0:00:02 > 0:00:05Cor! Chilly out here today, isn't it? And more snow forecast.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09What you want is 45 minutes of warm frontage
0:00:09 > 0:00:12and a sunny disposition. Let the sunshine in, I say,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Our teams today are going to keep nice and warm and cosy in here,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48at the Hemswell Antique Centre just outside Lincoln.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51But the big question is, how hot are they going to get
0:00:51 > 0:00:53in the heat of the competition?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58James manages to keep his cool.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00What do you think we should pay for that one?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03As little as possible, is the idea.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07The Blues are hot on the trail of something special.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I'm really desperate to find a candlestick with bits sticking off
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- because I had a dream about one. - A dream about a candelabra?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16£10. £15.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19But how high or low will the temperature go
0:01:19 > 0:01:22when the hammer comes down at the auction?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25£30 for that...
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- And here we are. Hello, everyone. - Hello!- Lovely to see you all.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Ann, how did you and Paula meet? - We met about 30 years ago,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and I went to have my hair cut,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and decided that I would choose a really good hairdresser,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and I chose Paula. And we got on really, really well.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- You just clicked? - We did.- You just snipped, actually.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48THEY LAUGH Sort of.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Lovely! And you've been mates ever since?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Ever since.- Do you go sometimes and have the old bouffantay,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- get under that egg cosy? - They don't do that any more, Tim.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Don't they?- Times have changed. THEY LAUGH
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, Paula, you've had quite a run at it
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- as a hairdresser, haven't you? - I have.- It says here
0:02:06 > 0:02:09that you had a really swinging time in the '60s.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- SHE LAUGHS - Well, I lived in London in the '60s,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and worked in a hairdressing salon in Marlborough Court,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20just off Carnaby Street, so that's where the world went.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Dead trendy.- Yes. - Did you have your micro-skirt?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Yes, I did.- Bit of a pelmet.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yes!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- And those leather boots? - Of course!- Oh, perfect.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I can imagine this now, walking down Oxford Street,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- heading for Carnaby Street. - Oh, please don't go there!
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Oh, yes! Take us back!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Anyway, any fruity experiences at all?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45I went to a Beatles concert, and I went backstage
0:02:45 > 0:02:48to get their autographs. I met Paul McCartney,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and he said, "What's your name?" and I said, "Paula."
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- He said, "I've always wanted to meet a girl called Paula. Can I take you home?"- Oh-ho-ho!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59This is the business! OK, dish the dirt. What was he like?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He was very nice.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- He was OK.- "He was very nice!" - I was only 17 at the time.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10It was quite a long time ago. But yes, he took me home and...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12And what?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Well, he kissed me good night. - Did he?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Did you make any music together? - Um...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Not as much music as you're thinking.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21THEY LAUGH
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Are you up for this challenge? What are your tactics, Annie?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We're going to just take our time, and what takes our eye,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- we're going to go for. - You're going at this with passion?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Oh!- We are, yes. We come from Derbyshire!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Oh, yes! - THEY LAUGH
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Well known, the girls in Derbyshire, for their passion.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Watch out, chaps.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Anyway, now, Sean, how did you and Rodge the Dodge meet?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, I was 17, working in a bar,
0:03:46 > 0:03:50and I couldn't work the till properly. They'd left me all alone,
0:03:50 > 0:03:54and it was a round of drinks for Roger and his friends.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59And they told me about a third of the price and I just punched it into the till.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01And that was it. They had a round on me like that.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Then we became friends.- They came back for more, didn't they?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Every night. I saw him every night without fail.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Brilliant. Roger, being in the Blue Team is appropriate for you, isn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Yes, it is. I worked for Pontins, er, as a Bluecoat.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Did you?- Yes.- Happy days!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Very happy days. - We went away with Pontins
0:04:22 > 0:04:26when we were 17, with Roger's grandparents, and we never came back.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28TIM LAUGHS And that was the end of it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We stayed that season. We went back for the following two,
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and we just formed a lifelong friend since then.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39And now we do a singing comedy act,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42and a comedy magic act called Magical Mayhem.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And it's madness.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Roger's put on a few pounds now, so we have a few problems.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- What sort of problems do you have? - I can't get in the box any more.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- I beg your pardon?- I can't... - HE LAUGHS
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- We've got a trunk. - I can get in the box.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01What box are we talking about? A coffin?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- No. It's where you disappear. - Ah, a disappearing box!
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- And I push swords through it. - Oh, one of those boxes!
0:05:06 > 0:05:10And Roger's meant to disappear, and then I open the box.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, one night I kept opening the door, and Roger was still there!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Oh, dear! And how many swords had you stuck into him?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Nine.- Nine! - THEY LAUGH
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's no wonder you were still there.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I think we're going to have a riot today.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Here's the money moment. There's your £300.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Abracadabra!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And hoping to conjure up some profits for our teams are...
