0:00:02 > 0:00:05We're in Liverpool, the Red team versus the Blue team.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Football? Nah! Much more interesting.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37No, we're not at Anfield or Goodison Park, either.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39We're at Aintree race course.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Of course, in this game there's no football,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46just an hour to find a hat-trick of bargains before the final whistle.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48So let's have a look at the highlights.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Henry Meadows' Blue team struggle to make decisions.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55So that's on the "Let's go back and have a look list"?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00And the Red team send Jonathan Pratt round the bend.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01I despair.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Who will emerge triumphant at the auction?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- My goodness, this has been a struggle.- Excellent.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10CHEERING
0:01:11 > 0:01:16Today on the Red team we have firm friends Dave and David.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Dave, you share the same name and quite a few other likes and dislikes.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Yeah, Dave's really into The Who and that type of music
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and I'm into classical music, so we're totally different.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30I love football and Dave hates football.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- But yet you're friends. - And business partners.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- What sort of business? - We're in mortgage advice.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39So what do you get up to when you're not being entrepreneurial?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Collecting football memorabilia, getting shirts signed.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I go up to the ground, Liverpool FC, and get them signed.- Do you?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Is there anything else that you two don't agree on, David?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Well, it's mainly the football, to be honest.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I can't be bothered with football at all.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- You are a collector like Dave, though, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- There's common ground there. - Music collectables, memorabilia.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I've got a tour tracksuit from 1974 owned by Keith Moon of the Who,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07the drummer.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- How do you know it was Keith Moon's? - It was bought in auction.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14It was a guy who used to be his driver who put them in auction.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- So he authenticated it?- Yeah.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19What sort of things are you going to go for today?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23We think with it being Aintree, we might go for equestrian stuff.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I think you're going to have fun. Lovely to meet you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Now, girls, Karen and Sharon. Best mates, yes?- Yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Where did you meet, then?- We both work for the ambulance service.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35We're resource coordinators.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Are you two in tune with one another?- No, absolutely not.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43We're like the Red team, we have nothing in common.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48We are really best buddies but we just don't agree on anything.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, you've also got something of a sixth sense.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I'm very much into the paranormal.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Sharon will laugh because she thinks it's completely bizarre
0:02:57 > 0:02:59but I love it, I think it's great.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- You can't predict the future, can you?- No. I wouldn't be here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06I'd be in the Caribbean with my lottery winnings.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Now, Sharon, you're also a collector.- I am.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12But of some pretty out-there stuff.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, I'm a big science fiction fan
0:03:15 > 0:03:19and have been since aged 12, Star Trek.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I am a bit of a Trekkie.- Have you got your own Darth Vader wand?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Erm... no.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- You haven't got one of those?- No, I didn't like Star Wars very much.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31What about Karen? What does she think about it?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- She thinks I'm absolutely nuts. - And she's your friend. - She's my best friend.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Your best friend. Good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So, Sharrie, what's your plan today for victory?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Well, I did have my own plan set out
0:03:43 > 0:03:47but Karen did actually send me an email in work,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49listing things that I wasn't allowed to look at,
0:03:49 > 0:03:54ranging from Toby jugs, matchstick models
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- and garden gnomes.- Right.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58So I'm going to try to look for something a bit quirky
0:03:58 > 0:04:00and possibly go with Karen.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Yeah. Well, you are in a team together, you know.- Exactly.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06I think we could have some sparks today.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Now, the money moment. Here you go. Here's your £300, boys.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- £300, girls.- Thank you.- You know the rules, your experts await
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Well, Trekkies, eh?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Well, this is a one-horse race, isn't it, guys?- We're going to win.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- May the best man win. - Or women.- Or women.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28We're going to win.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Well, neither of our teams agree on much.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37How on earth will they decide on three items to buy?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The budget is £300 and off we go.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45I'm looking at that picture frame, £180. Does that catch your eye?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- It's spending it all in one go really, isn't it?- Sure, yeah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- I like that. What's the price on that?- 65 on that.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It might get 40. I don't think it's worth any more than 40.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I think it's worth thinking about.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I don't think it's got the legs, chaps.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- It's brass, isn't it?- It is, yeah. - What actually is it?
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'd probably call it a page-turner, really.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I'd say looking at the handle it's probably Japanese,
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Meiji period, which is going to be circa 1900, that sort of period.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24But, I mean, let's have a look. £42.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Erm... So we need to get a little bit more off.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I suspect if that came into one of our auctions,
0:05:30 > 0:05:36I'd probably say £30-£50, so we're not adrift, really,
0:05:36 > 0:05:37but let's see whether...
