0:00:03 > 0:00:04Oh, I do love this town.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07More antiques shops than you can shake a stick at.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Perfect! Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Yep, today we're in Hungerford in Berkshire,
0:00:40 > 0:00:44where Team UK face Team USA.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48So many shops, so little time.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- Introducing the Americans... - I like the box.- I like the box.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55He likes the box.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Yay!- Ooh, I'm going completely doolally.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Erm, yeah. - But I'm not the only one.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04Oh, dear, David.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's meet the teams.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, Mary and Julie, welcome. Lovely to see you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Mary, how did you two girls meet?
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We both have sons that play rugby and I was on the sideline cheering
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and she was on the sideline cheering
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and we were the loudest ones cheering...
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- You were cheering in American!- Yes.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And we really didn't know what we were doing, so we were saying, "Go, go, go!"
0:01:30 > 0:01:34And you've got this oval ball and they did something called a scrum.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Yes.- And you thought... - "Just go, just go!"
0:01:37 > 0:01:39"Just go! Trample on everybody."
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- We realised that we both didn't know what we were talking about.- No.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- We became instant friends. - That's fun.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Are you working here?- I'm over here for Bargain Hunt.- Of course.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50You've flown in specially.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53No, my husband's job brought us over here
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and Julie's husband's job brought her over here.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00How do you girls keep busy when you're not running round after your children?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We have a great group of friends that we go to lunch with and...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- You're ladies that lunch. - Absolutely.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08We have adventures all the time. Here we are.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And you're OK on the right side of the road and all that?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Never had a problem.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- No, only joking. - Except when I go home.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17And how do you think you're going to get on today?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Are you going to be scary or friendly?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- We'll be friendly.- Oh, yeah. - You'll be friendly. How lovely.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26The Blues will be reassured to hear that.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28We've got friendly Americans here today.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- It's lovely to see you, Lynette and Sally. How are you?- Good, thank you.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Isn't it nice to hear how the other half live, eh?- We also lunch.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- You're very keen on that. - We're good at lunching.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42But you also like travelling, Lynette.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, since my marriage broke up I've been to...
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Well, I came back last week from the Gambia,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- so that makes 21 countries. - 21 countries.- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Gosh. It's worth getting divorced, isn't it...- It was. - ..if it leads you to 21 countries?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57What other passions have you got apart from travelling?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I love dancing
0:02:59 > 0:03:04and I go to a ballet and jazz class a couple of times a week.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Do you?- And... Don't laugh.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13No, no, no. I always think that's rather a romantic thing to do.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So, Sally, how did you and Lynette become friends?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Gosh, it was years ago. We've been friends for years, haven't we?- Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Our husbands worked together and I think it was a Christmas party
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and I was standing at the bar
0:03:25 > 0:03:27and all I saw was Lynette coming out of the ladies
0:03:27 > 0:03:29with her dress caught in her tights.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35It's that awful moment when you think, "Do I tell her or do I just leave it?"
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- You would hope that a friend would say...- It was the right thing to do.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I had walked across the dance floor at this point.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44And wondered why everyone was pointing at you.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Now, the money moment. £300 apiece. Here we go, girls.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51£300. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Gosh, how cosmopolitan, hey?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02The clock has started. Who are our experts?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06David Barby - such a doll.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- I like always to buy quality. - Yes.- Yes, I agree, absolutely.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12And Philip Serrell. What a guy!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17The gals are feeling right at home.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's really interesting. "German Americans for Reagan"?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Byelorussians for Ronald Reagan.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- How well are these going to go in Sussex? Come along.- All right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- That's very pretty. - What have you got there, David?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33There's the little coffee can with the repeated decoration inside.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- That's lovely.- Can you feel, if you put your finger in?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Can you feel all the way round there?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- That is a Miles Mason pattern. - We'll go for this, shall we?
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- I think the decoration is absolutely exquisite.- Yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49It's all hand painted. They're asking £115
0:04:49 > 0:04:51but we've got to sell at auction.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54We need to buy it somewhere between £70 and £80.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56That's a challenge.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Walking sticks?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Now listen, girls. We are not American tourists, all right?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- We are. We're tourists here today. - No, you're living here.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- But we still feel like tourists, sometimes.- Oh, dear.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14Now, no pressure, Blue team, but Barby is watching you haggle.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What price can you give us on this?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- It's a Miles Mason.- Yes, I know.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Mid Victorian.- Mm-hm.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29I can understand why you like it.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32115. What sort of price were you thinking of?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34This sounds very cheeky but could you take 70?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Sort of 85.- Mm. Not really.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think we're in danger of the price going up.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- It's lovely. We like it. - Yes, we'll go for 80, then.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- We'll go for 80.- Let me give you £1 back. It sounds better at 79. - There's a deal!
