0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello, there. Just getting my bearings,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09because today's bargain hunters could be doing their hunting
0:00:09 > 0:00:13in an arcade up there. They could be going in here,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17or they could be down there! How confusing's that?
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We're in Lewes today,
0:00:44 > 0:00:47where our contestants have £300 and one hour
0:00:47 > 0:00:49to find three bargains.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54But wherever our teams happen to go, will they be heading for trouble?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Coming up, Catherine Southon struggles
0:00:59 > 0:01:01to get on the Red Team's wavelength.
0:01:01 > 0:01:06- Nice.- That's quite spooky. SHE MAKES EERIE MOANING SOUND
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Not for me. Screams "Kinder Egg", to be quite honest.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14And Thomas Plant's team don't quite get the hang of teamwork.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- If it goes wrong, it's all your fault.- Exactly. - That's a good way of looking at it.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Let's have a look here.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I'm just going in the corner to cry.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Hello, everyone. - Hello.- Lovely to see you.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33Now, John, you share a couple of passions with your nipper, Craig.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35What's the first passion you share?
0:01:35 > 0:01:38The first one is that we're both very keen Chelsea supporters.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I've been supporting Chelsea for 40 years,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43and Craig comes with me on a regular basis,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and we've been going for a long, long time.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- It's fun, isn't it? - Excellent fun.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- The team is the team after all. - Have a few drinks up there, as well.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Never hurts. - And what's your second passion?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57We're both keen ghost-hunters, Tim.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I'm quite sceptic, to be honest, but it's more a jolly boys' outing.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05But it's good fun, and when you're put in a dungeon at 4:00 AM
0:02:05 > 0:02:07on your own, and you don't believe in any of it,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10and you start to hear bangs and noises and knockings,
0:02:10 > 0:02:14it's, um... It can test the old scruples a bit.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yeah, I bet it does! But you do it deliberately to get scared,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- don't you?- That's what it is, just to prove that you're man enough,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- and it's a load of rubbish.- But we have a bellyful of beer, though.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- That's half the story. - It comes to drink again!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- It does. Unfortunately it does. - Have you ever been spooked?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34One time we was in Chillingham Castle up in Northumberland,
0:02:34 > 0:02:38and we had a dictaphone set on record,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42and all of a sudden it, like, got really, really, really ice cold,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and it was quite spooky. There was a couple of taps
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and knocks and stuff, and it was really quite freaky.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51But it is true, then? You do believe?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Well, sort of sceptic, to be honest,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57but that's always going to stick in my mind, that night.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01John, you're currently undergoing a bit of a modern professional stance.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- What are you up to? - I look after my two younger children
0:03:05 > 0:03:08from my second marriage, who are six and 12.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11My wife works full-time. They're growing up now,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14so it'll be back to painting and decorating soon.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Would you prefer hanging wallpaper or looking after the little kids?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Hanging wallpaper. TIM LAUGHS
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That's the honest answer to it, isn't it, actually?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- And what do you get up to, Craig? - I'm a self-employed electrician.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Oh, are you?- Yeah.- So you and your dad have got it covered,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33with you doing the sparks and him decorating?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Yeah. We've worked before, haven't we?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- We have worked together. - A lot of paint flew about.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, very, very good luck today. Now for the girls.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Tina, how did you two girls meet? - We both met at work
0:03:44 > 0:03:49about three years ago, working for a very interesting financial company
0:03:49 > 0:03:50in the city.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54So you're producing information in a special way
0:03:54 > 0:03:57that's assimilated by the banking and investment industry.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01They make decisions based on that and they use the information.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's no more interesting than that, I'm afraid!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- There's got to be something going on with it.- The pay?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- THEY LAUGH - Oh, would it? Yes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13But we almost lost you in the financial hierarchy,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15because you wanted to be on the stage.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I've always wanted to be on the stage, since I was like that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Yeah.- And in my, um, middle years, I had a bit of a mid-life crisis
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- and decided to have a go at it. - What did you do?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Went to acting school for a couple of years,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31part-time, and worked full-time,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35and then went off and did a few bits and pieces, and...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Did you get anywhere with it? - I decided it was too hard work!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Now, Babs, your passion is not of the four-wheeled kind
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- but the two-wheeled kind, isn't it? - That's right, yes.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I have a Harley at home, a little 883 custom
0:04:48 > 0:04:52with various accessories on it, so it's quite blingy.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Is it? - Quite chromey and quite shiny.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57And I do a lot of travelling in the UK on that,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00but then we also have a Goldwing at home.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The thing that looks as if it's got two armchairs on the back.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Exactly. And it's got a CD player in the back,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10and you plug the intercom in and you can chat to each other.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14So, Tina, how do you think you girls will get on as a team?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Barbara's going to be the sensible one.- Yes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- Barbara's got the eye.- Has she? - Yeah. And she likes painting and art.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Yeah. You've got the gift of the gab.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Kind or. Or not. THEY LAUGH
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- You'll be in charge of marketing. - I'll do the negotiations, possibly.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- We're going to have some fun. - There's a flaw in my plan.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37There is indeed. Now the money moment - there's your £300 apiece.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44And very, very, very good luck. Wow!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Right! Let's get down to business.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- What will we do? - Quirky.- Something nice.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- You up for this, girls? - Definitely.- Yeah?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Going to spend lots of money? - Hopefully not.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- In there?- That's for me. - Come on! In, in!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- It's beautiful, isn't it? - Yeah. I just looked at the price.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Little Art Nouveau box with a Ruskin mount to it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Circa 1910.- I can't see any marks. Would it be marked?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It actually lifts off completely.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27What's nice is you've got this revealed strap-work decoration.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30You see the way they've revealed the way it's been made?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It's a real Arts and Crafts trait,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35very diagnostic of that period.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Um, with very stylised floral top,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41inset with Ruskin mount.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What's lovely again is that the copper hasn't been cleaned,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48therefore it's still got that good patination to it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- 95, it is.- That's a lot. - I have a figure in mind
0:06:51 > 0:06:54which I feel it should be purchased for.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Hi.- What would be the best price on that?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Um, 95... Would normally be 85 for trade,
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- but 75 for the bargain hunters. - What about 65?