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- I don't know. Do you like it? - I actually quite like it, myself.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- It's...- I got my attention when we walked past.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47That looks nice. It's a relatively hot market at the moment.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Yeah.- Sorry, am I selling this to you?- You are. I like it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- You like it, don't you?- I do.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58There's evidence of solder here, whether that was when it was originally made
0:05:58 > 0:05:59or it could be a repair
0:05:59 > 0:06:03but if you could get it for £25, £30, you stand a chance.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Shall we give it a go?- Yeah. - Are you going to try, Karen?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Who's doing the haggling? - Looks like it's me.- Nominated. - See what you can do.- Thank you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The Reds are still looking for their perfect picture.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20This is a late Victorian reproduction...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Sorry, 19th century reproduction of a larger oil.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The Death Of Nelson is a well-known print.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28This is a steel-point engraving of HMS Victory.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- It's the size of it, as well. - It's not in that bad condition. It could be worse.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- How much is it?- It's 290. - What?- That's why we liked it.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41- 290?- Sorry.- We've only got 300. - I'd do 240. That's it, though.
0:06:41 > 0:06:48I like but if he'd said it was £150, £120, I'd have snapped his arm off.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Mm, remember. It's three items for £300.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Keep walking.- Thank you.- Cheers.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58We're looking around 25.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- No.- 28?- 30.
0:07:01 > 0:07:0330. Sharon?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- For £30 you're not going to go wrong, really.- OK, that's great.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Thank you very much.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12First item for the Blues but has Karen got the price down far enough?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15This is interesting.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- No! No!- Just...
0:07:18 > 0:07:20This is right up your street, isn't it, David?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It is mine. That's been signed by a few players, as well.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- That might be worth about...- 70 quid. - ..50 quid, something like that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- How much for the shirt? - I've got 120 on it.- Very good.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- Not for us.- No.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36OK, right, moving on.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Mm, I can see a pattern emerging here, Reds.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43We've had 20 minutes already, which is nothing to panic about,
0:07:43 > 0:07:44but we need to concentrate.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47At least we can discount where we've been so far.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Let's just go through here, keep working this way and see what we can find.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53As long as you go somewhere. Just hurry up.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04What about this piece for a second, relatively low-value?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- It's unusual, isn't it? - Art Deco, isn't it?- It's lovely.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- I really like that.- Yeah?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's the horse's stirrup, which is quite good for Aintree.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Yeah, it's equestrian. The other side were interested in equestrian things.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That's what I'm thinking.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I guess probably, looking at it, it's 1930s, '40s,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25perhaps at the latest.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30It was the age of chroming things - cars, mascots, things like that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Can I have a look at it? Just have a quick look.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Because often things get replaced when they get broken.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42Yeah, well, I mean, that's 25 quid, you know.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46If you can get a little bit off, we're going to stand a reasonable chance...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49What do you think that would be valued at at auction?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Well, obviously you need a couple of equestrian enthusiasts there,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56but I guess, I don't know, maybe £30, £40.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02It's tricky to say. Perhaps 50 on a good day with the wind behind it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- But do you want to have a think about it?- Yeah.- I do like that one.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- It would depend how low we can get it, I think.- Yeah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13If we look for something bigger, we can go back,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15if we're looking for a last-minute thing.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Let's hope no-one buys it in the meanwhile.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Risky strategy this, Blues.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21It's a roulette wheel.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26I wonder if the Reds are about to take a chance on their first item?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It's gambling, it's races, it's got horses on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Elephant racing - I haven't heard of that one -
0:09:32 > 0:09:35but you've got cock-fighting, horse racing, hare coursing.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40And these are painted lead figures and you can see there's age to it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43This is all coloured. This isn't all made yesterday.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- It's absolutely fine.- When was it made?- Oh, '20s or '30s.- Right.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51If the base is original, too, which it probably is,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53that will give you an idea of the age.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58Obviously, the '20s and '30s was that sort of gambling age.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03- It's a party-type thing, isn't it? So...- Yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- 140 quid, though.- Are we going to have that?.- Have a think about it.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09That's £1,000 we've spent so far.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Yes, spending in your head isn't getting you very far, though, is it?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Halfway on the clock and still no buys.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20All this tension! I need to sit down for a moment.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24This is nice and comfy, as well it ought to be,
0:10:24 > 0:10:29because when you look at that seat, that lovely lilac upholstered seat,
0:10:29 > 0:10:33it's thick and it's sprung and it's built for comfort.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37But it's a chair that's got a few unusual features.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42If you look at those front legs, they've got oddball turnings, look.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44The leg tapers in the turn
0:10:44 > 0:10:49but then it's got this rather oriental looking turned foot.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Those turnings continue not only in these uprights
0:10:52 > 0:10:56but throughout all the stretchers that go to make up the under-frame.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Now, the back is pretty oddball, too.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's almost a rectangular Georgian back.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09It's got a simple, fine-line moulding to it
0:11:09 > 0:11:14but instead of having a series of horizontal rails running all the way through,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18they're interrupted every so often with a vertical,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22which gives you this rather Chinesey looking back.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27The secret to this chair is that it's not a standard, mass-produced,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Victorian little bergere armchair.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34It's an architect-designed piece of furniture,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37produced in a limited quantity,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39and the architect who's designed it
0:11:39 > 0:11:43is no less than the great designer EW Godwin.
