0:00:02 > 0:00:06150 years ago, Wadebridge was a market town

0:00:06 > 0:00:07trading in cattle.

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Today, we're in the marketplace

0:00:10 > 0:00:12trading for bargains!

0:00:12 > 0:00:15So let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:44 > 0:00:48The Royal Cornwall Showground is our venue today,

0:00:48 > 0:00:52with 250 stalls for our teams to poke around at.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55And an expert to help them!

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Philip Serrell heads up the Red Team.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03I think you've got to start buying stuff.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Henry Meadows leads the Blue Team.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10It's good, isn't it?

0:01:10 > 0:01:13So let's go and meet today's contestants.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17Today, for the Reds, we have friends Anna and Gail

0:01:17 > 0:01:20and daughter-and-father combo Freya and Peter for the Blues.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Hello, everyone!- ALL: Hello. - How lovely!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25How do you two know each other?

0:01:25 > 0:01:29I met Gail's daughter Meg about ten years ago when they first moved to Cornwall.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33She was in my class at school and we became firm friends.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37And then last year, I moved in with Gail, so I'm now her lodger

0:01:37 > 0:01:39and we've become really good friends.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42- I'm like part of the family! - That's rather fun!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45You're friendly with everybody! Which is brilliant.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now, you're in the property business, Gail.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Well, thrown into it 13 years ago

0:01:51 > 0:01:55when I inherited the company from my mother, who died.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Me and my sister now are directors. - Lovely.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00What do you do to relax and unwind?

0:02:00 > 0:02:06Well, I've got three children, three dogs and three horses, so not a lot of time to relax,

0:02:06 > 0:02:11but when I do, I am out on the cliffs, on the beaches with my dogs, riding my horses.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13My animals are my de-stresser.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Sounds absolutely blissful.- It is.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20- And you look very unstressed, if you don't mind my saying.- Thanks!

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Which is nice.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26- In this wind in mid Cornwall! - Indeed!

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Anna, why do your friends call you Granny Annie?

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Because I love bargains, antiques, things like that.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36They think I'm a right grandma, even though I don't think it's grannyish.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Also, I'm the grown-up, kind of sensible, caring one out of the group of friends,

0:02:41 > 0:02:45so I've kind of got this nickname. But I like it.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50If you go around the fairs, the number of youngsters who are out there poking about,

0:02:50 > 0:02:54looking for trendy things, retro fashion, whatever it might be,

0:02:54 > 0:02:58there's a lot of young enthusiasm in this business,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00so tell your friends you're not Granny Annie at all.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- You're just cool.- Cool Annie!

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Do you guys think you're going to make a great team?

0:03:07 > 0:03:12With my experience and Anna's great confidence, I think we're a recipe for success.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16That's well said! You've done that terribly well!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Good luck, girls.- Thank you.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Peter, originally from Cornwall, but you've done some flitting about.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Yes, quite a bit actually.

0:03:24 > 0:03:30I was born in Polperro and left there when I was around 15 years of age.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Came back for a little while,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34and then when I was 20,

0:03:34 > 0:03:38I took my family to Australia for three years,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41and then went to Scotland and bought a little hotel up there.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46- Gosh!- And then about five years ago, I came back to Polperro again.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48What do you get up to now you're back in Cornwall?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Well, I retired at Christmas,

0:03:51 > 0:03:56but I've been trying to build up this little retail business

0:03:56 > 0:03:58selling bric-a-brac and antiques.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- You're a dealer! - But I didn't know anything,

0:04:00 > 0:04:04so it was a case of on a hope and a prayer

0:04:04 > 0:04:06that somebody might like what I bought and buy it.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Is anybody buying anything?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12You've got to be sensible about the prices, put it that way!

0:04:12 > 0:04:17Freya, you've got your own reasons for going to auctions with your father, haven't you?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yes. I'm a qualified hairdresser, that's my main job,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23but about a year and a half ago, I set up a business

0:04:23 > 0:04:28making bridal bouquets out of antique jewellery, lace, buttons and beads,

0:04:28 > 0:04:31so they're something for people to keep forever.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34So I get a lot of my things from auctions.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37I love going round and searching for bits.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40You two are experienced hands. What are your tactics?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Just to find something as low a price as we can

0:04:43 > 0:04:47and hopefully, something that we know will sell well.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Sell for thousands. I've got my pension resting on this.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54That's good. Just as well you're very young!

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Now, the money moment. Here we go. £300 apiece.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00- There you are, girls. £300. - Thank you.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Your experts await! Off you go! Very, very, very good luck!

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Gosh! What fun! Who's your money on?

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Go! Get in there!- Get in there!

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Well, whichever team you're backing, you'll need to know the rules.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19They've got £300 to spend, an hour to shop and three items to find.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Whoever makes the most profit are declared the winners.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25So let's get cracking.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Old handbags!- Handbags...

0:05:34 > 0:05:36- I can't see anything jumping out at the moment.- BOTH: No.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39I think those are really nice.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- What have you got there? - It's an old railway lamp.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Any markings on it, like BR, or anything like that?- No.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- I think it's seen better days. - I think it has!- Yes.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Now, tell me, what's VR?- Victoria?

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Good girl! Get in there!

0:06:04 > 0:06:08- What's the "R"?- Regina.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Well done.- We're a good team!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12And this is...

