0:00:00 > 0:00:02It might be peeing down with rain,

0:00:02 > 0:00:05but our hearts are full of sunshine!

0:00:05 > 0:00:07So let's go Bargain Hunting!

0:00:32 > 0:00:37We're at Deene Park Antiques Fair and it's a bit damp!

0:00:37 > 0:00:40But we've got £600 to spend today

0:00:40 > 0:00:41cos it's double-up day!

0:00:42 > 0:00:44And here's what's in store.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47The blue team struggle to find their way.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50It's the other way? Run that direction!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54The red team struggle to stay together.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56We've lost Carol.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57Carol, where are you going?

0:00:58 > 0:01:02And I trot up the road to Sheffield, to the Millennium Gallery.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07So, for the reds today we've got Mandy and Carol.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11And for the blues we've got friends Megan and Carol. Lovely!

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Hi, girls.- Hello.- Mandy, tell me how you met, darling.

0:01:15 > 0:01:21I was working at a bingo club when Carol came to join eight years ago and took over as manager.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23That sounds special. Is it good fun?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's great fun. We get to meet a lot of people.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27We make a lot of friends.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31You couldn't go out in your pyjamas cos everybody knows who you are.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34I don't go out in my pyjamas much.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- Now, you are on a health kick at the moment?- Yeah, me and Carol

0:01:38 > 0:01:40decided we needed to trim up slightly

0:01:40 > 0:01:44so three times a week, if we can, we get to the gym.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Don't we?- Yes.- I drag her there, but we go!

0:01:47 > 0:01:52- She's trying to get a shape like mine.- Naturally, very nice, too.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55- What tactics are you going to use today?- Subtle.- Stylish.

0:01:55 > 0:02:00- Sophisticated.- Like you lot, really. - Yes.- Yeah. We are the Bingo Babes!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03That's sweet, isn't it? Do you ever go to bingo?

0:02:03 > 0:02:05BOTH: No.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10Already we feel a chasm opening up between our teams!

0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Your biggest passion is your allotment?- Allotment and wildlife.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I have hedgehogs that visit my garden.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19I feed the little hedgehogs.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22And we have a canal very close to the home

0:02:22 > 0:02:25and they have little ducklings at the moment.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28So every day I have to go and feed the ducklings.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- A lot of feeding going on in your area.- It costs a lot of money.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Carol, your job is pretty creative. - It is quite creative, yes.

0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Tell us about it.- I recycle lots of old furniture, and turn them into something different.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46- How long have you been doing this? - Most of my life, since I was little.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Are you going to use any of your knowledge to bag some bargains? - I hope so.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55- What do you plan to do?- I'm going to think big and blow the lot. - Really?- Yes.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I love that, when the lot gets blown. Very good.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's just as well it's double-up day

0:03:00 > 0:03:03because today you get £600 apiece.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06That's £1,200 to spend. You know the rules.

0:03:06 > 0:03:12Your experts await. Off you shove! Off to the wet tents!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16I think our teams will need a little help.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Today this comes in the form of Charles Hanson for the reds

0:03:20 > 0:03:22and David Harper for the blues.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27The rules are simple.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29£600, an hour to shop, three items to find.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32The team with the most profit at auction win!

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Let's get cracking!

0:03:36 > 0:03:41- OK. Double-up day today. £600 to spend.- We're real excited.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Where do we go with that? - We're ladies. We like to spend. We'll spend it all!

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Good luck, Charles!

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Girls, this is a very scary day. We've got £600. What will we do with it?

0:03:53 > 0:03:57I don't know. I think we're looking at perhaps some silver.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Silver.- Silver, glass.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Are we going to spend the lot? - Yes, please!- Come on, then!

0:04:03 > 0:04:08- OK. Do what you do best, girls, and spend some money.- Yes, please.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- Come on, Carol! - I've only got little legs.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Keep up, Carol. You've only just started, love!

0:04:14 > 0:04:18A bit of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. If that's a real one, that would be nice.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20This is a nice vase.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Oh, I like that. - It's really striking.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Look at that.- I like the red - they're like hearts.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30A bit of romance and grace.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34The spoons aren't going to be very expensive.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37- No.- You wouldn't see a profit. - Sets of spoons,

0:04:37 > 0:04:38possibly.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42Nice glass. Caithness glass, all hand-blown.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44But we've got 600 quid.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Yes, this is it.- I know.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Down comes the rain. Let's go inside here.- We'll head indoors.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Look out for that blue team!

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- I love that pair of decanters.- Yes, they are beautiful, aren't they?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- What's trade on that? - They're not cheap.- 100 quid?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06200 quid! Bit of trade on that.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08175.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10I wouldn't...

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, we're going to start a fight!

0:05:12 > 0:05:15- I like this box. Do you?- I do, yes.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17It's a really handsome... If we close it up...

0:05:18 > 0:05:25- Look at that. There you go. A really fine rosewood inlaid musical box. - Does it still work?

0:05:25 > 0:05:27We'll try it.

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- MUSIC PLAYS - There's a collector's market for these.

