Hello, there. Just getting my bearings,

0:00:020:00:05

because today's bargain hunters could be doing their hunting

0:00:050:00:09

in an arcade up there. They could be going in here,

0:00:090:00:13

or they could be down there! How confusing's that?

0:00:130:00:17

Let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:170:00:19

We're in Lewes today,

0:00:410:00:44

where our contestants have £300 and one hour

0:00:440:00:47

to find three bargains.

0:00:470:00:49

But wherever our teams happen to go, will they be heading for trouble?

0:00:490:00:54

Coming up, Catherine Southon struggles

0:00:560:00:59

to get on the Red Team's wavelength.

0:00:590:01:01

-Nice.

-That's quite spooky. SHE MAKES EERIE MOANING SOUND

0:01:010:01:06

Not for me. Screams "Kinder Egg", to be quite honest.

0:01:060:01:09

And Thomas Plant's team don't quite get the hang of teamwork.

0:01:090:01:14

-If it goes wrong, it's all your fault.

-Exactly.

-That's a good way of looking at it.

0:01:140:01:18

Let's have a look here.

0:01:180:01:20

I'm just going in the corner to cry.

0:01:200:01:23

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello.

-Lovely to see you.

0:01:240:01:27

Now, John, you share a couple of passions with your nipper, Craig.

0:01:270:01:33

What's the first passion you share?

0:01:330:01:35

The first one is that we're both very keen Chelsea supporters.

0:01:350:01:38

I've been supporting Chelsea for 40 years,

0:01:380:01:41

and Craig comes with me on a regular basis,

0:01:410:01:43

and we've been going for a long, long time.

0:01:430:01:46

-It's fun, isn't it?

-Excellent fun.

0:01:460:01:48

-The team is the team after all.

-Have a few drinks up there, as well.

0:01:480:01:51

-Never hurts.

-And what's your second passion?

0:01:510:01:54

We're both keen ghost-hunters, Tim.

0:01:540:01:57

I'm quite sceptic, to be honest, but it's more a jolly boys' outing.

0:01:570:02:01

But it's good fun, and when you're put in a dungeon at 4:00 AM

0:02:010:02:05

on your own, and you don't believe in any of it,

0:02:050:02:07

and you start to hear bangs and noises and knockings,

0:02:070:02:10

it's, um... It can test the old scruples a bit.

0:02:100:02:14

Yeah, I bet it does! But you do it deliberately to get scared,

0:02:140:02:17

-don't you?

-That's what it is, just to prove that you're man enough,

0:02:170:02:21

-and it's a load of rubbish.

-But we have a bellyful of beer, though.

0:02:210:02:24

-That's half the story.

-It comes to drink again!

0:02:240:02:27

-It does. Unfortunately it does.

-Have you ever been spooked?

0:02:270:02:31

One time we was in Chillingham Castle up in Northumberland,

0:02:310:02:34

and we had a dictaphone set on record,

0:02:340:02:38

and all of a sudden it, like, got really, really, really ice cold,

0:02:380:02:42

and it was quite spooky. There was a couple of taps

0:02:420:02:45

and knocks and stuff, and it was really quite freaky.

0:02:450:02:48

But it is true, then? You do believe?

0:02:480:02:51

Well, sort of sceptic, to be honest,

0:02:510:02:53

but that's always going to stick in my mind, that night.

0:02:530:02:57

John, you're currently undergoing a bit of a modern professional stance.

0:02:570:03:01

-What are you up to?

-I look after my two younger children

0:03:010:03:05

from my second marriage, who are six and 12.

0:03:050:03:08

My wife works full-time. They're growing up now,

0:03:080:03:11

so it'll be back to painting and decorating soon.

0:03:110:03:14

Would you prefer hanging wallpaper or looking after the little kids?

0:03:140:03:18

Hanging wallpaper. TIM LAUGHS

0:03:180:03:20

That's the honest answer to it, isn't it, actually?

0:03:200:03:23

-And what do you get up to, Craig?

-I'm a self-employed electrician.

0:03:230:03:26

-Oh, are you?

-Yeah.

-So you and your dad have got it covered,

0:03:260:03:30

with you doing the sparks and him decorating?

0:03:300:03:33

Yeah. We've worked before, haven't we?

0:03:330:03:35

-We have worked together.

-A lot of paint flew about.

0:03:350:03:38

Well, very, very good luck today. Now for the girls.

0:03:380:03:41

-Tina, how did you two girls meet?

-We both met at work

0:03:410:03:44

about three years ago, working for a very interesting financial company

0:03:440:03:49

in the city.

0:03:490:03:50

So you're producing information in a special way

0:03:500:03:54

that's assimilated by the banking and investment industry.

0:03:540:03:57

They make decisions based on that and they use the information.

0:03:570:04:01

It's no more interesting than that, I'm afraid!

0:04:010:04:03

-There's got to be something going on with it.

-The pay?

0:04:030:04:06

-THEY LAUGH

-Oh, would it? Yes.

0:04:060:04:09

But we almost lost you in the financial hierarchy,

0:04:090:04:13

because you wanted to be on the stage.

0:04:130:04:15

I've always wanted to be on the stage, since I was like that.

0:04:150:04:19

-Yeah.

-And in my, um, middle years, I had a bit of a mid-life crisis

0:04:190:04:23

-and decided to have a go at it.

-What did you do?

0:04:230:04:26

Went to acting school for a couple of years,

0:04:260:04:29

part-time, and worked full-time,

0:04:290:04:31

and then went off and did a few bits and pieces, and...

0:04:310:04:35

-Did you get anywhere with it?

-I decided it was too hard work!

0:04:350:04:38

Now, Babs, your passion is not of the four-wheeled kind

0:04:380:04:42

-but the two-wheeled kind, isn't it?

-That's right, yes.

0:04:420:04:44

I have a Harley at home, a little 883 custom

0:04:440:04:48

with various accessories on it, so it's quite blingy.

0:04:480:04:52

-Is it?

-Quite chromey and quite shiny.

0:04:520:04:54

And I do a lot of travelling in the UK on that,

0:04:540:04:57

but then we also have a Goldwing at home.

0:04:570:05:00

The thing that looks as if it's got two armchairs on the back.

0:05:000:05:03

Exactly. And it's got a CD player in the back,

0:05:030:05:07

and you plug the intercom in and you can chat to each other.

0:05:070:05:10

So, Tina, how do you think you girls will get on as a team?

0:05:100:05:14

-Barbara's going to be the sensible one.

-Yes.

0:05:140:05:17

-Barbara's got the eye.

-Has she?

-Yeah. And she likes painting and art.

0:05:170:05:21

Yeah. You've got the gift of the gab.

0:05:210:05:24

Kind or. Or not. THEY LAUGH

0:05:240:05:26

-You'll be in charge of marketing.

-I'll do the negotiations, possibly.

0:05:260:05:30

-We're going to have some fun.

-There's a flaw in my plan.

