0:00:06 > 0:00:10Today, two teams of good friends go head-to-head
0:00:10 > 0:00:12in the ultimate game of bagging bargains.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15No doubt there will be lots of twists and turns,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18so let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Today we're at the Devon County Showground
0:00:46 > 0:00:50where there's a vast assortment of antiques and collectables.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But here is a snippet of what's coming up.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The reds employ desperate tactics.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00You wouldn't take 50? No. Not 52? No, 55.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Not 52 and a half? No, 55.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Not even if... No, you're trying. Not even if I did a tap dance?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11To match, the blues go all-out for a bargain.
0:01:11 > 0:01:1332? No, 35.
0:01:13 > 0:01:1633? 35.
0:01:16 > 0:01:1834? 35!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23But will all that effort produce a profit at auction?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28But that's all still to come. First, let me remind you of the rules.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:01:32 > 0:01:34which they sell later at auction.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38The team that wins is the team that makes the most profit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Let's meet the teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46On Bargain Hunt today we have two teams of friends.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48For the reds, Gerry and Keith.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52And for the blues, Emma and Soph. Hi, guys. Hello!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Lovely to see you. Gerry, how did you two become friends?
0:01:55 > 0:02:00We met 11 years ago. I was in a band and we needed a drummer.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05And Keith fitted the bill, so to speak.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We've been friends ever since.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09We're not in the band any more, but we remained friends.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Do you still like to sing? I love to. That's what I do for a job.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I sing all the time. What do you like to sing?
0:02:16 > 0:02:23Anything from Nat King Cole, ZZ Top and, of course, Adele. Very popular.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28You're also a world record holder? I was. Don't be modest!
0:02:28 > 0:02:32A long time ago, five years ago, a group of 12 of us
0:02:32 > 0:02:37did a VersaClimber challenge over a 24-hour period.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41We climbed 210,886 feet in 24 hours.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45But it was beaten, so I'm not a world record holder any more.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49So are you going up a wall, then, rather than Mount Everest?
0:02:49 > 0:02:54It's a piece of equipment which is a long pole and you've got two pedals.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And two handles.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And you get on and you go... Thank you!
0:03:00 > 0:03:06We go like that. You don't actually go anywhere, you keep... You stay where you are but make an elevation.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And you go as fast as you can and as far as you can.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You must be terribly fit? I was.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17I've put on a few pounds since then! I don't know. Looks OK to me!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Keith, you're quite a serious music fan, then?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24A professional. A professional session drummer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27This is my 45th year. I started when I was 15 and I'm 60 now.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32Gosh. And it's inspired a collecting hobby for you, too.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yes, I've got a collection of 14 drum kits.
0:03:35 > 0:03:41Are you looking forward to today? Yes, it'll be a good competition. We'll have a good time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We look forward to the results. Good luck with that.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Now, girls.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Emma, what do you do for a living? Weekdays I work in a fashion shop.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53On Saturdays I work in a BMX and skateboarding shop.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Can you do this BMX biking yourself? No!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What about skateboarding? No.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05This is going rather well! How did your interest in antiques come about?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10When me and my twin sister were young, about six or seven,
0:04:10 > 0:04:16my grandma and granddad used to hide the coins granddad collected under various rugs in the house.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21We used to go with a metal detector and find them! Really? What fun! Yes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24It became a bit tedious for my grandparents, though!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27You wanted to do it every ten minutes!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Finding cash. Soph, what do you do for a living?
0:04:30 > 0:04:36I've just graduated from university. I currently work in an after-school club.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Tell me about your middle name. My made-up middle name!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43When I was in school, I was jealous because all my friends had middle names.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48So lied and said it was Apricot and my granddad was an apricot farmer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Then the name stuck since. I've just kept it.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Are you Sophie Apricot or Apricot Sophie? Sophie Apricot.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59Do you ever get Apricot on its own? No. It's a nice name. It's cute.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Sophie, how do you think you'll get on today?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I don't know. What we don't have in knowledge, we might make up in enthusiasm!