0:11:43 > 0:11:49Now, you might get lucky and find such a chair for £50-£100
0:11:49 > 0:11:51in an auction
0:11:51 > 0:11:54but if it's properly attributed to the architect designer,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58as this piece is, then the value leaps
0:11:58 > 0:12:02to the ticket price which the dealer has on this example,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04which is £750.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Oh! Great Godwin!
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Right, on with the show.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- How about that thermometer? - No. Don't like that.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13LAUGHTER
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Are you quite sure? - That was a definite no.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- They're pretty but... Don't you think?- I think they're horrible.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- I don't like that.- It's a Toby jug. It's what you like.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- It's not colourful enough. - It's not colourful enough. I hate it. I thought you might like it.- No.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Well, at least they agree on something.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35The Reds' lack of action is starting to take its toll.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- I'm feeling the pressure.- We have seen a few things we can go back to.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Everything's been £200 plus.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45If we'd bought any of the three objects we've seen so far, we'd need a loan
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and you're the guys to organise it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Do you want to go right down there? - Up that way.- Let's go this way.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- That way.- And then we'll go back up that one there. We started down here.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00I really like this. This is really, really, nice.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- It's got good novelty charm about it, hasn't it?- It has.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Something else we banned Sharon from looking at was matches
0:13:07 > 0:13:10but I see what you mean. It's quirky.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I just think that's really quite fun.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14What date would that be from?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's a difficult one to date, actually.
0:13:16 > 0:13:23The glaze suggests it's probably sort of early 20th century, 1920s.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27It's one of those things that you either love it or you hate it, really.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But what are your thoughts?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I feel mean because I know Sharon really likes it but I think it's gross.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- It's awful. - What's the condition of it like?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- It's lost the sheen off the top. - Not the most attractive cat
0:13:41 > 0:13:44but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- How much is it?- 28.- £28.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- I don't know, Sharon. - Have a think about it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- We'll come back.- Yes, it's another one for the think-about list.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56That list is getting rather long.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Time is ticking on and you've still got two items left to buy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02We need some compromise here, girls,
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and the Reds can't agree on anything, either.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09I should bang their heads together or smack them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That's quite nice. A nice figure group.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15They're having a good time, a good drink, probably,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19before going out to sea and to battle etc.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- Let's look at the condition. - There's some damage there.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25The trouble is with Staffordshire pottery,
0:14:25 > 0:14:30it was produced throughout the 19th century
0:14:30 > 0:14:33and this sort of painted decoration is quite prone
0:14:33 > 0:14:34to chipping and flaking.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40- So this is probably about 1860, so... How much is that?- 90.
0:14:40 > 0:14:4390. About right. That's, you know...
0:14:43 > 0:14:47What if we get it down a little bit? What would it make, do you think?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It depends on how flexible the stallholder is, really,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52but this sort of thing in a sale room,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56in our sale, we'd probably guide at £60-£80, that sort of price.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00So you can see at 90, you need to get it down somewhat.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- What do you think? - Shall we give it a go?
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- You look quite pensive.- Mm.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08I think... I don't know. If we got it down - not at £90.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Shall we see what the flexibility is?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- That will help us make up our minds.- Yeah.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Where's Dave?- He's down here.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Looks like he's made a new friend.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23What is the lowest you can go on that?
