0:00:02 > 0:00:05They do say that you can choose your friends but not your family.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08Well, that's not true today.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11'We've got a mother who chose her daughter. Which is which?

0:00:11 > 0:00:14'And a father who chose his son.'

0:00:14 > 0:00:17So let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:39 > 0:00:45The Ardingly Antiques and Collectors Fair is absolutely huge,

0:00:45 > 0:00:48so our teams are going to have to put their skates on.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Fortunately for me, I've got one of these babies. Bye!

0:00:53 > 0:00:57'On today's show, the Red Team keep Mark happy.'

0:00:57 > 0:00:59- I'll take all the blame.- OK.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02I love you! I love that you take all the blame!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05'Blue Team worry Catherine.'

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Do you really like that? Or are you just getting a bit desperate?

0:01:11 > 0:01:13'And it's nerves all round at the auction.'

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Oh, dear, it's looking gloomy.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Please!- 'But all that's to come. First, let's meet our teams.'

0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Welcome, everyone.- ALL: Hello! - Lovely to see you.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, Zozo, you're here with your mum and you're very, very close.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32- Yes, we do everything together. We can read each other's minds.- Almost.

0:01:32 > 0:01:38- Almost.- Well, you're like two peas in a pod, I have to say. You love amateur dramatics.- Yes.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43- Thus, you're on Bargain Hunt, the biggest screen in the world for am-dram.- Yes.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45What sort of roles do you like to play?

0:01:45 > 0:01:49I've done a variety of roles. Lots of musicals.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53I've been a member of my local pop choir, which my mum helped set up,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57and we've done concerts together on stages with 700-odd people.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Is that very nerve-racking? - Extremely.- I bet it is.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05What tactics will you two chickens be up to today?

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Trying to get something unusual. - And listen to our expert.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13- Yeah.- Good. Thank you very much for joining us. Now, boys.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18You've got all sorts of supernatural powers on your side today, haven't you?

0:02:18 > 0:02:23Well, I hope so. I mean, I'm actually rector of Godalming, so I'm a Church of England vicar.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- Ah.- And I'm hoping for a bit of divine inspiration today. - Fingers crossed.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Well, it will be interesting to see whether any of this stuff around you

0:02:31 > 0:02:35will bring you luck today, because you're keen on the supernatural, too.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- I've had one or two strange experiences.- Like what?

0:02:38 > 0:02:45On one occasion, literally, a sound of the organ in my parish church back in the Midlands,

0:02:45 > 0:02:50years ago, and when trying to detect who was playing that organ, couldn't find anyone at all.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54That is spooky, isn't it? Luke, you have a pretty interesting job, too.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59I do. It's very different from my dad. I am a rock and pop drummer. I'm a musician.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02What attracted you to the drums?

0:03:02 > 0:03:06From a very early age, I was always interested in drumming.

0:03:06 > 0:03:12- One of my earliest memories is playing on my cousin's drum kit. I was about three.- Hammering away.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16So the day that a letter came home from my school to my parents saying,

0:03:16 > 0:03:21"Does your son or daughter want to learn how to play the drums?" I was on it straightaway.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24What are your tactics today?

0:03:24 > 0:03:27I've always had the tactic that if you don't spend too much,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- you can't lose too much.- Oh. - However...- Yes?

0:03:30 > 0:03:36- You don't often get given £300 to go and spend at your leisure, so we'll probably...- Blow the lot?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- He's always expecting money from me, though! - THEY LAUGH

0:03:40 > 0:03:46I'm quite interested in something of a more spiritual and enlightening nature,

0:03:46 > 0:03:52- so I'm looking for something... - That's going to make a profit. - Which will also make a profit!

0:03:52 > 0:03:57- OK, very good luck. Now the money moment. You get £300 apiece. There it is.- Thank you.

0:03:57 > 0:04:03You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go! Very, very, very good luck.

0:04:03 > 0:04:04Ooh, lordy.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08'Playing happy families with our teams today

0:04:08 > 0:04:11'we have Mark Stacey

0:04:11 > 0:04:14'and Catherine Southon.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19- 'And the rules.' - The wackier, the better.

0:04:19 > 0:04:24'One hour to find three items and a total of £300 to spend.'

0:04:26 > 0:04:28So what are we looking for?

0:04:28 > 0:04:29Jewellery.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32A kind of story or it's got an aura.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Ornamental stuff, ceramics. - Something a little bit quirky.

0:04:36 > 0:04:43- But no Toby jugs.- No Toby jugs? So even if I find a bargain Toby jug... - No, no, no.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47OK, let's go bargain hunting.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50'Oi, Southon! That's my line!'

0:04:50 > 0:04:53How much are you?

0:04:53 > 0:04:57- It's a good, purposeful stride. - Was it?- Yes.- On a mission.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01That's fun, isn't it? It's an inkwell in the form of a melon.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03- The bowl's quite interesting.- Yes.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Shall we move along? THEY LAUGH

0:05:08 > 0:05:12'Well, there's plenty here to excite Mervyn.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19'But it's Luke who's been grabbed by the ecclesiasticals.'

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Oh, wow! Can I have a look at this? - Absolutely.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Oh, my goodness. Luke, that's one for you.- One for you.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- And one for you. - And something for me. Indeed.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Yes. The trouble is, it's a bit damaged, isn't it, really,

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- which is suppose is not unusual. - Very damaged. The paint's flaking off.- Yeah.

