0:00:03 > 0:00:07Fancy a stroll across a meadow looking for wildlife?
0:00:07 > 0:00:08QUACKING
0:00:08 > 0:00:09No?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Then let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Stamford Meadows may provide the scenic backdrop to today's fair,
0:00:39 > 0:00:42but our teams can't afford to hang about,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45because their shopping experience only lasts one hour.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Here's what's coming up.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Our teams get stuck in.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55What's this?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- These old Saxon relics. - Can I have a feel?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Thank you, sir. We will be back.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02It gets exciting at auction.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04100, 200, 300...
0:01:05 > 0:01:06He's like the cat that got the cream!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09THEY CHEER
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Who wins? Not telling!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So, it's age versus beauty today.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20- We'll come to the beauty bit later and start with these two old boys. - Thank you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Gerard, was it football that brought you two together?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27It was. Stephen used to play in the same football team as me, only the year below.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It's a job, your football, isn't it?- It is now, yes.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- I'm assistant manager for Weldon United.- Gosh.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And what do you collect? Bit of silver? Bit of jewellery?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Bit of silver, bit of jewellery. - Bit of football?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Football memorabilia I enjoy as well.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Stephen, now, I hear you're pretty handy on the pitch.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's not for me to say, but yeah, I'm not too bad.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52It says here you're a minor celebrity in Stamford.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- I mean, that's an accolade, isn't it?- Yes.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I used to play for Stamford Football Club a few years ago.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Semi-professionally. Don't hide your whatnot under a bushel, mate.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm just too modest to boast about such a thing.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- And your nickname is Eggy. - It is, yes.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Why is that? Is it Egg on Facebook?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I can never remember 100% where it came from.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20It's just a name that stuck with me and I've had it ever since.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What do you do for a living, Eggy?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I'm an electrical engineer for a shopfitting firm.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We build make-up stands.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30You get to go up and down the country.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34I'm actually, next week, going to Madrid to do a job, so...
0:02:34 > 0:02:36That must be a real struggle(!)
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yeah, it's a hard job but someone's got to do it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Now, you've got the gift of the gab, it says here.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Is that the strategy? He's the negotiator?- Yes.- And you're going to go in for the kill?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I'm the tactician. I'll finish it off once Eggy's done the hard work.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I tell you, this is a phenomenal team.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Now we come across to the beauty department.- Oh, thank you, Tim.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Which make-up store do you work in, darling?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I'd like to work in Eggy's.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03THEY LAUGH
0:03:04 > 0:03:08That's a very good response, I must say, Mavis.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- No wonder they call you "Mave the Rave" in the trade.- That's right.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Now, Mavis, seriously, a keyboard brought you two together.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- That's right.- Tell me about it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- I bought a keyboard off the television.- Oh, yeah?
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I couldn't play it so I looked in the paper for somewhere I could learn,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- and I've been with Pauline about four years, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32So you've only been playing the keyboard for four years.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34What sort of grade have you got up to?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Her diploma. She's done her grades. - I've done all the grades.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- You've done all the grades?- Yeah, and now I'm up to diploma standard.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Pauline, you must be the most brilliant teacher!- Sure!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48"Sure", she says, very modestly!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Now, you're a lady of leisure. - Oh, I am.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- All you do is watch Bargain Hunt and go to fairs.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Is that true?- No.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- What do you do?- I watch Bargain Hunt every day religiously. - You've got great taste.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And I go swimming four or five times a week, with Pauline.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Pauline, you go off to these fairs too, don't you, darling?- Oh, yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Do you fight over things when you spot something you both like?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Occasionally.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- She usually wins, though. - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I like that!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- What things do you collect, Pauline?- Hummels, paintings...
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Hummel figures?- Yes. - Those little German figures?- Yes.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Very jolly, aren't they? - They are, very.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28What are you looking out for particularly
0:04:28 > 0:04:29today on the shopping?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Well, I like those nude bronze ladies.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I love those.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Right... - THEY LAUGH
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Now, the money moment. Here we go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Look - £300 apiece.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Oh!- Pauline's perked up on that. - Thank you, sir.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Well done, Gez. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And off you go!
0:04:48 > 0:04:49And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Playing referee for the footie boys is Catherine Southon.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And having a rave with Pauline and Mave is Nick Hall.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Good luck to you, mate!
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- What about sparkly things?- Oh, yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- You like silver and jewellery? - Yes. Silver and jewellery. Victorian jewellery is nice.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Victorian jewellery? Always a good seller.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- So we're thinking retro? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh, goody!