0:15:23 > 0:15:29The ultimate is 80. The death is going to be £80, honestly.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- It is an early piece, so...- Yeah. - ..it's worth that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37I think... I think it's borderline, really.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- You think it's borderline. - I'm conscious of the time, really.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Erm...- Could you do 70?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Yeah, go on, then. I'll take 70 for it.- OK.- You're a star.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- Thank you very much. Thank you. - All right.- Thank you.- £70.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- There we go.- That's great. OK, that's our second buy, then.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Brilliant. Don't drop it.- I won't.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Item number three, let's go. - Well done, girls!
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You finally put your differences aside for item number two.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08All the pressure's on the Reds.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22I am er... I don't know. 40 minutes and not buying...
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I've never been in this position before.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29I think with 10 minutes to go, I'm just going to say, "We're going to buy that, that and that."
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I despair.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Poor Jonathan.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35How's Henry getting on?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45They're absolutely fantastic.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49You know, they've got ideas about certain things
0:16:49 > 0:16:52and I think we're working quite well as a team.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Obviously I'm there to guide them
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and I think, yeah, we're gelling together as a team
0:16:57 > 0:17:01and one more item left - let's see how that fares.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- That's two items. - Shall we have quick scoot round and if we don't like anything,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- then maybe go back?- OK, let's go.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's a sort of Arts and Crafts thing, which is cool.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17The box is suggesting it's early 20th century.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I was looking at those. They're not hallmarked. Are they silver?
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- I think they're more likely to be silver plate.- Yeah.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- How much?- I've got a price tag of £95 on there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Yeah.- And you want to do a deal, don't you?- Well, it's an idea.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40To you, as you're such a nice man, he says...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- £80.- Ah!- Can you not do 70?
0:17:46 > 0:17:52- You know the music to Countdown? - Yeah.- That's what we need to get us going.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54HE SINGS
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- 70, I'll do.- 70.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Let's go back and look at the paintings, first. - We've seen them all.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Let's make a decision. - We'll go for those at 70.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03CLOCK TICKING
0:18:03 > 0:18:06'Could this be it? Their first buy.'
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You want to go for them, you go for them.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- £70?- £70.- That's a deal.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- # Hallelujah! Hallelujah! # Hallelujah! Hallelujah! # - 'Finally!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21'Jonathan has sorted them their first purchase.'
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Slight sigh of relief, there. Thank you very much.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27'Come on, Reds! No time to waste.'
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- We've got one object.- We've got to go with the watercolours.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33How about the racing thing?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Interesting, fun, parties, Cheshire, bit of sport about it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Go on, then. We need Dave.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44No, no, forget Dave. You're man enough to make a decision.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Shall we go for it?- Let's go for it. - Great!
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Divide and rule, eh, Jonathan? It's for their own good.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- Just bought the second object. - What have you bought?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- We've bought that.- Oh, I like that. I pointed that out.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- OK.- I thought, what the heck, let's make a decision.- What did you pay?
0:19:01 > 0:19:02- 140.- 140.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05The boys have caught up.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Now, both teams have just minutes to buy their third item.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Eight minutes. Eight minutes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14140... 210 spent. We've got 90 quid left.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So, two items, £200, seven minutes left...
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- We should go back. - The stirrup.- The stirrup.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Get them down to like 15 quid. If we can get it for 15, you know,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26if they make £40, it's a small profit but it's a profit.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- At least it's a profit. - Let's go.- It's this way.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31I hope it's still there.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Go on.- It's your turn.- We've only got seven minutes left.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I've got a good feeling about this. - I have, too.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I just hope it's still there. - I do, I do.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- If it's not, we're going back to the matchbox.- Not the cat!
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- Please not the cat!- No.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49What, this cat?
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Oh, it's still there.- Fantastic. Let's see what we can negotiate.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Best price?- What have we got on it? 28?- 28.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04We can go 25.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Go on, Sharon, you can do it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Go on. There's only seconds left.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10It's a good novelty. It's good money.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13The lady says 18.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- 22. Come on.- Oh, 20. - That's a good price.
0:20:17 > 0:20:1915 sounds better than 18.
0:20:19 > 0:20:2015?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Oh, thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Oh, all right, then.- Hooray!
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Is that a deal?- Yeah.- Are you sure? - CROWD CHEERING
0:20:31 > 0:20:32Yes!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- I can't wait now to see how much. - Have to wait for the auction.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- We've got to beat the Red team. - We've got to.- Fingers crossed.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Thank you very much. - Was that stressful?- Very stressful.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Time's up. The ref's blown his whistle
0:20:45 > 0:20:50and no doubt one team will already be grumbling about their performance.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Let's check out how the Reds got on.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Jonathan told the Reds to button it and buy these.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58They cost £70.