0:05:39 > 0:05:44I mean, is there a market for this kind of thing, other than people like me?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Not a great market, I fear. - Ohh. All right.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50What about the biscuit tin? I just noticed that.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I like that. - That's probably out of our budget.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Is it worth asking the price of that? - 100.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Is it Huntley and Palmer?- Yeah.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03The tops you have to watch on those. They get very discoloured on the top.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Quite good condition. - Yeah. It's quite nice.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- And that's not too bad. - You can still read... - You can still read the titles.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13That's what I need. Self help. SHE LAUGHS

0:06:14 > 0:06:19- It's quite quirky, isn't it? - That's in quite good condition.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- How old is it?- I would've thought that's 1910 or something.

0:06:23 > 0:06:28- It's 1905, 1910.- Well, you wanted something quirky and you don't get much quirkier than this.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31What's your ab-ab-absolute best on that?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35- I can't go lower than 100. A few years ago, those tins were making 200 quid.- Yeah.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40I have to say, I haven't seen one in a saleroom for quite a while.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43The other thing you have to be careful of is the condition.

0:06:43 > 0:06:50It's a bit worn on this side. But this side is very good and the front... Could we say 95?

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- 95, please. - No, honestly, I think 100 is fine.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- OK.- OK.- Well, you both like it, don't you?- Yes, we both like it.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00And if it makes a huge profit, I'll take the biscuit.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03THEY LAUGH

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Goodness me.- What do you think?

0:07:08 > 0:07:13- I think put it down, that's what I think.- OK.- 'Spoilsport!'

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Is it old?- Yeah, it's getting on for 100 years old.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Bent, as well.- I beg your pardon! THEY LAUGH

0:07:20 > 0:07:26You don't strike me as compact type men, men that you see with a compact.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Luke uses it but he doesn't tell anyone. He keeps it silent.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- That's pretty.- Is that a tea caddy? - It is a tea caddy, yes.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39It's a single tea caddy and it's got these nice little roundels.

0:07:39 > 0:07:45This mahogany would've been quite red and this would've been bright green and this would've been bright gold.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Bit of bling. It's probably out of our budget.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- 190.- Ohh. It's a lovely object. You're picking quality, girls,

0:07:52 > 0:07:57But I don't think we can afford it, really, because we've spent 100. So we'll put that down.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01But I have just noticed this. Isn't he lovely?

0:08:01 > 0:08:08A sleeping pig. It's got something on here which I can't quite read.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11But I've seen this exact model carved in ivory

0:08:11 > 0:08:14- and they make over £1,000.- Oh, right.

0:08:14 > 0:08:20But I'm afraid he's not for us, he's a bit damaged. It's a shame because I like that.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- It's not easy, this, is it?- No.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- You're kind of spoilt for choice but then...- This is it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Look at these glass eyes.- Ohh!

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Once I sold 2,000 of them for £17,500.

0:08:40 > 0:08:45- Really?- Yeah. And I think it was an artist that bought them. Excuse me.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Are these your glass eyes? - Aye.- Aye, aye!

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- How much are they?- 500.- Right.

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- That's quite unusual. - This is a little inkwell, isn't it?

0:08:57 > 0:09:02It's quite nice detailing, isn't it? Quite nice quality detailing there.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Do you think it's quite old? - I think, looking at the style of it,

0:09:06 > 0:09:11it's from that sort of aesthetic period, so around about 1870, something like this.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Would you say that?- Yeah, I would think so.- I like the blue.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18- You like the blue against the brass. - It offsets against the gold quite well.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20- It's very decorative. - I really like it.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Do you really like it?- I do. - You like it, as well?

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Do they sell quite well? - It really does depend. It's 155.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I think, if I was estimating on that at auction,

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I would've probably said

0:09:32 > 0:09:38around about the 80 to 120 mark, maybe 100 to 150.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- I would certainly like to see that reduced if we can.- Definitely.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- What's your best price on that?- 125.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- 120 and I'll give you a kiss? - No, no, no.- No?

0:09:48 > 0:09:53- From both of us? All three of us? - Steady on! Ooh!

0:09:53 > 0:09:55I don't think you're going to get there.

0:09:55 > 0:10:01- You know, it's right near the bone. - It think it's a good quality object so I think it's worth a punt.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Shake his hand. - Definitely. Thank you!- Thank you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:09- And you've missed out on the kiss. THEY LAUGH - 'Not from you, surely.'

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Coming up to half an hour and we haven't bought a single item.- OK.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- No pressure.- No pressure.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23We want that something special. Maybe we're looking too hard. I don't know.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What's that underneath?- Burlington.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Is it quirky enough for you? Interesting enough?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- 75 you've got to spend.- Yes.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- But you've got to leave me a little something.- We will, we promise.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45I'm not sure I believe you. Come on. We've got to get a third item.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49'So while the Reds casually browse

0:10:49 > 0:10:55- 'and the Blues frantically search...' - Throw yourself into the stalls.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57'..I've got my eyes on the sky.'

0:11:00 > 0:11:03I want you to imagine that you're a pigeon.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08And there's one thing that pigeons like to do when they're hungry, to find a friend.

0:11:08 > 0:11:13And if they could see another pigeon to land close to to have a chat,

0:11:13 > 0:11:15that's exactly what they do.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Now, we've got our Freda, the decoy pigeon,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22sitting beside me, looking very seductive.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25And any friendly pigeon going by would think,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29"There's a Freda down there, I'm going to land and be sociable."