0:05:300:05:33

There is indeed. Now the money moment - there's your £300 apiece.

0:05:330:05:37

You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!

0:05:370:05:41

And very, very, very good luck. Wow!

0:05:410:05:44

Right! Let's get down to business.

0:05:450:05:48

-What will we do?

-Quirky.

-Something nice.

0:05:480:05:50

-You up for this, girls?

-Definitely.

-Yeah?

0:05:500:05:53

-Going to spend lots of money?

-Hopefully not.

0:05:550:05:57

-In there?

-That's for me.

-Come on! In, in!

0:05:570:06:01

-It's beautiful, isn't it?

-Yeah. I just looked at the price.

0:06:070:06:10

Little Art Nouveau box with a Ruskin mount to it.

0:06:130:06:16

-Circa 1910.

-I can't see any marks. Would it be marked?

0:06:160:06:20

It actually lifts off completely.

0:06:210:06:23

What's nice is you've got this revealed strap-work decoration.

0:06:230:06:27

You see the way they've revealed the way it's been made?

0:06:270:06:30

It's a real Arts and Crafts trait,

0:06:300:06:33

very diagnostic of that period.

0:06:330:06:35

Um, with very stylised floral top,

0:06:350:06:38

inset with Ruskin mount.

0:06:380:06:41

What's lovely again is that the copper hasn't been cleaned,

0:06:410:06:44

therefore it's still got that good patination to it.

0:06:440:06:48

-95, it is.

-That's a lot.

-I have a figure in mind

0:06:480:06:51

which I feel it should be purchased for.

0:06:510:06:54

OK!

0:06:540:06:56

-Hi.

-What would be the best price on that?

0:06:560:06:58

Um, 95... Would normally be 85 for trade,

0:06:580:07:01

-but 75 for the bargain hunters.

-What about 65?

0:07:010:07:04

That's a little bit tight. I think...

0:07:040:07:08

-Go on!

-68?

0:07:080:07:10

70. I'd say 70.

0:07:100:07:12

68?

0:07:120:07:14

-It's just a couple of pound off.

-OK.

0:07:140:07:17

-Does that sound about right?

-That's not bad.

0:07:170:07:19

You got a chance there. It's a £60 to £80 box.

0:07:190:07:22

-Well done. Five minutes into shopping -

-Well done!

0:07:220:07:25

-There you go.

-If it goes wrong, it's all your fault.

0:07:250:07:28

-Exactly.

-That's a good way of looking at it, isn't it?

0:07:280:07:31

'I was about to say, "Nice teamwork, Tina!"

0:07:310:07:34

'Anyway, that's mighty quick work, girls.'

0:07:340:07:37

Nice!

0:07:390:07:41

Nothing that's getting you excited, boys?

0:07:430:07:45

-Not at the moment.

-Not really.

0:07:450:07:47

'Some people are just hard to please.'

0:07:470:07:50

-Oh!

-THEY LAUGH

0:07:500:07:52

Over my dead body are you buying that.

0:07:520:07:55

-What about a dog's head?

-Hmm...

0:07:560:07:59

-Nice.

-That's quite spooky. SHE MAKES EERIE MOANING SOUND

0:07:590:08:02

'She's lost it, folks.'

0:08:030:08:06

That's quirky!

0:08:060:08:08

Not for me.

0:08:080:08:10

OK, really interesting.

0:08:130:08:15

William De Morgan, an Arts and Crafts potter.

0:08:150:08:18

This tile here is a copy of a very famous De Morgan tile.

0:08:180:08:22

-Oh, right.

-This is an original tile.

0:08:220:08:25

This is a copy of a tile.

0:08:250:08:27

So therefore, at £110,

0:08:270:08:30

it's not worth even dealing with.

0:08:300:08:32

-This one here, at 280, World's End Pottery...

-280!

0:08:320:08:35

It's a lot of money for a tile, but it is De Morgan.

0:08:350:08:38

-So it's the real thing.

-It is the real McCoy,

0:08:380:08:40

and a popular collection.

0:08:400:08:42

You have got a bit of a damage there,

0:08:420:08:45

there and there.

0:08:450:08:47

If it was in perfect condition, it's a £300 to £500 tile.

0:08:470:08:50

-Wow!

-The other tile you looked at...

-It's more modern?

0:08:500:08:54

No. This is a correct tile from the period.

0:08:540:08:56

It's slightly later in date. This is Art Nouveau, British Art Nouveau,

0:08:560:09:01

so more restrained. This is 1860s, 1870s.

0:09:010:09:04

This is 1910.

0:09:040:09:06

You can see the change immediately in the British Arts and Crafts.

0:09:060:09:10

You've got an interesting history here of these things.

0:09:100:09:13

-Well done!

-If we got a really good deal on that,

0:09:130:09:16

-it's worth going...

-What would be a good deal?

0:09:160:09:18

Well, I mean, a really good deal is £180.

0:09:180:09:22

OK. Do you want to take the lead on that one?

0:09:220:09:24

-I'll ask.

-OK.

0:09:240:09:26

'The girls like beauty. The boys like creepy.'

0:09:270:09:31

-What do you think of this?

-Um...

-It's a brooch, I take it. Yeah?

0:09:310:09:35

Yeah. A lady's brooch. Not an awful lot, to be honest.

0:09:350:09:39

I don't think it's particularly fine.

0:09:400:09:42

It's not the best quality.

0:09:420:09:44

-What do you think, Craig?

-Screams "Kinder Egg" to me.

0:09:440:09:48

Looks like it's out of a cracker, yeah?

0:09:480:09:50

I don't think that's...

0:09:500:09:52

'If that was in my Christmas cracker, I'd send it back.'

0:09:520:09:56

We've had 20 minutes? No!

0:09:570:09:59

'Boys, you need to get your skates on.

0:09:590:10:02

'How's the negotiation, Thomas?'

0:10:020:10:04

-What's the deal?

-£200 is OK.

-Oh, really?

0:10:050:10:07

-Yeah.

-Oh, that's very sweet. It is a good discount.

0:10:070:10:11

-Oh, look who we've got.

-You should do it.

-You reckon?

0:10:110:10:13

There's no point in life without taking a risk.

0:10:130:10:16

-We're being nobbled. We're being nobbled!

-Hello!

0:10:160:10:20

I'm being cheeky and seeing what you're buying.

0:10:200:10:22

What do you think we're buying out of these two?

0:10:220:10:25

-That's the nicer one.

-That's the one we're buying.

0:10:250:10:28

-That's much better.

-That's horrible. We don't like that at all.

0:10:280:10:32

-Is he telling you that one?

-Yeah.

0:10:320:10:35

Is that the one we put aside earlier?

0:10:350:10:37

-Oh, yeah. We've reserved that one!

-Off you...

0:10:370:10:41

Off my patch!

0:10:410:10:43

'Come on, teams! Concentrate on your own shopping.'

