0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hundreds of fascinating objects, eh?
0:00:05 > 0:00:09But are we going to be able to find just six that will make a profit?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:36 > 0:00:40We're six miles outside the city centre of Exeter
0:00:40 > 0:00:44and behind this shed door, it's all happening!
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Isn't that amazing? We've got the stalls,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52we've got the experts, we've got the contestants
0:00:52 > 0:00:58and we've also got £300 each for the teams to blow.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00What could be more fun?
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Today, two smart ladies
0:01:02 > 0:01:05leave their expert to do the manhandling.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09RATTLING Oh, that's all the drawers come out.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14You already told me that your eyes don't work. I'm nearly 60 and my eyes don't work!
0:01:14 > 0:01:19And two old friends suddenly discover a great big gap between their views.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22You don't like it? This is how it's going to be.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- I told you!- I told you!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29And here are our teams. First, let's assess the Reds.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32So, Ann and Denise, how did you first meet?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34It was about 20 years ago.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Denise's husband and my husband worked at the police station
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and we met as a result of that.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Ann, you work at the police force? - I used to.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I finished at the end of last year. I've moved on.- Have you?- Yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'd been there over 21 years, so it was time for a change.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- But you enjoyed it?- I did, yes.
0:01:51 > 0:01:57- You have quite a different job now? - I'm working for a local funeral director, in the office!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02- That sounds jolly! - You'd be surprised. You have to keep positive.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You can't walk around with a glum face all the time.- No, quite!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07You have to pick your moments.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10When somebody's just been bereaved, you don't want to have a rave-up.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Absolutely. Time and a place. - Time and a place.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15What about collecting? What do you collect?
0:02:15 > 0:02:20My first collection was tortoises and that started when I was a child.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22I went to a pottery class with my aunt
0:02:22 > 0:02:25and made what I thought looked like a tortoise,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and it sort of grew from there.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- I think I've got about 200 now. - Have you?- Yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- They do breed, don't they?- They do! They're fairly slow, but...!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Slow off the mark, but when they get going, they get the message!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's lovely. 200 tortoises!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- It's difficult displaying them, though.- I bet it is.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Denise, you are, apparently, professionally qualified at getting on with people.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52I don't know about professional, but I am a people person.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58Every job I've ever had's involved doing things with people, customer services
0:02:58 > 0:03:00and helping to raise money for charity.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- What do you like to collect? - Quite a few things.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Postcards was my first collection when I was 12. I've got over 3,000.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Sadly now, that's going to be a thing of the past, with emails, internet, etc,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14so people don't send postcards.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- But the interesting ones are all 50 or 100 years old.- Oh, fantastic! - It's a great collecting era.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Will you be buying postcards today?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- If they're around, we'll look. - And at the right price?- Absolutely.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I think you've got this sorted out, you two. Very good luck.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- Now for the Blues. Great friends, Rhian and Sally. - We are.- Good friends.- Good friends.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37How did you two meet, Rhian?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41We met, erm, it must be about 13 or 14 years ago
0:03:41 > 0:03:46when we both worked for a local farmer and land agent.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48From the day we started working together,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51we realised we'd get on very well,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55but, unfortunately, we didn't behave ourselves particularly well,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57so we weren't allowed to work together!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- You started behaving badly? - I think so!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Or too much chat?- A bit of both. - She brings out the worst in me.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So we couldn't work together.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- You bring out the worst in each other. This is promising! - Absolutely.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13What's your job, Rhian?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18I am now a welfare officer at an agricultural college,
0:04:18 > 0:04:23which I look after the students and try and keep them in line, basically.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25How do you keep students in line?
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- The theory is, give them plenty to do, it's stops them doing things they shouldn't.- Right.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I organise different entertainments and events for them to do.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It says here "pub quizzes and inflatable parties".
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- What's an inflatable party?- We get things like bouncy castles and...
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Oh, I see!