0:11:29 > 0:11:32Marvellous thing, nature, isn't it?

0:11:32 > 0:11:37Anyway, the idea with these decoys is that you set them out in the field

0:11:37 > 0:11:42and the hunter waits for the real birds to come down to the decoy

0:11:42 > 0:11:45and then he goes "bang, bang" and, hey presto, there's supper.

0:11:45 > 0:11:51But our Freda has got one particularly attractive feature.

0:11:51 > 0:11:57And that is that she is fitted with an electric motor up her bottom.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00This electric motor is stamped Bassett-Lowke

0:12:00 > 0:12:06and Bassett-Lowke, in the 1930s, made electric motors for toy steam trains.

0:12:07 > 0:12:14The hunter would be set up behind that hedge, he'd have a long piece of wire coming from our Freda

0:12:14 > 0:12:20and a battery behind the hedge, and he'd simply put the two terminals together and look what happens!

0:12:21 > 0:12:23- HE LAUGHS - Look at that!

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Freda's going absolutely bonkers!

0:12:28 > 0:12:33So the pigeon coming out of the sky, he sees this little lot going on on the ground

0:12:33 > 0:12:36and he thinks, "Bingo! I'm in here!"

0:12:36 > 0:12:40So this is like a top-of-the-range example

0:12:40 > 0:12:43of pigeon lure-dom.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46The problem was that it never took off.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49They were expensive, the batteries ran down quickly

0:12:49 > 0:12:55and quite frankly, the static decoy set out in the field worked almost as well.

0:12:55 > 0:13:02And as a result, this type of motorised automaton decoy is extremely rare.

0:13:02 > 0:13:07So what's it worth? In a sporting gun sale along with the accessories,

0:13:07 > 0:13:10I think the estimate would be £300 to £500.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15And, wow, it could soar, I reckon, to as much as 800.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Coo! Coo-coo!

0:13:21 > 0:13:25'Look. Pigeons everywhere.'

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Cos they're quite realistic, those little silver pigeons.- Quite unusual.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- So it's cheap, then?- It's 220.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- THEY LAUGH - We're moving.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Now, I'm interested in this one,

0:13:38 > 0:13:43- because I could preach, I could put that on my pulpit.... - There's no sand.- Exactly!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- So I could have as long as I wanted! - That's very good, yes.- Please, no!

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Anything here?- No.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53THEY LAUGH

0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Very Indiana Jones.- I like that. - I like that.- 'Finally!'

0:13:56 > 0:14:01Yes, a thread that's been woven into all these different shapes, it's called filigree work.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05- It's just really nice. And it's got these semi-precious stones on it. - Yes.

0:14:05 > 0:14:10And it's all on brass. So it's just like a jewellery casket.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- That's a heck of a price you've got on that.- I know.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17- You've got 165 on this. What can you do?- 145.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21I think that's still a bit... To me, it's more 100, 120.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23- Can you come down a bit more?- 135?

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- 130? 120?- OK, 130. That is it.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31- Ah.- What do you think?

0:14:31 > 0:14:35- I don't know.- You won't see another on the fair like that.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37All I can say to you is it is very unusual.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Shall we go for it, then? - Let's go for it! Let's do this!

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- You sure?- Yes.- You said you wanted to let your hair down.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Yes!- And spend lots. - Why not?- Go for it.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51'Good decision, Blues. And you're finally out of the gates.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56'But watch out. Yvonne and Zozo are nearing the finish.'

0:14:56 > 0:15:01- This caught my eye.- Oh, right.- 1873.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Lovely colour, isn't it? - Mm. Matches our inkwell.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Yes, I suppose it does.

0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Do these sell well?- Well, they are a limited market, I have to say.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- But I just think it's a lovely, big harvest mug.- I like that.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17And anything with a name and a title on it is...

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Chip on there. - Yes. I don't know if that is a chip.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Feel it. It's been glazed, I think. - Yes.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- But it has to be cheap. - Yeah.- To leave you money.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- I'm wondering where the dealer is. He's disappeared. Is he behind you? - Yep.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Let's go and ask him. - You go and ask him.- Excuse me.

0:15:39 > 0:15:4078.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Do you really like that? Or are you just getting...- It's just different.

0:15:45 > 0:15:50Are you just getting a bit desperate? THEY LAUGH

0:15:50 > 0:15:54I'm getting a bit nervous. There's so much here, it's overwhelming.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58But in terms of what to actually get which I'm interested in,

0:15:58 > 0:16:01but also we think will sell, that's the problem.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04It's 120. Would someone have that?

0:16:04 > 0:16:10- I don't think, in the fine arts sale. - In the fine arts, it's not... - A shower tap! Aghh!

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- What did he say?- He said 65.

0:16:14 > 0:16:1665.

0:16:16 > 0:16:22- My gut feeling is, I'd want it for about 50.- Yeah, definitely.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- I'd pay 50 for it, I wouldn't pay 65.- Do you want to offer him 50?

0:16:25 > 0:16:30- As a one-off offer.- Yes. - And if not, we'll carry on looking.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Cos we are getting a little bit concerned on time.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38- 'Really? You've got ages left!' - Would you take 50 for it?