0:10:430:10:46

-What do you want to do?

-Let's go for it.

0:10:460:10:48

-£200...

-You're worried, aren't you?

0:10:480:10:51

-We've got how much left?

-£32.

0:10:510:10:54

32 quid left, and you've got a bonus buy to buy out of that.

0:10:540:10:58

Yeah. You know, it doesn't matter. You could buy something for a fiver.

0:10:580:11:01

You could buy something for £30 and leave me two.

0:11:010:11:04

-I don't care.

-You could buy a new tie.

0:11:040:11:06

-What is wrong with this tie?

-THEY LAUGH

0:11:060:11:09

'Do you really have to ask?'

0:11:090:11:11

'Now, John, Craig, there must be something you like in here.'

0:11:130:11:18

That's a nicer spider. I prefer that one.

0:11:180:11:21

People don't often wear these brooches. That's the problem.

0:11:210:11:24

'Now, viewers, a word in your shell-likes.'

0:11:260:11:29

How are you on conchology?

0:11:290:11:31

Good? Well, marvellous!

0:11:310:11:33

You can help me identify some of these shells I've found.

0:11:330:11:37

What do you think about this fella?

0:11:370:11:39

Just look at the colour!

0:11:390:11:42

It's got that salmon-pink ground to it.

0:11:420:11:45

It's a sort of shell from an exotic location.

0:11:450:11:49

This one, pretty similar look,

0:11:500:11:52

but with these scridgy-type lines on,

0:11:520:11:55

and this fellow, he's got a bad attack of acne.

0:11:550:11:58

Serious black and brown splodges all over his knobbly carcase.

0:11:580:12:05

Now, all I've done is to come to Lewes

0:12:050:12:08

to discover these three shells.

0:12:080:12:11

It's cost me about £6.50.

0:12:110:12:14

But just look what you can do with these shells,

0:12:140:12:17

or at least what they did with them in the old days.

0:12:170:12:21

Here we've got a perfectly straightforward little clam

0:12:210:12:24

that some Victorian mother has stuffed with a piece of velvet

0:12:240:12:29

to make it into an attractive little pincushion.

0:12:290:12:33

Cost? £3 here in the market.

0:12:330:12:37

And just look at the next little baby. See?

0:12:370:12:40

It's a curlicue shell, and you've got a little handle on the side,

0:12:400:12:44

and if I pull on the end,

0:12:440:12:47

it reveals a gorgeous purple tape measure,

0:12:470:12:50

and similarly we've got another bit of purple velvet

0:12:500:12:55

to complete the pincushion effect.

0:12:550:12:58

Cost? £6.

0:12:580:13:02

And the last one is, I think, very special.

0:13:020:13:05

Have you ever seen such a gorgeous thing?

0:13:050:13:10

This fellow, £10.

0:13:100:13:13

Look at that lot!

0:13:130:13:15

A clutch on top of my teak-top telephone table.

0:13:150:13:19

Perfect!

0:13:190:13:21

'Right, back to the shopping! Time's marching on.

0:13:210:13:25

'The Blues have two items,

0:13:250:13:27

'the Reds...nothing.'

0:13:270:13:30

-Are either of you whisky drinkers?

-No, but I could be.

0:13:300:13:33

-You could be, at a price?

-Mm-hm.

0:13:330:13:35

What do you think about this?

0:13:350:13:37

Whisky decanter.

0:13:370:13:39

This is a promotional piece that was make to promote John Haig whisky.

0:13:390:13:44

-Are you familiar with the whisky?

-I am indeed.

0:13:440:13:47

There's the name at the bottom. It's in great shape!

0:13:470:13:50

What's nice, this one lifted up here,

0:13:500:13:52

-and you've got the hallmark there. Can you see that?

-Yeah.

0:13:520:13:56

-Oh, yeah.

-So that's Birmingham, and that's a K,

0:13:560:13:59

so that's about '34, 1934, '35.

0:13:590:14:01

I think that's quite nice, isn't it? It's a nice little thing.

0:14:010:14:04

-I actually do like that.

-Could you become a whisky drinker?

0:14:040:14:08

I could be. What would this be made of?

0:14:080:14:10

I think we'd call it white metal. I don't think it is silver.

0:14:100:14:13

That's been applied to the glass. Love the shape of it,

0:14:130:14:17

love the thistle pattern. I wouldn't say it's of the finest quality,

0:14:170:14:21

the way that this has been cut out, but at the end of the day,

0:14:210:14:24

-it was made as a promotional piece.

-Do collectors of this...

0:14:240:14:28

Oh, absolutely, yeah. So what do you think about this?

0:14:280:14:31

-I actually like it.

-Yeah?

-Do you like that?

0:14:310:14:33

-I do.

-Can I ask you, sir,

0:14:330:14:35

-how much do you want for this?

-The asking price is 85.

0:14:350:14:38

-We can do it for 65.

-65.

-Is the best.

0:14:380:14:41

How much do you think that could fetch at auction?

0:14:410:14:44

I think they'd probably put that in at about 60 to 80.

0:14:440:14:47

-60 to 80?

-Yeah.

0:14:470:14:49

-And I think it should make more.

-That sounds good.

0:14:490:14:51

-Does sound good.

-I'm happy with that.

0:14:510:14:53

-Do you want to get that as your first item?

-Definitely.

-I think so.

0:14:530:14:57

-We'll have that. Thank you so much!

-'Hurrah!

0:14:570:14:59

'They're off the mark, and not a moment too soon.

0:14:590:15:03

'But it's not time to relax yet, chaps. Oh, no!'

0:15:030:15:06

I really feel this should be Tina's choice.

0:15:080:15:10

-Leaving it up to me now?

-It's all up to you.

0:15:100:15:12

I'm not looking.

0:15:120:15:15

Fire pump. You put your foot on there...

0:15:200:15:23

-Underneath, and the hose there.

-Rubber hose in there.

0:15:230:15:26

-And then you pump that and spray, yeah?

-I guess.

0:15:260:15:30

'I think I'd rather call the fire brigade.'

0:15:300:15:32

We've got 32, and you need some money left over.

0:15:320:15:35

-I do need a little bit of money.

-If he did it for 25,

0:15:350:15:38

-would that give you enough?

-I don't mind.

0:15:380:15:41

I'm not worried about what you leave me.

0:15:410:15:43

-Would you do it for 25?

-28's the best.

0:15:430:15:46

-28's the best, yeah.

-That leaves you with £4.

0:15:460:15:49

You'll never find anything for £4. You never know!

0:15:490:15:53

-Barbara, you're full of hot air.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:15:560:15:59

Couple of items might be more expensive.

0:15:590:16:02

Oh, I suppose if there's that for 12...

0:16:020:16:04

All right. You've blown my theory out of the water.

0:16:040:16:07

I'm just going in the corner to cry.

0:16:070:16:10

-Oh, what do I like, what do I like?

-'Bargains?'

0:16:110:16:14

-What is it actually made of?