0:05:30 > 0:05:36A massive market. This is a very good Swiss or German musical box,

0:05:36 > 0:05:38probably around 1870.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- It was your entertainment of the day.- Yes, If you were in an elegant household,

0:05:42 > 0:05:48if you were suave and sophisticated, after afternoon tea, you might have this on display and play it.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51It's priced at 695,

0:05:51 > 0:05:53and I like it.

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Our mission, Carol, is to spend big, isn't it?- It is.- But not quite that big.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Mandy, you spoilsport.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, I know these two. They give fantastic deals.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yes, you may laugh! Right.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10What do we have, trade,

0:06:10 > 0:06:12that stands you absolutely nothing,

0:06:12 > 0:06:16that we might have a chance to make a profit in auction?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17They're sweet, yeah.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21They are absolutely gorgeous. They are all there.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22So no sneezing!

0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's a miniature domino set.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31I suppose it's a quirky little number.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35You might take it travelling. Imagine on your coach.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Yeah.- On a long journey.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Days on end.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- You could use it and play with it. - You could still use it.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43Carol, what drew you to it?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I don't know. The quirkiness of it.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49- I quite like the box, actually. - Mahogany, I think, isn't it?

0:06:49 > 0:06:55I love miniature items. Miniature furniture can be worth more than the big pieces.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Because the quality is as good, but it's made in miniature.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03There's so much craftsmanship goes into this sort of stuff. Amazing.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06What's the absolute death trade?

0:07:06 > 0:07:09The absolute death would be 38 on them.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, you are being awful to me today!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14You're normally much nicer than this!

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- You're being terrible. - They are a very nice item.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23To be honest, at auction, they would do quite well.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27- Because I've never seen another set like that.- I haven't, either.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I've never seen... - Stop agreeing with her!

0:07:30 > 0:07:33You're doing very badly!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35They're lovely ladies!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39The best I could do, being as it's you, would be 35.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43I think, to be honest, that gives you a good chance.

0:07:43 > 0:07:44I absolutely adore it.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It's beautiful, isn't it, Carol? - I do like it.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Let's think about age.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53We do like to buy antiques and I think it's got to be heading to 100 years old.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56I'd say if not older, to be honest with you.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Definitely 100, maybe 150 years old. - It could be that, yeah.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02So it's not all about size, is it?

0:08:02 > 0:08:04You keep saying that, David.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Sometimes it's quality.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- It's over to you.- I think so, don't you, Carol?- Do you like it?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13- I do, very much.- Yes.

0:08:13 > 0:08:19And bearing in mind that the experts said we would have profit in it at auction.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think so.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25No, the stallholder is saying we'll have profit at auction!

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Happy?- Yes, please.- OK.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I'm happy too.- Thank you very much.

0:08:31 > 0:08:37Well, isn't that nice? Everybody's happy and the blues have one in the bag.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39What I do like are those scent bottles there.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Yeah, but you're not going to buy them.- Why not?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44- They're too dear for you.- How much?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- They're £225.- Today we have £600 to spend.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Carol, Mandy.- Yes?- Look at these.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54There we go.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Have a look at the other one, Carol. - I will do.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- How old are these?- I would say they're Edwardian in period.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04The hallmark on here - are they 1902?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- 1901.- 1901. Fine.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Look at the cut. Look at the quality.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Is the glass in good condition?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- It feels...- Feels really good. There isn't any chips.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18I've got a chip on this one. A chip on the corner.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Well spotted.- Does that affect the price a lot?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yeah, it does. What a shame.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29Small chip. What do you think? Seriously, what do you think?

0:09:29 > 0:09:30- They're beautiful.- Why?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I like the shininess, I like the glass through the light.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Look at that.- Would you have them on your dressing table?- Yes, I would.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41We've had a look at these scent bottles and we do like them.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46Is there any chance we could tempt you with £150-worth of cash?

0:09:46 > 0:09:50No, but you can tempt me with 160. You can't tempt me for 150.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- I like them. Let's do it. - Let's do it.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Call it a deal? 160.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- 160 it is.- Thank you very much. I appreciate it. They're good things.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04- OK. Great. Well played. - Well done. First one in the bag. - Excellent. Very happy.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Ready for the bingo lingo?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09The beginning - number one.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- I quite like this. - What do you think it is?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- I think it's a nutcracker.- It is a nutcracker. A Black Forest bear.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21- Nice.- "What do you think of the show?"- I like it!- "Rubbish!"

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Speak for yourself, baby!

0:10:25 > 0:10:27Now for something a little weightier.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32WHISTLES

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Oh, hello.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35What do you think about this?

0:10:35 > 0:10:40I'm having a bit of a toss-up about it, to be perfectly frank.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41What is it?

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well, it's a bronzed cased object.

0:10:45 > 0:10:50Now, either this thing has been buried for a good 100 years,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53or it's extremely old.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56How old is extremely old?

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Well, it could be as early

0:10:59 > 0:11:03as 13th or 14th or 15th century.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09So what would you use this for in 1200 or 1300, for example?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12In a marketplace you'd be weighing commodities

0:11:12 > 0:11:17and in those days, the scales that they used were a long steel yard,

0:11:17 > 0:11:19hung in the middle.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23One end of the steel yard would have a weight pendant from it, like this.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27On the other end, you'd have your commodity. What's it worth?