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Look at these weird little things. - What are they?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23The sort of thing you dig up with a metal detector.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- These are from the Saxon period. They're loom weights. - That's where we dug YOU from.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30What do you think about these old Saxon relics?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Can I have a feel?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Have a feel, she said.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- There's another one. - "Spindle whorle", it says.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- With antiques, you don't get anything much earlier than stuff from the Saxon era.- No.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- And they're quirky. - What do you think? Shall we?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- It's not something we'd planned on. - No, not at all.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's like the metal detector's just stumbling across them.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Well, WE'RE relics, so I think we've probably taken to them.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Two old relics. - But priceless, surely.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00There's a whole load of these. Maybe you can buy a bundle of them.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02That's what I was thinking. If we buy all of them...
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You've got a lot of history in your hands.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09What would be your best deal on those for us, please?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- The whole lot?- £18? - Can we do that?- Course you can.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14THEY CONFER
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- £18? Deal? - £18? Deal.- Deal.- We're done.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Thank you very much.- You happy? - Yeah, very happy.- Thanks very much.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24You didn't have a chance against these two.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- HE LAUGHS - Thank you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- So, what do we do?- Pack these up, give this chap some money and go and find two more things.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- OK.- Come on. Well done, you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40And with £282 left, ladies, the fair's your oyster.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Grrr!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Have our boys scored yet?
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- We've had ten minutes. We haven't even got a smidge of interest.- No.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51What about railwayana?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54All that stuff would be quite collectible.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Yeah. Railwayana.- £275?!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That's very uncool. Very uncool.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Oh, I like it! Very unCoole! Very good.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Choo-choo, Gez, eh? Ooh!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Anything floating your boat? - Just the telephone.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Yes, ever so buoyant, phones.
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Excited about that?- It's excited me more than anything else so far.- OK.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- We've still got plenty of time, haven't we?- It's quite a narrow market for something like that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- RINGING It's working. - There we are. Hello!
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- Hello? - BELL CLANGS
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's telling you, "Come and buy me."
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- Probably better to look inside before we make this purchase. - Yeah, let's carry on.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- I like this sapphire one. - Yeah, or these amber. - Lovely, aren't they?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Presumably the settings are modern
0:07:47 > 0:07:51but the amber, of course, is exceptionally old.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- They're a lovely colour. - They are beautiful things.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- People do like amber, of course.- Yeah.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Are you tempted to have a go at a bit of amber, maybe?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I like this one. What do you think?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Actually, that's jumping out at me.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Do you mind if we have a look at it?- Of course you can.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Mavis, what do you think? - It is nice, isn't it?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- How much is that?- £30.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14- Ooh, no.- No.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18What can you tell us about the certificates and the authenticity of the amber?
0:08:18 > 0:08:23This amber came from Poland. It was brought over by a Polish friend who married an Englishman.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27She brought over a lot of this stuff. It's all designer-made.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Do you like it enough? - Do you like this enough? - Yeah, I do like it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- What would be your best price on here?- Let me have a look, please. Thank you.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I could do it for £27, but I couldn't go any lower than that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- HE WHISPERS - Try £20.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- What about £20?- Sorry.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43£25?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Go on, then. I'll do it for £25. OK?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Item two bought?- £25. - Well done. What a team.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Somewhere to go, Nick?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Come on, slow down, ladies. We'll have no show at this rate.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Fifteen minutes gone.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- You sound like you're losing the will to live. - Just haven't found anything yet.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- If I buy something, I'll be happy. - Don't worry, you will.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Once you buy your first item, your spirits are lifted.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13You go, coach!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16We've got a lot of time and money left, so...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Yeah, £257 of it, to be precise.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Why don't we look at some of the punchier stalls with a bigger, more expensive variety of things?
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- See if there's something you can find, and maybe we can have a look at that.- Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Caught my eye straightaway when I came in.- It's attractive.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It is very attractive.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Don't drop it, Stephen.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- It's a transfer print. Is there anything underneath?- There is a marking.- Can't quite see.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Underneath.- Continental.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Probably not much more than 40 years old.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Bought it in a sale, but very pretty.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- It's very decorative.- It is. - Very, very decorative.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- Pricewise I can do... - I'm really surprised at that.- £75.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Yeah. This is brass, isn't it, on the side?- Yes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06The thing it's got going for it is it looks very beautiful and it looks older than it actually is.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- I'm surprised you went for this because you said you liked retro. - I know. I'm capable of anything.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Not really retro.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18It is very pretty, very decorative, but it's about 40, 50 years old.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Can you not try and come down a bit more on that?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I will do £70, but that is...
