0:00:04 > 0:00:07Have you got a pen and paper to hand, perchance?
0:00:07 > 0:00:11No? Well, you've got about 30 seconds to go and find some
0:00:11 > 0:00:14cos let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Have you got your pen, then? Good.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Because if you fancy this Bargain Hunting lark at all,
0:00:47 > 0:00:53make a note of this website address:
0:00:53 > 0:00:57And let us know why you want to be on the show.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00In the meanwhile, though, kick off your slippers, relax,
0:01:00 > 0:01:05enjoy the fun as we let loose our teams here in Lewes.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Where Catherine Southon and her team are searching for animal magic.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16I'm seeing birds, dogs, cats, mice.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Thomas Plant and his team are seeking a Eureka moment.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22What do you think of that? It's horrible.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's horrible? OK, that's fine, I just saw it.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And I head off to Brighton Pavilion
0:01:28 > 0:01:31to find out about the two faces of George IV.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Today we've got two teams of married couples
0:01:35 > 0:01:38playing head to head.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41For the Reds, we've got Maggie and Bill
0:01:41 > 0:01:44and for the Blues we've got Claire and Jonathan. Welcome.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48So, Bill, you're retired now but you were a policeman for 30 years.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51That's right. All of those 30 years in Sussex.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We're both Sussex born and bred. Yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58And I enjoyed it. I've been retired now for 12 years.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Have you really? Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I don't look that old, do I? You don't. I know.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05That's why they call you the Old Bill. This is true.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I'm Young Bill from the Old Bill. That's right.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09It was a good time. I enjoyed it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Any particular achievements in your time on the force?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Well, I suppose... I finished up as a Detective Chief Inspector
0:02:16 > 0:02:18down at Eastbourne. Did you?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Gosh, that's a senior rank, isn't it? I suppose it is.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You must be very proud of him. Extremely proud.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Maggie, you own this pet shop... Yes. ..and presumably you adore animals.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I'm passionate about them. Absolutely passionate.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36And what are your favourites? Dogs. Dogs. Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Any particular breed? No, I love all dogs.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44What do you own yourself? We have two very, very nosy pugs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Pugs? Yes. Black ones or apricot ones?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I have an apricot and a fawn. Do you? Yes.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51And they are delicious. I bet they are.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55You specialise and you go to dog shows now, you set up dog shows.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01Tell us about that. Yes, I am secretary of a single breed club
0:03:01 > 0:03:06but we also are championship judges of a number of breeds
0:03:06 > 0:03:08and Bill has been judging more than I have
0:03:08 > 0:03:11because he is more, I would say, the senior judge.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15He has actually judged at Crufts. Oh, have you? Absolutely.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18That is the absolute accolade. I think so.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So what are you going to buy together, you two, today?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24What sort of things are you going for? Nothing too big.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28You're quite right, too. Very good luck. I hope you have a great time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Now for the Blues. How did you two love birds meet?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35We were paired up as lab partners in A level chemistry.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37We didn't have any choice. We were put together.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41So you were both still in shorts, almost? Yes, absolutely.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Just about in long trousers. Absolutely. In the chemistry lab?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes. I did have my eye on somebody else
0:03:47 > 0:03:50but I wasn't allowed to choose my lab partner at the time.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So you got... He grew on me, though.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57You got lumbered with Jonathan but it worked. It did.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01In our chemistry lab, all we were interested in was making big bangs and lots of smells.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Presumably you had lots of bangs and lots of smells. Absolutely.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Yeah. Brilliant.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11So, Jonathan, did your love of science lead you down a particular career path?
0:04:11 > 0:04:17Yes, I work in the business that makes equipment for semiconductors.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22We make the chips and sell equipment to people like IBM and Intel,
0:04:22 > 0:04:24those sorts of customers, and it's all over the world.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And science has given you a jolly good living. It has, yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32A most interesting living. It's wonderful to work with clever people
0:04:32 > 0:04:36and be stimulated and be learning anew all the time.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41And let's not be too modest about it, be one of those clever people.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Claire, you're involved in a large restoration project.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Yes. Eight years ago we bought a Grade II listed property in Horsham
0:04:49 > 0:04:54and we've been slowly restoring it to its former glory. Brilliant.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58We're nearly there, now. About another year's work, we reckon.
0:04:58 > 0:05:03But good fun. Absolutely. And it's beautiful now, so we're happy.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07What are your tactics going to be today, you scientists?