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Well, it could be yours here today for £30.

0:11:31 > 0:11:37What's it worth if it's confirmed to come from the late medieval period?

0:11:37 > 0:11:41I would think a good 400 to £500-worth.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45So, to buy or not to buy?

0:11:45 > 0:11:49These are weighty questions.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Keep looking, ladies.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55What do you think, Carol? What takes your fancy?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Surely it's not that bad, Carol?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Ah, that's a smoker's cabinet.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07- Little drawers for tobacco, tobacco jars, mixing bowls.- OK.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Everything you need... - For the smoker.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Yeah. Surely you smoke a pipe? - Of course I do!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Of course!- In the evening after dinner!

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- I heard, actually. - I've caught her, as well!

0:12:17 > 0:12:22But that's a collector's item.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's a real collector's item, yes.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29Late 19th, early 20th century. Probably Edwardian. 1900-ish.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32And a scribbled out price, which means it's free!

0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yes!- Is it for free?

0:12:34 > 0:12:36What's the trade on that one?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39- 110.- 110. Is that the best trade? - Mmm.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's not a fortune actually. We can bear that in mind.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Carol, where are you going?

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Sorry. I'll come back.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Come on, Carol. Keep up, love!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- That's plate. I'll leave that. - It's a bit plain.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59We need to seriously get something bought, now.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- There's half an hour to go, so we're OK. Don't panic, Mandy.- OK.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Plenty of time.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Some nice beads here, Charles. What are these made of?

0:13:09 > 0:13:11That's nice. They're ivory or bone.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15- This is nice, Mandy.- Charles, Carol's got the one that got away!

0:13:16 > 0:13:20- What's the best price on that? - I can do £40.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24- What do you think?- We could do with one of those today, Charles!

0:13:24 > 0:13:28It's a really good late Victorian-cum-Edwardian parasol.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32This collar here is actually later than the actual handle.

0:13:32 > 0:13:37This might be ten years later or so. Importantly without courting bad luck,

0:13:37 > 0:13:41what we'll do is just, without putting it up,

0:13:41 > 0:13:43see that lovely quality?

0:13:44 > 0:13:48- That's the original fabric on that. - It is, absolutely.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49I like it.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- What do you think, Carol? - I'm leaving this one to you.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57- What was your best price? 35, did you say?- No!

0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I'll do 38. - I thought she said 30!

0:14:00 > 0:14:01- 38.- 3-0, blind 30.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04What are our tactics now, Carol? If we buy this,

0:14:04 > 0:14:07where do we then go? We've got all this money left over.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09We'll have to have our musical box.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14- Carol, on your head. What do you think?- Oh, gosh. Yeah, I'll go for it.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Is it a yes from you?- If Carol says yes, that's good enough for me.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Three yeses!

0:14:20 > 0:14:22- And your best price is?- 38.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25It's a deal. Thank you very much. Job done.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Three yeses and one little duck.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Item number two. Now,

0:14:31 > 0:14:33what has David spotted?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- This is nice.- Yes.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38What have we got on that one?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- I've got 300 on that one. - Really. What is it?

0:14:41 > 0:14:45It's Fratelli Toso, a very good artist in Italy.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Do you want to have a look?- I'm tempted, yes.- Let's have a look.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- It is an expensive piece.- I know. - We've got to have one.- Yes.

0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Oh, that is...- Oh, dear.- That's really pretty.- I daren't touch it.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01It's a Fratelli Toso. I've never had much to do with him,

0:15:01 > 0:15:04but I can spot quality from a few feet away.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Ooh, I don't...- Hold it.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08It's missing a stopper, I think.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Yeah? So it's a decanter, really.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14It's more of a decanter than a vase.

0:15:14 > 0:15:15What shape would the top be?

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- A stopper.- A stopper, yeah. A glass stopper.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21How old would that be, then?

0:15:21 > 0:15:25I think that's probably 1950s.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29- '50s, '60s. It's got a '50s style to it.- Yes, it has.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- A little pinched waist, hour-glass figure.- Yes, that's correct.

0:15:36 > 0:15:41- It's lovely quality.- I like that. - What is... We're talking cash here.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42250.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Death. 250.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46- We've got 20 minutes left.- Well...

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Do you like it?- I like it. - Yes.- I do like it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I think we ought to have a go. - No, stop that! Stop saying that.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Because he won't come down from 250.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57- OK.- Hang on.

0:15:57 > 0:16:02What about 200 or 225 on the spin of a coin?

0:16:02 > 0:16:03You're killing me!

0:16:03 > 0:16:06210 and 225.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Ready?- Yes.- You call for us.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Not that old trick again, David?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- Heads.- She called heads.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Yes!

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Oh. The deal was made.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22That's the winning formula. Whenever I call, I lose!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- What do you think about that? - Brilliant.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Brilliant. Well done.- Thank you. - We're taking a chance, but it's gorgeous.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Don't drop it!

0:16:32 > 0:16:37You got the result you wanted there, Harper. £210. Two in the bag

0:16:37 > 0:16:38for Megan and Carol.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42They say small is beautiful.

0:16:43 > 0:16:44See?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Thank you. What do you think?