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Don't even ask any more.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- £68?- No! - SHE LAUGHS
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- It does look nice but... - It looks the part but...
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Whether it's going to fetch anything in an auction... - £69. I've met you halfway.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- I've got to make something on it. - I think we should take the risk. - That's fair enough.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Do you really like that? - Yeah, I do like it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49It's not what I thought you would go for in the slightest, but there we are.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Full of surprises. - You are, totally.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Let's do this.- Let's do this. - OK, let's go for it.- For £69. - First item.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- First item?- Yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00£69? Deal.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07So, Gez gets the ball rolling for the Reds. Hah! Not retro but repro.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Yesterday.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Oh! A little doodah.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12What is this, please?
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Well, you know the stereo viewers, where you look through two...- Yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Well, this one's got a curved mirror,
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- so if you look through there... - Oh, yeah!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Can you see that it looks 3-D?- Yes.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- "London. Bank and Royal Exchange." - Yeah!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Oh, yeah. Lovely. Where's Nick?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Oh, you found us. - What have you got? - Victorian old doodahs. You know.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- A Victorian old doodah. Is that a technical term?- Yeah. - I've not come across that one.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- It's a fabulous old thing. - It's a bit out of our reach.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I think we'll have to push on. Come on.- Thank you.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Not going for the Victorian doodah, then?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53We've had 20 minutes. We've bought one item. We still have a lot of work to do.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Hello, hello, chaps. How's it going?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Oh, it's going fine, thanks, Tim.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- How many things have you bought? - One so far and we're 20 minutes in.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- One per 20 minutes.- It's on target. - You're just about on target.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Is there anything you can point us in the direction of? - Am I allowed to do that?- No!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- It was worth an ask. - More than my job's worth!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I like these.- Yeah. - They are... Oh!
0:12:22 > 0:12:27They're heavy. They're wonderful and there's a pair of them, but they're a lot of money.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Japanese ceramics is doing quite well at the minute.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oriental works of art generally are doing well.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35And to have a pair is good.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Are they both the same pattern? - Will you hold one? Let's have a look.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Careful. They're smart things.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- What would you put in them? - You wouldn't put anything in them.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48You'd put them on a mantelpiece or a shelf. They're ornamental. There's no function.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Are they both the same pattern? - You can see the thickness of the potting on there.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- There's a good quality about them. - Feel that, Pauline. - I think they're gorgeous.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- They're nice things. There's a price here on them. - What does the ticket say?- £265.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04How much?!
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- How much does the auction man say? - But everything's negotiable.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11And you've got £250-odd to spend.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- It's whether you like them or not. - I do. I think they're gorgeous.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- They're Manchurian.- Yeah, which is one of the Japanese periods.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- 1932, the year I was born. - There you are. That's a good omen.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26You need to have a chat and just see...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28What's your best deal?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The very, very, very, very best...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I'll have to look. - THEY LAUGH
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Wait for it. - She's got to consult the oracle.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Ah, the suspense!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Art Deco. You wanted Art Deco, didn't you?- We did, actually, yeah.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Full working order.- £75.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Not bad.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52It's got the steps.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Geometric Art Deco 1930s look.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- I just feel it's a bit... - You want a bit more from it.- Yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Um... Our best is £200.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Ooh.- Couldn't do it for £180, could you?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10TIM: You go, Mave!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13It'd be lovely if you could. It's a bit too much for us.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17How about if we split the difference and we do them for £190?
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- What do you think, Nick?- What do you reckon?- Would £185 clinch it?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- OK, Nick, £185.- What do you think?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27An important decision. It's up to you.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29£185 for the pair. What do you think?
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Yeah?- Are you going to do it?- Yeah. - Are you sure?- Deal.- Go on.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39The Oriental vases complete Mave and Pauline's trio.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43You have done so well. That's all three buys in half an hour.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Whoopee!
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I don't know why I bother giving some people an hour.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- That gives us time now to go and find a coffee. - Wonderful.- Brilliant.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Well shopped.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Well, we'll see about that at the auction, Nick, old boy.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59BIG BEN CHIMES
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Ah! Time to rejoin our Reds.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Enchanting. - VENDOR:- Beautiful period chimes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- It's so 1930s, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- I like it, Catherine. I think that's a good find, Eggy. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'd be prepared to pay £50.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Would you, Catherine?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Yes, it's perfectly fine,
0:15:19 > 0:15:24but it's just that... it's not uncommon, is what I would say.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26But if you like it...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29It's totally different from that ostentatious...