0:05:07 > 0:05:11We'd like to spend all the money. Leave nothing for Thomas Plant.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14That's the secret. Well, very good luck. Thank you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Now it is indeed the money moment.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You get your ?300. There's your 300. ?300 apiece.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go
0:05:22 > 0:05:24and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Well, what unusual and delightful teams we've got today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So it's doggy-lovers versus scientists.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Ready? I'm ready. Let's go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37And they're off!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Raring to go? Raring to go.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Carry on and have a good look and I'll have a rummage myself.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53What about in these cabinets?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58There was this figure. What do you think of that?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's horrible. It's horrible? OK, that's fine. I just saw it.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06What do you think of that pincushion that's in there?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Oh, the piggy? No, it's not actually a pincushion.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14This is the glasses moment. I can see why you thought it was.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's actually a pen wipe, with the bristles.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It is brass, isn't it? Yes, it's brass.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Not brilliantly made, I wouldn't say.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It's not of the finest quality but it's quite novel, isn't it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28People like novelties. They do and you like animals.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29I do. I love all animals.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Is it a lot of money? It's ?29. I think we can get that down a bit.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Do you like that? Yeah, I do. You do? Then you can have it.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40You're so nice. I go very cheap, you see. You're a lovely wife.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45We've still got two to go. We have. We'd better have a word with her.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You go and have a word whilst we look.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49See if you can get about 15 or something.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Go on, Bill.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Have you formulated a result yet, scientists?
0:06:53 > 0:06:57I'm not seeing anything that really ticks my box at the moment, are you? No.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That'll be a negative, then.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02From 29 we're down to 20.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Yeah? I don't think that's unreasonable. Don't you?
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Oh, OK, we'll go for it, then.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10And the worst we're going to do is lose ?20, isn't it?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14I'm with you, Bill, I'm with you. Sold. Sold to the man in red.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Sold to the man in red, yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19The first item in... That was about two minutes, wasn't it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Fantastic. That's good.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Speedy!
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Gosh, it's hard, isn't it? You betcha!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So what have you got here? You've got a little leather box.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38That is quality. Good quality.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41It's in good condition, isn't it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45And then these glass...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49scent bottles.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51They're all there
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and they unscrew.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Ah! Little stoppers.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58The originals? Yeah, they all fit in rather well.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Can I pick one up? Yeah, go ahead, of course you can.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06We're all going to have a turn, are we? Fiddle on. Why not?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Is that going to...? No, it's fine.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Check they've all got their stoppers. That's what I'm doing.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17They'll designed to have a stopper. And it's there, it's all perfect.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It's quite sweet. That ticks a lot of boxes. It's nice, isn't it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23It's in good condition. It feels quality.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26It is quality, actually. Isn't it beautiful?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30What do you think would be the value at auction?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33You see, he's got 145. Yes.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37You see, I just think that's slightly sort of top dollar. Yes.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39In my opinion, it's slightly top dollar.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I would... What can be done on that? The best would be 95.
0:08:43 > 0:08:4895? You see, that's a much better price at 95.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50That's a much better price. What do you want to do?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Yeah, I like it. The box is in great condition. That's a yes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56That's a yes, I think, yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Blues, finally underway.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04I'm seeing birds, dogs, cats, mice. How lovely. Wonderful.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08# How much is that doggy in the window?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12# Woof, woof... # Maggie, are you being led astray?
0:09:13 > 0:09:17What have you found? The hound. That hound. What's that made of?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21You've found a hound. We have. I wonder if it's cast iron.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Grab your hound.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, it's heavy. It's heavy. Mm.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It's heavy. He likes heavy. I think that's metal. It is.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33I'm sure it's metal. Because the way that it's been... Cast. Yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37It's the way the paint's coming away. The paint looks original.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Is it what they call cold painted? It could be cold painted.
0:09:40 > 0:09:46It's rather smart. The expression on the face is all important on dogs
0:09:46 > 0:09:48and that's an intelligent... You know, you know!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's an intelligent expression.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52'I like to think I have one of those.'
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Very intelligent. It's a clever dog. It's in lovely proportion.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I think that would grace my mantelpiece very well.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03If it was perfect it wouldn't have the appeal to me. Oh, really? No.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07OK. I like that because it looks like it's got a bit of age.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09So we paid, what, 20 for the pig? We did.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14So really we'd be looking at what, about 30 ish? Not much more.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Yeah. Not much more. 35 top whack. Top whack 35.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20That would be a fair price. It's 55. 55.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Have to go some with that. You're going to really have to go.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Walkies, Maggie.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36So these might be strange, might be strange,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38but pens are so collectable.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42The reason is that you've got the power of the internet
0:10:42 > 0:10:47and these are so easy to sell online to send round the world. Yes.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49There are pen collectors out there.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Commercially, I can see the value in these. Right. That's interesting.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56In my experience, these sell for between ?20 and ?25 each
0:10:56 > 0:11:01and these ones here are between ?10 and ?15. Right.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04So there are... I think they're Parker 61s, 51s
0:11:04 > 0:11:07and this is a slightly later one in date,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10that one there with the stainless steel cap to it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15What age do you think they are? They're '50s, '60s, aren't they?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17OK. That's what they are.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20We could sort of ask if we could do a deal on the three.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26We could ask, couldn't we, and then we could always see if it's a good price.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Absolutely. It could be a good price.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Could you give us your best price on those three together, please?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35They could be 45.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Could you do it for 40?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Yes. Yeah? So you think that's a good price for the three?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I'd go for that. You know, I think it's a good...