-This is Black Forest.

0:16:180:16:21

-It's some sort of warrior.

-Hmm!

0:16:210:16:24

Do you like that? Quite nicely done, isn't it?

0:16:240:16:27

-What do you think?

-How much is he asking?

0:16:270:16:30

-45 on that.

-Hmm...

0:16:300:16:31

The good side about it is, it is quite nicely carved.

0:16:310:16:35

Just the bottom bit, the condition's worrying me.

0:16:350:16:38

Would that clean up, if anybody wanted to...

0:16:380:16:40

-The top half is quite nice.

-You probably could,

0:16:400:16:43

but to be honest, I don't know that you'd really want to,

0:16:430:16:46

because people wouldn't collect it as a pen,

0:16:460:16:49

unlike they collect their Parkers and Mont Blancs and whatever.

0:16:490:16:53

You'd collect this more as a novel Black Forest object, wouldn't you?

0:16:530:16:57

-We've got 45 on this.

-45. Best price 35.

0:16:570:17:01

-30?

-If you ask nicely, 30's OK.

-I'll ask nicely.

0:17:010:17:05

-Go on, then. 30 quid it is.

-Thank you.

-Happy with that?

0:17:050:17:08

-Yes. More than happy.

-Happy?

-Yeah.

0:17:080:17:10

OK. Thank you very much. We'll take that as our second item.

0:17:100:17:13

'Yes! In a matter of minutes, the boys have caught up.'

0:17:130:17:17

-Blow torch. You like that, do you?

-It's too much.

0:17:170:17:20

-How much have we got?

-32.

0:17:200:17:22

32. Tall order, isn't it, for you?

0:17:220:17:25

-Let's not fret.

-OK. Not fretting. This is the face of not fretting.

0:17:280:17:32

-Can I put one swerve ball in?

-Go.

-OK.

0:17:360:17:39

This is a sweetheart brooch. It's in silver, Birmingham.

0:17:390:17:44

And it's obviously a cavalry regiment,

0:17:440:17:46

because we've got a horseshoe. Let's see what regiment it is.

0:17:460:17:50

It's the Queen's Own Hussars, so it's Victorian,

0:17:510:17:55

and you've got the Crimea Wars,

0:17:550:18:00

and you've got the Napoleonic Wars as well here.

0:18:000:18:04

It would have been worn by an officer's wife...

0:18:040:18:07

-Oh, really?

-..as her husband was in the Hussars,

0:18:070:18:09

for a regimental dinner, or out and about with her coat, etc.

0:18:090:18:14

It's within your budget, it's silver...

0:18:140:18:16

-Do these holes mean they could turn it into a necklace?

-Probably.

0:18:160:18:20

It could have been mounted on something

0:18:200:18:22

and then converted into a brooch. I know it's something I spotted.

0:18:220:18:26

Military items are quite popular. It's in silver.

0:18:260:18:29

We can catalogue it correctly - the Queen's Own Hussars,

0:18:290:18:33

-Fourth Regiment.

-OK. You've sold it to me.

0:18:330:18:36

And me.

0:18:360:18:38

-What price would you give us on that?

-Er, 18.

0:18:380:18:42

-18. If I gave you 15?

-I can't do it.

0:18:420:18:46

-You won't go any lower than 18 at all?

-No.

0:18:460:18:48

-Shall we do it?

-Yeah, we can do it.

0:18:480:18:51

That leaves us... That leaves you with plenty of money!

0:18:510:18:54

-Well, I wouldn't say "plenty".

-In comparison to what you expected.

0:18:540:18:58

-It's over a tenner.

-OK. Let's do it. Yeah.

-We'll do it.

0:18:580:19:02

-£18. Thank you very much.

-Well done, girls. Well done.

0:19:020:19:05

-Three items.

-I'm so glad I picked that.

0:19:050:19:07

-THEY LAUGH

-'Not quite your find, Tina,

0:19:070:19:11

'but close enough. The girls are done.

0:19:110:19:14

'Let's remind ourselves what they bought.

0:19:140:19:17

'First, Barbara got Arts and Crafty with the Ruskin box for £68.

0:19:170:19:23

'Thomas was impressed with £200 worth of William De Morgan tile.

0:19:240:19:29

'And for £18, Tina marched to Thomas's drum

0:19:290:19:33

'with the silver regimental brooch.'

0:19:330:19:36

-Done and dusted.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

0:19:360:19:39

-Literally with minutes...

-Not long to spare.

0:19:390:19:41

-Not long to spare.

-And not much money to spare.

0:19:410:19:44

No. What's your overall total?

0:19:440:19:45

Er, 286.

0:19:450:19:49

286. That means I want £14 of leftover lolly.

0:19:490:19:52

-That's about what you've got.

-Where is it coming from? Well done.

0:19:520:19:55

£14 of leftover lolly. How exciting!

0:19:550:19:58

Anyway, good luck with your £14, Thomas, and good luck, girls.

0:19:580:20:02

-Chaps, do you like your cheeses?

-Not particularly, but carry on.

0:20:060:20:10

-Depends which one.

-Do you like Stilton?

-No.

0:20:100:20:14

-Not personally, no.

-So you wouldn't have a nice dinner party

0:20:140:20:17

-with a big lump of Stilton?

-Definitely not.

0:20:170:20:19

You won't like this, then. I think this is rather nice.

0:20:190:20:23

Stilton scoop. Nice ivory handle there.

0:20:230:20:26

Lovely thing! Dated 1908.

0:20:260:20:30

It's got a maker's initials as well.

0:20:300:20:33

Ticket price, 23.

0:20:340:20:36

-I've had a word. 15.

-Really?

0:20:360:20:39

I think that's a nice little thing.

0:20:390:20:41

-How often do you see your Stilton scoops?

-This is true.

0:20:410:20:44

-SHE LAUGHS True.

-Do you not like it?

0:20:440:20:47

I'm happy to go with that if you are, Craig.

0:20:470:20:49

-I'll trust your judgement.

-Oh, Craig! Do you like this, though?

0:20:490:20:53

No, because I don't like cheese, but...

0:20:530:20:55

-THEY LAUGH

-It's not about me.

0:20:550:20:57

We could use it is a kind of ice-cream scoop, maybe.

0:20:570:21:02

-THEY LAUGH

-A very...

-We could do, I suppose.

0:21:020:21:04

I'm getting desperate here.

0:21:040:21:06

Maybe, like, pickle...

0:21:060:21:09

-Pickles! Pickles. Like it.

-Yeah. I trust your judgement.

0:21:090:21:13

-Do you?

-Yeah. More than happy.

-Definitely.

0:21:130:21:15

I do like this, and I do think that...

0:21:150:21:18

-Do you know who'd like this? Tim.

-Really?

-Tim would like this.

0:21:180:21:22

'I'll be the judge of that, thank you!'

0:21:220:21:25

-Tim would probably buy this.

-Could we sell it to Tim?