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- So we know that's dated from 1837 to 19...whenever she popped it.- OK.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20What you should now do is ask this lovely gentleman,

0:06:20 > 0:06:23flutter your eyelashes - them, not you -

0:06:23 > 0:06:25- and ask what his best price is. - Your very best price.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- What is your very best price?- £40.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Are you prepared to put this back and then...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'll sell you it for £35.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Are you prepared to put it back for now so we can have a look round?

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Could you put it by for about 45 minutes?- It will literally... - You're a gentleman.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Fantastic. Thank you.- Thank you.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Ooh. A cautious start.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- It's not my favourite.- No.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Now, Blues, are you being more bullish?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55- That's quite nice, isn't it, that gong?- That's lovely.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Shall we have a look at it?- Yes. - What have we got?

0:06:58 > 0:07:01We've got the brass gong.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05It's oak-backed, brass lion-mask decoration.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09- What sort of period do you think that is?- I haven't the foggiest!

0:07:09 > 0:07:13I'd say probably Edwardian. 1910, that sort of period.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17It was the sort of thing that would be in a middle-class person's home,

0:07:17 > 0:07:21you know, ring the gong and come down for dinner.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- How much is it?- There's no price. - Shall I ask the stallholder?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27- That'd be a good idea!- Hello there.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Can we ask you how much your gong is?- 28, I put on there.

0:07:30 > 0:07:36- 28. That's not out the way.- No. How much do you think it would make?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38I think between £20 and £30.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41If we could shave a little bit off

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- we stand a chance of a profit. - Get it for 20?

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- You can use your charms on the... - Would you take 20 for it?

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- 22.- 21?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Go on! 21!- Look at that! Brilliant!

0:07:52 > 0:07:54- 21.- You've got yourself a gong!

0:07:54 > 0:07:58- That's a good deal all round. - Thank you.- Thank you.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Great start. Going, going, gong.

0:08:03 > 0:08:08- How much are those, please? - Erm, I'll do those for 20.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11Little Georgian ones, aren't they?

0:08:11 > 0:08:16- They're really interesting. - I've never seen that shape before. Have you?- Yes.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20- I think they might be Middle Eastern. - Oh, right, OK.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22But, normally, they have lots of gold inlay.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27- What's the very best you can do? - Oh, go on, then, £15!

0:08:27 > 0:08:30The truthful answer is I don't know what they're like.

0:08:30 > 0:08:34- They might be Georgian, 18th century, haberdasher scissors.- Might be.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39But I sold a pair of scissors, not too dissimilar to this, about six months ago

0:08:39 > 0:08:41and they're Islamic.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44But I think at £15... Do you want to buy those?

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Is that your best?- It is. - You can't do it for ten?- No.- 12?- No.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52These guys have got a living to make. They travel all over the country doing this.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57Do you think it's wise to do it this quickly? I know we've only got an hour, but...

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Do you want me to put them by? - I don't know whether somebody would go "Wow!".

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- If you want to do that, you can. If you'll put them by?- Yes. - You're an angel.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07ALL: Thank you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11Oh, Anna, you've got to buy something eventually!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- No, I definitely don't think that's Newlyn.- No, I don't.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- See if we get any luck in here. - This looks like great fun in here.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- You've got 40 minutes left, girls. - Oh, OK.- That's fine.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28"That's fine. Chill. That's fine!"

0:09:28 > 0:09:31You don't sound too sure, Phil.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35And you're right to be worried. The Blue Team are on the boil.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38This looks quite nice. Do you like copper,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41- copper kettles and things like that? - Yes.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46- What about this piece?- Unusual, isn't it?- Classic piece of design.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51I'd say probably Late Victorian, 1890, 1900.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55- It's very much in that sort of Art Nouveau style.- Yes.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59And what's nice about this piece is, it's got a name on it.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You can see here, "Boyd's Patent".

0:10:01 > 0:10:05I think anybody who's interested in copper of this period,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07it's something that they can research.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10- And I just think it's a nice touch. - It's a lovely piece.

0:10:10 > 0:10:16- This is iron, isn't it?- Yes. - And you've got the copper and brass kettle there and the burner

0:10:16 > 0:10:20- and it's complete, isn't it? - Yes. No damage.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- The question is, how much is it? - Exactly.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25I was asking about 50.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- Er...- Would you take 40?

0:10:28 > 0:10:30Yes, I'll do 40.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I think that sounds like a really fair deal.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- We'll buy it from you.- Ooh, right! - Ooh!

0:10:36 > 0:10:39LAUGHTER DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I think you've just made her day.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Phil, tell us how your day's coming along.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48I'm having a bit of a panic. The fair's a lot smaller than I thought it was.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52So, you know, it's time to kick on a bit.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56You might be struggling, but I found something pretty cool.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Don't you think he's handsome?

0:10:58 > 0:11:04The hairdo could do with a little bit of patching.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07The face has suffered a degree,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09but you've got to remember

0:11:09 > 0:11:13that this gadget is at least 80 years old

0:11:13 > 0:11:15and it could be 90 years old.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19Did you ever wonder about ventriloquism?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21Well, this is your moment.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Because in one lot, you get this fellow

0:11:24 > 0:11:27and you get the instruction book.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32Look at that. The Secrets of Ventriloquism.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34One shilling.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39It tells you how to speak from the belly,

0:11:39 > 0:11:44which is what ventriloquism, in Latin, means.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49It says here, "You may have difficulty in pronouncing some the words with closed lips,

0:11:49 > 0:11:52"but this can be easily overcome

0:11:52 > 0:11:56"by substituting other letters that may sound similar,

0:11:56 > 0:12:01"for instance, V is substituted for B.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04"W is pronounced duggle-you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08"For P use fee.