0:21:00 > 0:21:05At £140, the gaming wheel was a gamble in more ways than one.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Let's hope the buyers like quirky.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11And with time running out, the Reds went for the ceramic cat
0:21:11 > 0:21:14that the Blues had rejected for just £20.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- So, overall, how much did you spend? - £230.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- £230. I'd like £70 of leftover lolly, please.- There you go, sir. - Jolly good.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26It's like the tax man - get it with one hand and straightaway with the other.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28There you go, JP, and very, very, very good luck.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36£30 bought the Blues a brass page-turner
0:21:36 > 0:21:39but will Karen get the right turn at the auction?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Struggling to agree on anything,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45they were taken in by this Staffordshire figure group
0:21:45 > 0:21:47for £70.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50And lastly, the Blues ended up back where they started
0:21:50 > 0:21:53with the silver stirrup calendar.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55£15 paid. Giddy up.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Girls, you were a bit mean with your purchases, weren't you?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- I know. Just a tad.- You know.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- What did you spend?- £115. - Only £115. That is truly pathetic.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I know. I'm quite embarrassed, really.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I thought women were supposed to go out there and spend big time?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Well, we do like a bargain. - We like a bargain, don't we?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18£185 of leftover lolly, then, which is a fortune. There you go. £185.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- That's very generous of you.- You could buy half the fair with that.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26- We're excited to know exactly what he's going to spend it on, aren't we?- We are.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Jolly good. Anyway, see you at the auction.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Meanwhile, we're heading off down the road,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35literally walking down the road to the Walker Art Gallery, ooh-ah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Andrew Barclay Walker was a successful Liverpool brewer.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47He made a fortune selling beer, which paid for this gallery
0:22:47 > 0:22:50to be built in 1877.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54The temperance movement was at its height
0:22:54 > 0:22:57but I can see no evidence of self-restraint in here.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03It looks like nothing but sheer luxury and indulgence to me.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Look at this chap.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Lewis Pantin, the Huguenot silversmith, made this
0:23:09 > 0:23:17around 1744-5, when the rococo was at the height of its popularity.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Rococo forms are always asymmetric
0:23:20 > 0:23:24and they incorporate shell and rock forms,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29which is exactly what you have in the finial on the top of the cover
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and, of course, vines.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Symbolic for the purpose of the two-handled cup and cover
0:23:36 > 0:23:41because, strictly speaking, this utensil would be filled with wine
0:23:41 > 0:23:45and passed from person to person at a special function.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50What adds to the luxury and feel of this piece
0:23:50 > 0:23:53is, of course, the gold effect.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58In a way, silver gilt is a sort of con
0:23:58 > 0:24:01because your eye is teased into thinking
0:24:01 > 0:24:04that this thing is made of solid gold,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09which would make it 50 times more expensive to make at the time.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15Actually, of course, it's just a thin layer of gold
0:24:15 > 0:24:19laid on top of the silver, which gives this effect.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Indeed, if you look just inside the foot rim,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26136:14.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31That's 136 troy ounces and 14 pennyweights.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36Lewis Pantin would have scratched that weight onto the piece
0:24:36 > 0:24:38before sending it in to be hallmarked
0:24:38 > 0:24:41when they would have had to pay the duty.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44In short, it's a magnificent piece.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50Now, on either side, we seem to have some more silver gilt.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Well, that's what your eye would lead you to believe
0:24:54 > 0:24:58but actually, these two candelabra aren't made of silver at all.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03They're made of a base metal, brass or bronze,
0:25:03 > 0:25:11which were cast and constructed about 30 years after the making of the two-handled cup
0:25:11 > 0:25:14by Matthew Bolton in his manufactory
0:25:14 > 0:25:18in Soho on the outskirts of Birmingham.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22This technique is known in France as ormolu,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26the technique being that you would take real gold
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and mix it into a paste with mercury,
0:25:29 > 0:25:33apply that to the base metal and then apply heat.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38The mercury evaporates and the gold is left adhering to the surface.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40One big problem, though.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44If you happened to be the ormolu gilder,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48when the mercury is given off, it evaporates,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50it's in suspension in the air
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and if you inhale the mercury into your lungs,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56it doesn't do you a great deal of good.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58In fact, shortly thereafter, you're dead.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Of course, the big question today is,
0:26:00 > 0:26:05which one of our teams is going to be the winner of the gold cup
0:26:05 > 0:26:06over at the auction?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Now, this is the exciting bit, Bargain Hunters.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Will our teams make a profit on their items?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Let's find out.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Today, we're at Peter Wilson's sale room in Nantwich
0:26:21 > 0:26:23with the boss, Robert Stones.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Oh, my word. That makes me sound very important, Tim.- You are.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30You're very important to our teams, that's for a certainty.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Dave and Dave are looking to you, Robert, with great expectations
0:26:33 > 0:26:36on their sunflower buttons.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40- How do you rate those? - Well, I'd rate them highly if they were silver
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and sadly, I think they're base metal.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45There's no silver mark on them.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47They're in a very pleasing presentation case
0:26:47 > 0:26:50but everything stops there