0:07:04 > 0:07:08That's a little bit tight. I think...
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Go on!- 68?
0:07:10 > 0:07:1270. I'd say 70.
0:07:12 > 0:07:1468?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- It's just a couple of pound off.- OK.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Does that sound about right? - That's not bad.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You got a chance there. It's a £60 to £80 box.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Well done. Five minutes into shopping -- Well done!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- There you go.- If it goes wrong, it's all your fault.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Exactly.- That's a good way of looking at it, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34'I was about to say, "Nice teamwork, Tina!"
0:07:34 > 0:07:37'Anyway, that's mighty quick work, girls.'
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Nice!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Nothing that's getting you excited, boys?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Not at the moment.- Not really.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50'Some people are just hard to please.'
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Over my dead body are you buying that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- What about a dog's head?- Hmm...
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Nice.- That's quite spooky. SHE MAKES EERIE MOANING SOUND
0:08:03 > 0:08:06'She's lost it, folks.'
0:08:06 > 0:08:08That's quirky!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Not for me.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15OK, really interesting.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18William De Morgan, an Arts and Crafts potter.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22This tile here is a copy of a very famous De Morgan tile.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Oh, right.- This is an original tile.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27This is a copy of a tile.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30So therefore, at £110,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32it's not worth even dealing with.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- This one here, at 280, World's End Pottery...- 280!
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's a lot of money for a tile, but it is De Morgan.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- So it's the real thing. - It is the real McCoy,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42and a popular collection.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45You have got a bit of a damage there,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47there and there.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50If it was in perfect condition, it's a £300 to £500 tile.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Wow!- The other tile you looked at... - It's more modern?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56No. This is a correct tile from the period.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01It's slightly later in date. This is Art Nouveau, British Art Nouveau,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04so more restrained. This is 1860s, 1870s.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06This is 1910.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10You can see the change immediately in the British Arts and Crafts.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You've got an interesting history here of these things.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Well done!- If we got a really good deal on that,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- it's worth going... - What would be a good deal?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Well, I mean, a really good deal is £180.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24OK. Do you want to take the lead on that one?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- I'll ask.- OK.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31'The girls like beauty. The boys like creepy.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- What do you think of this?- Um... - It's a brooch, I take it. Yeah?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Yeah. A lady's brooch. Not an awful lot, to be honest.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42I don't think it's particularly fine.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44It's not the best quality.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- What do you think, Craig? - Screams "Kinder Egg" to me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Looks like it's out of a cracker, yeah?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I don't think that's...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56'If that was in my Christmas cracker, I'd send it back.'
0:09:57 > 0:09:59We've had 20 minutes? No!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02'Boys, you need to get your skates on.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04'How's the negotiation, Thomas?'
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- What's the deal? - £200 is OK.- Oh, really?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Yeah.- Oh, that's very sweet. It is a good discount.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Oh, look who we've got. - You should do it.- You reckon?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16There's no point in life without taking a risk.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- We're being nobbled. We're being nobbled!- Hello!
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I'm being cheeky and seeing what you're buying.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25What do you think we're buying out of these two?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- That's the nicer one. - That's the one we're buying.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- That's much better.- That's horrible. We don't like that at all.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Is he telling you that one?- Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Is that the one we put aside earlier?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Oh, yeah. We've reserved that one! - Off you...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Off my patch!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46'Come on, teams! Concentrate on your own shopping.'
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- What do you want to do? - Let's go for it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- £200...- You're worried, aren't you?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- We've got how much left?- £32.
0:10:54 > 0:10:5832 quid left, and you've got a bonus buy to buy out of that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Yeah. You know, it doesn't matter. You could buy something for a fiver.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You could buy something for £30 and leave me two.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- I don't care. - You could buy a new tie.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- What is wrong with this tie? - THEY LAUGH
0:11:09 > 0:11:11'Do you really have to ask?'