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- We keep going back to the jug. - The jug. What would you like to do?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Go for it, Stephen. That's one all. We've got one each then.- OK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Deal. Thank you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42So, Eggy scores an equaliser.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Now, will you have a shot, Catherine?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46What's this?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- TIM MIMICS HER - "What's this?"
0:15:49 > 0:15:52You're on fire now.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56You wanted retro. Look at that. A little egg-cup stand.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58There's no enthusiasm, is there?
0:15:58 > 0:16:001930s Bakelite.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04This splits so easily, and these are all in lovely condition.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05I think that's quite rare.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- What's your best on that?- £45.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10- Can you come down a bit more on that?- No, I won't.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I quite like it, so I don't mind if I don't sell it.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Have a look.- It's a team decision.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I think, if that was on the internet,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20people might get excited about it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- You're really not excited about it. - He's not.- There's no enthusiasm.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- I actually quite like it. - I'm excited that you're excited.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- VENDOR:- You want to try one for size?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31How lovely is that!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- It fits. - It fits beautifully, nice and snug.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I hope it's not a fake. - Gez is not keen.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43- I'm prepared to take a risk. - I really, really thought you'd go for these because of the retro.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48And you've gone for some ostentatious, Continental,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51not particularly old pitcher and jug.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55- This is really... - Sorry I've let you down.- No, no!
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- We're going to have a look. - We're going to have a look. - I'm quite happy to come back.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Thank you, sir. We will be back.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05It's been lovely, hasn't it?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09We whipped round there like greased lightning, the three of us.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yeah, you just chillax.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14I liked the phone that we'd seen earlier on.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Oh, your Bakelite...
0:17:15 > 0:17:19See, that was Bakelite. That's why I thought... Bakelite.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22See? I've got an eye for it but...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Did you prefer that phone?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- No, I did not prefer that phone. - No, no.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I just think that's so much more commercial, don't you think?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Cor, that girl's persuasive!
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- I'm happy with the egg cups. - Your choice.- Team decision. - Team decision.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Well, let's take a vote.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42I'm with egg cups.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Catherine?- I'm with egg cups.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47I guess it doesn't matter what I think, then.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Bit of a rout.- Yeah, egg cups is my vote. Let's go for the egg cups.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Excuse me, sir. We would like to purchase these for £45.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Your beautiful egg cups. - Thank you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Well done, chaps. Put it there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Thank you.- Put it there. We are done, with ten minutes to spare.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I'm happy with that. Come on, let's go and have a cup of tea.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Goal! The Reds have got their hat trick.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15And, as the final whistle blows...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17WHISTLE
0:18:17 > 0:18:18..here's the replay.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Gerard kicked things off,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25spending £69 on the jug and bowl.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27CROWD CHEERS
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- Then Stephen struck... - WHISTLE
0:18:29 > 0:18:32..a deal on the Deco clock.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Then Catherine fell...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36for the egg cups, at £45.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38CROWD CHEERS
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I think you're pretty hard-boiled about this, you two. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I don't see any double-yolkers here anyway.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- Now, are these egg cups going to do any good or not?- Yes! You would love them.- Apparently so.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- "Apparently so"? Ye Doubting Thomas.- Yes.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Which is your favourite piece? - Mine is the jug.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- What about you, Stephen? - I like the clock.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- You're all against me now! - No, they're not.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- The cups are a close second. - They love you, really.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- How much did you spend overall? - We spent £164.- Well done, Gerard.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- So, £164. I want £136, please. - Got it right here.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14£136 is an average amount, I suppose.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's still a lot, I think.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- Thank you. Plus the small change. This is going straight to you, Catherine.- Thank you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I hope you're going to go and spend it all.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Buy something that they really don't want.- Do us proud.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31No, I will do them proud, actually. That's what I'm going to do.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I'll be particularly nice because they have been so well-behaved.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- You're too kind.- I'm glad you had a good time. Good luck, Catherine.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42We're going to remind ourselves right now what the Blues bought.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Mavis and Pauline dealt out a massive £18
0:19:48 > 0:19:51for medieval loom weights.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Wow.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Pauline got the amber bracelet
0:19:54 > 0:19:57for a knock-down price of £25.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Then the girls splashed out, spending £185
0:20:02 > 0:20:05on not one but two Oriental vases.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07We're very pleased.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12You're not getting too self-congratulatory about how wonderfully well you've done?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- No.- No.- No?- Of course not.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20My favourite piece is the Japanese vases.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22OK. What about you, Mave the Rave?