0:11:44 > 0:11:46OK, again, I think it's... Yes.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Yeah? Do you want to do that one? I think we should. Definitely.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51I think you've got a good buy.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Yes but have our doggy loving Reds?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57What's your very best on that you could do?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Normal trade would be ?50. No, I couldn't, no, no.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03?45? No. How about 35?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08That's a bit... It has got one or two little scratches on,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09to the tail.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Yeah. Mainly the tail but... 40. If we could meet in the middle.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18What do you think, Bill? Well, 35's better sounding.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Yes. Normally, it would be 50.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24How about 36? Could you make 36? 36?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I think that's fair. 36 would be wonderful. Lovely.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32I do so love him. OK, 36. 36 is a good price. 36.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh, well done. That's fabulous. Well done. That's excellent.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Well done.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Woof, woof. I thought these two were going to be putty in my hands
0:12:42 > 0:12:44and I would tell them what to buy.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47They are so decisive. They know what they want
0:12:47 > 0:12:50and if they don't like it, they say no.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53They... They're tough. Tough.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55# Up in the morning and out to school
0:12:57 > 0:12:59# The teacher is teaching the golden rule. #
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Did you enjoy learning history at school? I know I did.
0:13:05 > 0:13:11Now, look at this image, which shows a cartoon
0:13:11 > 0:13:17of two Ancient Britons racing down a hillside,
0:13:17 > 0:13:22trying out their brand new chariot, circa BC98.
0:13:22 > 0:13:28Sitting on the side of the road is a goody-goody Ancient Briton
0:13:28 > 0:13:31and the nasty boys are whooshing down the hill
0:13:31 > 0:13:34with one of those spear-like things coming off the wheel
0:13:34 > 0:13:38and they've just sliced his head off.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43All eight-year-old children love bloodthirsty events
0:13:43 > 0:13:47and they're bound to remember what the Ancient Britons looked like
0:13:47 > 0:13:50from a cartoon like this.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55In the next cartoon, we've got another scene
0:13:55 > 0:14:01that's inscribed, "The Romans finally left Britain in AD246.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04"Then came the Scottish invasion."
0:14:04 > 0:14:07In short, things got worse.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Amazing, aren't they?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Now, these things look like simple prints
0:14:13 > 0:14:15but they're actually not.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18This is the original artwork
0:14:18 > 0:14:20for illustrations that have been created
0:14:20 > 0:14:22for a history textbook,
0:14:22 > 0:14:27the textbook being called History Made Easy.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31In this illustration, we've got a trial by ordeal.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35This is the scene where the red-hot poker
0:14:35 > 0:14:38would be thrust at the guilty party
0:14:38 > 0:14:42and if he squealed he was guilty, if he was quiet he was innocent.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45All incredibly unfair.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47So what might they be worth?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52I would have thought an amusing ?100 each at least.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57What's the price to you and me today here in Lewes?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59They could be yours for ?10 each.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02?30 to ?300.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Now, that's a no-brainer.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Now, where have those teams got to?
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Two items in 15 minutes. I love you two.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Not bad going.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19I bet you do, Catherine. You're more of a mad dash at the end, girl.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24How much is it and what one did you see? We've seen this one.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yeah, OK, OK. Good, good, good.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29What do you like about it, first? I like the wood.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Yeah. And the dial. Yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34It looks in reasonably good nick from here. Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's not too fussy. It's interesting but not too fussy.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41OK. There's the key. You just hold on to that
0:15:41 > 0:15:44and let's just lift this up.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Let's have a look. Put in on the chair, there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Well, I think I might hold it for a second. OK.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56So you've got a steel dial with the slow fast movements
0:15:56 > 0:16:00and the chime and silent and it's chiming at the moment.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04And it's Sir John Bennett Ltd... Is that a known maker? ..Cheapside, London.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Yeah, I'm sure it is. I haven't seen it.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10The dial could do with a little bit of a clean but it's OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13There's some slight splitting to the top of the pediment
0:16:13 > 0:16:15and the price at 170.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I don't think it's been spruced up since it was bought
0:16:18 > 0:16:22in, I'd say, the 1920s, 1930s.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Erm... It is quite attractive, though. Yes.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28What do you think, Claire? Let's see what we can get
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and if we've got a bit of time left... Who wants to do that?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35So far it's been me! I'll do it. Do you want to go and do it, Jonathan?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Yes. Go and ask the chap in charge. It's the John Bennett clock.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Yeah, the John Bennett clock. Good luck, Jonathan.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I quite like the look of that Tunbridge ware.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Oh, the pincushion.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Finally, something that's not an animal.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53You did want a pincushion, didn't you? It looks new on the top.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56That looks like it's been recovered. Would that detract?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I wonder if we could just have a little look at it? Yeah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Let's just open it up.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03I'm going to hand it to you, straight to you.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Thank you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Do you like Tunbridge ware? I do. I find it quite attractive.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Yeah, I think pincushions are quite collectable and that's...