0:05:06 > 0:05:09That's a very good answer. Thank you.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Anyway,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13the money moment. £300 apiece. There. You know the rules.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Your experts await. Off you go, and very, very good luck!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Hmm. Timothy Apricot Wonnacott.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Doesn't really do it, does it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Escorting our bargain hunters today,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32distinguished expert Philip Serrell with the reds.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36And sassy Catherine Southon will guide the blues.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Let's see how they get on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46OK, girls, this is it. £300, one hour.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Sorry, I can't stop laughing!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Tell you what, the best plan is to have no plan.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Open mind. We're with you on that one. I've got an open mind.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It's got nothing in it! I'm with you all the way there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01One hour, £300.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Three things to buy. Are you excited? Yes, very.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Do you know what you're going to buy? Something odd. Something odd.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10OK.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Right. Let's get started. I think we should go that way. OK.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19So, two bubbly blondes versus a rock drummer and a record breaker.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Who would you put your money on?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Ah. Phil Serrell's spotted some of his favourite porcelain.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Billy Powell was the best Worcester painter of birds.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41He was fantastic. There was a Walter Powell and a Billy Powell.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Both signed their works W.Powell. No-one's sure which is which.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49If that came into my sale room, I'd put 80 to £120 as an estimate on it.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54So in my eyes, you'd need to buy that for around the £80 mark
0:06:54 > 0:06:56to show you a cast-iron profit.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I think that's lovely. Do you like it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I can tell from the forest of enthusiasm behind me
0:07:02 > 0:07:07that it's time to swiftly walk on. I don't like it. It's beautifully made.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I can take rejection. Honestly... I can take it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12No, I'm not attracted to that at all.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Sorry. There are some things you can't hide from the camera.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'll see you later. Thank you very much. Sorry. It's a no deal!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I'd say... I love that dog! Which dog? I love that dog.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Which dog? That dog! It's so cute!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Let's see how much it is.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41What date is the dog?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Sweetest thing you've ever seen.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I think that's nice. Oh. The horse.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Does that say £1,900? No, no, that's the date!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Oh! That's the date! Right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:531900, dear!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58A-hem! Important not to confuse dates and prices, dearie!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02145. Do you love it, Soph? I don't love it... OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05I think that's quite dinky. But it's a lot of money at 145.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It would need to be about 60. Yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11No, I don't think we can haggle that much.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13I like that. Is it 1,400?
0:08:13 > 0:08:19A child's rustic wooden toy priced at £1,900. That would be worth seeing!
0:08:24 > 0:08:27These little Vesta cases have come up massively in value.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Silver, five years ago, was three quid an ounce.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Scrap silver is now like £20-odd an ounce.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38So all of a sudden, things like this that used to be 20 quid are now 60 and £70.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42These are lovely. That's not overly dear. Personally,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I'd leave that alone for auction. Right. There we go.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You've been told, Keith. I've been told.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Any of those that you really like?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51I really like that one.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I really like that. Quite novel.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's different, it's smart. It would appeal to more people.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I think that really is... You say it's 1906? Yep.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It's a continental piece of silver and it's priced at how much?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08We've got 125 on it. Can we get it under 100?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11We could do 105.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Would you put that by for us for an hour, if we come back? We can.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The lady's nodding. Can't guarantee we'll buy it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Thank you very much. We've got to be fair. See you later on.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Come on. Let's go.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Come on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34Now, can Sophie and Emma find something to appeal?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I like this. Can you see that?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Owls are my favourite things in the whole world!
0:09:39 > 0:09:43We're looking out for owls. I love them. Why do you love owls? They're cute.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48What do you think about the object? It's a tape measure, so you pull it out.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah. I like his eyes.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's really cute. How much?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I love the feather detail. Yeah. Very pretty.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56I love the feather detail. Yeah. Very pretty.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59What would be your lowest on this, please?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Do cute owl eyes!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05"Try your cute owl eyes"?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08It would be 35.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Oh. I don't think so.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Could we come back? You can do anything you like.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Would that be OK if we have a potter around?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Thank you. I do really like it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Shall we head down there? Definitely.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32OK. Both sides have something to think about.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33But I've been browsing, too.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41No Bargain Hunt would be complete without the discovery of a spectacular little box. Like this.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Don't you think that's beautiful? And very unusual.
0:10:45 > 0:10:51This thing, basically, is made out of a South Sea island shell.