0:11:13 > 0:11:18'Now, John, Craig, there must be something you like in here.'
0:11:18 > 0:11:21That's a nicer spider. I prefer that one.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24People don't often wear these brooches. That's the problem.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29'Now, viewers, a word in your shell-likes.'
0:11:29 > 0:11:31How are you on conchology?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Good? Well, marvellous!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37You can help me identify some of these shells I've found.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39What do you think about this fella?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Just look at the colour!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's got that salmon-pink ground to it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49It's a sort of shell from an exotic location.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52This one, pretty similar look,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55but with these scridgy-type lines on,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and this fellow, he's got a bad attack of acne.
0:11:58 > 0:12:05Serious black and brown splodges all over his knobbly carcase.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Now, all I've done is to come to Lewes
0:12:08 > 0:12:11to discover these three shells.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's cost me about £6.50.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17But just look what you can do with these shells,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21or at least what they did with them in the old days.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Here we've got a perfectly straightforward little clam
0:12:24 > 0:12:29that some Victorian mother has stuffed with a piece of velvet
0:12:29 > 0:12:33to make it into an attractive little pincushion.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Cost? £3 here in the market.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And just look at the next little baby. See?
0:12:40 > 0:12:44It's a curlicue shell, and you've got a little handle on the side,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47and if I pull on the end,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50it reveals a gorgeous purple tape measure,
0:12:50 > 0:12:55and similarly we've got another bit of purple velvet
0:12:55 > 0:12:58to complete the pincushion effect.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Cost? £6.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And the last one is, I think, very special.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Have you ever seen such a gorgeous thing?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13This fellow, £10.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Look at that lot!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19A clutch on top of my teak-top telephone table.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Perfect!
0:13:21 > 0:13:25'Right, back to the shopping! Time's marching on.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27'The Blues have two items,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30'the Reds...nothing.'
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- Are either of you whisky drinkers? - No, but I could be.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- You could be, at a price?- Mm-hm.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37What do you think about this?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Whisky decanter.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44This is a promotional piece that was make to promote John Haig whisky.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Are you familiar with the whisky? - I am indeed.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50There's the name at the bottom. It's in great shape!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52What's nice, this one lifted up here,
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- and you've got the hallmark there. Can you see that?- Yeah.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Oh, yeah.- So that's Birmingham, and that's a K,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01so that's about '34, 1934, '35.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04I think that's quite nice, isn't it? It's a nice little thing.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- I actually do like that. - Could you become a whisky drinker?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I could be. What would this be made of?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I think we'd call it white metal. I don't think it is silver.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17That's been applied to the glass. Love the shape of it,
0:14:17 > 0:14:21love the thistle pattern. I wouldn't say it's of the finest quality,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24the way that this has been cut out, but at the end of the day,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- it was made as a promotional piece. - Do collectors of this...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Oh, absolutely, yeah. So what do you think about this?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- I actually like it. - Yeah?- Do you like that?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- I do.- Can I ask you, sir,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- how much do you want for this? - The asking price is 85.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- We can do it for 65. - 65.- Is the best.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44How much do you think that could fetch at auction?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I think they'd probably put that in at about 60 to 80.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- 60 to 80?- Yeah.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- And I think it should make more. - That sounds good.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Does sound good. - I'm happy with that.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- Do you want to get that as your first item?- Definitely.- I think so.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- We'll have that. Thank you so much! - 'Hurrah!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03'They're off the mark, and not a moment too soon.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06'But it's not time to relax yet, chaps. Oh, no!'
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I really feel this should be Tina's choice.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Leaving it up to me now? - It's all up to you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm not looking.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Fire pump. You put your foot on there...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Underneath, and the hose there. - Rubber hose in there.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- And then you pump that and spray, yeah?- I guess.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32'I think I'd rather call the fire brigade.'
0:15:32 > 0:15:35We've got 32, and you need some money left over.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- I do need a little bit of money. - If he did it for 25,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- would that give you enough? - I don't mind.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'm not worried about what you leave me.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Would you do it for 25? - 28's the best.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- 28's the best, yeah. - That leaves you with £4.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53You'll never find anything for £4. You never know!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Barbara, you're full of hot air. - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Couple of items might be more expensive.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Oh, I suppose if there's that for 12...
0:16:04 > 0:16:07All right. You've blown my theory out of the water.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I'm just going in the corner to cry.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Oh, what do I like, what do I like? - 'Bargains?'
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- What is it actually made of? - This is Black Forest.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- It's some sort of warrior.- Hmm!
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Do you like that? Quite nicely done, isn't it?
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- What do you think? - How much is he asking?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31- 45 on that.- Hmm...