0:17:14 > 0:17:17You wanted a pincushion, didn't you? Yes. What's on it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:2085 at the moment. Ooh, at the moment!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23He's a decisive man. Wow. He is, isn't he?
0:17:23 > 0:17:28It's the boy against the girls. Well, I think you did really well. I'd better withdraw quietly.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Bill... No, no. ..go and try and see what you can get off it.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35No, I wouldn't want... ..and we can discuss from there.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37OK. LAUGHTER
0:17:37 > 0:17:39The final deal to be settled by the men.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I wonder if you could just give me an idea
0:17:42 > 0:17:45what might be the very, very best price you could do on that?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You've got 170 on it but what would be your best?
0:17:48 > 0:17:5175 would be the normal trade discount. Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But 65 for a Bargain Hunter.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59So 145 is your very best? It's a set price for that. OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:0155?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03OK. That's good, at 55.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05# Let's hear it for the boy
0:18:05 > 0:18:08# Let's give the boy a hand... #
0:18:08 > 0:18:10OK, so he said 145 is his very best.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I tried to push him down but that's his very best. OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16So what do you think? Yeah. I think so, yes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18You want to do it? Yeah. I think so. Why not?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm interested now to see how much it makes.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25She'll do it for 55. That's good. That's very generous.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I think so but she's a very nice lady. She is a very nice lady.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I think that would be a good buy. OK. Final purchase?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Final purchase. That's it. Final purchase. Well done.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Great team, great team.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38'Easy-peasy!'
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Well, they've shopped till they've dropped, their time is up.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Let's see what the Reds settled on.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49They got off to a cracking start with a pig pen wipe.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I'm with you, Bill, I'm with you. Sold to the man in red.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Sold to the man in red.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Then Maggie took a shine to a cold-painted bronze hound.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Deal. That's fabulous. Thank you very much.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Well done!
0:19:03 > 0:19:08And finally, Bill got his way and a Tunbridge ware pincushion
0:19:08 > 0:19:09for ?55.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Final purchase? Final purchase. That's it. Final purchase.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Well done. Great team, great team.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I'm glad you're happy because you had your own way, I think. Oh, no.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I can't believe Bill always has his own way.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25That's right. He does. Does he always have his own way?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Well, 99.9% because I'm a forgiving lady.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30There you are, you see.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35Now, you spent how much? ?111. Is that all? That's all. ?111.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Good value for nice things. Good Lord.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40What, for all three items? Yes. Correct.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43They bartered very well. I'm disappointed by that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49?111 is nine short of 20, so I'd like ?189.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54I'm afraid that's all I've got. Which would be ?189. ?189.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Well, you look like an honest fellow. Oh, no!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Anyway, ?189. Thank you very much. There you go, Catherine.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03You could buy up half of Lewes with that. I could, I could.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I tell you what, though, I'm definitely not buying a dog
0:20:06 > 0:20:09or any animal, come to that. No animals at all.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Animals are off. Good luck with that, Catherine.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17The Blues were equally quick off the blocks
0:20:17 > 0:20:19with a trio of scent bottles.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23That's a yes. That's a yes, I think, yes. Right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Thank you very much, sir.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29It might be strange but pens are getting so collectable.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Followed by a trio of Parkers for ?40.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37And they finished on time, with a mantel clock.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I'm interested now to see how much it makes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46So, guys, how do you feel about that? Fantastic. Very good.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah. Very enjoyable. You didn't um and ah. None of that.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52A very good performance, that's all I can say
0:20:52 > 0:20:55and you spent most of the money. We spent ?280.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58That is absolutely marvellous. Just what you wanted to do.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Exactly. Which is your favourite bit?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I think it's the clock, actually. The clock. Yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Do you agree with that? I do, yes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13I don't know, actually. I feel very good about them all.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Oh, Lord.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Have confidence in these scientists. The pens, I think.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I think the pens will do well. The old Parker 51s. Yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23They're great.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26OK, fine, so I'd like ?20, please.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Thank you. Lovely.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Just the one note this time, Charles. Just the one note.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32How are you going to manage?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35'How indeed?'