0:10:51 > 0:10:58Now, I'm no conchologist and can't identify precisely which shell this is.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03But originally, its outer surface would have been smooth
0:11:03 > 0:11:06and it would have had lots of brown and pink flecks.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09A bit like a tiger shell.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Except the box maker that made this
0:11:12 > 0:11:14has very carefully and cunningly
0:11:14 > 0:11:19cut the surface with a series of vertical cuts
0:11:19 > 0:11:23making this radiating series of bands
0:11:23 > 0:11:25which rise from the bottom.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Indeed, if I open it up, you can see the smooth shell inside
0:11:29 > 0:11:31and it's even more shiny.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34But it's when you come to the foot rim
0:11:34 > 0:11:36that you see something really unusual.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Instead of that being a solid piece of silver,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42the silversmith has pierced this with an arabesque,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46a complicated series of piercings
0:11:46 > 0:11:49which go to make up meandering foliage.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's very unusual.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52So when does it date from?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56At earliest, it might be about 1840 or so. What's it worth?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Well, here in the fair, it could be yours for £40.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04What might it make elsewhere,
0:12:04 > 0:12:07properly identified and decently catalogued?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Well, shall we say about 400?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Now, can our teams find something with equal potential?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Is it an ashtray? No, it's not. This is quite cool, actually.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It's a nutcracker. Oh!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It's in the form of a ship's wheel.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31This is not the sort of thing you'd normally go for.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I think we've realised maybe cute but functional as well.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Like the tape measure wasn't just an ornament.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Problem is, I'm not sure it's of the highest quality.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Seeing that owl tape measure,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I'm not going to like anything else as much!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Oh, I'm sure you will, Emma. Keep at it, girl.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I love this stuff. It's absolutely fantastic.
0:12:59 > 0:13:05I think it's a sure-fire way to lose money at auction! Yes, I'm not keen.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I think you could spend 150 quid on something here
0:13:08 > 0:13:11and you could lose serious money.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's about cutting down the risks, this bargain hunting.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17We've got to cut down the risks. Yeah.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19So I think we should move on a bit.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23I love this here, Brian Wilshire. That's nice. Yes.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28I sold some Brian Wilshire not long ago and got between 300 and £600 for it. Really?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It's different. Well, it is.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35To be truthful, when it first came in, I thought it was somebody's A level project!
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Emma and Sophie have come back to something that could measure up.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I think we're going to have the owl.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Shake the chap's hand. What did you say? 30? 32.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Are you happy with that? Yes, I really like it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:5532? That's fine. Thank you.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, finally, the blues are off the mark.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02But will their owl tape measure fly at auction?
0:14:06 > 0:14:11The reds have bought nothing. Phil, you have to get them up to speed!
0:14:11 > 0:14:17I think we need to have a bit of a plan and walk a bit quicker! OK! My legs are old!
0:14:18 > 0:14:23Three-quarters of the shopping time has gone and only a single purchase so far.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28But the girls have their eyes on a fancy pen and letter opener.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32What do you think of that? I like it. It doesn't excite me. No.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35It's nice quality and in the original case.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I'm just thinking about the time.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39What's your best price on that one?
0:14:39 > 0:14:4190?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47It looks continental, so probably French.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49This is silver.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And ivory.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53And enamel.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57The thing I would say is there's quite a bit of wear. Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02But it's just unusual to have a nice set like that. I do like it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06We've got 15 minutes and... Yeah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09We'll go with it? Can we shake your hand and say yes to 90?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Oh, she's going for it. I'm worried about the time.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Do you not want to? It's entirely up to you. It's your call.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19You're passing the blame! What do you think, Emma?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Can we just think about it for two minutes? Yes.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25We can think about it for two minutes, at £90.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28OK. Is that all right? Thank you. But we need to hurry up.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Like you said, the condition.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Yes, blues, you DO need to hurry up!
0:15:32 > 0:15:37But that's nothing compared to the reds. After 50 minutes, they have nothing to show for it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44I think this fantastic.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48This is from the time of the Napoleonic Wars. It's made from straw on wood.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You can see the design of it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57This is a French prisoner of war straw-work box.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00It's got there somewhere between 1790 and 1815.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Now, I spoke with the man earlier.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07His ticket price is £75. Yes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10The best price he'll do it for is £60.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11What do you think? Um...
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I can feel enthusiasm waving over me! I like it. Yeah.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18You like it? I like it because of the history.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I like this one, actually, Phil. You like that one.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24OK. I can sense a solution coming on here.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30You like this one? Why? It's the inlay and just the feel of it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33You prefer this? Yes. This one is priced at £75.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38That's the ticket price. He may give you a bit off. You can buy both. See who's right!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Oh, no! Oh, yes!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah! Oh, no! Yeah. Thank you, Phil.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Basically, Gerry loves this. Keith loves this.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53So I suggested if they buy both, they can see who's right and who's wrong.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57He needs to talk to you on ticket price. I'm out of this.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59VENDOR: It's got 75 on it, but I'LL do it for 55.
0:16:59 > 0:17:0155. My very best on that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You wouldn't take 50? No. Not 52?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06No. 55. Not even 52 and a half?