0:16:31 > 0:16:35The good side about it is, it is quite nicely carved.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Just the bottom bit, the condition's worrying me.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Would that clean up, if anybody wanted to...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- The top half is quite nice. - You probably could,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46but to be honest, I don't know that you'd really want to,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49because people wouldn't collect it as a pen,
0:16:49 > 0:16:53unlike they collect their Parkers and Mont Blancs and whatever.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57You'd collect this more as a novel Black Forest object, wouldn't you?
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- We've got 45 on this. - 45. Best price 35.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- 30?- If you ask nicely, 30's OK. - I'll ask nicely.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Go on, then. 30 quid it is. - Thank you.- Happy with that?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Yes. More than happy.- Happy?- Yeah.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13OK. Thank you very much. We'll take that as our second item.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17'Yes! In a matter of minutes, the boys have caught up.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Blow torch. You like that, do you? - It's too much.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- How much have we got?- 32.
0:17:22 > 0:17:2532. Tall order, isn't it, for you?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Let's not fret.- OK. Not fretting. This is the face of not fretting.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- Can I put one swerve ball in? - Go.- OK.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44This is a sweetheart brooch. It's in silver, Birmingham.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46And it's obviously a cavalry regiment,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50because we've got a horseshoe. Let's see what regiment it is.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55It's the Queen's Own Hussars, so it's Victorian,
0:17:55 > 0:18:00and you've got the Crimea Wars,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04and you've got the Napoleonic Wars as well here.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07It would have been worn by an officer's wife...
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Oh, really? - ..as her husband was in the Hussars,
0:18:09 > 0:18:14for a regimental dinner, or out and about with her coat, etc.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's within your budget, it's silver...
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Do these holes mean they could turn it into a necklace?- Probably.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It could have been mounted on something
0:18:22 > 0:18:26and then converted into a brooch. I know it's something I spotted.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Military items are quite popular. It's in silver.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33We can catalogue it correctly - the Queen's Own Hussars,
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Fourth Regiment. - OK. You've sold it to me.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38And me.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- What price would you give us on that? - Er, 18.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- 18. If I gave you 15?- I can't do it.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- You won't go any lower than 18 at all?- No.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Shall we do it?- Yeah, we can do it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54That leaves us... That leaves you with plenty of money!
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Well, I wouldn't say "plenty". - In comparison to what you expected.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- It's over a tenner. - OK. Let's do it. Yeah.- We'll do it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- £18. Thank you very much. - Well done, girls. Well done.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Three items. - I'm so glad I picked that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- THEY LAUGH - 'Not quite your find, Tina,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14'but close enough. The girls are done.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17'Let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:19:17 > 0:19:23'First, Barbara got Arts and Crafty with the Ruskin box for £68.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29'Thomas was impressed with £200 worth of William De Morgan tile.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33'And for £18, Tina marched to Thomas's drum
0:19:33 > 0:19:36'with the silver regimental brooch.'
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Done and dusted. - Congratulations.- Thank you.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Literally with minutes... - Not long to spare.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Not long to spare. - And not much money to spare.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45No. What's your overall total?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Er, 286.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52286. That means I want £14 of leftover lolly.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- That's about what you've got. - Where is it coming from? Well done.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58£14 of leftover lolly. How exciting!
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Anyway, good luck with your £14, Thomas, and good luck, girls.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Chaps, do you like your cheeses? - Not particularly, but carry on.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Depends which one. - Do you like Stilton?- No.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Not personally, no.- So you wouldn't have a nice dinner party
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- with a big lump of Stilton? - Definitely not.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23You won't like this, then. I think this is rather nice.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Stilton scoop. Nice ivory handle there.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Lovely thing! Dated 1908.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It's got a maker's initials as well.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Ticket price, 23.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I've had a word. 15.- Really?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I think that's a nice little thing.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- How often do you see your Stilton scoops?- This is true.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- SHE LAUGHS True.- Do you not like it?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I'm happy to go with that if you are, Craig.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- I'll trust your judgement. - Oh, Craig! Do you like this, though?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55No, because I don't like cheese, but...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- THEY LAUGH - It's not about me.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02We could use it is a kind of ice-cream scoop, maybe.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- THEY LAUGH - A very...- We could do, I suppose.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'm getting desperate here.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Maybe, like, pickle...
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Pickles! Pickles. Like it. - Yeah. I trust your judgement.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Do you? - Yeah. More than happy.- Definitely.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I do like this, and I do think that...
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Do you know who'd like this? Tim. - Really?- Tim would like this.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25'I'll be the judge of that, thank you!'
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Tim would probably buy this. - Could we sell it to Tim?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Sadly not, but I think he might like something like that.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I think it's good, for £15. - Yep. I'm happy.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Yeah. You can't go wrong with it. - Final item?- Final item.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Final item.- Done.- Done!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42'And that's the Red Team finished, too.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45'So, what did they buy?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49'After 40 minutes, the Reds went for the whisky bottle at £65.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56'John went quirky with the £30 Black Forest carved pen.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02'And at £15, the Stilton scoop is anything but cheesy!'