0:21:250:21:27

Sadly not, but I think he might like something like that.

0:21:270:21:31

-I think it's good, for £15.

-Yep. I'm happy.

0:21:310:21:33

-Yeah. You can't go wrong with it.

-Final item?

-Final item.

0:21:330:21:36

-Final item.

-Done.

-Done!

0:21:360:21:39

'And that's the Red Team finished, too.

0:21:390:21:42

'So, what did they buy?

0:21:420:21:45

'After 40 minutes, the Reds went for the whisky bottle at £65.

0:21:450:21:49

'John went quirky with the £30 Black Forest carved pen.

0:21:520:21:56

'And at £15, the Stilton scoop is anything but cheesy!'

0:21:560:22:02

-Ah!

-Have you finished yet?

0:22:020:22:05

-We have.

-Just finished.

-Well done. Isn't that lovely?

0:22:050:22:08

-How much did you spend overall?

-110?

-110.

0:22:080:22:11

£110? That's pathetic, isn't it? I mean, that's no money!

0:22:110:22:15

So, £190 of leftover lolly, please, wherever that is.

0:22:150:22:20

-Have to dig deep.

-You don't like this, do you?

0:22:200:22:22

-There you go.

-There we go. What are you going to do with £190?

0:22:220:22:26

-Haven't the foggiest, Tim, actually.

-Have you not?

-No.

0:22:260:22:29

But I will find something that will bring a smile to your face.

0:22:290:22:33

I think she's got something up her sleeve.

0:22:330:22:35

-You had a great time, though?

-Really did.

0:22:350:22:38

And good luck, Catherine.

0:22:380:22:40

Good luck indeed! Now, come with me to Brighton.

0:22:410:22:44

In 1786, George, Prince of Wales, visited Brighton

0:22:470:22:51

to escape the stresses of London.

0:22:510:22:54

When he got here, he needed a palace, so he built this!

0:22:540:22:58

He was broke and in debt, but it didn't stop him spending.

0:23:020:23:06

At one end of the Royal Pavilion is the banqueting room.

0:23:080:23:13

George sure enjoyed his food!

0:23:130:23:16

He also enjoyed building onto Brighton Pavilion.

0:23:160:23:21

This place simply got bigger...

0:23:220:23:25

..and bigger...

0:23:260:23:28

and bigger...

0:23:280:23:29

until we arrive here

0:23:290:23:32

in the magnificent music room.

0:23:320:23:36

Is this not the most extraordinary,

0:23:360:23:40

fantasy-land-type room?

0:23:400:23:43

Alongside his great passion for food,

0:23:460:23:49

the Prince Regent absolutely adored music.

0:23:490:23:54

In 1823, he enjoyed in this room

0:23:540:23:57

a performance by the great Italian composer, Rossini.

0:23:570:24:02

The most extraordinary feature has to be this dome.

0:24:020:24:07

Just look at that! It makes you feel quite dizzy

0:24:070:24:10

just looking up.

0:24:100:24:13

The whole thing proportionally takes your eye

0:24:140:24:18

to the centre, which of course is the pendant boss

0:24:180:24:22

supporting this massive and just extraordinary central chandelier.

0:24:220:24:28

Completely mad!

0:24:280:24:31

What intrigues me is, how do you achieve

0:24:330:24:36

this incredibly rich internal decorative effect?

0:24:360:24:41

Well, the Prince Regent spotted a young man

0:24:410:24:44

called Frederick Crace.

0:24:440:24:47

Crace he had noticed in his London home in Carlton House Terrace

0:24:470:24:52

as an expert gilder and decorator,

0:24:520:24:55

and indeed, it was Frederick Crace

0:24:550:24:58

who essentially came up with the decorative scheme

0:24:580:25:01

for this, the music room.

0:25:010:25:03

The walls themselves are a series of painted canvasses

0:25:030:25:09

which have been painted almost in imitation

0:25:090:25:12

of Chinese lacquered screens,

0:25:120:25:15

hence the really deep, almost lacquer effect

0:25:150:25:18

of the red and gold in combination.

0:25:180:25:23

The whimsical, fun part of it, though,

0:25:230:25:26

is illustrated by the dragon at the top

0:25:260:25:29

that seems to spew forth an immense conger eel

0:25:290:25:33

which is entwined behind the fake column.

0:25:330:25:37

The focal point on this side of the room, though,

0:25:370:25:40

is the fireplace itself, which is a reproduction,

0:25:400:25:44

because when Queen Victoria sold Brighton Pavilion,

0:25:440:25:48

she thought it was going to be demolished,

0:25:480:25:50

and she removed a number of the internal fittings,

0:25:500:25:54

and the original today is at Buckingham Palace.

0:25:540:25:59

What I think is completely killing in this space

0:25:590:26:02

is that Frederick Crace, the man who's created all these images

0:26:020:26:08

of China, never went any further east

0:26:080:26:12

than Dover.

0:26:120:26:15

Of course, the big question today is,

0:26:150:26:17

where exactly are our teams going to be sent -

0:26:170:26:20

north, south, east or west, or simply bust?

0:26:200:26:24

Can you think of a better place to be? In the middle of West Sussex,

0:26:350:26:39

Wisborough Green, Bellmans saleroom. Jonathan Pratt, our host.

0:26:390:26:43

-How are you, JP?

-Very good, Tim.

-Excellent. It's lovely to be here.

0:26:430:26:47

And John and Craig have gone with

0:26:470:26:49

-this dimple-shaped Haig whisky bottle.

-Yeah.

0:26:490:26:52

And then of course they've onlaid this silver pattern on it,

0:26:520:26:55

-full of thistles, which is very nice.

-Yeah!

0:26:550:26:58

And whacked on a stopper. How do you rate that?

0:26:580:27:02

It's quite a nice object, really. Decanters aren't easy to sell,

0:27:020:27:06

but it's got more of a story about it.

0:27:060:27:09

-Yeah.

-So I quite like it, really.

0:27:090:27:11

-What's this worth?

-£20 to £30.

0:27:110:27:13

Is that all? They paid £65, our lads.

0:27:130:27:15

-It's a come-and-get-me estimate.

-Oh, I see.

-Maybe.

0:27:150:27:19

One of your tempters.

0:27:190:27:21

Now, what do you make of this thing, this wee pen?

0:27:210:27:23

-Well, it's really nice quality.

-Seriously well detailed, isn't it?

0:27:230:27:28

It's the typical output of the Black Forest.

0:27:280:27:31

They made an industry out of souvenirs with these.

0:27:310:27:34

The quality's very good, and that would suggest less commercial.

0:27:340:27:37

You wouldn't spend as much time on it to sell as a souvenir.

0:27:370:27:40

-What do you think it's worth? Guesstimate?

-£20, £30.

0:27:400:27:43

£30 paid. And lastly, the cheese scoop,

0:27:430:27:47

-which is only plate, isn't it?

-Yep. Only plate.