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Well done, girls. £115 down to 79.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Mr Barby will be pleased.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04If we could get it down, would that be profitable? No?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- OK, let's just put that one away. - Moving right along.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- We're looking at nice things we can't afford.- Story of our lives.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18It's always those quirky things that seem to make a profit.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- And that IS ridiculous. - Wow!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Time to step in, Mr Serrell.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Girls, what do you think of that? - Oh, that's beautiful.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Can you tell that date?- He can.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Do you know the easiest way to tell the date? Look at the label.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34LAUGHTER
0:06:34 > 0:06:35And it says Sheffield, 1904.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- So that's just a little tip. - I like that.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- And what is this here? - That's the monogram...
0:06:41 > 0:06:43I can't even read it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The American education system is sadly lacking.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- This must be an S and W.- WS.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54If you're going to a teetotal do, you slip this into your handbag
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and when no-one's looking, you have a quick gin, you know?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Don't let your teenager in sight of that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's £115.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- So you have got to go and use your very sweet...- Her Southern charm.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- What, Cornwall?- Atlanta, Georgia, in the South.- Georgia.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Yeah, Georgia! - I love the way she says that.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14- Go on, do your worst.- OK.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20That Southern charm got the hip flask down to £80.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Now, what have you found there, Lynette?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26..instead of money...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Sally, David, what do you think of this?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- What have you got there? - I love scent bottles.- Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33It's a really, really vibrant blue, that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- It's very much Upstairs, Downstairs, isn't it?- Yes.- It's very pretty.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42It's not silver marked. The thing that worries me is that's not glass.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- That's a plastic drinking straw. - And that would affect the price.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Yes.- I think it's very pretty. - It's a sweet little bottle.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I'm just worried that if all the parts aren't original, it might affect the value.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I don't think any buyer's going to open it and look at it,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59the plastic bit inside.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- It's £68.- I'm not sure.- You're interested in that one?- I am, yes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Right. That's got to be well under £50.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Get a price established on it and then say, "Oh, I'll come back to it." Let's part company.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Come on, Lynette.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Hi, ladies.- Hi. - We've found something here.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I noticed that it doesn't have a silver mark on
0:08:22 > 0:08:26and on the ticket it says silver and enamel perfume spray
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and it has a plastic straw.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Yes, that looks like a replacement. - That would have been glass.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's probably an Art Deco straw, you know.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Will they fall for it?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42No!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Could you take 40? - 35 to 40 because it's...
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I think we might be in trouble with 40, girls.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Let's come back.- Yeah.- OK. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53No sale. Better luck next time, girls.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Do you know anybody called Kelly?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I mean, do you know a girl called Kelly?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Because if you do, I have just found you
0:09:05 > 0:09:08the ideal birthday present
0:09:08 > 0:09:10for Kelly.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Here you go, look. It says, "Has anybody seen Kelly?"
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Just look what's Kelly's doing.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This is a piece of bawdy pottery,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26transfer printed and then hand-coloured later,
0:09:26 > 0:09:31showing Kelly, well, what can I say?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Baring herself to nature.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And underneath, again in transfer print,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41it says, "Kiss my..." dot, dot, dot.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45So, Kelly, what would your loved one pay
0:09:45 > 0:09:52for such a personalised, bawdy, saucy, seaside type of present?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Well, it would cost you £45.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Worth every penny I'd say. Cheeky.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Both teams have got item number one.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05We've got 27 minutes left.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Ah! Where's the Moorcroft? - It's down here.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11The race is on to find number two.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I'd like to buy something with an American influence.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- If it comes from Georgia, all the better.- Hey.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19You may be in luck, dude.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- There's an ashtray. It's USS. - It is.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's off an American submarine, isn't it?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Is it from a submarine? Hey! - Why do we know that?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- I don't know that.- Read the label.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35You are learning, aren't you? She's learning, this girl.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Do you like it?- Yeah, I do.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- And it's an American thing. - Beat him to death.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- You've got it marked for 35...- Yeah. - ..and we think it's a nice piece.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Go for 15!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- You've just got to bend this one right round.- This one?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- You can do it. - 17 and 50 shiny pennies.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- 50p's no good, we can't do the graphics. - I give up, you're too good.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- 17.- Well done.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- Hey, guys, what's happening? - Hey, we've been busy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- How many have you got? - We got two pieces already.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09We just bought a really wicked American submarine ashtray.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Get away!- Yes. - Could they smoke on submarines?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13I don't think so, do you?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17It's really cool. All the American sailors want to buy ashtrays.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Well, I know what you're like about sailors.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Let's hope the submarine ashtray doesn't sink at auction.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Lynette and Sally are delightful.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31They're quite positive. They don't want to buy anything damaged.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Let's just check there's no damage.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37It's nice but I'm so nervous about anything damaged.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Listen, you and I are pretty damaged because we're old.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- That... I think the eyeball's missing.- It did fall out, didn't it?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I heard something.- Yeah, it just... - Here it is!