0:16:48 > 0:16:52What's that pattern on there? Is it anything particular?

0:16:52 > 0:16:54If I said date, what would you say?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- It looks old.- How old?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I'd say 18-something.- I'd say 1840.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- This goes back to around 1755.- Wow.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04It's a rare thing.

0:17:04 > 0:17:05So...

0:17:05 > 0:17:10Blue and white are made to imitate the finest Chinese porcelain.

0:17:10 > 0:17:15Because at this time, we in England were only making porcelain for five or so years,

0:17:15 > 0:17:19having discovered how the Chinese made it. But to the unassuming, it looks boring.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Yes, it does.- OK.- Very everyday. - They don't like it!

0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Sorry.- Right, OK. After all that lingo. Doesn't work.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29How much is it, by the way?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31395.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- It's not blingy enough. - Not blingy enough?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37With all those rings on your hand, I can imagine why!

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Charming(!)

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Wait a minute.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43What about this one up here?

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- I like the Art Deco vase. - The big vase?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- This one?- Yeah, this one.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Art Deco. Always popular. - That is nice, isn't it?

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- So it's 1930s?- Yes, it is.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Where's it signed? Signed... - I'll show you.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Oh, wow! Yes, it's signed. Look. Muller Freres.- Muller Freres.

0:18:09 > 0:18:15- Is that a really good make? - Right. The two brothers used to work for Galle.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17- You've heard of Galle?- Yes.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Then broke away from him... - And set up on their own.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22- It is beautiful.- And dated.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- It's typical Art Deco.- Very much so.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30It's got 450 on. What would be your very best price?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32No, I'm not going to go up and down.

0:18:32 > 0:18:37I'll tell you my very best and there is no movement. Dead 400.

0:18:39 > 0:18:43- Don't look at me.- That could be tricky for you, Charles! - Don't look at me.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Carol, what do you think? - It leaves you with two pounds!

0:18:46 > 0:18:48The thing is, it's a massive spend.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51It leaves me with two pounds? Is that right? Two pounds?

0:18:51 > 0:18:56- But you're the expert. You can buy something...- Course I can. - ..for two pounds.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03It's got a money spider in. That's a good sign, a money spider in there!

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Carol, was that "Go for it", you whispered?- Yes. Go for it.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Go on, go for it.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11400? It's a deal. We'll have that, thank you.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15That's it? Thanks for inviting me. Two pounds to spend. Good day. Three objects.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Good luck.- Go for it. - Very good luck!- Don't believe it.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Cup of tea, number three.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26Carol and Mandy are done. And with a cool 15 minutes to spare.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33What have you got that stands you very handy, trade, that we might have a chance?

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Something nice and interesting and quirky.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39- You like WMF, don't you? - I do like WMF. What have you got?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- I've got a couple of pieces.- Show me. We've got very few minutes left.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Down here.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Typical Art Nouveau design. - Very Art Nouveau.

0:19:47 > 0:19:53- It's got the stamp, WMF. - WMF. It's a German piece. Art Nouveau manufacturer.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57They made a lot of cutlery. They've been going for donkeys' years.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00Prolific makers, good quality.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04In the Art Nouveau period, 1890 to about 1910, before the First World War,

0:20:04 > 0:20:09they were knocking out this stuff by the bucket-load. Really, really good quality.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12I'm rambling on. We've only got five minutes.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Nothing new there, Harper!

0:20:14 > 0:20:18- What's the trade on that? - 50 for trade.- 50 trade.

0:20:20 > 0:20:21Aw!

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Couldn't be 20?- You're right - it couldn't be!

0:20:25 > 0:20:28I didn't think it could be! Three minutes to go, girls.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33- What about the smoking box? - You want another look at that? Would you mind?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36- I might see you later. - OK.- Cheers. Run!

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Come on. I want to see you run!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Where is it?- It's the other way! - The other way.- The other way?

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Run that direction!

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Come on, you lot, work out where you're going!

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- You're not running!- No!

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Here!- There it is, yes.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Hi, there. It's quite a clever little thing.- Ingenious.- Yes.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03It's got a registration, which is like a patent number.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05It's oak, Edwardian,

0:21:05 > 0:21:08about 1905, 1910. Original handles.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12Nice quirky action on the box when you close the drawer.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- How much was it?- How much was that?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- 110.- Is that the very best you can do?

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- We have two minutes.- I'll give you the scent bottle with it.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Where's the scent bottle? - The one you were looking at.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'll tell you what, you are brilliant.

0:21:27 > 0:21:34- Bless her!- I've got 40 seconds and I'll use all my time. How about if we gave you 80 including the bottle?

0:21:34 > 0:21:39- No. 100 including the scent bottle. - OK, girls. It's over to you.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- You have to make a decision. - Just take it.- Yes.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- £100 for the two.- OK.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- You're a dreamboat. Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Thank you.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55With seconds to spare, Megan and Carol are done.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Right. That's it for our teams.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01They stop shopping in the luxury of that marquee.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Let's have a gander at what the red team bought.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08They all smelt success

0:22:08 > 0:22:11in a pair of cut-glass and silver bottles.

0:22:12 > 0:22:16Charles found them a silver-handled parasol for £38.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21And Mandy insisted they buy the Art Deco glass vase

0:22:21 > 0:22:23for a cool 400.