0:04:44 > 0:04:50- These are for students? - They like it! You'd be surprised. - I bet they like a bouncy castle!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Sally, what's this business about ornaments wrapped up under your bed?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59That is because I have a fetish for car boots.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- The car boot is very close to where I live, is the problem.- I see.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- And so you find yourself there. - Yes. As you do.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11As you do. And Rhian has a real thing about the tat in my house,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15so when she says, "Will I get rid of it?"
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I say, "I have!" but I just wrap it up and put it...
0:05:18 > 0:05:24- Under your bed. - Because I can't get rid of it. - No.- It's worth a lot of money.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28So, you're rather looking forward to me giving you £300.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I am. I could buy a lot with £300.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Are you feeling passionate? - Absolutely!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Do you reckon you'll win? - Definitely.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38If I have a stronger hand in it, I think we will.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Things are going to go well!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Here we go, then. There's your £300. - Thanks.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You know the rules.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Your experts await! Off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53We've brought bags of expertise down to Exeter.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56In the Red corner, fighting fit and full of vim, Philip Serrell.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Battling for the Blues with determination and style,
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Catherine Southon.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Have we got a plan?- Not really. - Got a plan?- No.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09This is what I like to hear!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Do you want to spend a lot of money?- As much as I need to!
0:06:13 > 0:06:18We've got to concentrate because this'll be the quickest hour you've ever had.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, everyone, make the most of it.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- That's lovely.- We like that. - That's also £250.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Just a bit gorgeous! - That's also too much for us!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I think the clock may be slightly out of our range!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- No to the clock, then! - £750 - that's a no-no.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39It's all geared to fashion. You've got to think,
0:06:39 > 0:06:43"What do the general public want?" because of the auction.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- It's extremely well made. - Do you really?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49You don't like it. This is how it's going to be, isn't it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:53The Blues have found another clock with a handsome horse on top,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56and a handsome stallholder alongside.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- That'll sell because it's an Art Nouveau clock with the horse... - Because of the horse.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04..and horses are very collectable.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- I like that.- It's not the person who wants the clock would buy that but the person who likes Art Nouveau.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- If they like clocks and horses, you're onto a winner.- Definitely.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's pewter and the detail is quite nice.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- It's very nice detail on the horse. - It's a nice horse.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22You're into horses. Is he quite a nice-looking horse?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I think so. Sometimes they don't look like proper horses, but that does.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I'll start at 100 -- Oh, gosh! - We'll negotiate.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- We've got to negotiate a long way. - Not too far!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Where does the expert think?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- I was thinking about 40.- I wouldn't want to go anywhere near £100.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40MAN: Go on, then, make me an offer.
0:07:40 > 0:07:46You said 40? MAN: Don't be daft! The pewter's worth more than that.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- 60.- 50.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- I say -- That's a compromise.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53What do you think? You're having deep thoughts.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57I would like it if it was a lot less money. MAN: 60.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Let's have a look and see what else there is.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I think it's nice, but I don't like it that much. MAN: That's fine.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- I think you're very nice. MAN: Thanks.- He's completely lovely!