0:17:06 > 0:17:07No, 55.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Not even if... No, you're trying, Keith.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Not even if I did a tap dance? I hate tap dance! And your best price on this one was?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17That one's 60. 60. I just wanted to test you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20If you buy both, I'll take an extra fiver off.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23So I've got mine to 55. Then it's a totally even battle.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27We'll make a deal there. OK. Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30So suddenly the reds have two items.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34And have set up a mini contest between themselves.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37We're going to get the pen. OK. Go and get the pen.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40While the blues run back for the pen set.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45My very best on this is £90.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I can't do any less than that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52OK. We will buy it, yes? Yeah. 90. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Are you happy? Yeah. Good. Happy? Yes.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02We've still got one more thing to buy, ladies. We've got to run off.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Only minutes left, and Gerry's doing a sprint finish!
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Hello. Hello.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Hello. You haven't sold that silver match stick holder?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I'd like to buy it from you if I may, please.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21No, we haven't. Good. I'm out of breath now!
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Brilliant. OK. Well, could I have it please? The price was?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28105. OK. We'll shake on that.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Yes. Thank you very much. We'll wrap it for you. Thanks.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well done, reds. Home and dry.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36But look at the blues.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39No time to dither, girls!
0:18:40 > 0:18:46We are looking for our last piece. We want the most beautiful piece of silver at a beautiful price.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Spoons? Enamelled spoons?
0:18:49 > 0:18:54I like them. Can they be really especially cheap?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Please? Please.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Please, please, please?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00We've got 85. Birmingham. 1919.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Blues. Yes. Blue for the blue team.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yes, in a little presentation case.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10The thing is these aren't the easiest things to sell
0:19:10 > 0:19:14unless this lovely chap will give us a reasonable price on them.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19The condition is very good. Yes. I can do the very best at £45.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Could you do 30? Please? Please?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Say please, breeze.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Can we agree on 35?
0:19:27 > 0:19:3032. No, 35.
0:19:30 > 0:19:3233. 35.
0:19:32 > 0:19:3434. 35.
0:19:34 > 0:19:3635 it is.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Are you happy? I have to be. You tried hard.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Yeah, that's fine. We haven't got any time anyway, so yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I'm not worried. Happy? Yeah. Happy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Happy. As long as we're happy.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54So, in the nick of time, the blues agreed on their third purchase.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Phew!
0:19:57 > 0:20:01Right, that's it. No more time left to shop.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04But before we give the experts the leftover lolly,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07let's check out what the red team have bought.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Gerry sang the praises of a prisoner of war straw-work box at £55.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Keith drummed up enthusiasm for a marquetry box at the same price.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And the reds sprinted home with a silver box shaped like a shirt
0:20:23 > 0:20:26at 105. Let's hope they don't lose theirs!
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Has that reached resolution with those boxes? Who's going to win?
0:20:30 > 0:20:36I'll definitely win. I'll win, Phil. No, I've got history in mine. No, but...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Is there an argument here? Mine's bigger! I beg your pardon?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Listen, how much did you spend all round?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46£215. 215. Who's got the £85?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I have. £85. Thank you very much, Keith.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Which is your favourite piece? I like the silver match holder.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Do you? Yes. And you, Gerry? Same. I really like that. What are you arguing about?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The boxes, Tim. It's the size of them. I want to win.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06And yours is bigger. It is. I see. OK.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09But mine is older. Yours is older. More history.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13So you think yours will bring a profit. I hope so. We'll see.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16We will. That's the lovely thing about going to auction.
0:21:16 > 0:21:22I'm keeping well away from the boxing match. Very sensible. Spend your £85 wisely!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Good luck. Meanwhile, let's check out what the blue team bought.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Emma pulled out a 1930s tape measure
0:21:28 > 0:21:31with owl eyes for £32.
0:21:33 > 0:21:39Sophie drew up a 1920s cased French pen and paper-knife set for £90.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43And the girls completed their trio with six silver teaspoons
0:21:43 > 0:21:45that cost them 35.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Emma and Sophie, are you happy, girls? Yes. A bit frantic.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I mean three beauties all together. Amazing, isn't it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:57 > 0:22:02The owl tape measure. Do you agree, Sophie? Yes, it's cute and weird.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Will it bring the biggest profit? I don't think so, but maybe.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Life's like that, isn't it? Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10How much did you spend all round?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13£157. 157.
0:22:13 > 0:22:19Then I would like, please, £143 of leftover lolly.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Thank you. There you go, Catherine. What are you going to spend it on?