0:27:470:27:50

And if you were selling this, it would go in a box with about, er...

0:27:500:27:54

A million other things, yes.

0:27:540:27:56

-I mean, who uses those any more?

-Christmas.

0:27:560:27:59

-Half a Stilton, have a dig.

-Do you still?

-Yeah.

0:27:590:28:02

Bung a bit of port wine in the middle.

0:28:020:28:04

Lasts you over the Christmas break.

0:28:040:28:06

Get bored with it, make it into soup.

0:28:060:28:08

It's difficult, a one-off piece like that. Is it worth a fiver?

0:28:080:28:12

-Is it worth £10?

-Our minimum bid's £10, and I've stuck it there.

0:28:120:28:15

OK. They paid £15, so there's not a lot in that, either.

0:28:150:28:18

Anyway, if the decanter does badly, they're sunk,

0:28:180:28:23

in which case they'll need the bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.

0:28:230:28:27

OK, John and Craig. This is the bonus-buy moment.

0:28:270:28:30

Catherine's going to reveal what she spent your £190 on.

0:28:300:28:33

-Are you ready for this, chaps?

-Ready.

0:28:330:28:35

I bought you this...

0:28:350:28:37

-What's that?

-..which is...

0:28:370:28:39

a little ivory Victorian propelling pencil.

0:28:390:28:43

-Mm-hm.

-So you turn this here,

0:28:430:28:45

and then the lead comes out there. That's all ivory.

0:28:450:28:50

And it's quite nice cos we got the maker's name here,

0:28:500:28:53

-Mordan, as in Sampson & Mordan.

-How much did you pay for this?

0:28:530:28:57

I did actually pay quite a bit for it.

0:28:570:28:59

-I paid 50.

-50?

-I know. It is quite a nice sun,

0:28:590:29:03

but I just thought it was quite a cute little pencil.

0:29:030:29:05

What do you think we can make?

0:29:050:29:07

I'd like to see it make a few pounds, maybe - five, ten.

0:29:070:29:11

It might just take off.

0:29:110:29:13

-Hope it does.

-I actually quite like it.

0:29:130:29:15

Oh, do you? Oh, I am pleased. What do you think?

0:29:150:29:18

-I trust your judgement.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

0:29:180:29:21

-Thousands wouldn't.

-SHE LAUGHS

0:29:210:29:24

But Sampson Mordan are the big name...

0:29:240:29:26

-Absolutely.

-..in 19th-century pencil makers.

0:29:260:29:29

We had no biros. There's no easy writing system

0:29:290:29:33

in the 19th century. You got a pen and ink,

0:29:330:29:36

which you can't be carting around with you.

0:29:360:29:39

How do you make a note about anything quickly?

0:29:390:29:41

You can only use a pencil,

0:29:410:29:43

and the propelling pencil was kind of the ultimate

0:29:430:29:47

-in writing utensils. And he's a big name, isn't he?

-Absolutely.

0:29:470:29:51

-Are we looking at 1880, 1890?

-About that sort of time, yeah.

0:29:510:29:55

-Oh, I like that.

-OK. Make a note of what Catherine's told you.

0:29:550:29:58

-THEY LAUGH

-Because you don't have to pick now.

0:29:580:30:01

You pick after the sale of your first three items.

0:30:010:30:04

Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little pencil.

0:30:040:30:08

There we go. Look at that.

0:30:090:30:11

Looks as if it's 1930s, but it can't be, can it?

0:30:110:30:14

I've described it as late Victorian, but it might be early 20th century.

0:30:140:30:18

Sampson Mordan started about 1840s, I think.

0:30:180:30:20

And the patent was the propelling pencil.

0:30:200:30:23

Yeah, a silver one. The silver ones are two a penny.

0:30:230:30:27

If you're going to buy one, maybe this is more attractive.

0:30:270:30:30

But it's ivory again. People do turn their noses up a bit

0:30:300:30:33

to this sort of thing. But it works.

0:30:330:30:35

-How much?

-£15. £15 to £20.

0:30:350:30:38

Catherine will be disappointed. She paid £50 for that.

0:30:380:30:42

-Let's hope it makes £50, for her sake.

-Yeah.

0:30:420:30:45

That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:30:450:30:47

First up is the Arts and Crafts Ruskin-mounted little box.

0:30:470:30:52

-That's charming.

-Isn't it? Just the business, really.

0:30:520:30:55

It's one flat piece of metal, folded,

0:30:550:30:57

and these joins just riveted in.

0:30:570:30:59

This turquoise cabochon of pottery by Ruskin, or Ruskinesque, anyway,

0:30:590:31:04

but very typical of Arts and Crafts. Great shape.

0:31:040:31:08

-Nice colour.

-Yeah! It's a great thing.

0:31:080:31:11

-How much?

-£60, £90.

0:31:110:31:13

Perfect! £68 they paid.

0:31:130:31:16

I thought for a minute there it was going to be Thomas spending £150!

0:31:160:31:20

No. Thomas went really strongly on the De Morgan tile.

0:31:200:31:24

Not quite sure what that is, really. It's a sunflower, is it?

0:31:240:31:27

It's in the De Morgan book. It's called KL Rose pattern.

0:31:270:31:31

Good for you. You've done some research on it.

0:31:310:31:34

And what sort of value would you put on a De Morgan tile like that?

0:31:340:31:38

On a good day I think it would make £100,

0:31:380:31:40

but I put 60 to 90, trying to lead to it.

0:31:400:31:43

-Yes. Thomas paid £200.

-That is a lot of money.

0:31:430:31:46

-It is.

-I mean, it can make lots of money.

0:31:460:31:48

Gosh, it can make money, and it is a name

0:31:480:31:51

-that draws collectors very strongly.

-Oh, yeah.

-Well, we'll see.

0:31:510:31:55

-What about the brooch?

-Regimental brooch

0:31:550:31:58

for the Fourth Queen's Own Hussars.

0:31:580:32:01

It's not completely hallmarked,

0:32:010:32:03

which makes me think it might have been altered very slightly.

0:32:030:32:07

If you're regimentally inclined, that is a little peach.

0:32:070:32:11

But it's not... No-one's going to part with £50 for it.

0:32:110:32:15

-No, no. What's your estimate?

-Ten to 15.

0:32:150:32:18

OK. They paid 18. It's a nice little brooch.

0:32:180:32:20

It's got its regimental interest,

0:32:200:32:22

and somebody might have a poke at it.

0:32:220:32:25

But what's going to let them down, I fancy,

0:32:250:32:28

is old William De Morgan and his tile,

0:32:280:32:31

in which case they'll need the bonus buy,

0:32:310:32:33

so let's go and have a look at it.

0:32:330:32:35

-Right, then, Tina and Babs. This is your bonus-buy moment.

-OK.

0:32:350:32:39

You gave the boy £14. What did he spend it on? Thomas.