0:22:23 > 0:22:24Oh, dear!

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- That's it. We've spent out.- We have.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30That's a really good call, isn't it?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32In bingo, what do you call that?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Bingo?- I could say that's a full house!

0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Quite right.- Is that what you say? - Full house, yes.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41I think it's bingo cos you've got how much to spend? A pound?

0:22:41 > 0:22:44On its own, Tim. Number two. Two pounds.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Two pounds. Where's the two pounds? Oh, you've got one each!

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Two little ducks. - Was that good fun or not?

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- It was.- What do you call them? Two little ducks?

0:22:53 > 0:22:56One little duck - number two.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58One little duck is number two.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Is that what it is? Shows I don't go to bingo much!

0:23:01 > 0:23:04From one little duck to one big duck.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08I don't know what you're going to do, but very good luck!

0:23:08 > 0:23:12Good fun. Now, let's remind ourselves what the blues bought.

0:23:14 > 0:23:17Carol fell in love with the miniature bone dominoes.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23They all liked the shape of the 1950s Fratelli Toso vase.

0:23:24 > 0:23:28And in the dying minutes, they agreed upon the oak smoker's cabinet

0:23:28 > 0:23:31and glass scent bottle for £100.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Well done! Right in the dying seconds. That's what I like to see.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42Why does he always look so pleased with himself after the shopping?

0:23:42 > 0:23:47- Because he's got all the money left, that's why.- I'll give him the leftover lolly in a moment.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49How good is this double-up day?

0:23:49 > 0:23:54You get your £600, you get a first-rate man with you. Yes?

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Yes.- Yes, we do. - And then there's David.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Too nice. I knew you were just being too nice!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02No, it was only momentary, that.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Seriously, had a good time? - We had a great time.

0:24:05 > 0:24:11You took it right to the wire, which is really good. How much did you spend overall?

0:24:11 > 0:24:12- £345.- 345.- Yes, we did.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15£345. That's absolutely super.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Can I have £255 of leftover lolly? - Yes, you can.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22That's exactly what I'm looking for. Things are well-organised on this show!

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Over it goes to you, Davido. That's a lot of money.

0:24:25 > 0:24:28I haven't held that amount of money for a long time.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Good luck, girls. And David. Meanwhile, we're going to shove off to Sheffield.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41The canny cutlers, platers and silversmiths of Sheffield

0:24:41 > 0:24:46were always on the lookout for the very brightest of design talent.

0:24:56 > 0:24:59The most successful of these designers

0:24:59 > 0:25:01finished up as household names.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Their objects became iconic

0:25:04 > 0:25:08and if they were really good, they'd find their pieces on display today

0:25:08 > 0:25:11in the Sheffield Millennium Galleries.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15The leading industrial designer of the 19th century

0:25:15 > 0:25:18was, without doubt, Dr Christopher Dresser.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20The items on this side of the table

0:25:20 > 0:25:24are from designs attributed to him.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27What's interesting about Christopher Dresser

0:25:27 > 0:25:30is that he became an industrial designer.

0:25:30 > 0:25:35He'd think of a form without ornamentation

0:25:35 > 0:25:40that would be relatively simple to produce by industry.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43It's all summed up, really, in this little teapot.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45Look how unfussy these feet are,

0:25:45 > 0:25:48the handle and spout and so forth.

0:25:48 > 0:25:55He's done that so it would be simple to produce in a mechanical and industrial sense.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59He's thinking about the man who has to make the teapot.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Will it go into mass production?

0:26:02 > 0:26:06In this model, we've got an example of a sphere

0:26:06 > 0:26:09which has been spun on a steam-driven lathe.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Once upon a time, this was a flat piece of metal.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14It whizzed around on the lathe,

0:26:14 > 0:26:18a chuck is introduced against that lathe.

0:26:18 > 0:26:24The pressure and movement of the metal enables it to move and curl, if you like.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27You get to this moment in time and stop spinning it.

0:26:27 > 0:26:32You remove the chuck and there you've got, effectively, the body of the teapot.

0:26:32 > 0:26:37If you look at the feet, that are sweated on to the sides of the sphere,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39nothing could be more simple.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43It's almost like a golf tee-type peg.

0:26:43 > 0:26:49Then look at the other component parts, the cover, the knob and the handle.

0:26:49 > 0:26:54They're angular, plain, very stylish and simple to make.

0:26:54 > 0:27:00And they tick all the right boxes when it comes to Victorian industrial design.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Having set up a machine that can easily do this once,

0:27:03 > 0:27:07it's perfectly possible for the machine to do it 100,000 times.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11This coffee and tea service is also designed by Dresser.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's in electro-plate.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18But if you look at the design, it's a simple outline

0:27:18 > 0:27:21into which Dresser has introduced some decoration,

0:27:21 > 0:27:24but it's decoration that's mechanically produced.

0:27:39 > 0:27:44If we scroll forward to the second half of the 20th century,

0:27:44 > 0:27:47we come to another design classic,

0:27:47 > 0:27:50produced by a Sheffield designer, David Mellor.