0:12:08 > 0:12:14"A big piano could be used as 'A vig fiano'."

0:12:14 > 0:12:19Good, isn't it? I think the thing is an absolute gas!

0:12:19 > 0:12:24What makes it for me, though, is having the original book.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27And what does he cost?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Watch those lips and he'll tell you.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33"£120!"

0:12:33 > 0:12:37£120 for all this fun and entertainment.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41You could ask him, "What's it worth?"

0:12:41 > 0:12:44It could be worth £300 to £400

0:12:44 > 0:12:48in one of those Magic Circle special auctions

0:12:48 > 0:12:53way up there, somewhere in... "London".

0:12:55 > 0:12:57There's some rummagey ones over there.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- Right, then, boys, I'm feeling a little bit left out.- Are you?

0:13:02 > 0:13:06There's been lots of shiny brass boy things been bought.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yes, there has been a bit of a bias.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12I think something gorgeous and girly is on the cards.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Let's go for some girly items. - What about that?- BOTH: Oh, yes!

0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Bakelite radio. - It's really pretty, isn't it?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Is it?- It's tiny.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's a Kadette Jewel, so it's American.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35It's the smallest radio they made around, erm, 1935.

0:13:35 > 0:13:40- Brown Bakelite.- Yes.- Erm... - Bakelite's quite collectable?- It is.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45- With its...- Oh, look! - It's got its original valves. - It's got all its valves.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47And how much is it?

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- We've got 200 on this at the moment. - Hm...

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Obviously, that's the sort of figure that you feel...

0:13:54 > 0:13:59Well, I could do quite a bit on it. I'm prepared to move a bit.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- I mean -- 50?!

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Maybe not that much! Nice try, though!

0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I mean, is 100 too low for it? - Erm...

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- That's a huge sort of...- Yes. - I could go...

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Well, I could come down quite a lot on it.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18- You've got expensive tastes.- I know!

0:14:18 > 0:14:20We may well be back for that. Thank you.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24But Freya wants something girly, Henry!

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Reds, isn't it about time you bought something?

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I quite like that. - I like that, as well. And you're so into horses, Gail.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34This is just some sort of...

0:14:34 > 0:14:36- ..probably beech or something, isn't it?- Probably.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40And that would date to what, 1920s?

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- What's the best you can do that for? - About 60.- Yes.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- You're after a bargain, aren't you? - Yes, we want a real good bargain!

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- I think that's a cool thing. - We could do it for 50.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I think you've got to start buying stuff.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- OK -- But just...

0:14:56 > 0:15:01- Let's go and talk tactics. Come over here.- Thank you. - Don't sell it for two minutes.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04This is close to getting to decision time.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Do you want to buy the scissors? - We like the scissors.- Yes.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Right, you want to buy those. Er...

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Do you like the saddle rack? - I do. I think it's unusual.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17I do, as well. Do you think I could get any more off it?

0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Do you think it's worth trying? - You've got to ask that one, not me.

0:15:20 > 0:15:25While you have a chat here, I'll whizz up there and see what else I can see,

0:15:25 > 0:15:28- and then we'll have a decision. - OK, come on, Gail.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Any chance you could do it for a little bit less? Maybe 45?

0:15:32 > 0:15:38- Go on, then.- Fantastic! Thank you. - You're welcome.- That's lovely.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Reds, you've finally saddled up! About time, too.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Vogue Women's Shoe! It caught my eye!

0:15:45 > 0:15:48I'm not going to be able to help you with that one!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50Nice try, Freya.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53I love the kimonos and things like that. They're so hard to come by.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58They're always so fragile, though. What period would you say that is?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- '20s to '30s? Something like that? - I guess so.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- The age of...- The lining is just gorgeous, as well.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09I'd quite happily flounce around in this!

0:16:09 > 0:16:13If that's the sort of thing that you like, don't be afraid to ask the price.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17But I'm not sure how well placed it will be in Jefferys.

0:16:17 > 0:16:23- It's about 85.- 85, yes. All right. - Wishful thinking there!- Come on.

0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Do you two want to go and do the deed with those scissors? - How much were they?- 15 quid.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Let me have a wander.- OK. - If I see anything, I will...- OK.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Goodness. More decisions. - We've come about the scissors.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- We'd really like to make a deal. - Excellent.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43- £15?- Quite happy? - Very happy. They're lovely.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48- I'll wrap them up for you.- Lovely. Happy, Gail?- Super.- Brilliant.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Two down. Now you're firing on all cylinders.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53What's that smell?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- There's a Chanel No5 over there, which is iconic.- Oh, right.

0:16:57 > 0:17:02- Why are they that size? Just for display purposes?- Yes.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Or because they're for very large people?!

0:17:05 > 0:17:07In shop windows, I guess they have them...

0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Right, for advertising.- Yes.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12I thought you were meant to be the expert, Henry?

0:17:12 > 0:17:15I think that one, rather than the others.

0:17:15 > 0:17:20That one, to me, looks more iconic. Audrey Hepburn, that sort of...?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23- And me. I wear it, too.- Oh, right!