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Ah!- Have you finished yet?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- We have.- Just finished. - Well done. Isn't that lovely?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- How much did you spend overall? - 110?- 110.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15£110? That's pathetic, isn't it? I mean, that's no money!
0:22:15 > 0:22:20So, £190 of leftover lolly, please, wherever that is.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Have to dig deep. - You don't like this, do you?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- There you go.- There we go. What are you going to do with £190?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Haven't the foggiest, Tim, actually. - Have you not?- No.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33But I will find something that will bring a smile to your face.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I think she's got something up her sleeve.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- You had a great time, though? - Really did.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And good luck, Catherine.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Good luck indeed! Now, come with me to Brighton.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51In 1786, George, Prince of Wales, visited Brighton
0:22:51 > 0:22:54to escape the stresses of London.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58When he got here, he needed a palace, so he built this!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06He was broke and in debt, but it didn't stop him spending.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13At one end of the Royal Pavilion is the banqueting room.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16George sure enjoyed his food!
0:23:16 > 0:23:21He also enjoyed building onto Brighton Pavilion.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25This place simply got bigger...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28..and bigger...
0:23:28 > 0:23:29and bigger...
0:23:29 > 0:23:32until we arrive here
0:23:32 > 0:23:36in the magnificent music room.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Is this not the most extraordinary,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43fantasy-land-type room?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Alongside his great passion for food,
0:23:49 > 0:23:54the Prince Regent absolutely adored music.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57In 1823, he enjoyed in this room
0:23:57 > 0:24:02a performance by the great Italian composer, Rossini.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07The most extraordinary feature has to be this dome.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Just look at that! It makes you feel quite dizzy
0:24:10 > 0:24:13just looking up.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The whole thing proportionally takes your eye
0:24:18 > 0:24:22to the centre, which of course is the pendant boss
0:24:22 > 0:24:28supporting this massive and just extraordinary central chandelier.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Completely mad!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36What intrigues me is, how do you achieve
0:24:36 > 0:24:41this incredibly rich internal decorative effect?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Well, the Prince Regent spotted a young man
0:24:44 > 0:24:47called Frederick Crace.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52Crace he had noticed in his London home in Carlton House Terrace
0:24:52 > 0:24:55as an expert gilder and decorator,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58and indeed, it was Frederick Crace
0:24:58 > 0:25:01who essentially came up with the decorative scheme
0:25:01 > 0:25:03for this, the music room.
0:25:03 > 0:25:09The walls themselves are a series of painted canvasses
0:25:09 > 0:25:12which have been painted almost in imitation
0:25:12 > 0:25:15of Chinese lacquered screens,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18hence the really deep, almost lacquer effect
0:25:18 > 0:25:23of the red and gold in combination.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26The whimsical, fun part of it, though,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29is illustrated by the dragon at the top
0:25:29 > 0:25:33that seems to spew forth an immense conger eel
0:25:33 > 0:25:37which is entwined behind the fake column.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40The focal point on this side of the room, though,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44is the fireplace itself, which is a reproduction,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48because when Queen Victoria sold Brighton Pavilion,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50she thought it was going to be demolished,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and she removed a number of the internal fittings,
0:25:54 > 0:25:59and the original today is at Buckingham Palace.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02What I think is completely killing in this space
0:26:02 > 0:26:08is that Frederick Crace, the man who's created all these images
0:26:08 > 0:26:12of China, never went any further east
0:26:12 > 0:26:15than Dover.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Of course, the big question today is,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20where exactly are our teams going to be sent -
0:26:20 > 0:26:24north, south, east or west, or simply bust?
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Can you think of a better place to be? In the middle of West Sussex,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Wisborough Green, Bellmans saleroom. Jonathan Pratt, our host.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47- How are you, JP?- Very good, Tim. - Excellent. It's lovely to be here.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49And John and Craig have gone with
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- this dimple-shaped Haig whisky bottle.- Yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55And then of course they've onlaid this silver pattern on it,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- full of thistles, which is very nice.- Yeah!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02And whacked on a stopper. How do you rate that?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06It's quite a nice object, really. Decanters aren't easy to sell,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09but it's got more of a story about it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Yeah.- So I quite like it, really.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- What's this worth?- £20 to £30.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Is that all? They paid £65, our lads.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- It's a come-and-get-me estimate. - Oh, I see.- Maybe.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21One of your tempters.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Now, what do you make of this thing, this wee pen?
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- Well, it's really nice quality. - Seriously well detailed, isn't it?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31It's the typical output of the Black Forest.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34They made an industry out of souvenirs with these.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The quality's very good, and that would suggest less commercial.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40You wouldn't spend as much time on it to sell as a souvenir.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- What do you think it's worth? Guesstimate?- £20, £30.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47£30 paid. And lastly, the cheese scoop,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- which is only plate, isn't it? - Yep. Only plate.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54And if you were selling this, it would go in a box with about, er...