0:05:38 > 0:05:41..a debonair James Braxton...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45..and a fighting-fit Thomas Plant.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Right! That's an hour on the clock, guys.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- What are we going to be looking for? - I love ceramics and jewellery.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Maybe a bit of silver, glass?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Come on. We've got a nice wide choice. Let's...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02I'm really desperate to find a candlestick with bits sticking off.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- I had a dream about one. - You had a dream about a candelabra?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07'Gosh! Dreams, eh?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10'This'll be an enlightening shop.'
0:06:13 > 0:06:14James!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I wouldn't mind looking at that candle.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I've got this thing about candles!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27'We know, Sean.'
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- Can't see a price. - We could make a note of that,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32and there's another one there for you, as well. 120.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35They're late 18th century, early 19th century.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Put it down, Paula. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Put it down! PAULA GRUNTS
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Now, it's fun, isn't it? - Yeah.- Sometimes they're wood,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- sometimes they're plastic. - I think she meant the dish.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Oh, the dish. It's got a label on it, as well.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's that sort of cased glass, isn't it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03So you've got that two-colour, greeny-tangeriney...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And this lime-green colour's in at the minute.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- My room's lime green. - It must be in, Paula.- It must be!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- It must be in.- I quite like that. - No chips or anything, is there?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Feel away. Your eyes - - I thought just there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Your eyes can - - They've got a fault on there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Ooh, hello.- Hello!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Don't worry. I think that's not a crack.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think it's part of the pontil.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28'Ooh, grab your dictionary!'
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Where they knocked it off.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- So that's... - That could be a possibility.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42What have we got? That's 30. It's not expensive, is it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Get that for about 25...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Let's hold that thought.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51'You hold what you like, James.'
0:07:51 > 0:07:55What are you going in there... He's picking up the Philippe Starck!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57There he is. You like that, don't you?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I just like the shape of it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01'Funny looking candlestick!'
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Unusual's what people like today. - It's brand new, though.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Yeah, it is. - You can still buy those today.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It's a lemon squeezer. This is an antique of the future,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13there's no question. This is a collectable.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16There's certain things of Philippe Starck's
0:08:16 > 0:08:20which have a real collectorship, and one of them is his teapot.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Not many were made because they didn't really work,
0:08:23 > 0:08:27but this is quite iconic design.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30You can buy them new. Be OK to bash you over the head with one.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Interesting, these two vases.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42They look quite clean. You take one.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Early ones, 18th, 17th-century Chinese vases,
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- will have some firing cracks, little blemishes.- Glazing.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- These are very clean, aren't they? - Yes, they are. Yes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57What age? What sort of age would you say...
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I would say they're early 20th century,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02so 1910, 1920.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05And they're translucent. They are porcelain.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09They're nicely painted. They're most likely to be Paris porcelain.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11£45. I think they're all right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- They're decorative items, aren't they?- Yes. They're nice.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16And also I just wanted to quickly look up here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23'Never mind the looking, guys. What about the buying?'
0:09:23 > 0:09:27'So far you have nothing. Nada.'
0:09:32 > 0:09:35If you're sitting comfortably, then, I'll stand up!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Actually, I was sitting quite comfortably
0:09:38 > 0:09:40in this rustic chair.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43What do I particularly like about this chair?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Well, frankly, it's its integrity.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49This is a chair that was made
0:09:49 > 0:09:51about 250 years ago
0:09:51 > 0:09:55by a village craftsman called Bodger -
0:09:55 > 0:10:00literally a local fellow who hacked lengths of green wood
0:10:00 > 0:10:04from hedgerows, roughly formed them into shape
0:10:04 > 0:10:08on his string-powered treadle lathe,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and in effect created these circular members
0:10:11 > 0:10:13that go to make up the legs.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17The only complicated thing he had to turn was this front rail,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20which, as you can see, has been turned with three balusters -
0:10:20 > 0:10:22a big globby one in the middle,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25which is pretty well the same shape as when he turned it,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27but the ones on either side
0:10:27 > 0:10:31have curiously become flat on the top,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and that's because, for 250 years,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37little people - that's children -
0:10:37 > 0:10:42have sat in this chair and roughly swung their feet
0:10:42 > 0:10:45on top of the rail, and they've worn it flat.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50But that's an honest and genuine and rather nice sign,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I think, in a piece of rustic furniture.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The back itself is called a ladder-back,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59literally because these thin lathes
0:10:59 > 0:11:02that have been shaped to form the back
0:11:02 > 0:11:04look a bit like a ladder.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07But what's really nice for me as a collector
0:11:07 > 0:11:11is this top rail. It's called a yoke rail,
0:11:11 > 0:11:16that resembles the yoke that might sit in the harness of an oxen,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and this form of yoke rail
0:11:19 > 0:11:23is peculiar to one particular chair-making centre
0:11:23 > 0:11:26in Cheshire, just by Macclesfield.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28And what would such a thing cost you?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Today, here, in this antique centre,
0:11:31 > 0:11:33it's marked up at £59.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Now, that is not a lot of money.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43'Right! Have our experts led their teams to a buy yet, I wonder?'