0:32:390:32:44

This is quite an interesting jug. It's about 1909,

0:32:440:32:47

Koloman Moser for Loetz. Loetz, which is a glass manufacturer...

0:32:470:32:52

-OK.

-..in Bohemia, Austria,

0:32:520:32:55

and Koloman Moser a seminal designer

0:32:550:32:59

from the Vienna Secession period, and this is a crackle-glaze jug

0:32:590:33:04

in the larger format. You get the smaller-format one.

0:33:040:33:06

-I have sold these for about £80.

-Really?

-Wow!

-Yes.

0:33:060:33:10

-And you paid...

-£14.

-Watch his lips.

0:33:100:33:13

-Yeah.

-So this could do quite well if the right people are here for it.

0:33:130:33:18

-That design is quite "moderne".

-You could use it today.

0:33:180:33:22

And it would look lovely with a beverage in there.

0:33:220:33:25

-And what could be nicer than that, Babs?

-Exactly.

0:33:250:33:27

Now, this looks as if it's badly cracked.

0:33:280:33:31

-Yes.

-It's quite a clever technique, though - the crackle finish.

0:33:310:33:36

Yeah. It's very interesting. I like the integral hand.

0:33:360:33:40

-It's very functional.

-Almost like a tankard.

0:33:400:33:43

-Have a drink out of it rather than pouring.

-Well, why not?

0:33:430:33:45

-THEY LAUGH

-Greedy-guts!

0:33:450:33:48

I rather like it, actually. I mean, it doesn't scream...

0:33:480:33:52

Koloman Moser was, like, a Vienna Secessionist designer.

0:33:520:33:57

It doesn't scream out that sort of...

0:33:570:34:00

-the typical design you see for that period.

-No.

0:34:000:34:03

But it looks up, and one or two examples have solid auction bids.

0:34:030:34:07

-Right. And what do you think it might bring?

-£20, £30.

0:34:070:34:09

-Great. £14 paid.

-Very good.

-Thomas has done well.

0:34:090:34:12

-Yeah.

-Good. Well, we're almost ready for the off.

0:34:120:34:15

-Cheers.

-And excited about it! Thank you, Jonathan.

0:34:150:34:19

-OK, John and Craig. How you feeling?

-Excited.

0:34:250:34:28

This is just the moment, isn't it? To be here,

0:34:280:34:31

on the edge of the auction, and nobody knows how it will go.

0:34:310:34:35

We've got a crowded room. That's good.

0:34:350:34:37

The first item is going to be your decanter.

0:34:370:34:40

£65 you paid for that, and here it comes.

0:34:400:34:43

Lot 1780A, and I've got lots of interest in this lot.

0:34:430:34:47

-Oh, good.

-That would be nice.

0:34:470:34:49

-£65.

-20. 25.

0:34:490:34:51

30, 30. £40. Straight in at 40.

0:34:510:34:55

-Come on. Keep going, Jonathan.

-£40. Who'll bid me five?

0:34:550:34:58

-Back of the room gets it at 45. Do I see 50?

-Come on.

0:34:580:35:00

-Bit more.

-With you, sir, at 45.

0:35:000:35:02

50 anywhere else? At £45. I shall sell at £45.

0:35:020:35:06

-Trouble!

-Straight in, then, at £45...

0:35:060:35:10

-£45.

-Never mind.

0:35:100:35:12

That is minus £20. I don't believe it.

0:35:120:35:15

That is ridiculous. £45, and it's a lovely thing, that!

0:35:150:35:18

-And he said "lots of bids".

-Well, he had got lots of bids.

0:35:180:35:21

-They got a bargain.

-Lots of low bids.

0:35:210:35:23

Well, between 20 and 45.

0:35:230:35:25

Lot 1781A, Black Forest carved-wood pen

0:35:250:35:28

with figure or finial. £10 I'm bid. Straight in at ten.

0:35:280:35:32

-Who'll bid me 12? 12.

-Keep going.

-Stopping at £15.

0:35:320:35:36

-18. 20.

-Yes.

-£22 gets it now. At 22.

0:35:360:35:39

Do I see 25? 22 with you, sir. £25 anywhere else?

0:35:390:35:43

-Come on!

-It's £22. On the left at 22.

0:35:430:35:46

Do I see 25? Are we all done? It's yours, sir. At £22 it's going.

0:35:460:35:50

At £22.

0:35:500:35:52

They're sitting on their hands!

0:35:520:35:55

-Nothing.

-Oh, dear.

0:35:550:35:57

Next up is the Stilton scoop. I love a bit of Stilton, me.

0:35:570:36:01

-Me, too!

-So does Catherine.

0:36:010:36:03

It's dated 1933. Um, tenner? Someone start me at £10.

0:36:030:36:06

Thank you. Ten at the front here. Do I see 12?

0:36:060:36:10

-12 is bid. 15, sir?

-Come on!

0:36:100:36:14

-15.

-Yes!

-18.

0:36:140:36:16

-18 is bid.

-Oh, well done! That's a profit!

0:36:160:36:19

-£20 gets it.

-Yay! And you were worried about my Stilton scoop!

0:36:190:36:22

-At £20. It's going. Selling at £20.

-HE BANGS HAMMER

0:36:220:36:26

-Plus £5. Well, that's very fair.

-We all like a bit of Stilton.

0:36:260:36:30

28 minus five is minus 23.

0:36:300:36:32

What you going to do about the propelling pencil?

0:36:320:36:35

Are you going to stick? Cos 23 could be a winning score.

0:36:350:36:38

If I were you I might kind of quit,

0:36:380:36:41

because the other pen didn't do brilliantly.

0:36:410:36:43

-I'm thinking pencils...

-I think we should override Catherine.

0:36:430:36:47

-I think we should go for it.

-Two against one.

0:36:470:36:50

-Oh!

-You've had it.

-Had it!

0:36:500:36:52

You tried to put them off pretty big-time there,

0:36:520:36:55

-but they're not having any.

-I have faith, Tim.

0:36:550:36:58

We're going with the bonus buy.

0:36:580:37:01

A late-Victorian ivory Morden Everpoint propelling pencil.

0:37:010:37:05

-Think I might run away now.

-Bids on this to £25.

0:37:050:37:09

With me at £25. I'll take 28 now. It's £25. Do I see 28?

0:37:090:37:13

-28. 30.

-Come on!

0:37:130:37:16

32. 35. £35. Against you, sir, at £35.

0:37:160:37:20

Who'll bid me 40 now? It's £35. Against you all at £35.

0:37:200:37:23

-Come on!

-It's going at £35.

0:37:230:37:25

-And selling...

-£35 is 15, 23,

0:37:250:37:29

-28...

-It's only money.

0:37:290:37:31

-It's minus 38, anyway.

-Not so bad.

0:37:310:37:34

Minus 38 overall, which is not so bad, actually.

0:37:340:37:37

-It's only money, Tim.

-I know. Bad luck on that,

0:37:370:37:40

but it could be a winning score, so don't talk to the Blues.