0:20:22 > 0:20:27I couldn't make up my mind between the vases and the stones. I think I'll stick with the vases.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- You're not going with those stones? - No. Unless they make us a lot.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- In which case you'll change your mind. - They're a bit ancient, like me.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Oh, I don't know. I think you're in the first flush, Mave.
0:20:38 > 0:20:44- Were they difficult to control, these girls?- They were an absolute breeze, but naughty. Very naughty.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- Funny, the older they get, the naughtier they become. - The worse they come.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Must be something in the water.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- How much did you spend, girls? - £228.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58You spent £228. I would like £72 of leftover lolly, please.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- I thought we kept that for ourselves.- No, no, you don't keep that for yourself.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03THEY LAUGH
0:21:03 > 0:21:06See what I mean? Getting worse, this.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- £72.- Thank you, Tim.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13You're going to detach yourself from your team for a few precious moments, Nick, to find a bonus buy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- Very good luck with that. - Get something good!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I bet you girls will go off and have a quick sherry now. - We will.- I thought so.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Good luck with that. We're heading off to the flatlands of Cheshire.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Descendants of the Warburton family
0:21:32 > 0:21:35have lived at Arley for more than 500 years.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37In 1774, Sir Peter Warburton
0:21:37 > 0:21:40inherited Arley Hall and its estate.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Just look at the scale of this portrait of Sir Peter Warburton.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54This is the ultimate in sophisticated late-18th-century portraiture.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Here we see Sir Peter as what he was,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02a solid and reliable local landowner.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07Painted by the sophisticated portrait painter, Sir William Beechey,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11this is a man who sits in his estates in Cheshire
0:22:11 > 0:22:13and is proud of his position.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16He looks like a solid and reliable fellow,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21and I particularly like his Denis Healey eyebrows.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26And just look at what a good silken ankle he turns.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31One of the lovely things about ancestral portraits in a place like Arley
0:22:31 > 0:22:33is that they have such variety.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45In this room we've got a lovely run
0:22:45 > 0:22:49of four relatively naively painted pictures
0:22:49 > 0:22:52by a local artist, Thomas Stringer.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54He was based in Knutsford
0:22:54 > 0:22:58and specialised in equine - or horsey - subjects.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01All four of these pictures, therefore,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05record horses in a variety of situations.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08They're naively painted because, if you look at them,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10the brushwork and detail
0:23:10 > 0:23:14is nothing like as fine, say, as that Beechey portrait.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18But the link between them is Sir Peter Warburton.
0:23:18 > 0:23:24The squire commissioned Stringer to paint all four of these pictures,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27and, as a hunting Cheshire man,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31he went out with the local hounds all the time.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33In these two pictures,
0:23:33 > 0:23:37we've got hunters being restrained by their grooms.
0:23:37 > 0:23:43Stringer is known to have painted horses outside the local pub,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47and Sir Peter is known to have ridden into Knutsford after hunting
0:23:47 > 0:23:49to refresh himself.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54So it's quite likely that either one or both of these horses
0:23:54 > 0:23:57were used by Sir Peter to come back to Arley
0:23:57 > 0:24:00after he'd finished in the pub.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02No breathalyser. Ah!
0:24:02 > 0:24:05The two pictures on this side
0:24:05 > 0:24:08show Sir Peter's sister and his brother-in-law,
0:24:08 > 0:24:13rather more sophisticated poses, particularly her.
0:24:13 > 0:24:18And what I like about Stringer's portrayal of her chestnut is,
0:24:18 > 0:24:21just look at the size of that horse's head.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26And the size of the head indicates that Stringer was aware
0:24:26 > 0:24:32of the Arab bloodline that first came into Britain in the 1720s
0:24:32 > 0:24:36with, for example, the Godolphin Arab stallion.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39The time has come, methinks,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43for us to saddle up and trot off to the auction
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- and see how our teams are getting on. - HE NEIGHS
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We've trotted down to Market Harborough
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- to be with Mark Gilding, our auctioneer. Mark, good morning. - Good morning, Tim.