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Yeah. I can't believe it's happening to me, today.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Look at that! Faulty goods! Leave them on the shelf.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58- It's a nice shape. - Yes. In carved wood.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Nice shape, shame about the face.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- How are you getting on with David Barby?- He's really nice.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- I'm going to take him home.- There's hardly anything left of him, though.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I know! You've lost an awful lot of weight.- Stop showing off, David.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I think it's called flashing, actually.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- How are you getting on with the girls, David?- Delightful. They know what they want.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20They've got prices in their heads.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22They were determined right from the outset.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Mirror, mirror, on the wall Who's the fairest of us all?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's not me. Pass it along.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31There is some damage but they are carved-wood framed
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and these have been screwed onto a wall.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35They would have been on a pub wall like that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- We're missing the top section here. - Right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40We've lost a little bit of the carving at the top there.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43This has also suffered the same damage.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- The price is 150.- That's quite high. - It is quite high.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I think it could either do really well
0:12:50 > 0:12:53or if there's nobody there to buy them, do badly
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- but I'm up for taking the risk. - Right. No pressure!
0:12:56 > 0:12:58The clock's ticking, ladies.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Girls, we've got 15 minutes left. We're three quarters of the way through.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- We've bought two bits but we need to try...- All right.- OK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10..put our foot on the loud pedal.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Now, how goes it with our Blue bombshells?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- They need to be under £100, really. - Under?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21They need a lot of restoration. The glass is broken.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24They actually need quite a lot of work done on them.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- So...- They're very beautiful but I do understand.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31OK, I will ring.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Hello, Linda. It's Adrian here from the arcade.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36I've got a nice couple in here looking at your lovely mirrors
0:13:36 > 0:13:40with slight damage - a chip to the glass.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46They're 150. 10% would be down to 135.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Can you do better, please?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50We're running out of time, as well.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55She will do the 100 but the very best is £100.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Right.- I'm OK about that.- OK, right. We'll take them.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Yes, we'll take them at 100. - Thank you very much.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Lovely, great.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Yes! They bought the mirrors.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Thank you very much.- We have to move very quickly, here. Thank you.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Thanks, bye.- Can I just take you up the avenue.- Follow you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- £95? We're walking. - It's got to be quality.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Look at these two. They are good.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Girls, you've got minutes to buy your last item.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26They have some boxes? Do you like boxes or not?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28No, I do like them
0:14:28 > 0:14:31but I just think it will go and die a thousand deaths.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33She's not listening to you, Phil.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39Well, I love boxes. It looks like it has original inkwells in it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Well, I don't think that's original. - How old is that?
0:14:42 > 0:14:451900-ish, I would think.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48This is made out of pitch pine.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- Pitch pine, you've got the pine colour there...- Mm-hm.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54..but then you've got these very dark streaks down it
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and that's pitch pine.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59They made a lot of church pews out of pitch pine. I like that.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Which is really sad.- I love unusual things. It's just different.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- I love the paper.- That's pretty.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08If we can find out how much the best they can do on this is.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11The price tag says £55.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Gloves off! Time to box.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18We'd really like to buy the box but we need some help on the price.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Well, I'm sorry to say that I'm absolutely forbidden
0:15:22 > 0:15:24to go below 48 for it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- I've asked my boss and he said no. You could...- He's looking that way.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- OK.- Let's go talk to the boss. - Let's talk to the boss.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Have you ever been subjected to Atlanta drawl?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Because you're about to be.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- The girls like this.- We really do. - We think it's a nice thing.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- It is a nice thing.- I guess at 45 quid you'd have, would you?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Yeah. We'd take it for 45. That's what we thought when we saw it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Are you going to bully me?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- We will. We're not going to leave. - She's pretty good.- I can see that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- You really want it, don't you? - Yes, we do.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03- HE SIGHS - OK. I'll use my managerial status and get into a lot of trouble
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- and say yes.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Thanks. Great. Thank you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'll shake your hand as well.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- Thank you, that's lovely. Well done, girls.- OK!- OK.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Tea time?- Yes, ma'am.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18The Reds are done. What did they buy?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23An Edwardian silver and glass hip flask for £80.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Philip dived in and found this brass ashtray,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32once aboard the USS submarine Dogfish, for £17.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Finally, Julie's seductive Southern drawl
0:16:38 > 0:16:41got the pine writing box down to £45.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Eh, you chaps, you are amazing, aren't you? That was good shopping.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- We've done well. - We've done very well.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Which is your favourite piece? - I like the box
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- but I think that the ashtray will make the best profit.- Yeah?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Now, where is the leftover...