0:17:23 > 0:17:27- It's what she wants. - Forget Audrey Hepburn!

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- I have to say, this one's going right over my head, but... - Yep, we noticed.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Shall I ask her what the best price would be?- Yes, absolutely.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36There's no harm in trying.

0:17:36 > 0:17:42All I know is, they do sell for a lot of money on the internet.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46It would be about £100, I think.

0:17:46 > 0:17:4790?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Erm, 95.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55We haven't got any spare fivers. WOMAN: It makes all the difference!

0:17:55 > 0:17:59For the sake of a fiver, it's neither here nor there.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I think we should go for it. - ALL: Go for it.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04We've got a couple of like...

0:18:04 > 0:18:08- Thank you very much. - WOMAN: Good luck.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11£95. Sweet.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13How much is that?

0:18:13 > 0:18:17- That can be 60.- Do you like that? - GAIL: I do.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22I think it's got a use, which is a good positive, you know?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Which would you rather, that or the truncheon?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- What would you rather go for? - I think this,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30because it has a use if you had a fire.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32I could imagine it in a Cornish home.

0:18:32 > 0:18:38- I don't think it's a make I know. - It's a late 19th-century metal or toleware.

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Toleware is painted metal. - OK.- I'm really into metal.

0:18:42 > 0:18:46This is meant to look like sharkskin because it looks like shagreen.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- A bad day at auction, this is £30. - Yes.- On a good day, you may get 80.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53But, the but is, you both really like that.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58- I was drawn to it.- And I think you should buy what you like.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01We've got things that have got a use,

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- which I really like that theme. - The scissors, the saddle rack,

0:19:04 > 0:19:08- which I don't think'll make money, but...- It doesn't matter.

0:19:08 > 0:19:12And, er... Do you want to go and look at the truncheon again?

0:19:12 > 0:19:17To be honest, it is quite plain, you can just about see what it is. I prefer this because it has a use.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Time's running out. BOTH: I'm happy with it.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- I walked up to it, so I like it. - You go and speak to the good lady.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- So £60, best price? - You've got a deal.- Fantastic.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Do you like it? - It's lovely. Thank you.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Scissors, saddle rack, scuttle. Go "esses".

0:19:36 > 0:19:40They've haggled, bargained and bought.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Thank goodness, because time's up.

0:19:43 > 0:19:49Reds eventually got under way with a 19th-century saddle horse.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54They all felt the Islamic scissors were a snip at £15.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58And in the end, they settled on a late-Victorian coal box.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- You spent £120.- 120.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Did I hear £120 was spent?!- You did.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07- That's rather good, isn't it? - Rather mean!

0:20:07 > 0:20:09- Did you add it up correctly? - ALL: Yes.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13He's very good with the maths. He knows what's what about the cash.

0:20:13 > 0:20:18- Which is your favourite piece?- Erm, well, I really like the scissors.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- You like them.- Never seen anything like that before.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Do you agree, Anna?- I agree. I've never seen anything like them.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27- Are they going to make the biggest profit?- I think so.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Yes?- Hopefully. - Are they a snip?- They are a snip!

0:20:30 > 0:20:32Oh, good. That's good. Lovely.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Anyway, £120 spent,

0:20:34 > 0:20:37- I'd like 180 of leftover lolly. - Sure thing.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40180 coming out of the lovely Anna's pocket.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43There we go. All nice and hot, Philip, the way you like it.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- What are you going to spend it on? - I haven't got a clue!

0:20:46 > 0:20:52But I'm going to try and find something that might just appeal to these girls.

0:20:52 > 0:20:57- And make a profit. And cheap.- Yes. I'm going to go and find something. BOTH: OK!

0:20:57 > 0:21:01I'm going to pop off and check out what the Blue Team bought.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06Henry got them under way with a wall-mounted gong.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09They spent £40 on a copper kettle.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12And Freya, bless her, went for something girly -

0:21:12 > 0:21:16an oversized perfume bottle for £95.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19They're very different, all the buys.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Tell me, is there a smell about or is there not a smell about?!

0:21:23 > 0:21:27There's rather a fragrant smell about!

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Super. What did you spend in total?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33- £156?- Yes.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37156. I'd like £144 of leftover lolly, please.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39It's coming out in bits. My pockets want to keep it.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Your pockets are very deep!

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- And four smackers. There we go. £144.- Thank you very much.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Which is your favourite piece, Peter?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53I like the little copper kettle on the stand.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- That's your favourite?- Yes.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Is that going to bring the biggest profit, Freya?- No, my one will.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- "My one will"!- Chanel, darling!

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Oh, Chanel, darling! That's why there's such a good smell about.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09- So, that's your prediction for the best profit?- Absolutely.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12- And have you had the most divine day, Hen?- I've had a fantastic day.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15We've looked at the weird and the wonderful,

0:22:15 > 0:22:19but I have to agree, I feel quite pleased.

0:22:19 > 0:22:24- Let's put all our faith in the internet channel, shall we? - Fingers crossed!

0:22:24 > 0:22:28We'll cross everything. Very good luck. Good luck with your bonus buy.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31Meanwhile, we're heading off to St Michael's Mount.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Now, there is something special.