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Shall we see if he spots it? It's like a dog with a bone, isn't it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Oh, there he is!- There he is. - Reaches it right out.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Bring it over here. Don't smash anything.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57'Now what's he got?'
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Is that what you like?- This is...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Silver plated. £90.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05'Surprise, surprise!'
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- There's quite a bit of solder here. You can see that, can't you?- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12I liked it at first glance, but that puts me off a bit.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Well, they're always going to have something wrong with them.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK. Let's just... Luckily, if the dealer doesn't mind...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- She is here right now, so shall we ask her?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Is that all right? Would you mind us asking you?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29So, £40. She's putting up four fingers.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32£40. That's a good reduction. What about 30?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- I'll do 35.- 35.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- 30 for the Blue Team on Bargain Hunt. - Don't!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Please! - I think you've done jolly well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- I know.- You've done jolly well. I think 35 is a decent price.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- What do you want to do? - What do you think we could make?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Well, it's got a chance at £30 to £50,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55so there's no question that's got a chance.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58It's not unattractive. It satisfies your demand...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- SEAN LAUGHS - ..for a candlestick, which is great.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- £35. Do you like it? - Yeah, I like it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- You want to go with that one?- Yes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12'At last! A buy!
0:13:12 > 0:13:15'If only the Red Team would follow suit!'
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Bisto. Bisto. - Is that a good make, or...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Yeah. Bisto did masses of services,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24so a Staffordshire manufacturer.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- Marigold probably refers to the pattern.- To the design.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- Yes. Look here.- It's rather nice. - Lovely.- Gorgeous.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Have you felt round the rim? Has it got any chips?
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- No, it's not. It's fine, and it's... - It's not crazed or anything?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- And there's no leaks. - And it also has...
0:13:42 > 0:13:44VASE CHIMES SOFTLY Ring.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Yeah, that's ringing. It's not dead, is it?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Bit of blue and white. Not the greatest maker.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- How old do you think it is? - You could probably date it exactly.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- It's probably about 1910. - Really? It's in fantastic condition.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Yeah. It's a nice bit, isn't it? - Mm, like that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Can we bid on that, please? - Of course you can.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07It's your money. It's your show. £69.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I think that's definitely a possibility.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12So let's line that up. It's all on price!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14What do you think we should pay for that?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- As little as possible, is the idea. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:17 > 0:14:18'Stating the obvious, James!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21'Oh, still there, boys?'
0:14:22 > 0:14:26So, quick question - how many pieces in a chess set?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- 48.- Come on! Think again!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- I don't know.- No!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- 24. - No! There's 18 pieces in each side.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35- 36.- 36.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38This is really boring, but we've got to do it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42I like to set it up as if I'm going to play a game of chess.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's the only way to make sure that you've got it all there.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49This may sound a silly question, but don't you normally have a board?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51'Sounded perfectly sensible to me, Sean.'
0:14:51 > 0:14:55It's a bit like railwayana, railway items.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58A train collector, you've always got track.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01If you're a chess-set collector, you've always got a board.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Pick one of these up, and what do you feel? What's on the bottom?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Felt.- Felt.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09And it's got a nice thump as you put it down.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12They're weighted. They've got a weight to them.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- It's quite a nice set. - And what's the age?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Um, Edwardian. - I've never played chess.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Never played chess? - No.- Never played chess?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Draughts and tiddlywinks. - Yes.- It's a great game.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26And it's at £50.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's a very good example. I love it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32What would it make at auction? Would it make a profit?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35I can see there being a profit in that personally.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- I think so. Yes.- You like them?- Yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40So you've got the candlestick and you've got the chess set.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Do the deal.- Do the deal!
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That's quite pretty.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54It doesn't do anything for me, James.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58It'd be even prettier if that was gold, wouldn't it, the chain?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00What they asking for it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:0316. Like a little fob watch, isn't it?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Have you got a magnifying glass? - Yeah, course I have.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08SHE LAUGHS
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Just see, because if it's marked gold,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- it's quite a cheap little chain.- Mm.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It's not marked gold, but I see...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19You don't think it's pinchbeck, do you?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Buyers beware!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Could be a pinchybecky, couldn't it?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- I suppose it is...- Just, er...
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- What make is it?- Oh, no. It would just be a little, um...