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I think Mary has it.- ..lolly? - I have it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Yes.- Could you just say, "I like the box," again for me?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I just like the way you talk.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- Go on. Do it one more time. - I like the box.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- I like the box.- Brilliant, isn't it? - He likes the box.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- We all like the box.- Yay!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Do you call it lolly in America? - No.- You don't.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- A lollipop.- A sucker or a lollipop.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- This is a sucker or a lollipop? - You can't suck on it.- Yeah, you can.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You put it all in your mouth and suck on it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29If you've got a big enough mouth you can put the whole thing in.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Leftover lolly. How much did you spend altogether?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- £142.- I'll trust you. Millions wouldn't.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38There we go. £158.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So what are you going to spend that on, then, Philip Serrell?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I'm going to go and get them something quintessentially English.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Oh, right.- Sounds good. - What, a replica of yourself?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- What a good idea.- It is a good idea.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Five minutes to go. What have you got, David?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02You know we were looking at that other scent bottle?
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I think this is identical. - Yes, it's sweet.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- It's got nice decoration there. Pink.- Yes.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Pink is very much in vogue. - Yes.- Right.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I think that's quite nice.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's got the original glass tube inside. The other one had a straw.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- OK. Have a look at that. - Let's have a...
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Can I just point out that, look, the puffer sticks.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We could put a bit of WD40 on that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Yes, I think the more use it gets it becomes...- OK.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- 75.- Let's find out.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Excuse me. This is priced at 75. What's the very best?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I've spoken to Anne about it and she said she will come down to 45.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- 45.- OK.- That's good.- Whose choice is this going to be?- It's yours.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53- Your choice.- Lynette, that's yours. Do you like that more than the blue?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Er... yes.- That's a done deal, then, isn't it?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- OK. Shall we go for it?- Yes. OK.- OK.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Lovely.- Thank you very much. - Lovely. Thank you, David.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Oh, two. I feel such a relief.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Great. OK. Good.- No, that's pretty. So we've got three things.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- We've done it.- Brilliant, brilliant. And you're happy with them?- Yes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Yes. I'm nervous about those mirrors. I'm going to have sleepless nights about those.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20If they bomb, I'll just feel awful.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So what did the girls buy altogether?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27A porcelain coffee can and saucer for £79.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33Reflecting on their success, they bought a pair of gilt carved mirrors
0:19:33 > 0:19:34for £100.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37The damage is already giving Sally nightmares.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43And finally, for £45, Lynette's dream came true
0:19:43 > 0:19:48when David found her a perfect 1930s French atomiser.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Was it an interesting experience? Did it come up to your expectations?
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Oh, it was great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- I've enjoyed it.- What about the hour? - That's a bit tough.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- 'Ey up, kids.- Hello. - You've finished.- We're done. - Congratulations.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- Here you are, clutching your atomiser.- Yes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- So, which is your favourite piece, Sally?- I think the pair of mirrors.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11They're beautiful but I'm nervous about them.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- It's fingers crossed to see how they go.- That's the thing. Nobody knows what's going to happen.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- Have you ever been able to count your chickens?- Never. Never.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23So many things I've bought, great expectations, they've bombed.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- What exactly have we got here? - Let's have a look.
0:20:26 > 0:20:3020, 40, 60, 70, six.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I nearly gave you a jelly bean, which I'm sure is a bit...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I like a hairy jelly bean.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39This cash comes over to you. Quite a responsibility.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Have you got anything in mind? - Well, we've seen so much
0:20:42 > 0:20:46but I'm getting some general idea of what the girls are interested in
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- and it's got to be something of quality and unusual.- Of course.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- These are top of the notch, these girls.- Absolutely. - You're right.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Good luck with that, David.- OK.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere really rather spectacular.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06One of the wonderful things about this house
0:21:06 > 0:21:10is the way it just surprises you when you get first sight of it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16but it's not the only surprising view here at Dyrham Park.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19The other is inside it.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25From where you are, you're in a room with a view
0:21:25 > 0:21:28but not everything is as it appears.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33In fact, you're being deluded.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Or, dare I say it, conned.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Gotcha!