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Er, I'd take 55.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- It would have to be 50, really. - Give us your money!- 50 cash.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- You're happy with it for 50?- Yeah. - Happy?- Yeah, definitely.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51- You won't shout at me at the saleroom? "I didn't want that!" - No, no.- We'll take all the blame.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55I love you! I love that you take all the blame!

0:16:55 > 0:17:00'Right, girls, that's you all sewn up. Blues? Are you feeling the heat?'

0:17:05 > 0:17:09A thermometer. That's actually quite nice.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12It is. It's also 195.

0:17:12 > 0:17:16That's a very heavy price. What can you do on that?

0:17:16 > 0:17:17170.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22- I think if we could do it for 130. - I knew you'd say that. No way.

0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Can you come down a bit more? - We're running out of money, you see? - 160 and that would be it.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Where's Mervyn? Mervyn.- Oh, wow. - What do you think about that?

0:17:32 > 0:17:37- I like that.- I'd say that's probably early 19th century.- Oh, really?

0:17:37 > 0:17:43- And it's ivory. - I mean, I remember, once upon a time, these making £300 to £400.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49- But...- We like that. - ..in more of a specialist sale. - Couldn't have been too long ago.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52You say the nicest things!

0:17:52 > 0:17:56- I don't know. What do you think? - We've only got 170 left.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- How much have we got left? - 170, isn't it?

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- Have we really? - Yeah, it will be.- Yeah. - Your maths is better than mine.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Oh, my word! I'm picking up too expensive things.- Mm.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10We've still got to buy another object.

0:18:10 > 0:18:14- If we bought that...- If you could do 150, that'd help us out so much. - All right, 150.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Ohh!- You're good! He's good!

0:18:18 > 0:18:23- You go first.- 'So are the Reds, Catherine. They finished ages ago!'

0:18:24 > 0:18:26You're going to take me.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29'Two down, only one to go.'

0:18:29 > 0:18:33You've got to buy an item for, like, £15, really.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- How much was that tambourine? - Oh, dear.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Five minutes to find one object.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Should we just sort of separate? I think we're going to have to.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- That's mine and that's yours. - No, you can't do that!- Yes, I can!

0:18:50 > 0:18:54- No, you can't.- Yes, I can! - 'Break it up, girls!'

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Go on, your go.

0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Oh, my goodness! - Have you found anything?

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Come on.- No, no, keep looking!

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Oh, yes, I can see it.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Huge profit at the auction.- Ohh!

0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Got anything here for sort of £15? Something interesting? - A nice bargain for 15 quid.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22We've literally got one minute left and not very much money.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25- How much is the prayer wheel? - 20.- Luke.- Yep?

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- A what?- Shall we say a prayer? It's a prayer wheel.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Tibetan. Buddhist prayer wheel.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- I'm with you on that... - I'm not fussy.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Can we say 15 quid? - 15?- I will do it 15.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Brilliant! You are kind! I'll say a prayer for you.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Thank you very much.- I think we need to say a prayer for the whole thing.

0:19:45 > 0:19:50- You basically...- Don't break it.- You swing it around with your prayers.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52# Hallelujah

0:19:52 > 0:19:55'Divine intervention at last!

0:19:55 > 0:19:59'Now, while I find those Reds, let's remind ourselves what they bought.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05'They sprinted off the blocks with a Huntley and Palmer biscuit tin.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11'Then swiftly signed a deal over the ink stand.'

0:20:11 > 0:20:16Sometimes, those French and English things made in that Japanese style

0:20:16 > 0:20:18can be extremely desirable.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22'And finished up with a cobalt blue harvest mug.'

0:20:25 > 0:20:28So, have you been instigating your daughter to spend all the money?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Just a little bit. - Yeah, pushing her along, I'd say.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Was that good fun, though?- I really enjoyed it.- Good.- Really good.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38- How much did you finish up spending? - £275.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- Have you got £25 of leftover lolly? - Yep.- Very nice.

0:20:41 > 0:20:47- Which is your favourite piece? - I think the inkwell.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- The inkwell's your favourite? What about you?- Same.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Is it?- Yep. - Right, fine. £25 goes to you, Mark.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Not bad.- Not a lot of money there. - Not a lot, but I'm pleased with what they bought.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- They've got a very good eye, these two.- Yes. Sharp as razors, eh?

0:21:01 > 0:21:07- Anyway, good luck, everybody.- Thank you.- Why don't we remind ourselves of exactly what the Blues bought?

0:21:07 > 0:21:11'The Blue Team finally found a jewelled casket

0:21:11 > 0:21:13'to get them underway.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16'With the temperature rising, they bought an ivory thermometer

0:21:16 > 0:21:19'for £150.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22'And in the dying seconds, their prayers were answered

0:21:22 > 0:21:25'by a Tibetan wheel.'

0:21:26 > 0:21:31To be saved by a prayer wheel is just a strange turn of fate, isn't it?

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Well, it was indeed. It was just there.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- It was the hand of God, I think. - Absolutely.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Talking about the hand of God, who's got the leftover lolly? - Ohh, that would be me.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- You've got the collection money? Very good.- Five whole pounds. - This is a joke.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Well, I'm afraid, Catherine, that's all I've got to present you with.

0:21:48 > 0:21:53It's a challenge to go out and find a bonus buy that's going to make a profit for these two for £5.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57- How do you feel about that? - I think I've got to work a miracle.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Oh, dear.- I don't feel very confident, Tim.- Don't you?- No.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- I will try.- We've got faith in you. - I'll do my best.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07'Good luck, Catherine. £5, eh?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11'Well, while the experts shop, I'm off to London.'