0:22:22 > 0:22:27I'm going to buy something beautiful and stylish like these lovely ladies.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Ooh, you're such a one, you are!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Anyway, good luck. Good luck, girls.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Do you know, I feel a bit of a castle coming on!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Sherborne Castle, actually.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44It was built originally by Sir Walter Raleigh in the late 16th century.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49It houses an assortment of treasures and some breathtaking furniture
0:22:49 > 0:22:52including pieces created from a fascinating catalogue,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54a craftsman's bible.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02By the middle of the 18th century, the firm Ince and Mayhew
0:23:02 > 0:23:06were set to rival the great Thomas Chippendale.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12Because in 1762, they brought out their own design book
0:23:12 > 0:23:18and here we've got an original 1762 edition of that.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23It was called The Universal System of Household Furniture.
0:23:23 > 0:23:29Look how beautifully a firm like Ince and Mayhew went about advertising their wares.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34If I flip through the design book itself, you can see
0:23:34 > 0:23:38the sheer variety of these 300 designs.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44All manner of objects could be produced by Ince and Mayhew themselves
0:23:44 > 0:23:47or, if you were an aristocratic property owner,
0:23:47 > 0:23:52and you fancied one of these pieces and didn't want to use Ince and Mayhew,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56you'd simply buy the design book and give it to your local cabinet maker
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and say, "Make me one like this."
0:23:59 > 0:24:01If I flip to this particular page,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06there's a piece of furniture that's of particular interest to us today at Sherborne Castle.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10What we have here is a ladies' dressing table,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14two varieties of that type of dressing table.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18They each have a hinged folding top
0:24:18 > 0:24:22and the one on the right has a rising rectangular mirror.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Just take a look at that a bit closer.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Yes, you're right, we have got in the house
0:24:33 > 0:24:37the almost matching ladies' dressing table.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42I say almost matching, because there are a few differences
0:24:42 > 0:24:44from Ince and Mayhew's drawing.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49This one doesn't have the fancy decoration on the legs
0:24:49 > 0:24:51that the drawing book shows.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Nor has it got the elaborate pierced gallery
0:24:55 > 0:24:58going around the platform.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02But it has got identical rectangular hinged flaps.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06It has got the fitted pigeon holes and compartments
0:25:06 > 0:25:10that ladies would have used for their powder and rouge.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And it has got, of course, the all-important hinged central mirror,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17so vital to a dressing table.
0:25:17 > 0:25:24What I love is the way that these hinged sides neatly fold in together
0:25:24 > 0:25:28to give you a useful rectangular work surface as well.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32But how do you tell in a market or sale room
0:25:32 > 0:25:36that you've come across a piece of Ince and Mayhew furniture
0:25:36 > 0:25:40if you haven't actually got the drawing book with you?
0:25:40 > 0:25:44Well, there are some signature elements to Ince and Mayhew.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49Apart from the normally very high quality to the cabinet work itself,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53it's the veneered surfaces which are important.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56If you look at this veneered frieze running round the outside,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59you see it's got all this vertical grain,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01almost in sticks,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03which is a bit odd-ball.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06It's repeated again in the top.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10And the timber that Ince and Mayhew seemed to favour
0:26:10 > 0:26:12is yew wood.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The big question today is, over at the auction,
0:26:15 > 0:26:20rather than Ince and Mayhew, is it going to be instant mayhem?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I'm looking forward to today's auction, bargain hunters.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32But first, let's get the auctioneer's opinion on our teams' lots.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34At 120 it is. Do I see 130 anywhere?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37At £120. All done.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42We've trotted from Exeter in Devon to Bridgwater in Somerset,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46to be at Tamlyn's Auction House with Claire Rawle. Good morning!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Good morning! Lovely to see you. First up,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53a novelty silver box cast with a shirt,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56apparently from 1906.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58But unfortunately from 1965!
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It's not 1906? No, it's got a modern mark on it.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Oh. Hmm. What's it, as a reproduction, worth?
0:27:06 > 0:27:0930 to £40. Uh-oh! It's quite heavy. Yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Quite decorative. Yes. But no age.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13But not £105?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15No. No. No. Right.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21That's not so good. What about the Napoleonic straw work box and cover?
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Well, it's lost its colour. It's a fairly standard design. Nothing very unusual on it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29When they're in good nick,
0:27:29 > 0:27:34all those straws are coloured very brightly. Wonderful colours.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Greens and reds, and all the different yellows and oranges.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41They did the most intricate designs on them, beautiful designs.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45That's a more standard vase of flowers. Oh, dear!
0:27:45 > 0:27:48How much for that? 30 to 50. Not too bad.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51They paid 55. Oh, well. Not bad. Getting closer!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Now, this is rather a magnificent little box, isn't it?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58It's very attractive. It's beautifully worked. I like it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04But the only problem I felt was if you look at the lid rather carefully,
0:28:04 > 0:28:08it looks as if somebody's been drawing on top of it. It's gouged.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Yes, it's got quite deep marks in it.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I think it will put people off. It put me off. What a pity!