0:22:39 > 0:22:43This magnificent outcrop is St Michael's Mount.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47It lies off the south Cornish coast at Marazion,

0:22:47 > 0:22:51and during its long history has been a place of pilgrimage,

0:22:51 > 0:22:54a working harbour, a garrison, a priory

0:22:54 > 0:22:59and most recently, since 1647, a family home.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04Generations of the St Aubyn family

0:23:04 > 0:23:07have occupied the Mount.

0:23:07 > 0:23:13But the one single factor that has dominated their lives through the ages

0:23:13 > 0:23:15has been the sea.

0:23:17 > 0:23:23At low tide, a causeway leads to the island, but only briefly.

0:23:23 > 0:23:28For eight hours at a time, St Michael's Mount is completely cut off from the mainland.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31If you live in a house governed by the tides,

0:23:31 > 0:23:35you need some way of telling when they'll occur.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42This is a snug little room, isn't it?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Sir John's room. A sort of study.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47And what more comforting thing to find in a study

0:23:47 > 0:23:51than a longcase clock, on a wintry evening,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53going "tick-tock" in the corner of the room.

0:23:53 > 0:23:59What's happened to this longcase clock, which was once at least seven-feet tall,

0:23:59 > 0:24:05is that it stood downstairs in a room with a stone floor,

0:24:05 > 0:24:09and the old maids used to come in and chuck out a bucket of water,

0:24:09 > 0:24:13get their mop, do a bit of a splish-splash.

0:24:13 > 0:24:19You do that for 50 or 100 years, the mahogany doesn't like it very much, it rots away.

0:24:19 > 0:24:24The owner of the stately home says, "I'm fed up with that clock" and they chuck it out!

0:24:24 > 0:24:31This one, however, was preserved on its replacement plinth and brought upstairs.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Why?

0:24:33 > 0:24:38Well, part of the secret is told by the dial.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43Phew! That's a relief!

0:24:43 > 0:24:48Anyway, I'll pop that safely down on top of here.

0:24:48 > 0:24:55We can now have a full-frontal view of this lovely silver dial.

0:24:55 > 0:24:59The first thing you look for is the maker. We've got Roger Wearn.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04Roger Wearn was a clockmaker up the coast at St Erth.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07So we have a local Cornish clockmaker,

0:25:07 > 0:25:10in 1780, producing this clock

0:25:10 > 0:25:14specifically for this house.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18The unusual thing about it is this arrangement in the arch.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19It says at the top,

0:25:19 > 0:25:23"High water at Mount's Bay".

0:25:23 > 0:25:26So Mount's Bay is outside, you own this house,

0:25:26 > 0:25:29you're trotting back and forth over that causeway,

0:25:29 > 0:25:34you need to work out very, very carefully what the tide is doing

0:25:34 > 0:25:39and that's what this tidal longcase clock will do.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44So what Roger Wearn has done

0:25:44 > 0:25:48is to paint in this dial a solid disc of brass

0:25:48 > 0:25:54and then the clockwork movement inside will advance that disc.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56If I revolve it now,

0:25:56 > 0:26:02you can see that we go from no moon at all, new moon,

0:26:02 > 0:26:05all the way through until,

0:26:05 > 0:26:09at 14 and a half days through the cycle,

0:26:09 > 0:26:11we have a full moon.

0:26:11 > 0:26:15So if you watched that moon appear,

0:26:15 > 0:26:21you'd be able to work out where the spring really high tides were

0:26:21 > 0:26:26and where the really low neap tides were.

0:26:26 > 0:26:27Clever, isn't it?

0:26:27 > 0:26:32It's no wonder they never wanted to get rid of this longcase clock

0:26:32 > 0:26:34from this particular house,

0:26:34 > 0:26:38and that's why all that repair work went on underneath.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41The big question today is, of course,

0:26:41 > 0:26:44will our teams' fortunes over at the auction room

0:26:44 > 0:26:47be waxing or waning?

0:26:48 > 0:26:52Now's the time to find out over at Jefferys Auction Room.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05The auctioneer, Ian Morris,

0:27:05 > 0:27:07is ready to receive us.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Ian, how long has this auction house been here?

0:27:10 > 0:27:16It's been here round about 100, 140 years in different guises, different names.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18But it's always been a part of the landscape.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21You've obviously got your loyal following

0:27:21 > 0:27:24because there's lots of people running round, which is encouraging.

0:27:24 > 0:27:29Anyway, first up is going to be this wall-hung saddle crutch.

0:27:29 > 0:27:34You get a lot of riders and equestrian folk in Cornwall, so this should be interesting.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38It's a kind of rustic look that people seem to be looking for at the moment,

0:27:38 > 0:27:41so even if they doze at their saddles,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43good decorative piece.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46I think that, erm, that's going to sell.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48What's it worth?

0:27:48 > 0:27:52I put an estimate of 30 to 50. I think that's fine.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- That's about the mark of it. - That's about the mark of it.

0:27:55 > 0:27:59Well, £45 paid, so they might've paid a top end on that.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Yes.- Not a guaranteed profit, by any manner of means.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06Now, these, I think, are absolutely fascinating,

0:28:06 > 0:28:09- don't you?- I've never seen anything quite like it before.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13We've catalogued it as early 19th century, but it could be earlier.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17What I'm fascinated by is the design. Look at that.