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Welcome to Ranger's House.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26It's located next door to Greenwich Park

0:22:26 > 0:22:33and it contains the remains of one man's collection of treasures.

0:22:33 > 0:22:38'Julius Wernher made his fortune digging up diamonds in South Africa at the turn of the century.

0:22:38 > 0:22:43'He bought himself an array of treasures with the proceeds.'

0:22:43 > 0:22:48# A kiss on the hand may be quite continental

0:22:48 > 0:22:52# But diamonds are a girl's best friend

0:22:53 > 0:22:55# A kiss may be grand...

0:22:55 > 0:23:01The jewellery collected by Wernher comprised some 115 cast and chased gold

0:23:01 > 0:23:05bejewelled and enamelled pieces

0:23:05 > 0:23:09dating from the second century BC right up to the 18th century

0:23:09 > 0:23:11and I've been allowed to make a selection

0:23:11 > 0:23:18of four pieces of this early jewellery to show you down here in the drawing room.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22Now, the oldest piece out of this group is probably this fellow,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25the diamond ring. And if you look at that,

0:23:25 > 0:23:30it's encrusted with diamonds, but stones that don't look quite like

0:23:30 > 0:23:32the diamonds we see today.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36That's because the modern diamond is displayed in the claw

0:23:36 > 0:23:38and is cut differently

0:23:38 > 0:23:42so that the light reflects off more surfaces above and below.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46But in the old days, and we're talking about 1580 for the ring,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49the diamonds were set flat.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53As you see behind, there's no light coming in from the back area.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58And sometimes they introduced foil underneath the cut stone

0:23:58 > 0:24:00so that the light, when it hits the top of the stone,

0:24:00 > 0:24:06does shine back at you, giving you this impressive bling-type finish.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11Old lizard face, on the other side, which is another pendant,

0:24:11 > 0:24:15is encrusted in little chips of fiery opals.

0:24:15 > 0:24:20We tend to think of opals being commonly available today

0:24:20 > 0:24:23following the opening of the opal mines in Australia,

0:24:23 > 0:24:28but in the old days, opals would've been much, much rarer.

0:24:28 > 0:24:33What got early collectors of jewellery really excited

0:24:33 > 0:24:36was when they came across a piece that looked like this.

0:24:36 > 0:24:42That pendant is so stunning and so spectacular

0:24:42 > 0:24:46because of the pearl element. The body of this girl

0:24:46 > 0:24:49is, in fact, a deformed pearl.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53The piece of jewellery was made in the 17th century

0:24:53 > 0:24:57and if you look at her head, it's been cast and chased in gold

0:24:57 > 0:25:00and it's quite obviously a girl's head.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05But the body itself could very easily resemble a torso.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08She's got breasts, she's got a tummy,

0:25:08 > 0:25:13and you have a semblance of how her dolphin-like tail

0:25:13 > 0:25:17might be tucked up here on one side.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20The best bit of all, though, has to be this skull pendant.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24It looks like a miniature skull, doesn't it? He's even got teeth.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29But if I give it a gentle tweak, you see it opens up

0:25:29 > 0:25:33and inside we've got a scene that shows the baptism of Christ.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37The purpose of this little fellow is as a pomander,

0:25:37 > 0:25:41and originally when it was made, around 1620, it would have contained

0:25:41 > 0:25:46a little slab of perfume so that when you were wandering around

0:25:46 > 0:25:51and there was a nasty smell about, and believe you me, there were lots of smells in the streets,

0:25:51 > 0:25:56you'd simply reach for your pomander, which would be hanging on a chain around your neck,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59and stick it under your nostrils to take away the evil smells.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02The big question today is, of course,

0:26:02 > 0:26:06will our teams be able to smell a profit over at the auction?

0:26:06 > 0:26:11'Auctioneer Michael Roberts at the Canterbury Auction Galleries

0:26:11 > 0:26:17'is playing host to us today and I can't wait to see what our experts bought.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21'They only had £30 between them.'

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Yvonne and Zozo, this is your moment.

0:26:23 > 0:26:28£275 you spent. You gave £25 to Mark Stacey to find your bonus buy.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31- What did you find, Mark? - Something small, Tim.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35But I think very nice. It's a little porcelain cream jug.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39It's not marked, but it reminds me of something like Goss or early Belleek

0:26:39 > 0:26:42because the quality is very nice.

0:26:42 > 0:26:48They called it King Charles, but I think it comes from a suit of cards. It looks like the jack to me.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Yes. - But I just thought the quality was very nice and it did cost me the £25

0:26:52 > 0:26:55- but I thought it was rather sweet. - I like that.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Would you say he's two-faced?- Ooh! - THEY LAUGH

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- I hope he makes double the profit. - No shame!

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Do you think it's going to make a profit?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well, I'd love it to make £35, £40.

0:27:07 > 0:27:12So maybe a working profit. Not a huge profit but maybe a working one if people get carried away a bit.

0:27:12 > 0:27:18OK. Well, you don't pick it now, you pick it later, after the sale of your first three items.

0:27:18 > 0:27:23But let's, for the audience at home, find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's little jug.