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- What is the bottom line? - 55. I'll not go less than that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- You're not convinced.- No.- Put it down. We'll find something else.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Meanwhile, the Reds have arrived at an oak stall,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and Uncle Phil's got a salt box.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- What sort of wood is it?- Tree wood.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29This looks like it's rosewood and these are normally salt boxes.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They would hang on a wall to keep salt dry.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35But I've got a feeling this was never intended to be a salt box.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think it's been a stationery box. I think it's rosewood.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Quite why you'd hang your stationery on a wall, I really don't know.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- I think it dates to about 1880, somewhere like that. - Pretty old, then.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53I think at auction, that would make between £40 and £60.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- OK.- So kind of around the money, then, with...- Maybe down a bit?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Well, what did he say?- BOTH: 50. - You could always smile sweetly.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Where are you? - Can I smile sweetly at you?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07MAN: 45.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- 45.- Absolute best?- MAN: Yes.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- You like it, don't you? - It caught my eye. Do you think it's worth a punt?- I do.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17It is pretty.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'm going to ask you one thing.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Do you, one at a time, do you really like that?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Yes, I do. It caught my eye. - Do you like that?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Now I've had a closer look, yes. - Honestly?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It wouldn't be my personal taste, but yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- OK, go buy it off the man.- Thank you! - There you are.- Thank you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Tell him you want it gift-wrapped. - Absolutely!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Well done, Denise and Ann, you're away!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I like that. - Do you? Sewing table or games.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49That's quite a nice decorative piece.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Is it solid silver?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- The answer is, yes and no.- Right.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58This is silver, but it's not solid, and the base is loaded.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'm looking for a hallmark.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- I like it.- Oh, well! - I like it. I play chess, as well.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09We're in trouble now. You've already told me that your eyes don't work.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14I'm nearly 60 and my eyes don't work, so we're now in your hands.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Do you know what my concern is? - What?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- That this has been put on this. - I think that.- They don't go together.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26It's a bit of a marriage between about three different pieces!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I poked myself in the eye with one of those once.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32There's a hallmark! It looks like an anchor. Would that be right?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What a girl. That's Birmingham.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- And a lion.- Yes.- And a "D".- Yes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- It kind of says, "Birmingham 1903!" - She's checking up on me.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Is that what it says?- On the label! - Does it?- Yes!
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Oh, right. OK. That's really funny, isn't it?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Always pays to look at the label first, I find.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56The Blues have found a great big box.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00They're told it's what the French use to keep baguettes in.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Is it a big, chunky piece of furniture? - It's not too bad. Feel the weight.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Ooh, God! I'm going to hand it over. - That's all right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I love it.- I think it's lovely.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- It's in lovely condition. - It is. And I like the pillar.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20They tend to be fairly plain to stand in the kitchen,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25- whereas this has been made like a piece of furniture. - Exactly. It's really attractive.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28But we're a bit concerned about the price.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I see.- As we always are!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Well, I can move. - That's a very specific price.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- 88.- Mm.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41I can move £10 and make it 78, certainly.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Could you do a nice, round 70?
0:11:43 > 0:11:48It's the OCD kicking in! We don't do odd numbers!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52I tell you what, I'll do a nice, round 75.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Are we going to make money on it? - It's entirely your call.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00I really like it. I'm forgetting that we've got to make a profit.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04This is a major problem on Bargain Hunt. We buy with our hearts.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- I think it's really nice. - If you could possibly do 70...?
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- I probably shouldn't, but I'll do it for 70.- You know you should!
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- ALL: Thank you. - Are we happy with that?- BOTH: Yes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- I wish you luck. It'll be the only one in the auction, I'm sure.- I bet.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23That's one piece apiece for our teams.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26The Reds have found a silver purse.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31That's a lovely thing, but it's all down to price.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's priced at £145.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I think I could do a very best price of £110.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- That's a gamble. - It is in fabulous condition. - It's a belter.- It really is.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48What you've got to do with this programme is, buy with the head and not the heart.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50TIM: Good point, Phil.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53What on earth have the Blues got?
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- Absolutely no idea. What does it say?- Coat hook!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03So... Oh, yes, look. You hook it up on here...
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- It's got nooks. It's wooden, but it's got that bamboo look. - It's very light.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- I don't think I like it.- No. - I just wanted to know what it was.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14The Reds are still on a silver streak.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Aww!- MAN: That's a delightful little cream jug.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- That's nice.- That's beautiful.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21MAN: I can do that...for £50.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25That's 1909, Birmingham. And it's got the weight.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30The weight of silver, with the current price and value,
0:13:30 > 0:13:33it's, er, it's there.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- That is lovely. What do you think it would make?- £50?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- I'm being really picky. It's got a little dent there.- Right.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43It's got a dent there. It's a lovely thing, actually.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Barraclough & Sons, silversmiths in Leeds.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49MAN: Barraclough would be the retailers.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53I like that. It's quite sweet. I think...