0:27:50 > 0:27:55And this tea set, which, when you look at it, is not so different

0:27:55 > 0:27:57from the Dresser tea set,

0:27:57 > 0:28:02was produced by him in 1958. This range of wares is called Pride.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05It, too, has little ornamentation.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Scrolling forward to the end of the 20th century,

0:28:08 > 0:28:13Mellor comes up with his range of polished stainless steel cutlery

0:28:13 > 0:28:15which is called City.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18And you can't get more brand-spanking-new

0:28:18 > 0:28:22and clean and simple a design than that.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25The big question is today, of course,

0:28:25 > 0:28:28are our teams' reputations going to be tarnished at all,

0:28:28 > 0:28:30over at the auction?

0:28:33 > 0:28:37We've pitched up at Mellors and Kirk saleroom in Nottingham.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42And I just can't wait to find out what kind of bonus buy Carlos has found with next to no cash!

0:28:45 > 0:28:48So, Mandy and Carol, this is the exciting moment.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51You've left Charles Hanson with two pounds! We give you 600

0:28:51 > 0:28:56and you spent 598. Are you taking the mickey or what?

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Well...- Well...- We are ladies. We like to shop. So...

0:28:59 > 0:29:02- we never come back with any money. - No.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04For two pounds, I looked long and hard.

0:29:04 > 0:29:08I went all round the fair two or three times and finally...

0:29:08 > 0:29:10found this little man.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Oh.- Look at him.- He's all right!

0:29:13 > 0:29:16- A very sweet...- 1970s.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Possibly.- No, I like it.- Perhaps Italian. Isn't he nice?- I do. I do.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24A penguin with all the feel of a cold, Arctic air.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Look at the two penguins within on this almost iceberg.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Isn't it sweet?- Yes. - Blown. Italian. I don't know.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34- Would you give it mantelpiece room? - Yes, I would.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37And for two pounds, I think that's a bargain.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Importantly, look at the condition. It's in good condition.- It's good.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43A paperweight.

0:29:43 > 0:29:48Exactly. Paperweight, ornamental. And surely for two pounds...

0:29:48 > 0:29:49I like it. I do, honestly.

0:29:49 > 0:29:56It's come out of a box. It's not antique. And at two pounds, I think that's pretty good going.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Was it a box of crackers it came out of?- Could be.

0:29:59 > 0:30:03But you only gave him two pounds so you can't expect a work of art.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06Is it going to make four pounds? Six pounds...

0:30:06 > 0:30:11I'll say this is a guaranteed auction estimate at least of ten to £15.

0:30:11 > 0:30:14With that in mind, OK, it might only make eight.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18But I'm sure, I'm positive, it's going to make at least £15.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I think it's a winner. I think it's a winner.- I do.

0:30:21 > 0:30:27Good, good. You've got two enchanted ladies here, Charles, which is a considerable achievement!

0:30:27 > 0:30:32For the audience at home, let's find out now what the auctioneer thinks of the little penguin.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37I'm ashamed showing you this, cos Charles only had two pounds left over.

0:30:37 > 0:30:42He went out and spent his two pounds and got two decapitated cormorants

0:30:42 > 0:30:44frozen in glass.

0:30:44 > 0:30:49But still it's a paperweight and it's cased glass.

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Two pounds is nothing, is it?

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- I think he'll get 20 or £30 for that.- Do you really?

0:30:54 > 0:30:55They'll be overjoyed with that.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57First up for Mandy and Carol,

0:30:57 > 0:31:02- they've got this pair of cut-glass scent or cologne bottles.- Yes.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Very typical of their period.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Silver-mounted, Edwardian.

0:31:06 > 0:31:11Would they have come in a fitted set with a whole lot more of this, do you think?

0:31:11 > 0:31:15They'd come with a dressing table set - tray, brushes and so forth,

0:31:15 > 0:31:17rather than being in a fitted case.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19They've lost their friends.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22But we've got them together today. What will they make?

0:31:22 > 0:31:27They're in reasonable condition, a little dented. Perhaps 80 to £100.

0:31:27 > 0:31:28They paid 160.

0:31:28 > 0:31:34- Next up is the parasol.- Yes. They're difficult things to display. What do you do with them?

0:31:34 > 0:31:39You can't open them. Or if you do, very often they're so frayed

0:31:39 > 0:31:42- and threadbare they'll fall apart. - The silks perish.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44So they are uncommercial.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48- How much?- 30 quid.- OK, fine. They paid 38. No sweat about that.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53Now, the big swell round here is this baby on the end.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Yes.- This daffodil/primrose yellow

0:31:57 > 0:31:59opaque glass.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02Um, I suppose it's a vase, isn't it?

0:32:02 > 0:32:07It is a vase, yes. It's very distinctive and there's no ignoring it.

0:32:07 > 0:32:12It's the sort of thing you respond to. You either love it or loathe it.

0:32:12 > 0:32:18- Yes.- Its sale value is going to be limited because of its rather poor quality of manufacture.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22- So what might it bring? - There's a limited market for it.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25It'll make £100. 150, maybe.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Really?- Hmm.- They paid 400.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30- Goodness! That's brave.- Anyway,

0:32:30 > 0:32:32that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Megan and Carol, their first item is a miniature dominoes set.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39These Victorian games, once so popular,

0:32:39 > 0:32:43- are now completely lost at auction. They don't sell.- Oh, dear.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46They paid £35. Will they get any of it back?