0:21:38 > 0:21:42I try and look for something which reflects the contestants.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46I've got two scientists, so I might find a slide rule,
0:21:46 > 0:21:49maybe marked up at ?25 and see if I can get it for 20.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53It really is a lottery when you're looking for something for 20 quid.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56And good luck with that.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere positively regal just up the coast.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Guess where? Brighton.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I've come to discover one of its delights.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10And no, before you ask,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13it does not involve me taking a twirl on the ice.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17I'm here, of course, to see the Royal Pavilion.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Architect John Nash created this fantastical monument
0:22:25 > 0:22:29in the early 19th century for the Prince Regent, George.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Conceived as a pleasure palace, it lived up to its name.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39At lavish banquets, prepared by a celebrity chef,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42the future king had a whale of a time in Brighton.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51This is the official portrait of George IV,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55seen here in his coronation robes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59as recorded in the original painting by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Actually, George sent a copy of the Lawrence painting
0:23:03 > 0:23:09to Pope Pius VII, who sent him back in return this interpretation,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12which is made of micro mosaic.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It's literally hundreds of thousands
0:23:15 > 0:23:18of tiny pieces of different coloured stone,
0:23:18 > 0:23:23put together to record this extraordinary image.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Official of the images of the monarch
0:23:28 > 0:23:32weren't only recorded in oil paint on canvas
0:23:32 > 0:23:34or micro mosaic.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38They were also provided as a form of sculpture,
0:23:38 > 0:23:39which is what we have here -
0:23:39 > 0:23:45a bust of George IV at his most senatorial
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and impressive.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51He's wearing a toga as if he was a Roman emperor
0:23:51 > 0:23:56and indeed, on the bottom of the inscribed plinth here,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00it says in Latin "father of the nation".
0:24:00 > 0:24:03In this piece of sculpture,
0:24:03 > 0:24:08George IV looks like a resolute, fit and capable
0:24:08 > 0:24:11leader of the nation.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14The truth, though, was somewhat different
0:24:14 > 0:24:20and such was the extraordinary liberalism that existed
0:24:20 > 0:24:22in Britain at the end of the 18th
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and the early part of the 19th century
0:24:25 > 0:24:30that it permitted print sellers to sell images like this.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35It's a caricature lampooning the royal family
0:24:35 > 0:24:37and in particular George IV.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42It's entitled "The Great Joss and his Playthings",
0:24:42 > 0:24:46joss being a term to describe an oriental idol.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49So here we have the idol himself,
0:24:49 > 0:24:58the 17-stone, corpulent George IV, puffing away at a pipe
0:24:58 > 0:25:01but in the form of the initial C.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03And that's significant
0:25:03 > 0:25:09because within these caricatures there are crammed so many details
0:25:09 > 0:25:12that are often critical of their subject
0:25:12 > 0:25:16and which you have to parse or analyse correctly.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23The smoke coming out of his pipe says, "Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, 'tis love."
0:25:23 > 0:25:25What's all that about?
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Well, George IV famously had an affair with a Lady Cunningham
0:25:30 > 0:25:35and Lady Cunningham is represented by the C-shape of the pipe.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42This particular satirical caricature was created by Robert Seymour
0:25:42 > 0:25:47and he, alongside others such as Gillray and Cruikshank,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50created literally thousands of these images,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54which are very much collected today.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58The big question is, though, are our teams going to be lampooned
0:25:58 > 0:26:00over at the auction?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03So, let's hotfoot it to West Sussex,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07because I've got a date with auctioneer Jonathan Pratt.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11So, Catherine, did you follow your own advice?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Now, Mags and Bill, are you OK? Are you excited?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Absolutely. Deliciously. Deliciously excited.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I love that expression, don't you? Deliciously excited. Good.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Anyway, you spent ?111.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29You gave La Catherine Southon ?189 to find your bonus buy.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32What did you spend it on? Looks like a turkey.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33LAUGHTER
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I am so excited about this, I just... Can't control yourself.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41What is the one thing I said I wouldn't buy you? A dog.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Ah! Whoo! Look at this little pooch! Yes, it's lovely.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50YAPPING Oh!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Wow. YAPS
0:26:54 > 0:26:58I just think he's absolutely adorable. He is.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59It looks "ruff" to me.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Well, he's a lovely thing.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10I only spent ?25 on him, which I thought was a bargain.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13?25? Yes. Don't you think he's adorable?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Erm... I think he's barking.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Now, this is a Crufts judge, here, right?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24So asking the Crufts judge what he thinks
0:27:24 > 0:27:27about this in terms of its confirmation and whatnot...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28is difficult.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Is it going to make any money, do you think? Of course.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I think lots of people are going to be excited by him
0:27:33 > 0:27:37and maybe you won't get a huge profit but you'll get a profit.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40What, ?10 or ?20, something like that? Yeah. As much as that?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42That's great. My children would love him.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46And our grandchildren would, so, yes, we like it. We do. Good.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Well, you don't need to decide now, you decide later,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53but for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's pooch.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56YAPPING
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Do you like this, Jonathan? Ooh, get away from my scent bottles.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05What do you think about that? I half expect it to explode into flames.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08This surely doesn't have any fire safety label with it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09No, absolutely not.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12I mean, I don't know. Is it 1950s? Something like that.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It looks authentic, all the paintwork.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The flashing eyes were good, weren't they? It's a bit spooky.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22The thing is, you know, it is good fun and someone will buy it
0:28:22 > 0:28:25purely because it's working