0:26:50 > 0:26:54because they want to be silver, they should be silver to have any value.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Right. So how much, then? - We've said £15-£30 on those.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Oh, lordy. £70 paid.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Did they really? That's a lot. - Moving on quickly.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05How much is this game worth?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09Well, I tell you, I've spent an awful lot of time researching this.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I wish I could find out more about it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's French but I think there was a board that went with it
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- but I don't know any more about it. - No.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I'd love to know more about it because it's so well made
0:27:21 > 0:27:22and it looks good fun.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- So not easy to value, either.- No. - How much, do you think?- £50-£100.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- £140 paid. - Well, it was a fair old price.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- It's a fair old whack.- Mm.- Yes.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Now, how are you with black cats?
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Well, I have a theory, as so often I do on these occasions,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42that this was probably an advertising aid
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- for Black Cat cigarettes.- Right.
0:27:45 > 0:27:491904 was when Black Cat cigarettes were originally produced
0:27:49 > 0:27:51but they were then reinvented again
0:27:51 > 0:27:55following their demise during the Second World War.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57They were reinvented in 1957
0:27:57 > 0:27:59and I think that is probably an advertising aid
0:27:59 > 0:28:03to promote the reintroduction of Black Cat cigarettes.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08The fact that it's got the Austrian matches put on the dispenser there
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- is just...- Irrelevant. Just something that fitted.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- What's your estimate on the black cat?- Ten to 20.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Perfect. They paid £20.- Good.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18This team are in deep trouble.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22This team are not going to, according to the estimates,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24be anywhere near making a profit,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28so they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32You gave the man £70. What did he spend it on?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34OK, JP, show us your wares.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Oh, right.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41What we have here is a luggage rack made of aluminium,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- from the, I suppose... - Is it from a train? - ..first half of the 20th century,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- when aluminium was a fashionable metal.- OK.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52You've got a mirror to see yourself in, somewhere to put your hat
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and you can hang your coat and it's practical.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- So it's a nice interiors thing for a modern-day home.- Fantastic.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- How much did you pay for that? - OK, well...
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Erm, I paid the princely sum of £60 for it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10- OK.- This may be an easy decision for you.- It might be.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- How much do you think it'll make? - Oh, it's a speculative object.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19It might only make £10 or £20 but it might make £50 or £60.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- It's nice, it's nice.- You're warming to it.- It's a bit pricy but yeah.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- It has got style, hasn't it?- Yeah.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Anyway, your moment for a decision is later
0:29:28 > 0:29:31but for the audience, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:29:31 > 0:29:34about Jonathan's luggage rack.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Now, Robert, let's not get hung up on this.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- What do you think?- I don't quite know what to say about it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44It must have come off something commercial,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47probably a boat or a train or something of that kind.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- You think so? - Because it's lightweight.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53That's my theory. We've put an estimate of £20-£40 on it.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57Yes. The big problem is that Jonathan Pratt paid £60 for it.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Did he?- Yes, as a bonus buy.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Anyway, moving on. I'm going to put this lightweight roof rack here.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Lovely. Came off an Austin A40 by the look of it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Moving on, Karen and Sharon, Japanese page-turner.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Now we're back on track. - Yes, a piece of brassware, here.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17It's probably been brought back as a souvenir from Japan.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20It's got a pressed metal handle
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and the blade has got some sort of engraving on it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26It is decorative, we have to say that about it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29- OK. What do you think it's going to make?- 10 to 20.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31- £30 paid.- Right, OK.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Staffordshire figure, Auld Lang Syne.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Yes, well, the big thing about Staffordshire figures is their colour.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40They have to have plenty of colour about.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44This has got cobalt blue jackets, it's in good condition.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48There is a small firing crack on the base but it's in good nick.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51There was a time when this stuff was making a lot more
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- but for the collector, the opportunities have never been better.- Quite.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02- How much?- £30-£50.- Oh, Lord. £70. - Oh, really?- £70 paid for it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Next is the novelty desk calendar.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's quite nice to see one that's complete.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11They invested £15 in that. Did they invest wisely or not?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Well, we'd hope to take a profit on that. We've said £20-£40.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Have you?- Mm. - So they could double their money.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21But it may not be enough and they may need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:28Karen, Sharrie, you gave the boy £185. What did he spend it on?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Well, let me show you.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- What do you think to this? - Oh, I love it.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- I know. I thought you would. - I think that's brilliant.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- I tried to buy something that... - Karen's face!