0:21:38 > 0:21:45Isn't this the most extraordinarily clever piece of illusionist painting
0:21:45 > 0:21:47you have ever seen?
0:21:50 > 0:21:56It was painted by Samuel Van Hoogstraten in 1662
0:21:56 > 0:22:00and you think, "Gosh, there's a Dutch interior
0:22:00 > 0:22:02"at the end of that corridor."
0:22:02 > 0:22:05But what's actually happening in this picture?
0:22:05 > 0:22:11What we've got in this room is a young man standing outside,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14looking in at this pretty little girl,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16who's looking very tense.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20And the elders, the parents,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23are interviewing her about this incident.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28The picture is dominated at the front by this birdcage.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32A birdcage which, significantly, has the door open
0:22:32 > 0:22:36with a parrot that's just about to fly out.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40The symbolism of a birdcage with an open door
0:22:40 > 0:22:43is that someone's lost their virginity.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48But in this instance, the green parrot has not yet flitted out,
0:22:48 > 0:22:53so perhaps, all is not lost.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56What's the significance of that scrap of paper
0:22:56 > 0:22:58at the bottom of the stairs?
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Could that be a love note?
0:23:01 > 0:23:06There is some tension in this building. The animals know it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08The cat with its arched back -
0:23:08 > 0:23:13very sensitive creatures, about to hiss and spit.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17And this sweet little King Charles puppy dog in the foreground
0:23:17 > 0:23:21looks to me pretty scared.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Have we got an instance here of a young man
0:23:24 > 0:23:27who's fallen in love with this young girl
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and they've been, how can I put it?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Up to no good.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The picture is entitled The Loss Of Innocence
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Of course the big question today is
0:23:40 > 0:23:43are there any auction virgins in today's sale?
0:23:45 > 0:23:4844 it is. And £46. Is there any advance?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50At £46, then.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- One more.- Indecision is a terrible thing.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58£50 I have. It really is fair warning. At £50.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, isn't this lovely? To be in West Sussex,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05in Washington at Rupert Toovey's sale room
0:24:05 > 0:24:07with the great man Rupert himself.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Rupert.- Tim, how lovely to see you again.- Very nice to see you.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16For our Red Team, Mary and Julie, our first item is the silver and glass flask.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18It's rather a handsome thing, isn't it?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Nice to have some liquid anaesthetic in your pocket.- Quite.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25We can always do with a nip of that at any time of the day or night.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29But it's been enjoyed, hasn't it? There's a bit of wear to the marks.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I think it's worth between 60 and 90 quid.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Fantastic. £80 they paid, right bang in the middle.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- It's got a good chance. - It could make a small profit.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42So we've got the USS Dogfish, here. Do you think it's worth anything?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46It depends what happened to the USS Dogfish, really.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I don't know! What's the estimate?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50£10-£20.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- OK. £17 rather amusingly spent. - We'll see.- We'll see.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57And their third item is this rather rough and ready pine writing box.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00It's nice, the pitch pine. It has a lovely colour to it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- It has that kind of churchy feel about it.- It certainly does!
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Do you fancy it? - Erm, well, not really but...
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I think that the age of the computer may have overtaken this.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14I think it has, slightly. Would you like to make it for £45?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17You couldn't but I fear it will only make 30 or 40.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, that's all right. As long as makes more than 45.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25On that happy note, because I fancy they're going to need it, we'll look at this team's bonus buy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Hang about.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- You spent, my darlings, £142. - We did.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35You gave 'Er Indoors £158. What did he spend it on?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- This is the moment, Serrell. - Ready?- Yes, we want to know.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42There you are, then.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- He is so naughty, isn't he? - Just listen, right? Concentrate.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- What's so funny about this? - Concentrate.- OK.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53This is an Edwardian rosewood centre table.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55There's one of these brackets missing around here
0:25:55 > 0:25:58but I bought this for £110
0:25:58 > 0:26:03and it's going to be interesting to see what the auctioneer estimates it at and to see what it makes.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It wouldn't surprise me if it made £150
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- and it wouldn't surprise me if it made £75.- Right.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- What was it used for, originally? - As a centre table in a parlour.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16What would somebody use it for today?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18A centre table in a parlour.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25What I love about our girls is that they're really interested in everything.