0:32:46 > 0:32:50- Maybe ten.- Ten to £20. - Yes.- OK. Fine.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55What about this Venetian glass waisted decanter?

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Well, that has one great attraction

0:32:58 > 0:33:01in as much as it dates from the 1950s.

0:33:01 > 0:33:06It's quite... Whether it's going to make more than £100, I don't know.

0:33:06 > 0:33:08They paid 210.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10They paid fully the retail price for it.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13Their last item is a stupid, strange combo

0:33:13 > 0:33:18of an Edwardian smoker's cabinet and an atomiser.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21It's quite well made, though. Edwardian, I would have thought.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24It has a registration number on the drawer.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28We're standing by them for a not particularly dazzling estimate.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- What do you think?- 60 to £80. - That's not bad. They paid 100.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34It's this decanter that's going to let them down a bit.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38So they'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it now.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Now, Carol and Megan. You spent £345.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46You gave David Harper £255,

0:33:46 > 0:33:48a small fortune for anybody.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- What did you spend it on, David? - I'm quite excited about this.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54This is a proper antique,

0:33:54 > 0:33:57something I'd really get excited about buying.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Oh, I like that.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Isn't that lovely?- What do you think?- Yeah.- It's super.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06- You know what it is?- Of course. - It's a sampler.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10Samplers are always really highly collected.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14There's an awful lot of people out there who want to buy these things.

0:34:14 > 0:34:20We know the girl's name. We don't know her age - probably early teens.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23A sampler is effectively a sample of your work,

0:34:23 > 0:34:25a sample of your skill in needlework.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Beautiful.- It's a lovely thing. - Yes.- A lovely thing.

0:34:28 > 0:34:33- How much?- Do you like it, Carol? - Yes, I do.- Something that appeals? - Yes, it is.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35- Yes.- I do like that.- Yes.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39- What about you, Megan? - It's really beautiful. - Depends on the price.- Yes.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Well, this is it. This is where I could fall down.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44It wasn't the bargain of a lifetime.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46It took me an hour to buy it.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- OK.- I spent £250 on it.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Nearly the full wodge. - I had a fiver left.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56- I didn't have much left to work with.- OK.

0:34:56 > 0:35:01- What do you think it might bring? - I think on a good day it might do £400.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04On a bad day, I might lose 100.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09You don't decide now. Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's sampler.

0:35:10 > 0:35:14- So, Nigel, as if by magic, there's your sampler.- Indeed.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18- That's David Harper's bonus buy. - I like this sampler.

0:35:18 > 0:35:23- What do you think it's worth, Nigel? - Perhaps 200 to £300.- Really?- Mmm.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27David Harper's going to be delighted. He paid £250.

0:35:27 > 0:35:32- That was a very fair price. - Right in the middle. Retail, 250 is a good number?- It is.

0:35:32 > 0:35:37Super. Well, all will be decided in the auction in just a moment.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Thanks very much, Nigel. - Thank you.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Mandy and Carol. How are you feeling, kids?

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Confident.- Very confident.- Are you?

0:35:51 > 0:35:55- Got some good items.- Did you have a good breakfast today?- Oh, yes.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Everything settled down? You're not nervy?- Definitely not.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02It's a bit like bingo, this. You just don't know what will happen.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05- No.- You don't know what numbers will come out of the hat.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09- It's exciting. Charles hasn't got the faintest idea, nor have I.- No.

0:36:09 > 0:36:12First up, your scent bottles.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14Lot 71.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17£40 for them? 40 I'm bid. And five.

0:36:17 > 0:36:1950 anywhere? 50. Five. 60.

0:36:19 > 0:36:22And five? 65, madam.

0:36:22 > 0:36:2370.

0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Come on.- 75 with me. 80. 85.

0:36:27 > 0:36:3090. £90 then, in the room. We sell.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32At £90.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35£90. Sorry about that, lads.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38You are under 70 on that. Minus £70.

0:36:38 > 0:36:4372 is a George V silver-mounted parasol.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45£20 for it? 20.

0:36:45 > 0:36:46£10.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50- It's sunny out. You need one! - And I'm bid £10. 15 for it?

0:36:50 > 0:36:5215 do I see?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54£10. All done. 10 only.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58- I don't believe it. - £10. That is minus £28.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Not looking good.- That was not an encouraging shout, I'm afraid.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Lot 73 is the Muller Freres primrose yellow glass vase.

0:37:06 > 0:37:11At £80 I am bid on commission for this lot. £80. 85. 90.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Five for it? 95.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16100 and ten. 120. 130.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19140. 150.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20160. 170.

0:37:20 > 0:37:26180. At 180 on my left and selling at £180.

0:37:27 > 0:37:31Bad luck. 180. You are minus £220 on that.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34OK. We're £318 down the toileto.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Are you going with the penguins? - Where there's a will, there's a way.

0:37:38 > 0:37:43We've got faith in the penguin. The penguin can do it for us. Is it worth £318, Charles?