0:28:25 > 0:28:29and they probably remember this as a child, something like this.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Could be but there we go. Still traumatised by it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37How much, then? ?20 or ?30. OK, ?25 was paid.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Catherine rated it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42She got it because she knows they're so keen on the animals.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45It's got a chance. I can see it making ?30 or ?40. It might well do.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Maggie and Bill have gone with this little piggy.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51That little piggy at the market. Aye. Do you rate it?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Er, they are collector's objects, these pen wipes
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and I had a big collection of them only a year or so ago.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It's kind of entry level, isn't it?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02It's not the finest example you could probably get.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05I'd say this is a little swine, actually.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07I don't rate it at all
0:29:07 > 0:29:09because the casting of the brass is terrible.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13It's done by a three-year-old, I'd say.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15But people love pigs. Yes, that's true.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18You don't have to be a farmer to love a pig. How much?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, I'd say ?20 or ?30. OK. ?20 paid.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25So they paid the right price... Yes. ..and good luck to you on the rostrum with that.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Continuing the animal theme,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30surprise, surprise, with Maggie and Bill,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35you've got yourself a hound. You'd want it to be cold-painted bronze.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37It would be Austrian and it would be collectable.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Looks just like one. It does but it's just on lead.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44But it's got the age and the paint's in not too bad a condition
0:29:44 > 0:29:46and it's not broken - it's a very brittle metal.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50It's a hunting dog. There'll be interest, we're in hunting country.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Yeah. How much? ?20-30. ?36 paid.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57It might make ?40, mightn't it? It might.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01It's relatively small amounts of money, difficult to tell.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04A collector. Who knows what two of them are willing to pay? Quite.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08If they one of these hounds knocking around, how lovely.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11What about the Tunbridge ware pincushion?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I quite... It always performs quite well.
0:30:13 > 0:30:19I like it. It's useful. If you're going to be doing some sewing, you can use it. Yeah.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22And it is decorative and it can sit out and be on display
0:30:22 > 0:30:25and you can collect them, as well. There's a lot of interest in them.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27It's difficult to price, he says,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30trying to get out of the responsibility
0:30:30 > 0:30:33because you would often sell it with other items in the sale.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Stop being shifty. How much? OK. ?20-?30. OK. ?55 paid.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41OK, well, that's it for the Reds. Moving on. Now, for the Blues.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44First up for them is the cased bottle set.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It's fairly straightforward - glass bottle inside,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49with the enamel tops on base metal.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54I mean... Not brilliant enamelling, is it? It's a quality leather case
0:30:54 > 0:30:55in nice condition.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58?30-?50, I'm sorry. Is that what it is? Yes. ?30-?50.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01?95 paid. Mm. Yeah. There is a smell about.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Now, three Parker pens. Do you have buyers for these?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10We do. Again, we normally sell pens in a larger quantity.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11But the Parker 51 is a classic.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16It won awards and whatever, didn't it? Oh, yeah.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17These aren't boxed.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20There are a couple of little dings on the lids.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24I thought ?30, a tenner each, seems fair, really. Yes.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Well, they paid 40. I don't think there's a great deal of opportunity left in that.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Now, what about this classic oak mantel clock?
0:31:32 > 0:31:38It's a nice architectural case in oak. Crisply carved. Yeah.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43It's not too dark. It could be a lot browner, blacker than that,
0:31:43 > 0:31:45so it has a bit more warmth to the colour of it.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47A silver dial is always quite nice.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It chimes and it tells the time, so it's a proper clock.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53And it's got presence. It could sit on the mantelpiece.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57But it's not all that old. It's a late Victorian piece.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00My opinion is ?50-?70.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05?145 they spent. I don't think it has a chance of getting that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Well, we shall see. I'll do my best. I know you will.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11But it'll torpedo their chances if it only makes your estimate,
0:32:11 > 0:32:15in which case, they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So, Claire and Jonathan, the bonus buy.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23What has your genius, Thomas Plant, gone and spent the ?20 on?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Tom? You flatter me, Tim. Genius, am I?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30This is a Danish-style pendant
0:32:30 > 0:32:33in the manner of somebody called Georg Jensen,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35who was a very famous jeweller... Oh, yes?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38..in the early part of the 20th century.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41It's still going today - not Georg himself but his factory
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and his designs are still going.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47This is a similar silver pendant in the design of.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Very nice. And did you spend the full ?20? I spent it all.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55And what do you think it would make? Oh, at least ?30-?50.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It's lovely. It's gorgeous. Very nice.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Beautiful. Did you say silver? It is silver, yeah.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I think it's 835 silver, so it's not a 925 silver,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09which means it's a lower grade. Not sterling silver. Yeah.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12And would you wear this, Claire? I would, yes. There you go.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16With a nice top, lovely. Anyway, you don't choose now, you decide later,
0:33:16 > 0:33:17as if there's any choice to be made
0:33:17 > 0:33:20but whatever you do, you do it later
0:33:20 > 0:33:25but for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Thomas' Danish pendant.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28There we go, JP. That's right up your street.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32That is... Jewellery. Yeah. 20th century. Silver.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Absolutely beautiful.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36You can see why he thinks it's Jensen.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39This sort of plant, this flower bud is very typical of his.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43You see that terminal on teaspoons by Jensen,
0:33:43 > 0:33:47certainly of people who worked around him at that time.