0:28:17 > 0:28:23Where you'd normally expect two finger holes for scissors to shut together like that,

0:28:23 > 0:28:28meaning that the width of the thing at this point is that broad,

0:28:28 > 0:28:31this lot fold into one another,

0:28:31 > 0:28:36giving you one slender slither of metal when it's closed

0:28:36 > 0:28:38that would go into a leather sheath.

0:28:38 > 0:28:40They're beautifully made in steel.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Could be Damascus, somewhere like that.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- They could be 200 to 300 years old, couldn't they?- Yes.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49- What's your estimate? - I've just put 15 to 30 on it.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53It's a guesstimate, because we've never sold anything like it.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Our lot were cute because they only paid £15 for it.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- The last item is much more standard, isn't it?- Yes.

0:28:59 > 0:29:06This rather dull and rusty coal bin. What do you make of that?

0:29:06 > 0:29:10It's the kind of thing that, in the last 20 years, has got increasingly hard to sell.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13People don't have so many open fireplaces.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's got a certain appeal, but I think it's limited.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19How limited is the appeal in money terms?

0:29:19 > 0:29:22I think I put 25 to 40 on there.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26- I think we'll get closer to the 40. - They paid 60.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29I can't see us getting back all their money.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34Well, if there's a dark hole, it's going to come from the coal pit. I'm sorry, the coal scuttle!

0:29:34 > 0:29:38In which case, they'll need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:38 > 0:29:41A and G, Anna and Gail!

0:29:41 > 0:29:43You spent 120 petals.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47You gave him £180, the brute!

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- What did he spend it on? - Well, I only spent £70.

0:29:51 > 0:29:56- But I think these are really funky. Isn't that just lovely?- Wow.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Do you like that?- I love it.

0:29:58 > 0:30:02- What's it made of?- Well, it's brass.

0:30:02 > 0:30:06There's a copper simulated bamboo column there.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08I just think it's a real fun thing.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12For the pair of them, I paid £70.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- So I paid a lot for them.- Yes.

0:30:15 > 0:30:20So you've got to play this quite tactically, I think, when you decide to go with it or not.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23I really like them. They're different.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I think they're fun. BOTH: They are.

0:30:25 > 0:30:29So £70 spent, girls. That's what you've got to think about.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33Will they make more than 70? You pick after the sale of your three items.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35For the viewers at home,

0:30:35 > 0:30:39let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's sticks.

0:30:40 > 0:30:44- There we go. Rather sweet, aren't they?- Yes, charming.

0:30:44 > 0:30:49We've got this... I don't know whether it's a Warwick bear,

0:30:49 > 0:30:55- but that kind of symbol of the City of Warwick is a dancing bear, isn't it?- Yes.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- They're nice, though. - They're very pretty.

0:30:58 > 0:31:03I like the bear supports. Er... It's just that brass isn't an easy seller.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07No. What sort of auction estimate would you put on these?

0:31:07 > 0:31:09- I just put 25 to 40.- Have you?- Yes.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11Philip paid £70. He rather rates them.

0:31:11 > 0:31:16- It might prove a little bit tricky. - You know your crowd and we respect that.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Freya and Peter.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23What a mixture they've got.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25How do you rate this wall gong?

0:31:25 > 0:31:31It is fairly bog standard, for want of an expression.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34We see quite a few through. Early 20th century.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Not a terrific amount going for it.

0:31:37 > 0:31:41- What do you think it's worth? - I've put an estimate of 15 to 30.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43That's OK. They only paid £21.

0:31:43 > 0:31:48Complete with the beater and the gong and the bracket, I don't think that's too bad.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53- They're not going to lose a lot. - That's at least reassuring.

0:31:53 > 0:31:58What about this copper kettle and burner on the wrought-iron stand? There's a lot there!

0:31:58 > 0:32:02There is. You do get a lot for your money.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05The styling is good, in the Art Nouveau period.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08It's just the medium again, the copper and the iron,

0:32:08 > 0:32:11it's not the best medium to sell.

0:32:11 > 0:32:15- What's the estimate?- 30 to 50.

0:32:15 > 0:32:20I think I've been a little bit mean and it'll do a little bit more.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22So nearer 50 to 80, probably.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25They'll be delighted. They only paid 40.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27What about the third item,

0:32:27 > 0:32:31the Chanel display showcase perfume bottle?

0:32:31 > 0:32:35It looks very impressive. Not the kind of thing I've sold before.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38It's a bit of an unknown quantity for me,

0:32:38 > 0:32:40so I, again, erred on the side of caution.

0:32:40 > 0:32:45- How cautious? - I'm always very cautious. We are cautious in Cornwall!

0:32:45 > 0:32:47Cautious Cornish!

0:32:47 > 0:32:51- 20 to 40 pounds. - Gosh, that's cautious!

0:32:51 > 0:32:53£95 they paid.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57Yes, I think, again, it'll do better than my £20-40 range.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Whether you'll see the money back, I'm not so sure.

0:33:00 > 0:33:04But it is quite an impressive piece for decoration.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06It might just get there.

0:33:06 > 0:33:11Depending on how the Chanel does, they will either need or not their bonus buy.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Freya and Peter, are you excited? - Yes.

0:33:16 > 0:33:22What do you suppose Henry has spent your £144 of leftover lolly on?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Henry, show us your wares.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28- I hope you like this, but anyway... - You look worried!

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Remember this?- Yay!- Have a look.

0:33:31 > 0:33:36I bought this, to be honest, because curiosity killed the cat.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- We spoke about it at the antiques fair.- I loved it.