0:37:45 > 0:37:49- I think it'll do very well.- But not that well!- We'll slowly get away.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52- I really hope it does well. - The £18 would be good.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56- We're going with the penguin? - We want to go with it.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58A seriously risky object, this. Two pounds!

0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Here it comes.- Lot 78.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06The glass penguin embedded paperweight.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Lot 78. £20 for it?

0:38:09 > 0:38:12Ten to get on. Anybody want it? £10.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14£5. Five I'm bid.

0:38:14 > 0:38:15£5 only.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18At £5. All done?

0:38:18 > 0:38:22- That's a £3 profit. Well done. - It was worth much more than that.

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- I'm sure.- I don't think so, actually.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27He's done very well to sell it for £5.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Very lucky to get an offer at all in this saleroom.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33Three pounds off that. You are minus 315.

0:38:33 > 0:38:36Which is a pretty spectacular losing score.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39But you never know. It could be a winning score.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Or maybe not.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52Now, Megan and Carol. Do you know how the reds got on?

0:38:52 > 0:38:53BOTH: No.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56- They're not giving anything away. - Right. Good.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00Let's find out where you're going to be. Your first lot is coming up.

0:39:00 > 0:39:04Here come the miniature dominoes. And very lovely they are, too.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Lot 94. £20 for them?

0:39:07 > 0:39:1020? £10?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13- £5.- Come on!- Five I'm bid. At five.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Ten. 15? 15.

0:39:16 > 0:39:1820? 20, sir?

0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Yes!- No? £15.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23In the second row we sell at £15.

0:39:23 > 0:39:26£15. Sorry, girls. That's minus 20.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30Lot 95 is the Fratelli Toso

0:39:30 > 0:39:34aventurine and filigrana glass decanter.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37£30 for this, please. 1950s in date.

0:39:37 > 0:39:3930? 30 I'm bid. At £30.

0:39:39 > 0:39:4130. Five anywhere? Five. 40.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Five. 50? £45.

0:39:43 > 0:39:4650. Five. 60. 65.

0:39:46 > 0:39:4870. 75.

0:39:48 > 0:39:5080. 85.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53- 90.- Yes.- 95? £95.

0:39:53 > 0:39:55100? No? At 95.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58In the doorway. Selling at £95.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02That is minus £115 on that.

0:40:02 > 0:40:07Not looking good. Already minus £135.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11Lot 96, the Edwardian brass-mounted oak smoker's cabinet,

0:40:11 > 0:40:15together with a scent bottle. £50 I am bid for this. 50.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Five for it anywhere?

0:40:17 > 0:40:1855. 60.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Yes, go on!- 65. 70.- Go on!

0:40:21 > 0:40:2380. 85.

0:40:23 > 0:40:2590. Five.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28- 100. And ten?- Yes, yes, yes! - All done?

0:40:28 > 0:40:30£100.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33£100. It wiped its face. Well done, Dave.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35£100. No profit, no loss.

0:40:35 > 0:40:40No shame, no gain. So you are, girls, minus £135.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44- That's really bad.- Now, a really difficult decision.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46I know it's a difficult decision.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Are you going to go with the 250 punt?- Are we gamblers?

0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Yeah.- Yes. Without a doubt.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53- I think so.- You're gamblers?- Yes.

0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Really?- Yes.- OK. Well, you watched her lips.

0:40:57 > 0:41:01101. Early Victorian linen sampler.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03Dated 1846.

0:41:03 > 0:41:08Half a dozen commission bids have been left on this lot.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10£80 I have.

0:41:10 > 0:41:11At 80. Five anywhere? Five.

0:41:11 > 0:41:1490. Five. Five. 100 and ten.

0:41:14 > 0:41:18- 110. 120 with me.- Yes. - 130. 140. 150.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22- 160. 170. At 160 the bid is still with me.- Come on!

0:41:22 > 0:41:25170. 180. 190. 200.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27And 20. I'm out.

0:41:27 > 0:41:29£220.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Dear, oh, dear.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36So close, David. So close!

0:41:36 > 0:41:39But not quite close enough. It's only £30.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43Minus 30. You are minus 165.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Um, the tension is something else.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49You can cut that with a knife.

0:41:49 > 0:41:53Anyway, well done. It didn't quite work, but very, very close.

0:41:53 > 0:41:57Minus 165 could be a winning score. Don't say a thing to the reds.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59All will be revealed in a moment.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Well, it's double-up day.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Double the happiness, double the joy.

0:42:08 > 0:42:10Double the losses.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15- Have you been chatting, you lot? - No.- No.- Good.

0:42:15 > 0:42:21So you have no idea of the scale of the disaster that has befallen one of the teams.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25And I'm afraid that the team that is running up by a long chalk is reds.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Oh, no!

0:42:29 > 0:42:32- I'd stick to the bingo, if I were you!- I think I will.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35A magnificent team, though. Thank you.

0:42:35 > 0:42:40The blues have done marginally better by only losing £165.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42It's remarkable!

0:42:42 > 0:42:45There's no great accolade there, either, 165.

0:42:45 > 0:42:49But nevertheless, you are well and truly the winners today.

0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting! Yes?- Yes!

0:42:52 > 0:42:53Gosh!