0:37:400:37:44

Now, Tina and Babs, do you know how the Reds got on?

0:37:540:37:57

-No. No idea, Tim.

-Not a dicky of an idea?

0:37:570:37:59

-No.

-Right. That's the way we like to keep it.

0:37:590:38:02

First up is the box, and here it comes.

0:38:020:38:05

And Arts and Crafts copper and Ruskin-mounted box.

0:38:050:38:08

-I'm excited about this.

-I'm excited!

0:38:080:38:10

And I have commission bids to 40... 60... 70.

0:38:100:38:16

-SHE LAUGHS

-Well, you're in profit. That's good.

0:38:160:38:19

75, 80. 85, 90.

0:38:190:38:22

-95, 100.

-Look at this go!

0:38:220:38:24

One more might do it. It's £100 against you. And ten!

0:38:240:38:27

-£110!

-Well done!

-At £110.

0:38:270:38:30

Do I see 120? Selling for £110, if you're all done. It's going at...

0:38:300:38:34

You both together? £110!

0:38:340:38:36

-THEY LAUGH

-Nearly took another one there.

0:38:360:38:38

That's two shy of 70, so that is plus 42!

0:38:380:38:41

Look at that! Straight up, £42. You got the eye, doll, haven't you?

0:38:410:38:46

-I have.

-You have got lovely eyes.

0:38:460:38:49

I mean, you found that in a shop, effectively,

0:38:490:38:52

and turned it round in an auction for £42 profit. It's brilliant,

0:38:520:38:56

-so well done for that.

-Thank you.

0:38:560:38:58

Are we going to be able to say the same thing for the De Morgan tile?

0:38:580:39:02

-Let's see what happens.

-Late 19th-century

0:39:020:39:05

William De Morgan Sands End pottery tile

0:39:050:39:07

in the KL Rose pattern. There she is.

0:39:070:39:10

And I have...£65.

0:39:100:39:13

-Oh!

-£65. Who'll bid me 70 now? Who'll bid me 70?

0:39:130:39:15

At £65. I'll take 70, though. With me at 65.

0:39:150:39:19

-I don't believe this, Thomas.

-70. And five?

0:39:190:39:22

-It's £75. One more if you like.

-Oh, dear!

0:39:220:39:25

On the book still at £75. I shall sell, then,

0:39:250:39:29

-if you're all finished, at £75.

-That is minus £125.

0:39:290:39:34

That is the cheapest William De Morgan tile I have seen sold

0:39:340:39:37

at auction in the last 20 years.

0:39:370:39:40

And when you think how much money he got for it...

0:39:400:39:42

I mean, the price it was in the shop...

0:39:420:39:45

-Someone's just got a deal.

-Yeah. So there we go, girls.

0:39:450:39:49

That's the lap of the gods. Next up is the regimental hat badge.

0:39:490:39:53

-How much for this?

-A silver regimental brooch

0:39:530:39:55

for the Fourth Queen's Own Hussars. Someone start me at £10.

0:39:550:39:59

£10 is bid. 12, sir? 12? 15, Jill?

0:39:590:40:03

No? £12. With you, sir, at 12. Surely worth 15?

0:40:030:40:06

-Come on!

-Any further interest? At £12.

0:40:060:40:08

15.

0:40:080:40:10

-Go on!

-18. 20.

-You're in profit.

0:40:100:40:13

-One more! 22! £20 at the back there. Two anywhere else?

-Go on!

0:40:130:40:17

£20 it is, then, at the back. Any more? At £20.

0:40:170:40:21

He's given up now. £20 and selling. All done.

0:40:210:40:23

Well, that's marvellous, Tom. That's plus £2.

0:40:230:40:26

You were minus 83. You've just got two back.

0:40:260:40:29

You are currently minus £81, all right?

0:40:290:40:31

-£81 down the proverbial.

-What are you going to do?

-Yeah.

0:40:310:40:35

-You going to go with the bonus buy?

-We've got to go with the bonus buy.

0:40:350:40:39

-You're going with that jug?

-Yeah.

-Lovely. All right. Decision made.

0:40:390:40:42

Now you've decided, I can tell you the auctioneer estimated it

0:40:420:40:46

-at £20 to £30.

-So we could make a little.

0:40:460:40:48

And you only paid £14, so you should claw a bit back on that.

0:40:480:40:51

-Here it comes.

-This wonderful jug, Koloman Moser,

0:40:510:40:54

textured-glass jug, by Hoffmann for Loetz,

0:40:540:40:57

-and I have £28. With me at £28.

-Doubled your money, Tom.

0:40:570:41:01

£28, and I'll take 30. It's surely worth 30.

0:41:010:41:04

£30. 32.

0:41:040:41:07

-Look at this. Go on!

-Go on!

0:41:070:41:10

35! Thank you. At £35.

0:41:100:41:13

I'll take 38, though. It's £35, with the lady in the front here.

0:41:130:41:16

At £35 and I'm selling. All done? Selling, £35.

0:41:160:41:20

That is plus £21, Tom. You can't do better than that,

0:41:200:41:23

my dear friend. Plus £21.

0:41:230:41:26

Which means overall you are minus £60.

0:41:260:41:31

-OK?

-It's a shame about the tile. We'd have done well without that.

0:41:310:41:35

-I know.

-All right, all right!

-We got some fantastic results there.

0:41:350:41:39

It's a roller coaster, isn't it? You're minus 60.

0:41:390:41:42

-It might be a winning score. Don't talk to the Reds!

-We won't.

0:41:420:41:46

-So, teams - been chatting?

-No.

-Not comparing notes at all?

0:41:530:41:56

-No.

-It should come as no secret to you

0:41:560:41:59

that both teams sadly are not going home with any money today.

0:41:590:42:03

-Oh!

-So it's simply the scale of the losses

0:42:030:42:07

which is going to determine who is ahead today.

0:42:070:42:10

And the runners-up, I'm afraid to say, are the Blues.

0:42:100:42:13

-THEY GROAN

-That's a bit of a shock!

0:42:130:42:16

This is a team that made a profit on three of the four items.

0:42:160:42:20

-Yeah.

-And they still lost?

-And they still lost.

0:42:200:42:23

You have to hang on to the fact that, morally,

0:42:230:42:26

you did achieve a great victory here, but financially, sadly,

0:42:260:42:30

it went down the old proverbial, so bad luck.

0:42:300:42:33

The victors, however, the father-and-son combo,

0:42:330:42:37

have won by only managing to lose £38.

0:42:370:42:39

THEY LAUGH

0:42:390:42:40

But the Stilton scoop made you, strangely enough,

0:42:400:42:43

-the only profit of the day, so well done.

-Always had faith.

0:42:430:42:47

Always had faith! Anyway, have you had a nice time?

0:42:470:42:49

-Brilliant time.

-Well, congratulations on being our winners today,

0:42:490:42:53

and join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