0:33:39 > 0:33:44I thought it was unusual. I know you liked it and we were torn between the perfume and this.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47You got them down a bit on that, didn't you?

0:33:47 > 0:33:51I got them down from 200 to 120, so...

0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Do you like it?- BOTH: I do.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56It's quirky and unusual.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59It's 1930s, it's unusual, it's speculative.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Hopefully, it should find a good home with collectors.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Don't you think it's tiny? - That's why she said it was unusual.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09They didn't have a lot on the radio in those days!

0:34:09 > 0:34:12I've never seen one.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15- You're going to have to decide, aren't you...- We are.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17..after the sale of your first three items.

0:34:17 > 0:34:23But right now, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Henry's radio.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Now, what about this, Ian? That's exciting, isn't it?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29It's a lovely piece of Art Deco radio.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32- It's got that Art Deco styling, hasn't it?- It has.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35If you look in the back, all the valves are there.

0:34:35 > 0:34:39- It's all filthy and dusty, just like you'd expect.- Yes.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I'm not sure if it's digital or not. - I don't think it's digital!

0:34:42 > 0:34:45I don't think it's legal to wire up, either.

0:34:45 > 0:34:50- It would probably blow up if you plugged it in. - I would be worried about that wiring.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53- What's your estimate? - I've just put 40 to 60 on it.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57Oof! Dear, oh, dear! Poor old Henry! He paid 120 for this.

0:34:57 > 0:35:02There could be serious interference, if you know what I mean!

0:35:02 > 0:35:07Anyway, the team may not go with it. It may not be a disaster. We'll find out in a minute.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Are you taking the sale today? - Yes. And if I was a betting man,

0:35:10 > 0:35:14I'd stick with the three the team bought.

0:35:14 > 0:35:18Right. Well, there's a prediction. Thank you very much.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22At 20. 22? 22. 25? 25.

0:35:22 > 0:35:2528? 28. Five. 45. 48?

0:35:25 > 0:35:2745 at the back.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Anna and Gail, are you OK? - BOITH: Yes.

0:35:29 > 0:35:35- You look excited. - I'm really excited! - We're seriously jammed in here.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38This is the tiniest sale room I've been in for half a decade!

0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Shoebox selling!- It's a shoebox.

0:35:41 > 0:35:45Looking around, there are so many people here and so few lots to buy,

0:35:45 > 0:35:49if they all took home two lots each, we'd just about clear the place. Anyway, here we go.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52The saddle rack. Lot 202. £30 away? £20 away.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55£20 I'm bid. I'll take two to get on.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58At £20. 22. 25. 28. £30. 32?

0:35:58 > 0:36:0132. 35. 38? 38.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05- £40. 38 at the front.- Oh!- At £38.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08- At £38.- So nearly!

0:36:08 > 0:36:10- You are minus £7, girls. - Minus seven.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13Anyway, here comes the scissors.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16Islamic-style steel scissors.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Nice ones there. £50 away? 30 I'm bid.

0:36:18 > 0:36:23At 35. £40. 45. £50. At £50, the bid's with me.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Are we all done at £50?

0:36:26 > 0:36:30- I thought it was cheap, actually. - That's £50. That's plus £35.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34Look out. £35, girls! Here comes the coal scuttle.

0:36:34 > 0:36:39Lot 204 there, a late-Victorian painted brass coal hub there.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43I've got three bids, all very close together. Start at £40.

0:36:43 > 0:36:49£40. £40 I'm bid. At £40, are we all done?

0:36:49 > 0:36:52The bids are with me at the £40.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54£40, sadly, is minus 20.

0:36:54 > 0:36:58- But overall, you are plus £8.- Score!

0:36:58 > 0:37:01- That is something else, isn't it? - That's amazing!

0:37:01 > 0:37:04- All thanks to those scissors. - You spotted them a mile away!

0:37:04 > 0:37:10Listen, what are you going to do about the bonus buy? Are you going to hang on to £8 profit?

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Do you think they'll make profit? - I think they're beautiful...

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- I think you're doing the right thing.- Yes. I think we'll stay.

0:37:18 > 0:37:23We're not going with the bonus buy, but we'll sell them anyway. Here they come.

0:37:23 > 0:37:27A pair of amusing brass bear support candlesticks,

0:37:27 > 0:37:30with an engraved and embossed circular decoration.

0:37:30 > 0:37:33£30 away? £20 away for the candlesticks.

0:37:33 > 0:37:39Ten bid. At ten. At 12. At 15. At 15. At 18. At 20. 22? 22.

0:37:39 > 0:37:4125? At £22 bid, the candlesticks.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43I think you made the right decision.

0:37:43 > 0:37:47Are we all done at £22?

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- How much did he sell them for, £20? - 22. That's a monstrous loss.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Ouch. That is minus 48.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57You girls did so well in not going with them. Bad luck, Phil.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00On another day, my man, they are worth 70 to £100.

0:38:00 > 0:38:05Not your day. So overall, girls, you are plus-eight smackers.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07- How good is that?- Brilliant.

0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Excited?- Nervous.- Nervous! Are you nervous, Pete?- Absolutely.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19- I'm nervous for you! - His reputation's on the line.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Now, do you know how the Reds got on at all?- No.- Well, you don't want to.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25- What are you nervous about? - I'm not really.