0:16:37 > 0:16:41You'd have to take off the back. It's not gold. It's brass.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45But it's mother-of-pearl, and somebody's turned it
0:16:45 > 0:16:50into a little pendant watch. But that's quite pretty, really.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53It is, with the mother-of-pearl round it, when you look closely.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- And £16 is not a lot of money.- No.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And you've got the opportunity of the chain.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03So if that turned out to be gold,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07you've probably got a little bit of value. 30 or 50 quid there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09'Well, buy it, then!'
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Yes.- I think you'd do quite well with that at auction.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- OK.- And 16 quid, I don't think that's a lot.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18So let's keep that and see what we can do on that.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I think that's a possibility.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24'They've all been possibilities, James! Make a decision!'
0:17:29 > 0:17:33There you are, boys. Have a look at it. Don't drop it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35So, it's Japanese,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37which is OK.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Not Chinese.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Chinese is obviously much better.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- What do you think the age is of that? - Not very old.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Well, it's 100 years. Probably 1900s, 1920s.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Right-oh. And it's...- 245.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- 245.- Why do you like it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I think it's more of a decorative thing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I just picked up on it and thought, "Ooh, I like that."
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I've got to go with that. I've got to respect your opinion.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- I mean, it is beautiful. - But it's too expensive.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Well, it is a lot of money, but you've got a lot of money to spend.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You can certainly try and get a deal.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- In for a penny, in for a pound. - Go and phone up.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15See what you can do. But before you do,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19can I just show you one thing? I don't want to bully you into this,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I really don't, but there's just... In here, I just noticed,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25there's this. You might not agree with this.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29This is an ivory puzzle ball on a stand.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33It's £85. Whatever you think about ivory, it can be sold
0:18:33 > 0:18:36as long as it's pre-1947.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39This is a profit, OK?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Whatever way you look at that, that's a profit.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You'd really have to work hard at that.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- That's a gamble.- That's a gamble. - I actually do like that.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- I think the carving...- This is a ball inside a ball inside a ball.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- How do they do that?- Well, exactly. It's a very skilled thing.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- And what would that make at auction? - If you get that for 60, 70 quid,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- you'd be doing well. - I've gone off my vase.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- HE LAUGHS - You've gone off it now, have you?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Yeah. I don't like it. - You don't like it now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Throw it back in the shelf. - Throw it back.- Not throw it!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- You want to look at that? - We'll get...- I'd get that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- You try, Roger, this time. - Go on.- I'll try this time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- You want to do it? - Hold on to it.- OK.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Watch him drop it.- Do your best.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- £75. That's the best. - Is that the lowest he'll go?- It is.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- It is.- 70?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Couldn't do another five, Mike, could you?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- £70?- Please?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Yes, he will do it for 70.- OK. Deal.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Thank you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- I'm going to cry. - Are you? Really?- We've got a deal.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- What's the deal?- £70.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Well done, guys. You've been brilliant contestants.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57You've got a very good chance of doing well on the show.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01'We'll see, Thomas. First, let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08'Roger followed Sean's dream all the way to the plated candlestick
0:20:08 > 0:20:10'at £35.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14'Thomas persuaded the boys to buy the chess set for £50.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19'And their final buy was the Chinese ivory puzzle
0:20:19 > 0:20:21'at £70.'
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- So, you had a great time, yes? - Fantastic.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Now, you spent how much?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28145.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Oh, 155?- 155.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35£155. That's lovely. So you've got £145 of leftover lolly.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Yes. - Thank you. I'll have that, please.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Got that, Seanie. Great.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41How do you see your performance going from here?
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I can either spend the whole lot and really scupper your chances,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48which I'm going to do...
0:20:48 > 0:20:50THEY LAUGH
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Spend it all!- We trust you.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57'Now, Reds, you're almost out of time,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00'and drastic times call for drastic measures.'
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Go away and find your favourite item. Bring them back here.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Only five minutes. Off you go. - OK, then!
0:21:09 > 0:21:11'Right! What's Ann gone for?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14'Ah, the bowl! After some hard bargaining
0:21:14 > 0:21:18'with the ladies downstairs, she managed to get it down
0:21:18 > 0:21:20'from £69 to 62.'
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Got it!
0:21:24 > 0:21:28'The pendant watch for James. He got £2 off the asking price.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34'Last but not least... Ah! Paula's got her glass.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39'It was £38, but she got them down to 35. Well done!'
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Bought three nice items. - I'm really proud of you girls.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Excuse me interrupting you. That's marvellous.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48You spent the whole of £291. Is that right?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- No.- No.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- 111.- 111.- You spent £111?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- That's not so nifty. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You mean to say you bought three items for £111?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Yes, we did. - That's a disgrace, that is!
0:22:02 > 0:22:05So, who's got the £189 of leftover lolly?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- I have.- Have you?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Well done, Ann. Thank you very much.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- You'd get a few blow-drys for that, wouldn't you?- You would!
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Paula would know all about that. Here we go.- Thank you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19There's your blow-dry money. What are you going to do with it, James?