0:27:54 > 0:27:56A million other things, yes.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- I mean, who uses those any more? - Christmas.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Half a Stilton, have a dig. - Do you still?- Yeah.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Bung a bit of port wine in the middle.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Lasts you over the Christmas break.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Get bored with it, make it into soup.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12It's difficult, a one-off piece like that. Is it worth a fiver?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Is it worth £10?- Our minimum bid's £10, and I've stuck it there.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18OK. They paid £15, so there's not a lot in that, either.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Anyway, if the decanter does badly, they're sunk,
0:28:23 > 0:28:27in which case they'll need the bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30OK, John and Craig. This is the bonus-buy moment.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Catherine's going to reveal what she spent your £190 on.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Are you ready for this, chaps? - Ready.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I bought you this...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- What's that?- ..which is...
0:28:39 > 0:28:43a little ivory Victorian propelling pencil.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Mm-hm.- So you turn this here,
0:28:45 > 0:28:50and then the lead comes out there. That's all ivory.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53And it's quite nice cos we got the maker's name here,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- Mordan, as in Sampson & Mordan. - How much did you pay for this?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I did actually pay quite a bit for it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- I paid 50.- 50? - I know. It is quite a nice sun,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05but I just thought it was quite a cute little pencil.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07What do you think we can make?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I'd like to see it make a few pounds, maybe - five, ten.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13It might just take off.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Hope it does. - I actually quite like it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Oh, do you? Oh, I am pleased. What do you think?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- I trust your judgement. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Thousands wouldn't. - SHE LAUGHS
0:29:24 > 0:29:26But Sampson Mordan are the big name...
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Absolutely. - ..in 19th-century pencil makers.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33We had no biros. There's no easy writing system
0:29:33 > 0:29:36in the 19th century. You got a pen and ink,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39which you can't be carting around with you.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41How do you make a note about anything quickly?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43You can only use a pencil,
0:29:43 > 0:29:47and the propelling pencil was kind of the ultimate
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- in writing utensils. And he's a big name, isn't he?- Absolutely.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- Are we looking at 1880, 1890? - About that sort of time, yeah.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Oh, I like that.- OK. Make a note of what Catherine's told you.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- THEY LAUGH - Because you don't have to pick now.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04You pick after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little pencil.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11There we go. Look at that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Looks as if it's 1930s, but it can't be, can it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I've described it as late Victorian, but it might be early 20th century.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Sampson Mordan started about 1840s, I think.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23And the patent was the propelling pencil.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Yeah, a silver one. The silver ones are two a penny.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30If you're going to buy one, maybe this is more attractive.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33But it's ivory again. People do turn their noses up a bit
0:30:33 > 0:30:35to this sort of thing. But it works.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- How much?- £15. £15 to £20.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Catherine will be disappointed. She paid £50 for that.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- Let's hope it makes £50, for her sake.- Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52First up is the Arts and Crafts Ruskin-mounted little box.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- That's charming. - Isn't it? Just the business, really.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's one flat piece of metal, folded,
0:30:57 > 0:30:59and these joins just riveted in.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04This turquoise cabochon of pottery by Ruskin, or Ruskinesque, anyway,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08but very typical of Arts and Crafts. Great shape.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Nice colour. - Yeah! It's a great thing.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- How much?- £60, £90.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Perfect! £68 they paid.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20I thought for a minute there it was going to be Thomas spending £150!
0:31:20 > 0:31:24No. Thomas went really strongly on the De Morgan tile.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Not quite sure what that is, really. It's a sunflower, is it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31It's in the De Morgan book. It's called KL Rose pattern.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Good for you. You've done some research on it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38And what sort of value would you put on a De Morgan tile like that?
0:31:38 > 0:31:40On a good day I think it would make £100,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43but I put 60 to 90, trying to lead to it.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Yes. Thomas paid £200. - That is a lot of money.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- It is. - I mean, it can make lots of money.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Gosh, it can make money, and it is a name
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- that draws collectors very strongly. - Oh, yeah.- Well, we'll see.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- What about the brooch? - Regimental brooch
0:31:58 > 0:32:01for the Fourth Queen's Own Hussars.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03It's not completely hallmarked,
0:32:03 > 0:32:07which makes me think it might have been altered very slightly.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11If you're regimentally inclined, that is a little peach.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15But it's not... No-one's going to part with £50 for it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- No, no. What's your estimate? - Ten to 15.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20OK. They paid 18. It's a nice little brooch.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22It's got its regimental interest,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25and somebody might have a poke at it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28But what's going to let them down, I fancy,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31is old William De Morgan and his tile,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33in which case they'll need the bonus buy,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Right, then, Tina and Babs. This is your bonus-buy moment.- OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44You gave the boy £14. What did he spend it on? Thomas.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47This is quite an interesting jug. It's about 1909,
0:32:47 > 0:32:52Koloman Moser for Loetz. Loetz, which is a glass manufacturer...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- OK.- ..in Bohemia, Austria,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59and Koloman Moser a seminal designer
0:32:59 > 0:33:04from the Vienna Secession period, and this is a crackle-glaze jug
0:33:04 > 0:33:06in the larger format. You get the smaller-format one.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- I have sold these for about £80. - Really?- Wow!- Yes.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- And you paid...- £14.- Watch his lips.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18- Yeah.- So this could do quite well if the right people are here for it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- That design is quite "moderne". - You could use it today.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25And it would look lovely with a beverage in there.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- And what could be nicer than that, Babs?- Exactly.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Now, this looks as if it's badly cracked.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- Yes.- It's quite a clever technique, though - the crackle finish.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Yeah. It's very interesting. I like the integral hand.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- It's very functional. - Almost like a tankard.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Have a drink out of it rather than pouring.- Well, why not?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- THEY LAUGH - Greedy-guts!