0:38:25 > 0:38:28- You're not. Just general butterflies.- It is.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31First lot up, here it is. We're off.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34The wall-mounted gong with brass lion-mask fittings.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37£30 away? £20 away. £10 to start me.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39A fiver bid. I'll take six now.

0:38:39 > 0:38:42At £5. Six. At eight. At ten? At ten.

0:38:42 > 0:38:46At 12. At 14? At 14. At 16? At £14, the bid's in the middle.

0:38:46 > 0:38:49At £14 bid... At 16. At 18?

0:38:49 > 0:38:52At £16, then, going at £16.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- 16.- I cannot believe that! - It's a lovely-looking thing.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Minus £5.- Somebody got a bargain. - That is cheap!

0:39:00 > 0:39:06Good design there. Lot 227. £50 away? £40 to start me.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08£40 I'm bid. At £40.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10- 45. £50.- You're in profit.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14- 65. £70 with me. - You know your market, as well!

0:39:14 > 0:39:16£70.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Well done.- £70 is plus 30!

0:39:19 > 0:39:22It's going to go horribly wrong now!

0:39:22 > 0:39:23You are plus 25.

0:39:23 > 0:39:28Chanel No5, the large cut-glass perfume decanter and contents.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30£50 away?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33I've got two bids. I've got to start at 60.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35At £60, the bid's with me. At £60. 65.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39£70. 75. Out at 75 right there.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42At £75. We're done at 75.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45I can't bear it! £75. He's very quick on his hammer.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48£75, minus 20 means overall you are plus £5.

0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Oh.- You're £5 up. What are you going to do about the Bakelite radio?

0:39:52 > 0:39:55- BOTH: we're going with it. - Definitely?- Definitely.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58You could hang on to your five-pound note. That's 2.50 each!

0:39:58 > 0:40:03- You can't even get a pint of beer for that!- Exactly.- In for a penny...

0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Seriously, you're going to go with it?- BOTH: Yes.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10- Definitely?- Definitely. They're- a couple of punters!

0:40:10 > 0:40:13There's no deflecting them. Determined!

0:40:13 > 0:40:16- We're going with this. - Fingers crossed.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Good 1930s-style radio. Lot 234.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- Two bids on this. I've got to start at £30.- 30?!

0:40:23 > 0:40:2645. £50. 55. £60.

0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Come on!- At £60 I'm bid.

0:40:28 > 0:40:33At £60, the bid's made. The bid's going with me at £60.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36- Henry...- Oh, Henry!

0:40:36 > 0:40:39- I'm really quite upset, actually. - Not to worry.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41That is minus £60.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45That means, overall, your score has slumped to minus £55.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- I'm so sorry.- Don't be sorry. - That's not too bad!

0:40:48 > 0:40:52- It's just a game... - I felt it was going to be worth it.

0:40:52 > 0:40:56I honestly did. I'll give you a fiver. How's that?

0:40:56 > 0:41:00Another day, who knows what that thing is going to make?

0:41:00 > 0:41:04Somebody's going to take it away for £60, probably sell it on

0:41:04 > 0:41:07and make a tidy profit and it ain't gonna come your way, which is bad luck.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10- There we are! - Nevertheless, it's been lovely.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14Minus £55 could be a winning score.

0:41:14 > 0:41:17She laughs! She's clearly not watched the programme!

0:41:17 > 0:41:19- I've seen worse!- A lot worse!

0:41:19 > 0:41:24Anyway, it could be a winning score. Therefore, don't talk to the Reds.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31Well, today's programme is all about

0:41:31 > 0:41:34whether one should take the bonus buy

0:41:34 > 0:41:36or not take the bonus buy,

0:41:36 > 0:41:41because at that moment in time, a great fissure opens up in the earth,

0:41:41 > 0:41:43the decision-making process.

0:41:43 > 0:41:48Because today, one team did it and suffered the consequences

0:41:48 > 0:41:53and one team didn't and look how happy they are.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56The team that did and are unhappy are the Blues.

0:41:56 > 0:42:01- We're not unhappy, Henry, are we? - No.- Not at all.- The sun is shining!

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Minus £55 is the score.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07You did have a fiver in your pocket until we got to that black moment,

0:42:07 > 0:42:09which was the decision about the leftover lolly.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12- But as you say, you're not unhappy about it.- No.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16- And the radio, on another day... - It was lovely. - We wanted to know the value.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19- I suppose we did! - At the market price!

0:42:19 > 0:42:24- In case we find another one! - Well, quite. In which case, you'll not pay more than £50.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26There we go, lots of lessons learned.

0:42:26 > 0:42:30I hope you've enjoyed yourselves. We've loved having you both,

0:42:30 > 0:42:32the father-and-daughter combo from heaven.

0:42:32 > 0:42:37And now, for the victors today, the Reds, who are going to take home £8!

0:42:37 > 0:42:40- ALL LAUGH - Which is quite something!

0:42:40 > 0:42:45There was this three-pound difference, you see, between the two of you at one point,

0:42:45 > 0:42:48- which is what has made today's programme so thrilling.- Yes.

0:42:48 > 0:42:53- Again, we hope you've had a great time. Have you?- BOTH: Yes. - We've loved having you on.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55In fact, so much so, you should join us soon

0:42:55 > 0:42:59- for some more bargain hunting. Yes? - ALL: Yes!