0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Blow the lot, I hope? - I think we've got one weak item.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27I think I need to put on a bit of mileage with the last one.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I hope so. Something big and silvery.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Well, good luck with that, James, and good luck, girls.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36They're going to have a cup of tea to restore themselves,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39and we're heading off to sunny Hampshire to see a house
0:22:39 > 0:22:42that's had a bit of restoration too.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Oh, no, we're not in a museum of antiquities.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Nor are we in Egypt.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54We're in Hinton Ampner.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- HE CHUCKLES - This house is full of surprises,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09not the least of which, here in the library,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13is the extensive use of porphyry.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Now, porphyry is an exotic and rare mineral,
0:23:18 > 0:23:22that at one time was thought only to exist in Egypt.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26It's this deep purple,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29white-flecked stone
0:23:29 > 0:23:32that you see all around this room.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37It's relevant if you're furnishing in the Georgian style
0:23:37 > 0:23:40because, of course, it was in 1797
0:23:40 > 0:23:43when Napoleon invaded Egypt
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and threatened the British Empire in India,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49that led to Nelson beating up the French
0:23:49 > 0:23:54at the Battle of the Nile and basically saving the day.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58As a result, a lot of late-18th-century furniture
0:23:58 > 0:24:02and objects reflect the Egyptian style.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06For example, here we've got a black basalt centrepiece
0:24:06 > 0:24:08made by Josiah Wedgwood
0:24:08 > 0:24:12that absolutely is Egypt in your face,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15with these sphinx-like supports.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24The collection was put together in the early part of the 20th century
0:24:24 > 0:24:25by Lord Ralph Dutton.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Here in the dining room, the most prominent piece of furniture
0:24:34 > 0:24:36is this mahogany beauty.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42It displays Egypto-revival style in spades.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45It was designed by Thomas Hope.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47It shows its Egyptian influence,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51for example here, with its sphinx-like masks,
0:24:51 > 0:24:56which are inset into a variety of the corners.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00At the top of the pedestal we seem to have a cupboard,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02but actually, if I press it in like this,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06most unusually, these swing out
0:25:06 > 0:25:10to reveal a series of apertures for cutlery.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Down below there's a cupboard door,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17which appears to enclose some standard drawers,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20except the bottom couple of drawers are joined together,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23and inside they're divided
0:25:23 > 0:25:26specifically to receive spirit decanters.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I particularly like this wine cooler
0:25:30 > 0:25:33that's in the form of an oddball trolley.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37It's lined with lead, so that it would take the ice
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and the bottles that you're trying to cool down.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43In this end pedestal,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47we've got a similar arrangement with the cutlery arrangement, look,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50and down below, another cupboard,
0:25:50 > 0:25:55this time lined with tin, ready to receive plates
0:25:55 > 0:25:58and red-hot charcoal to warm them.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It's a magnificent object, isn't it?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03What would it be worth today?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Well, very difficult to value, I can tell you,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09because this thing has to be jolly nearly unique.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12What we do know is, though,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14that Ralph Dutton invested heavily in this.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19The bombs were falling all over London
0:26:19 > 0:26:21during the Second World War,
0:26:21 > 0:26:23and he bought it for £8.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27£8!
0:26:27 > 0:26:32So difficult was it to remove furniture and store it,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34and anyway, half the stuff was being blown up,
0:26:34 > 0:26:39that nobody wanted large pieces like this.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Of course, the big question today is,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45will our teams generate a pharaoh's riches
0:26:45 > 0:26:47over at the auction.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Well, we've flitted across the country to Lichfield -
0:27:04 > 0:27:08sunny Lichfield Auction Centre, to be precise,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12at Richard Winterton's auctions. Richard, how are you?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Very well, Tim. Yourself? - Very fit.- Excellent.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Firing on all cylinders, and longing to find out
0:27:18 > 0:27:21what you've got to say about this lime-green St Lambert
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Belgian modernist piece of glass. - I quite like it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30You might look at me funny, but I actually quite like that sort of style.
0:27:30 > 0:27:35Listen, would I look funny at you because you like one of our contestant's lots?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38No, I would not. Funnily enough, I rather like it, too.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41In its place it could be super, couldn't it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Well, it's 19-... Spot-on 19-... Late '60s, '70s.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50It is etched in, the name, in the bottom, but we can't quite read it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- What's your estimate? - 30, 40, quite comfortable.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55OK. £35 paid.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Ann and Paula both loved it, and I think they're absolutely right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Then the absolute contrast... - PEOPLE CHATTER
0:28:02 > 0:28:05They're a bit rowdy in here! The absolute contrast
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- is this thing...- Ghastly! - ..a typical late-Victorian... - Ghastly!- ..transfer-print.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Ghastly!- All right. We got three "ghastly"s in a trot there.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17It's the sort of thing we put in a box of odds, to be blunt with it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- On its own...- Yeah, OK. How much?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Well, I'm going to put ten to 15 to be kind on it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27We might just scrape it, but it doesn't do anything for me at all.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- I don't believe this. £62 they paid. - Oh!