0:33:48 > 0:33:52I rather like it, actually. I mean, it doesn't scream...
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Koloman Moser was, like, a Vienna Secessionist designer.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00It doesn't scream out that sort of...
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- the typical design you see for that period.- No.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07But it looks up, and one or two examples have solid auction bids.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Right. And what do you think it might bring?- £20, £30.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Great. £14 paid.- Very good. - Thomas has done well.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15- Yeah.- Good. Well, we're almost ready for the off.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- Cheers.- And excited about it! Thank you, Jonathan.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- OK, John and Craig. How you feeling? - Excited.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31This is just the moment, isn't it? To be here,
0:34:31 > 0:34:35on the edge of the auction, and nobody knows how it will go.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37We've got a crowded room. That's good.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40The first item is going to be your decanter.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43£65 you paid for that, and here it comes.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Lot 1780A, and I've got lots of interest in this lot.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Oh, good.- That would be nice.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- £65.- 20. 25.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5530, 30. £40. Straight in at 40.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Come on. Keep going, Jonathan. - £40. Who'll bid me five?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Back of the room gets it at 45. Do I see 50?- Come on.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Bit more.- With you, sir, at 45.
0:35:02 > 0:35:0650 anywhere else? At £45. I shall sell at £45.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- Trouble!- Straight in, then, at £45...
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- £45.- Never mind.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15That is minus £20. I don't believe it.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18That is ridiculous. £45, and it's a lovely thing, that!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- And he said "lots of bids". - Well, he had got lots of bids.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- They got a bargain. - Lots of low bids.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Well, between 20 and 45.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Lot 1781A, Black Forest carved-wood pen
0:35:28 > 0:35:32with figure or finial. £10 I'm bid. Straight in at ten.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Who'll bid me 12? 12. - Keep going.- Stopping at £15.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- 18. 20.- Yes.- £22 gets it now. At 22.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Do I see 25? 22 with you, sir. £25 anywhere else?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Come on! - It's £22. On the left at 22.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50Do I see 25? Are we all done? It's yours, sir. At £22 it's going.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52At £22.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55They're sitting on their hands!
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Nothing.- Oh, dear.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Next up is the Stilton scoop. I love a bit of Stilton, me.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- Me, too!- So does Catherine.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06It's dated 1933. Um, tenner? Someone start me at £10.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10Thank you. Ten at the front here. Do I see 12?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- 12 is bid. 15, sir?- Come on!
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- 15.- Yes!- 18.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- 18 is bid. - Oh, well done! That's a profit!
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- £20 gets it.- Yay! And you were worried about my Stilton scoop!
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- At £20. It's going. Selling at £20. - HE BANGS HAMMER
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Plus £5. Well, that's very fair. - We all like a bit of Stilton.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3228 minus five is minus 23.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35What you going to do about the propelling pencil?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Are you going to stick? Cos 23 could be a winning score.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41If I were you I might kind of quit,
0:36:41 > 0:36:43because the other pen didn't do brilliantly.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- I'm thinking pencils...- I think we should override Catherine.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- I think we should go for it. - Two against one.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Oh!- You've had it.- Had it!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55You tried to put them off pretty big-time there,
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- but they're not having any. - I have faith, Tim.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01We're going with the bonus buy.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05A late-Victorian ivory Morden Everpoint propelling pencil.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- Think I might run away now. - Bids on this to £25.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13With me at £25. I'll take 28 now. It's £25. Do I see 28?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- 28. 30.- Come on!
0:37:16 > 0:37:2032. 35. £35. Against you, sir, at £35.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Who'll bid me 40 now? It's £35. Against you all at £35.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Come on!- It's going at £35.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- And selling...- £35 is 15, 23,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- 28...- It's only money.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- It's minus 38, anyway.- Not so bad.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Minus 38 overall, which is not so bad, actually.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- It's only money, Tim. - I know. Bad luck on that,
0:37:40 > 0:37:44but it could be a winning score, so don't talk to the Blues.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Now, Tina and Babs, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- No. No idea, Tim. - Not a dicky of an idea?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- No.- Right. That's the way we like to keep it.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05First up is the box, and here it comes.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08And Arts and Crafts copper and Ruskin-mounted box.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- I'm excited about this.- I'm excited!