0:31:40 > 0:31:45You mentioned that you like advertising items
0:31:45 > 0:31:48and we've got a great clock here. It's an electric advertising clock.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Obviously, "Brylcreem your hair."
0:31:51 > 0:31:54No reference to my hair but...
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Are you a user, Henry? - I do like gel, I have to confess.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02But, yeah, I think it's a smashing item.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04It's a good collectable item in today's society.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08It's a good retro piece and I think it stands a good chance.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11I just love it. How much did you pay for it?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- How much do you think I paid for it? - I don't know.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- £40.- A little bit more.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- 50.- 60.- 70.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22£70. But, I think, personally, as a youngster...
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- I'd have paid £70.- Exactly. - You'd have paid £170.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Well, there you go and that's your friend.- Yeah.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31You choose after the sale of your first three items
0:32:31 > 0:32:35but for the viewers, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:32:35 > 0:32:39about Slick Henry's hairdressing clock.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Well, there we go, Robert. That's amusing, isn't it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46I love it. It's a really good bit of memorabilia.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I can almost feel myself sitting in a barber's chair now
0:32:49 > 0:32:51and looking at this on the wall.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's a great piece. I really like it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58Absolutely genuine, too. None of this reproduction stuff.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- It's got its old electric motor. It probably wants rewiring.- Yeah.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- So how much?- We've been a bit mean. We've said £20-£40.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I think you have, too. £70 our 'Enery Meadows paid.- Yeah.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- Will he get away with it? - I think he could.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- If the team goes with the bonus buy?- We'll see how we get on.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Are you taking the sale? - I am indeed.- We're in safe hands.
0:33:20 > 0:33:2220 I'll take.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- How are you feeling? All right? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- At all nervous?- No. Confident. - Yeah.- You are nervous?- Yeah.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- What have you got to be nervous about?- They bought an item behind my back.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- Yeah.- So I'm panicking about that now.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37With five minutes to go, having not bought anything, it was justified.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Which item is it? - The roulette wheel.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- You don't care for it?- I like it but not the price.- Not the price.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48So you're going to blame both of your mates here if that goes wrong.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49We made an executive decision.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53First lot coming up, then, is your sunflower buttons and here they come.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Lot 92, ladies and gentlemen,
0:33:55 > 0:34:00the cased set of Continental buttons and don't those look terrific?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04What may we say? £20, for them, somebody. Worth every cent.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07£20 I'm bid. At 20. 25 is there now?
0:34:07 > 0:34:10At 20. The bid's there. 25 anywhere now, quickly?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13At £20. I'll even take 22 on this one if it helps.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- At £20.- It will help. - The bid's there. 22.
0:34:16 > 0:34:1925 is there now? 25, thank you. 28, now?
0:34:19 > 0:34:2028, yes. 30 now?
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- 30 bid.- He's milking this. - He is milking it.- £30.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- £30. 32? The bid's at 30. I'm going to sell them.- He's done well.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- At £32 on the internet. - Oh, there's 32 on the internet!
0:34:32 > 0:34:35At £32 on the internet. At £32 only on the internet.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Going to be sold for £32... 32.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- £32.- Good start.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- That's bad luck. 38, that would be. Minus £38.- It was on its way.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- That was Dave's that one.- Yes. - It was on its way, that.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Now, listen, you sportsmen, here comes the gaming wheel.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55£70 I'm bid straightaway. That's on commission. 75 now do I hear?