0:27:23 > 0:27:29- Morning, Michael. - Morning.- Lovely to be here. Now, what do you make of that?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Not a great deal. I think possibly the least said, the better.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36It's of no great quality. In the manner of perhaps Belleek,

0:27:36 > 0:27:41maybe Goss, late 19th century slip cast type thing,

0:27:41 > 0:27:46- but no name, no value.- So, you're being very polite, but it's rubbish.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50- Absolutely.- OK, fine. I quite agree with you. It looks like...

0:27:50 > 0:27:53When I was a child, you threw three stones at a coconut

0:27:53 > 0:27:56and if you hit it, they gave you one of those.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00- There we are.- It's a fairground type object.- Absolutely.- I think.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Our estimate is, optimistically, £20 to £30.

0:28:03 > 0:28:08You're a lovely lot, I tell you. That's pure charity, that is.

0:28:08 > 0:28:13Now, Zoe and Yvonne, their first item is the Huntley and Palmer's biscuit tin.

0:28:13 > 0:28:18- How do you rate that?- Well, it's OK. It's physically sound.

0:28:18 > 0:28:24Not the most exciting. The famous one is the garden scene with the nude figures,

0:28:24 > 0:28:29- that's what everyone raves about and you see articles about it. - What do you think value-wise?

0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Our estimate is £50 to £70. - They paid £100.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34- OK.- Could get there, couldn't it? - It could do with the internet.

0:28:34 > 0:28:41- Next is the inkwell.- Yes. - With this slightly oddball Chinaman squatting on the top,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- but it certainly ain't Chinese, is it?- No, it's French.

0:28:44 > 0:28:49It's nice quality and a bit of Eastern influence there with the Chinese style.

0:28:49 > 0:28:54- Would've been part of a larger set. - Yes, with a blotter and a pen rack.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Absolutely, the whole lot. - How much for that one?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Our estimate is £70 to £100. - £125 they paid.

0:29:00 > 0:29:07- Right.- Gosh. And their last item is this cobalt blue mug.- Yep.

0:29:07 > 0:29:13- Looks a bit grubby to me.- Yeah, it is, but it's actually quite a nice thing, named and dated at the front,

0:29:13 > 0:29:16and in good condition, it would be worth a bit of money.

0:29:16 > 0:29:22However, it has been completely restored and internally you can see over-painting, which has cracked.

0:29:22 > 0:29:27- Oh, dear.- So it's not something that's going to sell terribly well.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29They paid £50. How does that rate?

0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Our estimate is £60 to £80. - Oh, well, not too bad, then.

0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Yeah.- It's better than the tin and the inkwell. Good.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40So, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Mervyn and Luke.

0:29:40 > 0:29:46Their first item is this filigree gem-encrusted casket.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49- Ooh. Not a good start.- Right.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53- I mean, it looks a bit better, perhaps, than it is.- Yeah.

0:29:53 > 0:30:00It looks quite nice, but it's a souvenir thing, really. Internally, it's fairly plain.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05- And rough. - Yeah. The filigree element is applied as a sheet over the top.

0:30:05 > 0:30:10- Yes.- There's no damage to any of these stones but there's no great value to it.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13The problem with this is, it's trying to be incredibly important,

0:30:13 > 0:30:17when, in fact, it's a bit of tourist wear. Somebody got off a cruise liner,

0:30:17 > 0:30:25they toddled 200, 300 yards, they saw this in 1968, they thought it was marvellous

0:30:25 > 0:30:29and they invested at least 100 denary for it.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- So how do you estimate that? - Our estimate is £20 to £30.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Our guys paid £130.- Right. - Well, it's got the look.- Oh, yes.

0:30:37 > 0:30:41I can see somebody in the auction maybe getting carried away

0:30:41 > 0:30:44and paying £50 or £80 for it, but £130 plus?

0:30:44 > 0:30:46I don't think so.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Next up, we've got this thermometer. - Yes.- In ivory.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Yeah. It's not a bad thing, this one, actually.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Good quality, ornamentally turned ivory.

0:30:56 > 0:31:01And, yeah, it's in fairly good condition, really.

0:31:01 > 0:31:06- Lovely. How much?- £70 to £100. - £150 they paid.- Right, OK.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Well, strangely enough, I can see that perhaps making £150.- Yeah.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13If somebody pays £150 for that, they are getting a genuine piece

0:31:13 > 0:31:18of mid to late 19th century turner's art.

0:31:18 > 0:31:24Now, I think this team might need to say their prayers, so how about the prayer wheel?

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Well, it's just as well they bought it, really.

0:31:27 > 0:31:32Yeah, it... I know not a lot about it, but I do know that it's not very good quality.

0:31:32 > 0:31:36Erm, consequently, our estimate isn't very high.

0:31:36 > 0:31:40- What is your estimate?- £20 to £30. - That's OK. £15 they paid.- OK.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44- And if they can buy a prayer with it, then all the better. - Well, quite.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48The whole thing's a bit of a wing and a prayer if you ask me.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53They're definitely going to need their bonus buy so let's have a butchers at it.

0:31:53 > 0:31:59OK, boys, you spent £295. You gave Catherine a miserable £5 note.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02- You seem to have got something rather substantial.- I have!

0:32:02 > 0:32:09I have for £5. I mean, this was mission impossible, but I think I did rather well.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11- What do you think of that?- Oh, wow!

0:32:11 > 0:32:18- It's... It's a lot bigger than I was expecting a £5 item to be. - It's fabulous.