0:38:10 > 0:38:16And I have commission bids to 40... 60... 70.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- SHE LAUGHS - Well, you're in profit. That's good.
0:38:19 > 0:38:2275, 80. 85, 90.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- 95, 100.- Look at this go!
0:38:24 > 0:38:27One more might do it. It's £100 against you. And ten!
0:38:27 > 0:38:30- £110!- Well done!- At £110.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Do I see 120? Selling for £110, if you're all done. It's going at...
0:38:34 > 0:38:36You both together? £110!
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- THEY LAUGH - Nearly took another one there.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41That's two shy of 70, so that is plus 42!
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Look at that! Straight up, £42. You got the eye, doll, haven't you?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- I have.- You have got lovely eyes.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I mean, you found that in a shop, effectively,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56and turned it round in an auction for £42 profit. It's brilliant,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- so well done for that.- Thank you.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02Are we going to be able to say the same thing for the De Morgan tile?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Let's see what happens. - Late 19th-century
0:39:05 > 0:39:07William De Morgan Sands End pottery tile
0:39:07 > 0:39:10in the KL Rose pattern. There she is.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13And I have...£65.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Oh!- £65. Who'll bid me 70 now? Who'll bid me 70?
0:39:15 > 0:39:19At £65. I'll take 70, though. With me at 65.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- I don't believe this, Thomas. - 70. And five?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- It's £75. One more if you like. - Oh, dear!
0:39:25 > 0:39:29On the book still at £75. I shall sell, then,
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- if you're all finished, at £75. - That is minus £125.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37That is the cheapest William De Morgan tile I have seen sold
0:39:37 > 0:39:40at auction in the last 20 years.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42And when you think how much money he got for it...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I mean, the price it was in the shop...
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- Someone's just got a deal. - Yeah. So there we go, girls.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53That's the lap of the gods. Next up is the regimental hat badge.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- How much for this? - A silver regimental brooch
0:39:55 > 0:39:59for the Fourth Queen's Own Hussars. Someone start me at £10.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03£10 is bid. 12, sir? 12? 15, Jill?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06No? £12. With you, sir, at 12. Surely worth 15?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- Come on! - Any further interest? At £12.
0:40:08 > 0:40:1015.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13- Go on!- 18. 20.- You're in profit.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- One more! 22! £20 at the back there. Two anywhere else?- Go on!
0:40:17 > 0:40:21£20 it is, then, at the back. Any more? At £20.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23He's given up now. £20 and selling. All done.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Well, that's marvellous, Tom. That's plus £2.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29You were minus 83. You've just got two back.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31You are currently minus £81, all right?
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- £81 down the proverbial. - What are you going to do?- Yeah.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- You going to go with the bonus buy? - We've got to go with the bonus buy.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- You're going with that jug?- Yeah. - Lovely. All right. Decision made.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Now you've decided, I can tell you the auctioneer estimated it
0:40:46 > 0:40:48- at £20 to £30. - So we could make a little.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51And you only paid £14, so you should claw a bit back on that.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Here it comes. - This wonderful jug, Koloman Moser,
0:40:54 > 0:40:57textured-glass jug, by Hoffmann for Loetz,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- and I have £28. With me at £28. - Doubled your money, Tom.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04£28, and I'll take 30. It's surely worth 30.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07£30. 32.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Look at this. Go on!- Go on!
0:41:10 > 0:41:1335! Thank you. At £35.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16I'll take 38, though. It's £35, with the lady in the front here.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20At £35 and I'm selling. All done? Selling, £35.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23That is plus £21, Tom. You can't do better than that,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26my dear friend. Plus £21.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31Which means overall you are minus £60.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- OK?- It's a shame about the tile. We'd have done well without that.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- I know.- All right, all right! - We got some fantastic results there.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42It's a roller coaster, isn't it? You're minus 60.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46- It might be a winning score. Don't talk to the Reds!- We won't.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- So, teams - been chatting? - No.- Not comparing notes at all?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- No. - It should come as no secret to you
0:41:59 > 0:42:03that both teams sadly are not going home with any money today.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Oh!- So it's simply the scale of the losses
0:42:07 > 0:42:10which is going to determine who is ahead today.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13And the runners-up, I'm afraid to say, are the Blues.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- THEY GROAN - That's a bit of a shock!
0:42:16 > 0:42:20This is a team that made a profit on three of the four items.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Yeah.- And they still lost? - And they still lost.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26You have to hang on to the fact that, morally,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30you did achieve a great victory here, but financially, sadly,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33it went down the old proverbial, so bad luck.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37The victors, however, the father-and-son combo,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39have won by only managing to lose £38.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40THEY LAUGH
0:42:40 > 0:42:43But the Stilton scoop made you, strangely enough,
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- the only profit of the day, so well done.- Always had faith.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Always had faith! Anyway, have you had a nice time?
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- Brilliant time.- Well, congratulations on being our winners today,
0:42:53 > 0:42:57and join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