0:28:31 > 0:28:33And the other tasteful thing
0:28:33 > 0:28:37is the mother-of-pearl-cased ladies' fob watch. Do you rate that?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41It's just a nice little, commercial little watch.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It does, again, what it says.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47It's neat, tidy, easy to read. It's OK. It's all right.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- How much for that one?- We've gone about 30, 40 for that one.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54That's all right. We'll get money back off that. £14 they paid.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Oh, that was a good buy.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59So, what with the speculation of the '60s glass
0:28:59 > 0:29:02and the profit that we're anticipating
0:29:02 > 0:29:05that they will make on the fob watch,
0:29:05 > 0:29:10maybe this blue business won't be such a disaster after all.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14But just to make quite sure, let's check out the bonus buy.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Now, Ann and Paula, you gave the lovely James Braxton
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- £189 of leftover lolly.- We did.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- James, you're straining there. - Yeah. I'm struggling here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Copper Braxton's done it again.- Oh!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Wow!- Look at that! That's a thumper!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- That's a beauty!- It certainly is.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35You could get some spaghetti in there.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- It's extremely heavy. - That is weight.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- Do you want me to help you? - Brass and copper.- Oh, my gosh!
0:29:41 > 0:29:45- Feel that, darling.- Whoo!- Is that...
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Is that heavy?- It's heavy, heavy. - You try that for weight, darling.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Ooh, it is!
0:29:50 > 0:29:54It'll pull a little one like you right over!
0:29:54 > 0:29:57We'll shove it down there. Is it going to stay upright?
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- No, it won't stay upright. There we go.- Perfect.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- It's gorgeous. - How old do you think it is, James?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Probably 1920. 1910, 1920.- Right.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09So early 20th century. Do you like it, Ann?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Yes, I do. I think it's very, very nice.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- And what about you, Paula? - Yes. I like it as well.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I've always been a fan of copper. How much did you pay for it, James?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19£55.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Right. How much do you think it would fetch in auction?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I think hopefully between 50 to 100.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- I can't see it making under £40. - Yeah. Well, there you go, girls.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- I like it. - It's pretty good, isn't it, for £55,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35to buy something quite so substantial.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- You're quite keen on it? - Yes. We like it, yes.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Wait and see how you get on with the first three items,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:42 > 0:30:44about Braxton's jam pan.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Hubble, bubble!- I know you're going to hand it to me.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Yeah! You feeling strong? Because it's heavy.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- Ooh, look at that!- Fantastic.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- Isn't that marvellous?- Yeah.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So, we've got a copper pan,
0:30:58 > 0:31:02we've got a bell-metal handle. It's all been tinned,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06so you could use it for cooking. Do you like a bit of home-made jam?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Certainly in this. It's fantastic.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12- I'd like us to get on with it. It's heavy.- I'll take it back.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14OK. Kitchenalia is everything, right?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- How much for this one?- I think we're 50 to 70 quite comfortable.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20OK. £55. Yeah. Spot-on.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- James Braxton loves a bit of heavy metal.- Spot-on.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26And he's got it now. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues,
0:31:26 > 0:31:30Roger and Sean. Their first item is the candlestick.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34They just had to have this candlestick, and here it is.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It's the sort of thing we see all the time. It's a standard item.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Nothing much more to be said on it. - How much?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- 30 to 40 all day long, really. - £35 paid.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- So they didn't pay too much for that.- No.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48What about the chess set? Is that all complete?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52It is, yes. It's loaded, as well, which is nice.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Which means it's got a lead weight in the bottom?- Yes,
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- so it's a bit more quality in there. - It's a proper job, isn't it?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Oh, yes. That would've been expensive when new.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Yeah. But no label on the box,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and no stamps on the individual pieces. So, how much, then?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Er, we've gone 70-90,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13and I don't know if we're a bit optimistic on that one,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I have to say. It would certainly be 50 plus.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20Yeah. Well, it's always better to check, isn't it...mate?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22HE CHUCKLES
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- 70 to 90 is the official estimate. £50 was paid...- That's all right.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30..by our venturesome boys, so that's OK, isn't it?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32They should make a nice profit on that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35And what about the Chinese ivory puzzle job?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- There's a lot of work in this, you know.- Yeah.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42- I counted seven balls in there. - Seven balls within the ball!