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Otherwise, it's very fine. How much? 20 to 40.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21OK. £55 paid. Overall,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23what with the silver box and all,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26they'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Now, Gerry, Keith. Are you looking forward to this? Yes, Tim.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37If you had a guess, just looking at that rag, what P.Serrell spent your £85 on?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40He's such a tease, Philip. Here it comes. Here we go.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Yes.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Bet you didn't guess it was that! No. I think it's really nice.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's very nice. It is. Very nice. What is it?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50"It's nice, but what is it?"!
0:28:50 > 0:28:52What is it? I love that, Gerry.
0:28:52 > 0:28:58It's a little 19th-century gilt figure of, the guy said, the harbourmaster or postmaster.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00He's a nice little figure.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04It was only 14 quid. £14. £14. It's got a bit of weight. Is it heavy?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Got a bit of weight, there. Has it got a hole on its bottom?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Yes, it has got a hole. What did it do? Where's it come from?
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Has it been stuck on something?
0:29:14 > 0:29:17How long have we got?
0:29:17 > 0:29:22She's quite full-on, isn't she? But there is a hole. I've no idea what it's off or where it's from.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25But I thought it was really sweet. I do like it. Good.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28He's very smart. I'm not overly fond of it. You're not?
0:29:28 > 0:29:34But we've been against each other all the time so it's no surprise that you don't like it and I do!
0:29:34 > 0:29:36One out of two is a result! I do.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Thank you. Well, you've heard the prediction.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44For you at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about it.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Isn't that nicely cast?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50It's actually very decorative and got some good colouring to it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55I think it might be more commercial if it was a pretty lady. Yes.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I see your point there.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Could be sort of 1830s, 1840s, couldn't it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Yes, I think it has got age to it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:09Fortunately, it hasn't been polished or stripped. It's still got all its natural colours.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11How much? 15 to 25.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15OK. That cunning monkey Philip Serrell only paid £14, so that's good. Now,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:30:18 > 0:30:23Their first item is the tape measure that has the look of Woolworths about it, to me!
0:30:23 > 0:30:27It is a little cheaply made. But it has got an owl on it!
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Owls are quite popular. That's a saving grace.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33And it's a tape measure, a collectable item.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But no great quality in the making of it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37How much?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Ten to 20. £32. OK.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Emma loved it. She'll have to dream up an excuse if it only makes a fiver!
0:30:44 > 0:30:49OK. Next is the lilac enamelled pen set.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52It's a very attractive item.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55It would have been more attractive had it not been damaged.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Unfortunately, the enamel on the paper knife... That front edge.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Yes, quite a bit of damage to it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04And there isn't a lot you can do about that. OK.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06The pen's nice, though.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Is the pen worth £90 on its own? No. No.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11What do you think the combo's worth?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Thirty to fifty. OK. Well, they paid 90.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So that could be a bit nasty.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19And the six spoons.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Their saving grace is they've got some enamel on them.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Yes, they have, but unfortunately, same thing applies,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31there is damage to those as well. I thought at first the enamel was graded in colour.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35But if you look closer to the bowl of the spoon, the enamel's come out.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38What are they worth? £35 to 50.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41OK. 35 to 50 is a nice estimate
0:31:41 > 0:31:44because they only paid £35.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46So that's our only ray of hope, really.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51But whether it's enough to help them out on the pen set is another matter.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53So let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:31:54 > 0:32:00Now, Soph, Emms, you gave the girl £143 of leftover lolly.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02What has she blown it on? Catherine?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Well, I have bought you two girls...
0:32:05 > 0:32:07..an hors d'oeuvres dish.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Wow. What is it?
0:32:09 > 0:32:13An hors d'oeuvres dish for putting your nuts and bits in. It's sweet.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15It is quite sweet. It's pretty.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Have a feel. And it's rather nice quality.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20It's chrome, frosted-glass, Bakelite.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I like it. Yeah. How much did you spend?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Ooh, about a hundred and...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28£17, I spent, in total.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31£117?! £17 in total.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33£17.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Are all these bits of glass in good nick? Absolutely.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39All individual dishes. Look at that.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Look at them. Love them. I think they're beautiful.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Like it, Emma? I really like it. I like it.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47You don't love it! I don't LOVE it.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49You don't love it? No. You don't.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51I... But, yeah.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56You feel that. That's beautifully made. It's glass. None of this plastic nonsense.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00What sort of period are we talking? Are we talking 1930s, Catherine?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I would say so. 1930s.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05For £17, I think that is a bargain.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08That should definitely make a profit.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12OK. Happy, girls? Yes, very. Any other information you'd like?