0:25:00 > 0:25:06First up is this so-called flamboyant metal-mounted jug and basin set.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Well, it's good-looking. Not very old.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12- Where do you think it was made? - In the Far East somewhere.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Yesterday?- Yes. Or the day before. - Day before yesterday.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- What's your saleroom estimate? - £40 to £60.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Oh, Lord. It gets worse, then.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Yes. I think that'll be a struggle. - Dear, oh dear.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- Next is the Art Deco clock.- OK.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Very much of the suburban 1930s.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33It is, yeah. Good chime.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- How much for that one?- £40 to £60. - OK. They paid £50.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- There we go. Sort of on the cusp.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43And same period, something to thrill the Bakelite collectors.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- Look at that. - Yeah. It doesn't thrill me.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49At least it's got some colour to it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53And there is something of the style icon about it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- I see where you're coming from. - I like a two-minute egg myself.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- How much, then?- £20 to £30. - £45 they've paid.- Oh, dear.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I think it'll be a struggle for them and they'll need their bonus buy,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07so let's have a look at it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13- Now, Stephen and Gerard, you spent £164, yes?- Correct.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17£136 went to Catherine Southon. She has bought something stunning.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Now, Gerard, would you do us a favour and flip the rag off
0:26:21 > 0:26:25to reveal what Catherine has spent the £164 on?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Now, this is what one...
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Can I ask you to hold it? Are you all right holding? It's pretty heavy.- I've got it.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34This is what one would call - it's silver-plated -
0:26:34 > 0:26:37an entree dish or a serving dish.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41So if we take this off here, we can see that it's got its original...
0:26:41 > 0:26:42which is rather nice.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- This bit comes out.- The glass liner.- All that comes off,
0:26:45 > 0:26:46and that comes off.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49And that's its little burner.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53So, Catherine, correct me. You put that with the Pyrex lining in it,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56bung that thing back on top,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and there it will remain,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- perfectly toasted, until you're ready to eat.- Nice and warm.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I think this is probably 1930s in date, Art Deco.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Do you like it? I think it's really stylish.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- I like it. - How do you feel about it?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13It... seems like a nice piece. I'm quite happy with it.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Do you need to ask Catherine how much profit it's going to make?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Is it going to make us a profit?
0:27:18 > 0:27:23I spent a nice round £100 on it, which is quite a lot of money.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24It is quite punchy,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27but I think, if we've got the right crowd here, it might do well.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30And in my experience these have done well at auction.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Really?- Yes.- You don't sound too confident.- No, I am, honestly!
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Quietly confident. I think it might just take off.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38You don't have to decide now.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41You decide later, after you've sold your first three items.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43For the audience at home,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47let's hear what the auctioneer thinks of Catherine's entree dish.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49A bit of kedgeree, Mark?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Yeah, This is a fairly typical entree dish.- It certainly is.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56You've got the glass liner, though, and you've got the burner.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- The problem is, it's only in silver plate.- Yeah, it is.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03And, frankly, who is going to have that all set up?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Do you think it's a runner? - I don't, no.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09I think formal dining is very much out at the minute
0:28:09 > 0:28:11and these things are difficult to find buyers for.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14There you go. That's got that well and truly sorted.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17So how much do you think, Mark, in the auction?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19£30. On a good day, £40.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21£100 Catherine paid.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- Well...- £100. So, with any luck, the team won't go with it.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Now for the Blues.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33First item for them is these so-called Saxon lead weights.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Yes.- Said to be from weaving. - Could be from anything.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41- Could be from fishing. - They could be from fishing.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- One thing's for certain: they're weights.- They are weights.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46And they are made of lead.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- They could be medieval.- Yeah.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Or they could be... I don't know... 1920s.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54It's so difficult to tell the age of these things.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- What's the estimate?- £20 to £30. - Very sensible. £18 paid.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- So it's not a lot, is it?- No.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Next is the amber and silver little bracelet.- Yes.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- How old is that, do you think? - Not very old at all.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Certainly not medieval, though. - No, certainly not medieval.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Perhaps 10 or 15 years ago? Maybe last year?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- I think that's a fair assumption. - OK. Pretty little bracelet.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- How much for it?- £40 to £60. - OK. £25 paid.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- So there is some hope there. - Absolutely.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26Then, lastly, we've got these dirty great Japanese gourd vases.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30- Do they appeal to you, Mark? - They don't appeal to me.- No.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Of course, the Oriental market is very hot at the moment, isn't it?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35It is very strong.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38But they are looking for older pieces.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42- They are, but then that drags up all of the market.- That's true.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- What's your most positive estimate? - £80 to £120.- Oh.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- £185 paid.- Oh, no.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Pauline went very strongly on these.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I think it was that gourd shape that got her going.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- £185 is a pretty massive price, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Do you know something?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04They're going to need their bonus buy - badly!