0:26:25 > 0:26:26You are smashing.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30Now, you don't decide until after the sale of the first three items
0:26:30 > 0:26:34but for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the table.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Well, Edwardian. Rosewood, a very glamorous timber.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42But, Tim, is it going to earn its space in somebody's drawing room?
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I don't know. It looks flashy but it's quite faded.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- It's a little play-worn, isn't it? - Play-worn. Lovely, Rupert.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54Serrell's invested his cash in it and he's a man of the timber.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- How much?- 30 to 50, Tim.- Oh, dear. He'll be disappointed with that.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03- £110 he paid.- Oh, sorry, Philip. - Maybe the team won't go with it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05That's exciting. Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09So, Blues. Miles Mason porcelain coffee can
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- and there's only one of them. - Which is a shame.- It is.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- Because if you'd got six in a cabinet...- It would be wonderful.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19..it would be good but we've only got the one.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21They're great value at the moment
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and that means it will probably make £20-£40.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- They paid £79.- Ah.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29We're not predicting any profit on that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- What about the pair of mirrors, Rupert?- They're very sweet
0:27:32 > 0:27:34but they've been regilded, I think.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I don't like it when you see that yellow poking through.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's a slightly unusual decorative quality, isn't it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44I don't mind a bit of red but when it's yellow, I'm not so keen.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47It doesn't reflect the light with quite the same quality
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- that you'd have expected originally. - No.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- 50 to 70, I think.- £100 they paid.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55That's the second torpedo whacking into this hull.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58So their last item - is this going to be a trio of disaster? -
0:27:58 > 0:28:01is the atomiser.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Jolly difficult, isn't it, really, because this sort of vintage item
0:28:04 > 0:28:08we don't display on dressing tables like we used to.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12No. And, frankly, if it's silver, that's OK,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14but if it's plate, you say how much?
0:28:14 > 0:28:1615 to 25.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They paid £45.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24We are uniquely estimating way underneath everything that they paid for these three items.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32You spent £224, which is magnificent.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35You only gave him £76. What did you spend it on, David?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37I wanted to buy something of quality
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- because everything you bought was of quality.- Indeed. Led by you.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You are such a grub, sometimes.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Well, I bought this.- Oh! - That's sweet.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50It's a little cravat pin that would have been used
0:28:50 > 0:28:51across a rather large tie.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55If you were going out hunting, this would be rather nice to wear.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Also, it's a good luck symbol. 18 carat gold
0:28:57 > 0:29:01and these are real pearls.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Yes, I think that's very sweet.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- What did you pay for it?- I paid £55.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07What sort of price would it go for?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11It depends whether people are going to use it as a cravat pin.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- Do people use them these days?- Well, I use one if I'm wearing a cravat.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Yeah, but do PEOPLE use them? - Am I not a person?
0:29:20 > 0:29:24I mean, ask yourself, how many people do you see up the street
0:29:24 > 0:29:28wearing a stock pin or tie pin?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- How many people do you see in the street dressed? - I beg your pardon?
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- Well, in my street...- Smart, smart. - I see, yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Yes.- No, if your friends are going out to dinner or to some kind of do,
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- do you see them wearing stock pins and tie pins much?- No.- No.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45You might decide, perhaps, not to risk it.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49On the other hand, you might love it and trust the man and have a go.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Don't look at me like that!
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Anyway, for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:29:55 > 0:29:57about David's stick pin.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Right, Rupert, just what you need these days, a nice stick pin.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- But it is 18-carat gold, isn't it? - Yes.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- And it is in the shape of a horseshoe.- Yes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- You don't think it might bring them a bit of luck?- They need it.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Is it going to make them a fortune, do you think?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- I think it's about £40-£60.- He paid £55, so about in the middle.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- It has a chance, though.- It does.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Are you on the rostrum?- Yes.- Good. We're in safe hands.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27At £10. Is there any advance on £10?
0:30:27 > 0:30:3120? Marvellous.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Here's a strange-looking object. What do you make of this?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39The design of this particular gadget
0:30:39 > 0:30:42looks as if it could have come from the 1960s
0:30:42 > 0:30:45but to think that it was registered
0:30:45 > 0:30:47in the third quarter of the 19th century
0:30:47 > 0:30:49is truly remarkable.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52But what would you use it for?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Well, in the 1870s, your dining or breakfast room
0:30:54 > 0:30:58could be a cool mile and a half away from the kitchen
0:30:58 > 0:31:01and what do you like for breakfast?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03You like a freshly boiled egg, right?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06We all like a freshly boiled egg.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09And abracadabra, I just happen to have my egg here.