0:33:12 > 0:33:16How much do you think it'll make? Hopefully. You're putting me on the spot!
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Good for you. Good for you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Profit-wise, it should make £10.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24OK. We trust you. Do you?
0:33:26 > 0:33:32So sweet! For the audience at home, let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's Deco dish.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Would you like a little nut?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Oh, that's terribly kind of you!
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Not at all. Or a gherkin or a pickled onion?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42That's all there, isn't it? Yes. Yes, indeed.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46Very useful if you wanted to put out your hors d'oeuvres.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I don't think it's seen a lot of use.
0:33:48 > 0:33:54It's the only thing that might deter people from buying it. I'm not sure people would use them.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58Oh, right. You could put it on your desk with paper clips in!
0:33:58 > 0:34:01You could. In between eating your nuts! You could.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06I don't know. It's got some style to it anyway. I like the Deco feel to it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Do you reckon it'll sell all right?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I did put five to ten on it. How much?
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Five to ten. Is that all? Yes, I was a bit mean with it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15You might have been a bit mean with that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Catherine paid £17 and she really rates it. Yeah.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24It might make 20 or 30. Yes, it might catch someone's eye.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Yes, let's hope so.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Indeed. Yes, indeed!
0:34:36 > 0:34:39So, Gerry, Keith. Excited?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Yes. Look at it. Crowded out, this room.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44It's got a lovely buzz. It's nice.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46Are you nervous at all, Keith? No.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Good. You, Gerry? I know we've done well.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51You're going to do well. Yeah. Lovely.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55What about you, Gerry? I'm excited, but I'm a little worried.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Are you? Worried, Philip. Anything you're particularly worried about?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'm worried that my box won't make more than Keith's box.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06If his box makes more than mine, I'll never hear the end of it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10I'm more bullish, to be frank, about your box than yours, Gerry.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Thank you, Tim! But we do have a problem with the match case.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19£105. Because she's found the hallmark isn't 1906, it's 1965.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Anyway, her estimate is 30 to £40.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26The first lot up is that silver box, and here it comes.
0:35:26 > 0:35:32Lot 138 is this little silver hinged box in the form of a shirt.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34There we are. Import marks on it. Lot 138.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36And I start straight in.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40I have got £40 on it. At £40. Do I see five anywhere?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Bid's with me at 40. At £40. Now five.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4545. £50. Now five?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47No. At 50, the bid's with me.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51At £50, then. All done? Selling here with me at £50.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53£50. Minus 55.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Ouch! Now, here comes the straw-work box.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01Lot 139 is the Napoleonic prisoner of war straw-work box.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Straw box. Start me away this time. What can I say?
0:36:05 > 0:36:06£20 anywhere for it, please.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Napoleonic box. £20.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11All the straw-work. £20?
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Nobody?
0:36:12 > 0:36:17£10, then. Ten I have here. At £10. Do I see 12 anywhere?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Bid's at ten. At £10.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2012.
0:36:20 > 0:36:2215. 18. 20.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23No?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27Are you sure? At £20. At 20 here, then.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28At £20. Now two.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30At £20 it's going to sell.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Are you all done? Selling then at 20.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Bad luck, sweet pea. Minus £35.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Lot 140 is this very decorative continental marquetry box.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Lot 140. Start me away this time at £20, please.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45£20. Nice marquetry box. £20?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48£20? Anyone, £20?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49Thank you. 20 I have.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52At £20. Jokesville! £20. Five anywhere?
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Bid's there at 20. At £20. Now five.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58At £20 it is, then. All done? It's going to a maiden bid of £20.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Both exactly the same!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Minus 35! Well, it's fair.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06There's no shame. You're not walking.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Nobody is carping on in the car with you lot! No.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12An identical score on your boxes. Brilliant for that.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17Just sadly it's a minus number. So that's 70. That means minus 125.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21What are you going to do, pray, about the bonus buy?
0:37:21 > 0:37:24£14 bonus buy. I don't think we've got any option. No.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Thanks, Philip, we'll go with this.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31I doubt it'll make 120 quid or whatever it is! Thank you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You're going with it. I don't blame you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Have a punt. You're a great team. Here's Phil's standing figure.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Lot 144. This mid-19th century cast and gilded figure.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Possibly of a harbourmaster or postmaster.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48A bearded gentleman in a tail coat.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51What can I say for this one, then? £10 anywhere?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Ten I have. At £10. At ten.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57£10 it is. Do I see 12 now anywhere?