0:30:06 > 0:30:07Now, Mave the Rave, Pauline,
0:30:07 > 0:30:10you spent £228. Magnificent.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15You gave Nicholas Hall £72 to blow.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- What did you buy as a bonus buy, Nick?- Be ready to be impressed.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Look at that!- Ooh! - That's nice.- Very.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26It's 18th century, by the glorious factory of Worcester,
0:30:26 > 0:30:27the Royal Lily pattern.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I paid £70.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34- That's not bad. Can I have a feel? - You haven't held back yet. Go on.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Don't call you Mave the Rave for nothing.- You're right.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- What would you put in it? Sweeties? - No, you just display it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45- Just display it?- Yeah. £70. It wasn't the cheapest Worcester dish in the world.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47We've lost, so we might as well have it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52You have to wait and see, Pauline, till the end of the doodahs.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54You do wait till the doodahs are over.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56THEY GIGGLE
0:30:56 > 0:30:58But right now, for the audience at home,
0:30:58 > 0:31:03let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the plate before the doodahs.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09One early, nice, Worcester dish.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Yes, good bit of 18th century Worcester.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15A bit of wear, as you expect. Generally it's sound.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20And how well is a dish like that on its own in isolation likely to do?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- It's likely to do £30 or £40. - Is that all?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Nick paid £70 for it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28They're just not as sought-after as they were maybe ten years ago.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32So, once again, maybe the teams won't go with their bonus buy.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33You never know your luck.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Thanks a lot, Mark.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44So, guys, how are we feeling? All right?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- A little bit nervous.- What have you got to be nervous about, Stephen?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Is it kind of like shame? Or what are you afraid of here?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Shame.- With all your mates?- Yeah. - You know they'll all be watching.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- I'm confident. - That's very nice to know, Gerard.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01And if the worst comes to the worst,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03you can always go with the entree dish
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- with the heater underneath for your kidneys.- Yeah.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Anyway, first up is the flamboyant bowl and jug, and here it comes.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12This ewer and basin,
0:32:12 > 0:32:15with gilt mounds and decorative flowers.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Bidding has to start at £35-£40.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Come on.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21£40. £45. £50.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24£55. £60. £65. £70.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Well done!

0:32:33 > 0:32:34£100. £100 bid.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36And £105. £110.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I said this was a good bowl and jug set.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- I was the only one that had faith in it.- You were.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42£140.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I can't believe it!
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I'm bid £140 with the internet. £140.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49Fair warning. I will sell at £140.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54£140 is plus £71. That is a lovely number.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56I'm going to take that all back.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Hang on. Here comes the Deco clock.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02An Art Deco walnut case mantel clock,
0:33:02 > 0:33:03striking on five gongs.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Opening bid, £35.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08£40. £40 I am bid.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Come on.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12£40. Bid at £40. Selling at £40.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15£40 is minus £10.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Minus £10.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- He's a cocky one.- He's like the cat that got the cream.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21It's the Bakelite now.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Here's a Bakelite egg cruet.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Lots of interest in this one. £10, £20, 30 I'm bid.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Come on, come on. - MARK:- £30 bid here. £30.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33£35 I'll take. At £30. I'm bid £30 for the egg cruet here.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- At £30 I will sell.- Oh, no.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- £30 is minus £15 on that. All right.- Unlucky.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43So £15...
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Which means overall you are £46 up.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- Congratulations, Gerard. - I can't believe it. - That is so good.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Now, what are you going to do about the £100 silver-plated entree dish?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- What do you want to do? - No, I'm going to knock that on you.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04- You're the top man now.- Is he your hero?- Yeah.- He's MY hero.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- What do you think?- I don't think you should trust me ever again.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- We're going to cut and run. - You're not going to go with it?- No.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- That is the definitive final answer?- Yeah. We think that's enough to take.- You are fantastic.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- Here it comes.- An Art Deco silver-plated food warmer.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Bidding opens at £18.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- £18.- £18 for the silver-plated...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28£18. £20. £22. £25. £28. £30.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36£45. £48. £50.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38£50. In the middle at £50.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41£50, then. Selling at £50.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Good decision.- £50, was it?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Minus £50.- You did the right thing.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48But it doesn't matter. You ring-fenced it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Now, do us a favour. Don't say a word to the Blues.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Of course. - Mum's the word?- Mum's the word.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Solid. Very good.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Ah... Well done.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- So, girls, you've been talking to the Reds, those big boys?- No.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- You don't know how they've done? - No.- Good. We like to keep all this secret.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14We've got Chinese walls here. Lovely.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17So, Pauline, darling, how are you feeling? Nervy?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19No. I'm feeling pretty good.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- We're going to make a million. - Make a million?- Yeah.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You ARE feeling pretty good.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29How much money are you predicting you'll make, Mave the Rave?