0:35:01 > 0:35:0395. 100, now, and five.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Minus £20.- Good object. - You are minus 58. That was so close, wasn't it?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- It was.- We've got to make it on the cat.- Here it comes.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42The matchbox stand. £20 I'm bid. £20. 25? I have it. 30 is there now?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00At £30. All finished and done? At £30. Going away, then.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01At £30, then.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05You're minus 48. What are you going to do about the TV aerial?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10- The TV aerial?- We're not going to go for that. No.- Or are we?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Are you?- Shall we toss a coin?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- It's up to you, mate. - Come on, let's put it in.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- Oh, go on, then.- Put it in.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Is that sensible? - Yeah, we'll go with it.- OK.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Are you absolutely certain you want to do this?- Go on, then.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Another executive decision.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27I mean, do you want to win the programme or not?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Er...- Yeah, we do. - We'll leave it, then.- All right.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- Do you not have this in the office? - We're not going for it.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- But you quite like it.- No! Get lost! - I like strange things.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- I like strange things.- Your strange things have lost us money.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Well, it's... It's a bit of a debate, isn't it?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Are we going to do it or not? - No, we're not.- No.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- You're not going for it. - We're not.- Are you sure?- Yes.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50We're not going for it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Listen, you, stop stirring it up. You're not doing it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- We're not going for it. - We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59My goodness, this has been a struggle.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02We're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05This terrific 1940s aluminium coat stand.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08How much will you say for it? 20 to start it, please.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11At £20. Only at £20. You should be queuing up for this.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Yes!- At £20 only. At £20 do I hear?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16At £20. It's all I'm asking. 20 anywhere now?

0:37:24 > 0:37:2725 now? At £20 only. Your last chance. At £20.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- I always had my doubts about this. - It's going to be sold. At £20.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- It's a good bargain for £20. I'd have got that for 20.- Minus 40.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38But you chaps made the right decision. Congratulations.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42You've ring-fenced your losses at minus £48.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- OK. That's not too bad.- And it could be a winning score.- You never know.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Don't say a word to the Blues.- OK. - Perfect.- Brilliant.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55So, girls, how are you feeling?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Quietly confident. - Quietly confident.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- No.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04- You don't know how the Reds got on? - No.- You have no idea. All right.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08That's good. First up is the Japanese page-turner and here it comes.
0:38:08 > 0:38:15Lot number 113. I'm going to start the bidding at £20.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Hooray!- £20, I'm bid. At 20. And five now do I hear?
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- 25 anywhere now? 25 bid, 30 with me. 35 now?- Red-hot object.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37He said £10 to £20, you make 35, so that's very nice.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42Plus £5. Now, let's hope you'll do as well with the Staffordshire.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Auld Lang Syne, lovely lot.

0:39:12 > 0:39:16£35. Bad luck, girls. That is minus £35.

0:39:23 > 0:39:2620 is there now? At 15. The bid's with me. I'm looking for 20.

0:39:42 > 0:39:43At £30 only, then, all done?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Plus £15. That's excellent,
0:39:45 > 0:39:49which means overall, you're minus £15 now.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- So that's not too bad at all. It could be a winning score. - It's not too bad.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Not too good, either.- Well, come on,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59it could have been worse, couldn't it?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Now, what about the Brylcreem sign?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- We've got to go for it. - We're going for it.- Really?- Yes.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Are you sure?- Yes.- Yes.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Are you sure you're sure?
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- A lot of pressure on me, now. - There's pressure on you, Henry.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13If we're going to bomb out, let's do it spectacularly.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16Minus £15 could be a winning score.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- No.- Do you want to go?- I think...
0:40:19 > 0:40:22What are you going to do? Are you going to go for it?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Yeah, let's go with the Brylcreem.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28It'll just be a long journey home if this gets hammered.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- Let's just go for it. - I'll never speak to you again.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33All right, then.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- This is for certain, is it, this? Yes.- Yes.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- Are you doing it?- Yes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Going for the Brylcreem? - Decision made.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44OK, then, Sharrie, be that up on your head, darling,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47because you're the most enthusiastic about it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- We are going with the Brylcreem sign.- Karen's about to crawl out.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54The auctioneer's estimate is £20-£40.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Oh, no!- I can only tell you that after you've decided.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Anyway, it ain't over till the fat lady sings
0:41:00 > 0:41:03or does her hair and here it comes.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09119, ladies and gentlemen, is this terrific clock.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Brylcreem - do you remember that? Brylcreem.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15I wish I could use it but there we go.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16LAUGHTER
0:41:16 > 0:41:19£20 I'm bid straightaway for it and it's great value for money. 25.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2230 on commission. 35 now?
0:41:22 > 0:41:2535. Now the door's wide open. 35, the bid's there.