0:37:57 > 0:37:5812. 15.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01No. Took 15 in the alcove. At £15.
0:38:01 > 0:38:0318 anywhere?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06At 15 it's going to be. All done. Selling at 15.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08All done. Wa-hey! Woo!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Plus one pound. That's great.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15Which reduces the overall problem to £124.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17I'm going to give up, I think.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21I feel like George Osborne trying to reduce the deficit here!
0:38:21 > 0:38:23But there we go.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25£125. Equals minus 124.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28All right? Which could be a winning score.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, girls, have you been chatting to the reds?
0:38:38 > 0:38:41No. So you don't know how well they've done? No.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Or how badly they've done! OK. Hopefully!
0:38:44 > 0:38:48So first up is the owl tape measure. Here it comes.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51160 is the little tape measure.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54With the face of an owl on one side. Lot 160.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56I have to start this one at £20.
0:38:56 > 0:38:5920. 22. 25.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0228. In the alcove at 28. 30, anywhere?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04At £28 it is, then. At 28.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07All sure? Selling, then, at £28.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09To-wit, to-woo!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12That's minus £4.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15That's not so bad. Better than we thought!
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Lot 161.
0:39:17 > 0:39:23The little cased lilac enamelled paper-knife and matching pencil.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Lot 161.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28And I start this one away. I've got £55. At 55.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Do I see 60 in the room? The bid's with me at 55.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Oh, no. At 55. 55 it's going to be, then.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37All sure in the room? It's going to my bidder at £55.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41I don't believe it. £55. That is just terrible.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4355. Such a shame! So it's minus 35.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45OK. Now the teaspoons.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Lot 162. The set of six silver teaspoons in a case.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Birmingham 1919.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Start me away this time, please.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58£20 anywhere for the teaspoons? 20 I have. At £20.
0:39:58 > 0:40:0222. 25. 28. 30.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0332. No.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Back of the room at £32. At 32. Now five anywhere?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09All done. Selling then at 32. So close!
0:40:09 > 0:40:13At £32. You're minus three pounds on that.
0:40:13 > 0:40:1738 and four is 42. Minus 42.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21That's just the pits. I could burst into tears. But let's not cry.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Let's decide whether to go with the bonus buy or not. Yes. Yeah.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26You're going to do it for £17.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29That's a decision. Yeah. OK, fine.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30I think it's a brilliant dish.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33I think Catherine is very clever to find that for £17.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39We trust Catherine. Another day, another place, I see that 40 to £50, no trouble.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42What's going to happen today, though, is anybody's bet!
0:40:44 > 0:40:49You've made your decision. We shall find out. Here's the hors d'oeuvre dish.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Lot 166 is the Art Deco hors d'oeuvre dish.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56A nice little chrome, glass and Bakelite one.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Lot 166. Start me away. What can I say for it?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01£10 anywhere? Stylish little thing.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04£10? £10 anywhere?
0:41:04 > 0:41:07They're a mean lot, aren't they?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09£5, then?
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Five at the back of the room. £5. Do I see eight anywhere? At five.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14At £5 now. Eight?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16At £5 it is, then. All done?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Selling at the back at five.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21That was very quick. £5.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Well, got to keep the record up.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27Minus 12. That means you are minus £54.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30But that might be a winning score.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34It could be a winning score. Don't despair. Don't talk to the reds.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Not a word.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Well, well, well, well, well.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48When things go badly, they sure go badly, don't they?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Teams, have you been chatting to one another? No. Just as well.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54We've got monumental losses.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58One team has made nearly twice as many losses as the other.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00And that team is the reds!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Yay! Your end score is minus 124.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Which is pretty hot stuff, I have to say.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10You were, however, redeemed by your expert and his bonus buy
0:42:10 > 0:42:14because that made a profit... It did! ..of one pound!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Thank you, Philip. You can walk away from this feeling great!
0:42:18 > 0:42:23But minus 125 was the score before the pound came along so you're minus 124.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27Had a good time? I've had a lovely time, thank you. Had a great time.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Don't give up the day job.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32The blues have won by losing £54.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Yay! Yay! Yeah.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Who says that youth versus experience doesn't sometimes win out?
0:42:38 > 0:42:43That's what's happened. We're shocked. Can't believe we won!
0:42:43 > 0:42:45That's rather lovely, then.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48So what's been the high moment for you?
0:42:48 > 0:42:52The actual auction. Yeah, I liked the auction. Never been to one before. It's fun.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57Well, they're not all as bad as this when it comes to the end result!
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yes!