0:31:09 > 0:31:15And then, using this very cunning ladle, shove it into the hot water.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17If you wanted to give it three minutes,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19if you like yours soft-boiled,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22or four minutes, if you like the hard-boiled,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25and then using the cunning ladle, you fish it out like that
0:31:25 > 0:31:26and bung it in your egg cup.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31Now, how clever is that? I think remarkably clever.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35How collectable is this object? Extremely collectable.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Museums around the world just have to have
0:31:38 > 0:31:42a Dr Christopher Dresser designed object in their collections
0:31:42 > 0:31:45because he was so cutting edge.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50If the competitive interest is out there amongst the buyers,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53it could bring a couple of thousand pounds.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Now, that's quite hard-boiled.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59There you are. Hours of endless fun.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And opening the bidding here at £18.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- So how are we doing, girls? - Good.- Good.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Are feeling at all nervy? - No, not at all.- Not at all?- No.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Nerves of steel, you Yanks? - Absolutely.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I think you're pretty cool, your team.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16You've paid the right price, according to his estimates.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- Fingers crossed. - You should come out of it all right.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22It all else fails, you've got £110 of risk
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- with P Serrell's rosewood table. - OK.- That's right.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- OK, girls?- OK.- Your moment has arrived and here we go.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Sheffield, 1904. Lovely thing, there.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43And we're opening at £40 with the book. Can I see...? Two.
0:32:43 > 0:32:4545, 48 and 50 and five.
0:32:45 > 0:32:5155 and 60. 65 I'm bid in the centre. Can I see the 70?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- At £65. Is there any advance? - Is that it?
0:32:53 > 0:32:57At 65 and it's fair warning. At £65...
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- GAVEL BANGS - Uh-oh. £65. That's not as predicted.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03That is minus £15. Don't fret.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07A 20th century brass ashtray from the USS Dogfish!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09SS 350.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13And it was a submarine, in case you didn't know.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16So who'll start me at 20? Say ten, then, please.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20£10 I'm bid. £10 now, £10 now.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23£12, can I see? At £10 and it's the maiden bid at 10.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Oh, no.- Is there any advance on £10?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- It's not going so well, this, really.- Come on.- Oh, 12.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31And 14 in the distance. Marvellous.
0:33:31 > 0:33:3414 I have and 16's there. 18.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- And 20!- Yes!- Two!
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- 24...- Ooh!- 26.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Oh, no, she says. 24 it is, with you, sir, at the back.- Go on.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4624. Are we all done at £24?
0:33:46 > 0:33:4824.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52What about that? It's so good. £24. You just made plus £7,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55which means you are only minus £8. Here we go.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- Now, the writing box. - I like this, I like this.- OK.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Two lidded compartments. Lovely original paper in that one.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06What shall we say for that, please? £40?
0:34:06 > 0:34:1130, then? 30 I'm bid. At 30 and two. 35, 38.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14And 40? 38 I have with you, madam.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16At £38. Can I see the 40?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- At £38. Is there any advance? - Go on, go on.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- At £38. Are you all done? - I can't bear it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25- 40, now.- Yes!- And 42.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Yes.- 45?- Go on, bid again.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29No? No more?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- 42, I have with you, madam.- Come on. - At £42.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Are we all done? At £42.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Fair warning. 42.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41I can't bear it. £42. That's a miserable £3 off.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- You are minus 11.- That is bad, bad.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Now, listen, that ain't bad. - That ain't bad?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50You said it. That ain't bad. I mean, that is darn good.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52- Darn good!- Darn good.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56This is a drama now. What are you going to do about this bonus buy?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Minus 11 could be a winning score. I have to say that.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- We're just going to stick. - You're going to stick?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Wise move. Sorry, it's nothing to do with me.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07That's a definite decision. You are going to stick.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'll breathe a sigh of relief.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12You've made your decision, they're not going with the bonus buy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I have to tell you that the auctioneer's estimate was £30-£50
0:35:16 > 0:35:17- for this lot.- Ooh.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I mean, no disrespect, Phil,
0:35:19 > 0:35:21everything that you have said about that table
0:35:21 > 0:35:24being clean, being collectable and inexpensive...