0:32:18 > 0:32:24It's this 1950s Samsonite, so a nice make, simulated leather vanity case.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28You can see that it's rather nice inside. We've got a mirror and little pockets.

0:32:28 > 0:32:32- I mean, for £5...- That's really good! - I'm impressed.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36That's fantastic. That would just about contain your makeup, Luke.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Yeah, that's really, really nice. - Is there any money in it?

0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Yes, anything else? - I did actually see a little...

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Oh, even the keys!

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- I mean, gosh.- Just out of interest,

0:32:48 > 0:32:52the fact that the label's on it, would that actually add value?

0:32:52 > 0:32:54I think it makes it a little bit more interesting.

0:32:54 > 0:32:57I mean, he wanted £30 for it,

0:32:57 > 0:33:02- so I had to work very, very hard. - You got him down to £5 from £30?

0:33:02 > 0:33:06Gosh. You should go shopping with me. What do you think, Catherine?

0:33:06 > 0:33:11- Do you think we'll make a little bit on that?- You will definitely make a profit on this.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Well done.- Very clever of you, Catherine. Thank you for that.

0:33:14 > 0:33:19But for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's case.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Michael, you'll not remember BOAC, will you?- No.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- That's what British Airways was before it became British Airways. - Right.

0:33:26 > 0:33:31- So it's a lovely label.- Yes, that's probably the best thing about it.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35Nice label. Samsonite cabin bag.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- There we are. Right. - It's all stained, look.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43With a mirror inside. It's been used.

0:33:43 > 0:33:49All made of plastic with metal mounts. It's not something of any great shakes, really.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53- What's strange about this stuff is that it's evocative of an era.- Yeah.

0:33:53 > 0:33:58It's all about nostalgia. And if you don't feel nostalgic about it

0:33:58 > 0:34:02because it's not really your era, which is fair enough...

0:34:02 > 0:34:08The person who is going to feel nostalgic about it is somebody who did fly first in 1962

0:34:08 > 0:34:10and think, "That's the type of luggage I used to have."

0:34:10 > 0:34:14- And I must say, it's quite clever. Looks like leather.- Yes, it does.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18But it's just plastic throughout. Anyway, what do you think it might bring?

0:34:18 > 0:34:22- I think it's around £20 to £30. - You think it's going to take off.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Well, within that limited area. - She paid just £5 for it.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30- OK.- You have to admit, for £5, that's not too bad.- It's not.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Good luck on the rostrum.- Thank you.

0:34:39 > 0:34:44What do you know about the Archduchess Maria Theresa?

0:34:44 > 0:34:51Not much? Well, you could come to a sale here in Canterbury and learn a lot more about her.

0:34:51 > 0:34:56Because what we've got here is a pair of reverse paintings on glass

0:34:56 > 0:35:00of the Archduchess herself and her hubby, Francis.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04And we see her here in quite a naive portrait.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08This would not have been painted by a court painter,

0:35:08 > 0:35:12it would've been painted by a man who was a gifted amateur.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15He might have painted pub signs.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18But he's patriotic. He loves his queen.

0:35:18 > 0:35:25And he's inscribed underneath, Maria Theresa imperat, empress,

0:35:25 > 0:35:28of Hung, Hungary, and Bohemia.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32She acceded in about 1740

0:35:32 > 0:35:35and she died in about 1780.

0:35:35 > 0:35:42So her time in power spans a crucial mid-18th century period.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45But how do you create an image like this?

0:35:45 > 0:35:48Well, you start off with a plain sheet of glass

0:35:48 > 0:35:54and instead of painting on the surface, which is what you do with an ordinary oil painting,

0:35:54 > 0:35:56you paint it from behind.

0:35:56 > 0:36:00So it's not complicated, really, setting out your image from behind,

0:36:00 > 0:36:04but it's a bit like painting on a shop window.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06And it's rather beautifully done.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09The colours have remained bright and clear

0:36:09 > 0:36:14because, after all, no dust or pollution can get at the surface of that paint

0:36:14 > 0:36:20because the surface of the paint is frozen for all time against a sheet of glass.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23And as long as the backs don't get too bashed,

0:36:23 > 0:36:28here we've got some pretty rotten old brown paper which is protecting it,

0:36:28 > 0:36:31as long as the backs don't get bashed, you'll still have

0:36:31 > 0:36:34a bright and breezy image like that

0:36:34 > 0:36:38a cool 260 years after they were painted.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Charming, aren't they?

0:36:41 > 0:36:44What are they worth? Well, according to the auction estimate,

0:36:44 > 0:36:51all this European history could be yours for £120 to £160.

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Apparently.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01This is it. Oooh!

0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Here's your tin.- A Huntley and Palmer book pattern biscuit tin.

0:37:05 > 0:37:09Starting at £70 on commission and looking for £80.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13- £70 we've got. - The biscuit tin here. £80, anyone?

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Must have this. £80. - Where's the tinternet.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21- I will sell on commission at £70. - Oh, no.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23We're going to burst into tears.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Minus 30. Now, here he goes.

0:37:26 > 0:37:29The French brass square ink stand, Eastern design.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- 50. Anyone, £50?- Oh, dear.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Looking gloomy. - £50 I'm bid, thank you.- Come on.

0:37:35 > 0:37:39£60 where? I have 50. Looking for 60. Any more?

