It is, isn't it? - Not so good at the moment.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Let's go with the binoculars.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Come on. - Quite nice little things these.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Bidding here at £22 on the book, at 22.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1522 I'm bid here, at 22.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Come on.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22At 22, 25 on the Internet. 25.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- I thought these would make more, at 25.- So did I.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28At £25.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31You're minus £75.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34It could be a lot worse.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37It could be a lot worse, believe me.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40You are minus 75. What are you going to do about this bonus buy?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Go for it.- You're going to go with that musical mug?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Let's have the Peel. - Here it comes.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47A musical jug. John Peel.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49£20 bid.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53£20 I'm bid, at £22, 22, 25, 28.

0:38:01 > 0:38:0832, with you at 35. £35. At £35. Have another go at £35, £35 in the room.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11At 35, it will sell.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- £35. Wiped its face.- No profit.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17No losses, no shame, no gain.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Overall you are minus £75.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20You monkeys!
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Don't you go telling those Blues a thing, right?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Janet and Anne, do you know how the Reds got on?- Not at all.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Haven't spoken to them? Good. We don't want you to know.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40But I think you've got a really good chance.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Do you think so? - I really think so, Janet.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- You're looking doubtful.- Not very confident.- We're not confident.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49This is your chance now. This old bowl.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Hellenistic period bowl.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53What do we say for this one, then?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I'm opening the bidding here at £45.
0:38:56 > 0:39:0045 I'm bid, at 45.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04£50 I'm bid, and I'm out now, more bids on the book. Five.
0:39:04 > 0:39:1160, five, 70, at 65, 70, five, £75 then?
0:39:13 > 0:39:17£75, then. Selling at 75.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Well, I don't care. £25 up.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21That's what that says to me.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Plus 25. I love it. Well done, Lewis.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Now the ink stand.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- There's the ink stand. - £30 to start, at £30 bid?
0:39:29 > 0:39:3130 I'm bid, at 30.
0:39:33 > 0:39:34£30, 30 bid.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36At five, I'll take.

0:39:38 > 0:39:43With me then, all out in the room, at £30, on the book and selling it, £30.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45£30.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47That says plus six to me.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Does seem to be quite reasonable.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51OK, the trinket box.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55This has to be a winner now. Lewis.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58On the book now, bidding with me here at £50, £50 I'm bid.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Double the money.
0:40:00 > 0:40:0765, 75, 80, five, 90. At £90 right at the back, five?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08100. 110.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10110, right at the back. 120.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Are you bidding?
0:40:13 > 0:40:14120 here, it's your turn.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Almost, almost.
0:40:16 > 0:40:22140. 140 in the front here, at 140.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27150, are you bidding? £150, next, all out at 150, still out at 150.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Sold that for £150.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33That is phenomenal.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34That is plus 125.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40Plus the 31 you had before, which is plus 156.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- 156 up.- Well done.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Thank you!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47£156 up.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Now you can go out and buy that scent bottle you liked, all right?
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- And you can keep it.- Yes!
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Girls, what are you going to do about the cat?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Oh, definitely, yes.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02We are going with the Abyssinian and here she comes. Miaow!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Derby Royal Cats paperweight.
0:41:04 > 0:41:0840, 50, 60, 70, 80, £90 I'm bid.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12£90 on the book here, at £90. Are we all out in the room at 90?
0:41:12 > 0:41:14100, I'll take.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16£90 bid.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Last chance then, at 90, it will sell.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22That is some cat, isn't it? £90.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Well done, James. You're a star.
0:41:25 > 0:41:33That is another £60 up, which means, overall, you are plus 216 smackers.
0:41:33 > 0:41:39£216! We'll need to go to a hole in the wall. We haven't got that much!
0:41:45 > 0:41:50The runners-up today by a substantial margin are the Reds.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- Did you have a funny feeling this was coming your way? - We somehow did think that.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58I thought you might have done, what with minus 50, minus 35.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01You did make a tenner on your binoculars, though.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Overall, sadly, minus £75.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- Which doesn't sound so much if you say it quickly, does it?- No.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- Have you had fun? - We had a good time.
0:42:10 > 0:42:15You had a good time. We've loved having you on the programme and you've been real sports.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19But the victors today who have won £216...
0:42:19 > 0:42:22THEY GASP
0:42:22 > 0:42:26£216!
0:42:26 > 0:42:28This is, like, awesome.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- Well done.- And I congratulate you.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32All thanks to James.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34A team effort. Well, it's very sweet of you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37But you had a good hand in this, James, congratulations.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41I don't know what James Lewis' commission is on all of this.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44And I don't choose to know, quite frankly. Passing the £1 along.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- Have you had a good time, girls? - Fantastic.- Wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50It's right up there on the profit league on Bargain Hunt.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52You've been a great team.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- So join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?- Yes!