0:32:42 > 0:32:46And when you think that starts out as one solid lump of ivory -
0:32:46 > 0:32:48I mean, not much fun for the elephant,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52but from there on in, the Chinese have done a complete whiz on that.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Oh, superb. - Seven balls within the ball!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- How do you rate it? - We've gone 50 to 80,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- and it will be comfortably top end of that.- Right.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- They paid 70, so it needs to get there.- We'll be OK.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I think this team aren't going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:06 > 0:33:09but we're going to have a look at it anyway.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Right, Roger, Sean. Here comes the £145 moment.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14What did you spend it on, Tom?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Very pretty. A little enamel box.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21This is beautifully done.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Guilloche enamel and then some champleve around,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26on a gilt metal, circa 1920s.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29But an extremely pretty item.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Right.- Very attractive.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Very commercial in today's world. - OK. And how much did you pay for it?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38A very small amount of money. £90.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- 90?- These items, these small enamel boxes, are extremely collectable,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47with the enamel on the top, and what's going for it, it's perfect.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- And what would it be used for? - Oh, it's a little pin box,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- needles, etc.- Pills.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Pills. But you've got a mirror in there,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- so powder, like a little compact. - It seems to be a bit of a hit, Tom.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03That's lovely. We've absorbed all that knowledge.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05You don't choose now. You choose later.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Why don't we find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:08 > 0:34:10about Tom's little dressing-up box?
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Well, I'm jiggered! That's a good bit of enamel. Look at that!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Yeah. Sweet thing, isn't it? - Oh, charming!
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- Is it silver? - It's not, no. It's a gilt metal,
0:34:22 > 0:34:24which is surprising, with the amount of work on the top.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Well, quite! I mean, the quality of that enamel
0:34:27 > 0:34:30would justify it being in gold or silver gilt,
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- but not just gilt metal. - No.- How much?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36We've gone 40 to 50, which I think is very conservative.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39You think it could make a bit more? Well, it needs to make 90,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- to make Thomas Plant a happy man. - It's a touch-and-go one, really.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47So, touch and go! We'll soon find out. Thank you, Richard.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- All right, you guys? Happy? - Yeah, yeah.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Looking forward to it? - Oh, yes, very much so.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05This is an exciting saleroom when it goes well,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09which I have a funny feeling it might be today.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13First up is the Val St Lambert bowl, and here it comes.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16The Lambert-studio glass bowl there,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19circa late '60s, early '70s.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- £10 to start. - Oh, yes, it's worth £10!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Five. 30. £30 I'm bid. 30.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Five. 35. The lady on my left at 35.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- 35. 35.- Come on!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34£35 I'm bid. At 35. We have 40?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- Come on!- Come on!
0:35:36 > 0:35:39All finished at £35?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- That's it. £35. - It's all right.- No shame in that.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45That's fine. Now the jardiniere. Oh, dear.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Lot 159.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50£5 start.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52THEY GASP No!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Anyone for £5? Five!
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Ten. 15.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59£15.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0320. £20. Right here at £20.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- Oh...- What was that?- 62.
0:36:05 > 0:36:10£30. At £30. Right here at £30.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11At £30. £30.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- 35.- Ooh, yes!
0:36:14 > 0:36:1635. No?
0:36:16 > 0:36:2135. At the back at 35. Sold at 35.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26£35 is five short of... I think that's minus 27 on that, girls.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Oh, dear!- 27.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Not so hot. Are you going to make it all back on the fob watch?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35The ladies' fob watch there. Mother-of-pearl there.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38£10 to start me.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41£10. £10 I'm bid. £10, £10.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45At £10 I'm bid. £12. £15. £20.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- 25.- This is nice.
0:36:47 > 0:36:5125. Right, then. At 25. At £25 I'm bid. To the lady, then.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- We want more!- We need more.- £30.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56No? £30. On my left at £30.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59We have five? All sold.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01£30.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Going.
0:37:02 > 0:37:07£30 is plus 16. You were 27 behind. You're minus 11.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Are you going to go with the saucepan?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- We've got to go with it. - You're going with it? Definitely?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16I think you're going to need to boil up something.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- Oh, James!- Anyway, here it comes.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22The copper and the brass saucepan now.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Commission bids in. I'm in at £30.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27At £30 I'm bid. The saucepan at £30.
0:37:27 > 0:37:2935. £40. 45.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33£50. £50. I'm bid at £50.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- At £50. - Oh, James! James, it's sticking.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Come on!- All finished?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Sold at 50.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- THEY GROAN - 50. I can't believe that.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- No. It's worth more than that. - It is.- Definitely worth more.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- They're not discerning customers. - It was 55. You're minus five.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Yes! Minus 16.- I can't believe that.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Anyway, overall, girls, you are minus 16,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01which could be a winning score. As we know on Bargain Hunt,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- that could easily be a winning score.- Are you winking?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06No, I'm not. It could be a winning score.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Could it?- Honestly. Seriously, darling. No wink.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Straight face. It could be a winning score.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- I'll take your word for it. - Just don't talk to the Blues.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- As if.- Not a word. - Not a word, Paula. No. Lovely.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Are you going to be as sharp as your shoes are
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- as far as profit's concerned? - I think so, yes.- Definitely.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Two sharp ones here, I tell you. You're confident?- Yes.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37You wouldn't want to swap anything that you bought?