0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Come on.- If not, 50 it is.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43Yes? 50 and selling.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Bad luck.- That is minus £75.

0:37:46 > 0:37:51246 is the Staffordshire pottery mug with the name and date on the front.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54Who'll start me at £40? 40?

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Lot 246, £40 now. Anyone?

0:37:58 > 0:38:01- £40?- This isn't going well. - It's not at all, is it?

0:38:01 > 0:38:05£30 now. 30. Let's see a bid. Who's 40? Any more?

0:38:05 > 0:38:09- If not, 30 and selling. - That's minus 125.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12- God.- Minus 125.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15What are you going to do about the two-faced jug, then?

0:38:15 > 0:38:18- I think we'll go for it. - We trust Mark.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22- You what?- We trust Mark. - After that? Bad!

0:38:22 > 0:38:24We'll have a go and here it comes.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28250 is the white glazed porcelain jug modelled with two faces.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Who'll start me at £10?- Come on! - £10 I'm bid. 20.

0:38:31 > 0:38:3430. No. £20. Looking for £30 now.

0:38:34 > 0:38:3630. 40?

0:38:36 > 0:38:39No? £30. Who's 40? Any more?

0:38:39 > 0:38:4130, looking for 40.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43If not, 30 and selling. It's yours.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46£5 profit. Well, that's great, isn't it?

0:38:46 > 0:38:52- Well done. - Overall, girls, you are minus 120.

0:38:52 > 0:38:57That might be a winning score if everything goes the same way for the Blues.

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Next up are the paintings on glass.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11I rather fancy these, you know? Morning.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14But will anybody else recognise them? They seem to be leaving,

0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Start on commission at £200. - £200!- Start me at 210.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21210 where? 200 on commission. Looking for 10.

0:39:21 > 0:39:25210. 220. 230 now. Any more?

0:39:25 > 0:39:27At 220 and selling, then. All done.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31£220. The Archduchess would be delighted.

0:39:37 > 0:39:41- How's it for you, Luke? - Really exciting. I want to know what's going to happen.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Here comes the filigree casket.

0:39:44 > 0:39:48Stone topped casket with applied filigree work. Who'll start at £10?

0:39:48 > 0:39:53£10 where? Lot 266. £10. 10 I'm bid.

0:39:53 > 0:39:5620. 30. No. Keep all your jewels.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- There we are. - £20. That was pretty swift.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12We've got a long way to go.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Ivory desk thermometer. Lot 267.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Who's £50? £50 on commission. Who's 60 now?

0:40:23 > 0:40:28- Yes?- Two bidders on the internet. This could take forever. Stand by.

0:40:28 > 0:40:32It's gone a bit crazy on the net. We're onto 180, are we?

0:40:32 > 0:40:35- 180!- Yes!- Look at that, guys!- Yes!

0:40:35 > 0:40:38Makes up for the last lot.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57220. Yes! That is so good!

0:40:57 > 0:41:01268, this is a Tibetan embossed copper prayer wheel.

0:41:01 > 0:41:05£10, the prayer wheel. £10 I'm bid. Thank you. Who's 20?

0:41:05 > 0:41:08£20 now. Any more?

0:41:08 > 0:41:12- If not, £10 it will sell. - Oh, dear, £10. Terribly quick.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15Minus £5. You're minus £45 overall.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17You're minus £45, boys.

0:41:17 > 0:41:21What are you going to do about the suitcase? You going with it or not?

0:41:21 > 0:41:25- I think definitely.- We're going with the suitcase, the bonus buy.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29Lot 272 is this Samsonite brown leather vanity case.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Who'll start me at £10? £10 I'm bid.

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Who's 20? £20 now.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37- 20 on the telephone. - Ooh!- 20, thank you.

0:41:37 > 0:41:3930. 40?

0:41:39 > 0:41:4150. No?

0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Go on! Go on! Go on!- Come on!

0:41:45 > 0:41:48We have an international bidder on the phone. £40. Looking for 50 now.

0:41:48 > 0:41:52- At 40 and selling. - One more. Ohh. £40.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56That's plus £35. Well done, Catherine.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59You were minus £45, which means overall you're minus 10.

0:41:59 > 0:42:03- Ohh!- Well, that's the way it goes. - So exciting, that.

0:42:08 > 0:42:15Well, well, well. Such excitement the like of which we haven't seen for years.

0:42:15 > 0:42:20So, you have no idea that one team has done disastrously badly

0:42:20 > 0:42:23and the other has done really rather well.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25- No, you have no idea about that? - ALL: No.

0:42:25 > 0:42:30- Well, unfortunately, the disaster movie starts over here.- Oh, no.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34It's bad luck, isn't it? Minus £120.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38The only glimmer on your horizon was the two-faced jug,

0:42:38 > 0:42:42very cleverly found by Mark, which made you a £5 profit.

0:42:42 > 0:42:47But what I love about this team is they're so giggly. Mother and daughter all having a great time.

0:42:47 > 0:42:53Cos it's not the result that really counts. Unless you happen to be the winners, in which case it counts.

0:42:53 > 0:42:57Well done, chaps. Your overall score after all that

0:42:57 > 0:42:59is minus £10, so you're not going home with money,

0:42:59 > 0:43:04but nevertheless, you're most certainly the winners and it's been the most splendid show.

0:43:04 > 0:43:08- Thank you very much. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? - ALL: Yes!