0:33:47 > 0:33:52It's not Jensen but it's of the period that he was making these.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53It is definitely Scandinavian.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56I think it's probably worth at auction ?50-?70.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Good Lord. He only paid ?20. It could make more than that.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04Now, that will claw back their chances if they go with it.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Anyway, you're taking the sale today? Absolutely. We're in safe hands.
0:34:09 > 0:34:1260, now. 65, 70.
0:34:12 > 0:34:1475.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16?250. I'll take 260.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19OK, Mags and Bill, how are you feeling? Wonderful. Excited.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Looking forward to the competition? It's exciting.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25All we need is an animal lover from Tunbridge.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Yes. Well, you never know. It's not far from Tunbridge. It isn't.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Somebody will be over.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33First up, though, is your piggy-wiggy-wig pen wipe
0:34:33 > 0:34:35and here it comes.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39We have a brass pen wipe modelled as a pig.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42?20 to start me. At ?20.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45?20. I'll take 2. 22, 25.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46It's exciting! 28, 30.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50?35. Back of the room at ?35. Look at this. It's wonderful.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53She's a good girl, this one. 35. Do I see 40?
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I'll take 38. Come on! It's exciting. Going at ?35. All done?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59It's your last chance. At 35... GAVEL BANGS
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Well done. ?35. She's a star, isn't she? She really is.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Plus ?15. I'm so excited.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Now, are you going to perform as well, Bill? Well, I'll try.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Here comes your beagle.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14A cold-painted cast lead figure of a beagle.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18There he is with his tail up. Start me at ?20?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21?20 for the beagle? Come on. Come on, you dog lovers.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24?20. Thank you, sir, in the hat at 20. 20's bid. Looking for two.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26All you dog lovers. Come on.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Do I see two?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30It's ?20. At 20 I'll sell. It's going at ?20. Any more?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32That's cheap. At ?20...
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Selling. ?20.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37THEY GROAN ?20. Never mind.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Minus ?16, which means overall, you're minus ?1. I can't bear it.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44That's wiped out your winnings.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48A Tunbridge ware and rosewood square pincushion, tapering sides.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52A nice example. 40. ?40. Excellent, excellent.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5545, 50, 55. Come on. You are a star.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5860 now. Well done! 65, 70.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0475. 75, standing at the back, then. At ?75. Do I see 80?
0:36:04 > 0:36:08This is exciting. Come on! Is there any more? At ?75.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10I'm selling. Last chance. ?75. GAVEL BANGS
0:36:10 > 0:36:17Yes! Well done. So that is plus 20, minus the one. You are plus ?19.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21You are ?19 in the bank. How good is that? Well done.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Now, what are you going to do about the dog?
0:36:24 > 0:36:30It's ?25 at risk... You don't have to. ..of your ?19 of profit.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33I don't... I think we're staying with what we have. I apologise
0:36:33 > 0:36:36but I don't think... We don't really, no. No?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39No. No? Definitely.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43You're not going with the bonus buy, that's your decision. Yes.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47We're going to sell it anyway, so let's see what the bow-wow makes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Here he is. Lot...
0:36:50 > 0:36:52HE LAUGHS
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Lot 755a. We've got this little chap here.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57How could you reject him?
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Battery-operated toy puppy. ?18 I have.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06At ?18. I'm bid ?18. Surely worth 20?
0:37:06 > 0:37:09For this little chap here. At ?20. Anyone want to bid ?20?
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Look at him there.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13?20 anyone? Look at him!
0:37:13 > 0:37:18At ?18. Against you all at ?18. Any more? ?18.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I'm trying hard here. He certainly is. It's ?18.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24I'm going to sell it, then, at ?18.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29Completely barking. You did the right thing. So sorry.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33?18 is minus ?7 but no matter. No. You didn't go with it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36You did the right thing. You banked your ?19.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40The big thing now is not to talk to the Blues. Absolutely not.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Not a word. No. OK. That what we like to see.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50So, do you know how the Reds got on? No. No?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52The long arm of the law has not got to you?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55No, it hasn't. We just want to beat the law today.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Ah, beat the Bill. Beat the Bill, if we can. Yes, quite.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01First up are the three screw-top bottles.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05A set of three glass and coloured enamel-mounted scent bottles
0:38:05 > 0:38:07in a lovely brown leather case.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11?70. With me at ?70. I'll take five, now.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13?70. Five, anyone?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Against you all at ?70. 75, 80.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Ooh! 85 is bid. Do I see 90?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23?85, then. Back in the room at ?85. Any more?