0:35:24 > 0:35:27The girls are not going with it but let's see what happens, eh?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Here it comes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31An Edward rosewood octagonal centre table
0:35:31 > 0:35:34with satinwood cross-banded borders and inlaid stringing.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40opening at £50.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41At £50. Can I see the 55?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44At £50 for the table. Conflicting bids here.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47At £50. Is there any advance on 50?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49It's £50.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Good move, girls. £50, £50. That would have been minus 60.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56You didn't go with it. You are minus £11.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- OK.- That's pretty good. - You are some cute chicks, you are.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Now, listen, keep everything under your hat.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Don't say a word to those Blues. - Not a word.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Not a stinker to them, all right? Lovely.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Well done.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Aw, shucks.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Hooray! At £20 and four. 26, sir?

0:36:45 > 0:36:49I'm opening this lot with conflicting bids at £700. £750.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51800, 850.

0:37:09 > 0:37:12Fair warning, here. £2,000...
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Well, there you go. Certainly not soft-boiled.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Now, girls, feeling excited? - Yes, I am.- Yes.
0:37:21 > 0:37:22It's a curious thing, isn't it?
0:37:22 > 0:37:27You have to wait for the objects to come up and here we are at the edge of the precipice.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No idea.- Very good.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Do you think they looked confident?
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- They did.- They had a smile on their face.- A bit American, cocky.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38We're having a massive lack of confidence at the moment.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42If the worst comes to the worst, you've got your good-luck horseshoe to fall back on.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- We might need it.- You might need it. - We might need it.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Well, it seems to me that you need the good luck straightaway,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- rather than later on. - We could do with that going first.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- Not to worry. Nobody knows anything about anything until the hammer drops.- Absolutely.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Confident to the end. - Fingers crossed.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02First up is the porcelain coffee can and here it comes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:07343 is a beautiful Miles Mason porcelain coffee can and saucer,

0:38:16 > 0:38:17Shall we say 20, then, please?
0:38:17 > 0:38:2020 I'm bid. At £20. Now, 22 can I see?

0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Is there any advance on £20? - Oh, no.- At £20.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- That's a disaster.- Are we all done?

0:39:01 > 0:39:03£30 now. 32 can I see? Maiden bid at 30.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06At £30. Is there any advance on 30?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Can I see the two anywhere? £30.

0:39:40 > 0:39:45- It's not going to make up the loss we've made.- Creeping is correct.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48At £16. All done at £16?
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Fair warning.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54- That is £158 down the proverbial. - Are we that much down?
0:39:54 > 0:40:00- 158 down out of a total expenditure of 224...- Is that a record?
0:40:00 > 0:40:04In percentage terms, this has to be on the bad end of Bargain Hunt.
0:40:04 > 0:40:09- What about the bonus buy? - We have to go with it.- We can't not.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Is what's they call good luck. Are you going to go with it?- Yeah.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43No? 30 it is with you, sir.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45At £30. Are we all done at 30?
0:40:45 > 0:40:49- At £30. Fair warning... - That's 178.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52That's minus £25. Nothing to laugh about here.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- The gold value is worth more than that.- 175...
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Minus 183.- It's a record. I've never seen anything quite so low.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Minus 183.- Oh, I've seen it worse. - Have you?

0:41:07 > 0:41:11- minus £183...- Might be a winner! - ..might be a winning score.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Fair warning!
0:41:18 > 0:41:23Well, teams, this is the moment to reveal all. Been chatting?
0:41:23 > 0:41:28- No, no.- You have no idea just how well or just how badly you have done.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32- No.- Because the difference fair takes the breath away,
0:41:32 > 0:41:33I have to say,
0:41:33 > 0:41:38and the team with the monster loss, I'm afraid, are the Blues.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42I can't bear it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45Minus £183.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Don't give up the day job, that's all I'm saying.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- They only spent £224.- Sh! Sh! - How much?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Don't rub it in, Phil.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Minus £183 is considerable.
0:41:57 > 0:42:03How the coffee can could lose 59, how the mirrors could lose 70
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and how that wretched atomiser thing could lose 29 I don't know.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10You went with the stick pin and that didn't do you any good either.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12So there we go. What can I say?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15You've been a great team, you've been very British,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18you've been very sporting about it all
0:42:18 > 0:42:20but today, the Americans take the prize.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Yes!- Yes! - MUSIC: "The Star-Spangled Banner"
0:42:24 > 0:42:27They're not taking home any money, though,
0:42:27 > 0:42:32because the overall score is minus 11 but that is a very respectable score
0:42:32 > 0:42:34in relation to everything else.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- And you did make your profit out of the USS...S Dogfish.- We did.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Yes. Good for the Dogfish.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Anyway, there we are. You decided not to go with the bonus buy.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50That was a smart move, therefore minus £11 is the winning score today.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Yes!