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Apart from him.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43You don't want to swap anything? You're confident with your things?
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Yeah.- Well, I know you're obsessed, Sean, with the candlestick.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Yes?- I'll never live it down if I make a loss on that candlestick.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54You'll be all right. The auctioneer thinks it's worth 30 to 40.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58You paid £35, so you should be lucky with that. Here it comes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02The Old Sheffield plate candlestick there, 19th century.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Where will we start, then? £20?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07£10 to go?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09No bid on my book. £10, the candlestick.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Who's going to come in? £10? £10? Don't want to go any lower. £5?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Five I've got. £5 I'm bid, the candlestick.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21At £5. At £5 only. At five. £8. £8. £10.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Now we're waking. £10. £12.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- £15.- Come on!- £20.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30£20 I'm bid. £20. Centre of the room, at £20.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33At £20. Everyone else out?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- That dream wasn't any good!- All sold?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38£20. To you, sir, in the centre, at 20.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- Minus £15. You're fired, mate. - This is nice. This is lovely.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44It's the treen chess set, then.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48A bit of interest on this. Weighted base. It is complete, as well.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- I'm in at £50. - Yes, quite right. Straight in at 50.
0:39:51 > 0:39:5460. 70 on the right. At £70. I'm bid 70.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59- At 70. At £70. Far right at £70. - We want a bit more.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Sold at 70. Yours at 70.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06That is lovely. That is plus 20. You are plus five.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09All right? You're £5 up. Now, here comes the ball.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Lot 179,
0:40:11 > 0:40:14again, the bid's on the book with £50 bid.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Yeah.- 50. 60. 70.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21At £70. 80 at the back. At £80. I'm bid at 80.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- Profit. £20 profit.- 90. 100.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25- £30 profit.- 100.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28At £100. I'm bid at 100.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Back of the room at 100. - That's what I like.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- All finished? Sold at 100.- Yes!
0:40:33 > 0:40:38Plus 30. You are plus £35 overall, team.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40That is what you call folding money, isn't it?
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Very nice. Spend £155 and make £35, straight up.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buy,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- that old box? - No. We're not going to go.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- You're not?- I don't think we should. - Just on the chance?
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- No.- You're not going to do it? - I'll listen to him.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Sean, you would be there, wouldn't you?- I'd be there.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02We're going to sell it anyway, and here it comes.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06The cosmetic box there, the enamel lid.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Seven bids on the book.- Hey!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10We are in at 70. £70.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13At £70. At 70.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1680. 90. £90. With me at £90.
0:41:16 > 0:41:1990. At £90. Lot of bids all round there at £90.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22We have 100. At £90 with me.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25All sold at £90.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Whoo-hoo-hoo!- Wiped its face.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Well done, Tom. On another day that would've made £50 profit.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Yeah.- Anyway, there we go. Good decision, lads.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39£35 in your back pocket. That could be a winning score.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Don't talk to the Reds, all right? All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- What fun! - THEY LAUGH
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Well, teams, we've had a great show, haven't we?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Oh, yes. - Have we had fun? I tell you!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- So, no chatting, then, between you? - No.- No.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02So you absolutely have no idea that the runners-up today are...
0:42:02 > 0:42:04- the Reds.- Ohhh!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Ahhh!- Ohhh!
0:42:08 > 0:42:12I know. You thought that your minus-16 score
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- was going to win you the show today, didn't you?- Yes, we did!
0:42:15 > 0:42:19You got that lovely profit on the little fob watch, which was super,
0:42:19 > 0:42:22but not enough, I'm afraid, to stem the flow.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Particularly not from this lot over here,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29because they've been flowing! They are going to go home
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- with £35 of real money.- Gosh!
0:42:32 > 0:42:36That is folding money to take away, isn't it?
0:42:36 > 0:42:40£30 profit on that puzzle ball. Lovely!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43£20 profit on the chess set. Lovely!
0:42:43 > 0:42:48- And a loss, Sean...- Ssh! - ..on your plated candlestick.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52But seriously, apart from that, that was absolutely super.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- No profit, no loss on the bonus buy. - No.- Nothing to ascribe there.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- Have you had a nice time, chaps? - Fantastic.- Very good, isn't it?
0:42:59 > 0:43:03To walk away from Bargain Hunt with £35 profit is a considerable achievement,
0:43:03 > 0:43:06as we all know. Well done for that. We've loved having you on the show.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10We've had a great day. Join us soon for more bargain hunting! Yes?
0:43:10 > 0:43:13THEY ALL SHOUT Yes!