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Oh... I don't know.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Enough to take you out to dinner.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Quite a lot, then.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Ooh, you're a one, you are, Mavis, I tell you.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44- If the worst comes to the worst, you've got the Worcester dish to fall back on.- Oh, that's lovely.
0:35:44 > 0:35:49Good. First up, though, come the lead weights, and here they come.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Seven very Saxon medieval loom weights or spindle whorls
0:35:53 > 0:35:56or fishing-line weights or whatever you want them to be.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Don't you worry about that, baby.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Now, Mave, here comes your bracelet.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25A modern wire and metal bracelet, stamp 9.25, the links with amber.

0:38:51 > 0:38:52Brilliant.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- The big question now is... - You going down the cashpoint?- No.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Are you going with the bonus buy or not?- Oh, yes.- Yes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Are you sure?- Yes. - Hang on a minute, girls.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10to split three ways.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Three ways?! What do you mean?
0:39:13 > 0:39:18You said you'd take me out to dinner if you made a decent profit.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I didn't put it in writing, though.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Are you going with the bonus buy or not?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25If you just hang on in there, you can just preserve the £525.
0:39:25 > 0:39:31- You're going to risk another £70. - That's all right. We don't mind losing £70 for Nick.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- Not for Nick. It's for yourselves. - That's all right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39- Are you going with the bonus buy or not?- Yes.- Did you say no? - No, we said yes.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- You said no. - No, we said yes.- All right, they're going with the bonus buy.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44They're two punters, these girls.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Here we go. Here it comes. This is your bonus buy.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22- but try not to tell anybody about this, all right?- No.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Particularly those Reds. - Right, yes.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29I don't want you making any international telephone calls or sending telegrams.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Keep really quiet about this.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Well, teams, have we been chatting at all?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- No.- No.- You haven't been chatting to one another?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Well, the audience knows that one of the teams today
0:40:47 > 0:40:49is well into profit,
0:40:49 > 0:40:53which is a rare occurrence, I have to say, on Bargain Hunt.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Sadly, every programme has to have a runner-up,
0:40:56 > 0:41:01and in today's show the runners-up are...
0:41:01 > 0:41:03the Reds.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05HE CACKLES
0:41:05 > 0:41:07- You didn't reckon this, did you, Reds?- No.- No.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- No, not at all.- It's a shock.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13I mean, you have a profit of £46,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17which is, on Bargain Hunt, a substantial chunk of money
0:41:17 > 0:41:19by anybody's standards,
0:41:19 > 0:41:25largely made up out of Gerard's spectacular £71 win
0:41:25 > 0:41:30- on the flamboyant bowl and jug, so congratulations on that. - Thank you very much.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Have you had a good time? - We've had a great time. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38But... our winners today...
0:41:38 > 0:41:40by a big chalk...
0:41:40 > 0:41:46You are going to walk home with £497 worth of profit.
0:41:47 > 0:41:53That is £497 worth of profit!
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Yes!
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Our Mave the Rave! - CATHERINE:- That's very good.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Who would have thought, Pauline, that your gourd-shaped vases...
0:42:04 > 0:42:05They were fantastic.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07..which I was so sniffy about...
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Yes, you were. - I was. I own up to it.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I was sniffy about them.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15..would make £515 worth of profit?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- So, girls, what does it feel like being a big winner?- Oh, wonderful.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20And how has it been for you, Nick?
0:42:20 > 0:42:25It's been an absolute blast. And what a fantastic team I had. Couldn't have been better.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27We used to lob out golden gavels
0:42:27 > 0:42:30for teams who got a profit on every single item.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34But nowadays what we lob out are these little fellows.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36They're like golden gavels but they're pins.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41If you make a profit or wipe your face on your three items,
0:42:41 > 0:42:43you get one of these.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- And because the expert is very special, he gets one too. - Thank you very much.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Have you had a great time? - Oh, wonderful. We've had a fabulous time.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Fantastic. What about you, Pauline? - Fantastic.- And well done, Nick.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00ALL: Yes!