0:38:23 > 0:38:26It's your last chance at ?85.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29That's brilliant. It could have been worse. It could.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32It's only minus ?10. Fantastic. Only?
0:38:32 > 0:38:37That was our hardest lot, so... Yes. You can relax a bit now, can't you?
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Two Parker 51s and another Parker fountain pen, there.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Straight in at ?45. Yes! Fantastic. Well done.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Looking for 50, now. 50, five. 60, five,
0:38:50 > 0:38:5370 at the back. Do I see five?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56At 70. Five anywhere else?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Going then. Back of the room at ?70. All done? At 70...
0:38:58 > 0:39:02GAVEL BANGS Plus 30. Thomas, well done. Well done, Thomas.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Fantastic. You are a star, Thomas. Well...
0:39:05 > 0:39:09You think I'm a star. Don't deny it, just ooze it up while it's about, all right?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Ooze it? Ooze it up.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Now, Claire, it's your big test coming up, darling, the old clock.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19A Victorian oak-cased eight-day mantel clock,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21inscribed Bennett, Cheapside, London.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Straight in at ?110. Goodness.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Looking for 120, now. That's ?110.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Against you all at ?110 on commission. Do see ?120?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Come on. Must be more. I've got ?110. Is that it? I'll sell it.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36At ?110. Last chance.
0:39:36 > 0:39:42110. ?110 is minus 35. Oh, dear.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46We add plus 20, so you're now at minus 15.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48What a helter skelter of a scoring.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I can't bear this. Minus ?15, then.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55We were anticipating something very much worse. I think so.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58You've done really, really well. What about the pendant?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Is this a no-brainer or not? It's a no-brainer. A no-brainer.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03You're having it? Absolutely. Love it.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07OK, fine. It's sure to do well. So we are going with the bonus buy.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Now I can tell you that the auctioneer has estimated ?50-?70
0:40:11 > 0:40:14on this. 50 to 70? Thomas only paid 20.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16He's estimated ?50-70.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20If this auctioneer's got it right, you could be back in the money.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Anyway, here we go.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25A Danish silver pendant in the manner of Georg Jensen.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29Tear-drop form. Very pretty flowers on there.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32I can start at ?25.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Oh, right. Good, good. That's a good start.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37With me at ?25. And 30. 35?
0:40:37 > 0:40:3940, 45? Fantastic.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42It's ?45 with me. Against you, then, at ?45.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45At ?45. Do I see 50?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Against you all at ?45. Let's make 50.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Commission bid at 45 and selling. All done at ?45?
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Well done. Hooray! Well done. Well done.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55That is plus ?25. That is what you call a bonus buy
0:40:55 > 0:40:59and that has bounced you from ?15 worth of losses
0:40:59 > 0:41:01into ?10 worth of profits. Yes!
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Now, plus ?10 could be a winning score... Right.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08..so don't say a word to the Reds, right? Absolutely. Right.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Gosh, what fun we've had today, hey? What a great programme.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Now, have you been chatting at all? No. No. No. No, not at all.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Well, there is hardly a sheet of Bronco between these two teams.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27How lovely to be giving both teams cash to go home with. Ooh!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I mean, it's as close as that, lads,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35and you don't know quite where you're up to, which is a thrill.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38We can't have two winners, so we'll have one winner
0:41:38 > 0:41:39and some runners-up
0:41:39 > 0:41:42and the runners-up are the Blues. Oh! Oh!
0:41:42 > 0:41:46But there is no shame in this because it is, as I say,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48incredibly close.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Now, Blues, you've got to be duly grateful to Thomas Plant
0:41:51 > 0:41:55for his ?30 profit, thank you very much, on the Parker pens
0:41:55 > 0:42:01and his ?25 profit on the Jensen lookalike pendant,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03which is really very good, Tom, so you can walk tall.
0:42:03 > 0:42:09And I'm very pleased to give you, Claire, ?10. Thank you very much.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Have you had a good time? Fantastic. Fantastic, yes. Yeah.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Well, we've loved having you on the programme
0:42:15 > 0:42:17and it's nice to give the runners-up some cash.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22Whereas when we turn to the Reds, who've won by winning ?19,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24so there's not much between you,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27you did really rather well, didn't you?
0:42:27 > 0:42:28We think so. You think so.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32So just following your animal theme didn't do you any harm. Not at all.
0:42:32 > 0:42:38So, good. Now, there's that, Mags, and I give you a few coins as well.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42And as Bill said, it's almost enough for a bottle of bubbly...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Absolutely. ..which you will enjoy. I will.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Have you enjoyed being on the programme? It's been a blast.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50It's been wonderful. Very good. What about you, Bill?
0:42:50 > 0:42:54With these two ladies, how can I not? Half the population is envious.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Anyway, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Yes!