0:13:54 > 0:13:58..if that came into my sale room, I'd put £40 to £60 on it.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- We're close, then, aren't we? - You're close.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Would you consider less than 50?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I'd consider!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09What's your very, very best?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'll meet you at 45.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- For £45, I like it. - We do like it very much.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18What did I say to you at the outset? BOTH: We've got to like it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- We like it?- I do like it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Then, you've got your answer.- May we? - Thank you so much.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- ALL: Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38In 1905, what would a well-heeled, artistic gentleman
0:14:38 > 0:14:42be likely to have in his waistcoat pocket?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Well, if he was lucky, he might have one of these.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48I know, on the face of it,
0:14:48 > 0:14:53this simple rectangular silver box looks like a Vesta Case.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55I've seen lots of those.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Or a toothpick case.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Seen lots of those.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02But if you look very carefully,
0:15:02 > 0:15:04the design of the top gives the game away.
0:15:04 > 0:15:09Because here we've got two very well detailed,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13slightly domed, raised panels,
0:15:13 > 0:15:15just like you used to find
0:15:15 > 0:15:21on those black Japan watercolour paint sets in full size.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26If I open this up, that is indeed what is inside
0:15:26 > 0:15:28this solid silver example.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Look at that! Two rows of polychrome watercolour tiles.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39If you took the little brush inside, wet that in some water,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41apply it to the coloured cubes,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44you'd be halfway home to creating a watercolour,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47a simple wash drawing
0:15:47 > 0:15:51whilst on your travels through the shires of Britain.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56This thing is as rare as a hen's tooth.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59It's fully hallmarked for London, 1905,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03and you've got the maker's mark, William Hornby, WH,
0:16:03 > 0:16:04stamped on the end.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09It's a peach. What's it worth? A couple of hundred pounds?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12£500 if you must?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Right. Let's have a look at the price ticket.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19£1,750.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's a cracker!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28OK, let's see where our teams have got to.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30What about the clock?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33If we are struggling, we have the clock.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37The Reds have found a big writing slope.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Careful, Phil!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43And Rhian's discovered a half-price offer.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- I wouldn't say it's by a particularly well-known name.- OK.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55"Indian Tree". It's just a Staffordshire...jug.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56What do you like about it?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I like the colouring. The colours are nice.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- Go for it, then.- But then, I know it's about making a profit.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05If I saw that...
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- You wouldn't.- ..I would say it's about a £15-20 jug.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- I'm just intrigued to know why you picked it up. - Because it's half price and cheap!
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Because it's Bargain Hunt!
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Go and find out how much it is, because we haven't got time.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24That's it, Catherine, you keep pushing them along, girl.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- How much age has that got? - It's not old, is it?- No.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33And this has been put together by a blind man in a coal cellar.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Ha! Now, move on.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- £19.- £19.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- I suppose the relief pattern is quite nice.- The colours are nice.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- But...- The colours are nice.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50You may surprise us yet.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Have it if you want it and you feel there's profit in it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56I don't want to act like a brat and say, "I want it!"
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I want everyone's approval. - But you do and you are.- Really?
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Go for it. We haven't got long. - £19? Thank you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You've made her very happy.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- We'll see.- Now she's pulling a face!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Thank you very much!
0:18:13 > 0:18:18Now the Reds are examining a letter opener.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21It's gorgeous.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- I'd like to own it. How much is it? - £160.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29She's going to have to come down a bit on that one.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31What do you think that would make?
0:18:31 > 0:18:37If that came into my sale room, I would put an auction estimate on it of 80 to 120.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40That would be my guess.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45I'd like to see you buy it for just under 100, but this good lady will tell you.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- What's the very best? - WOMAN: We could do it for 110.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Would you do 100?- I can't.- 105?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- OK, we'll split the difference. 105. - 105?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Yes. Are you happy with that?
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Let's go for it.- It is lovely. - Thank you very much.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05TIM: That's it for the Reds, well within time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09The girls picked a wooden wall box for £45.
0:19:09 > 0:19:15They invested the same sum in a silver jug, dated 1909.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21They completed their trio with an Art Nouveau letter opener at £105.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- What did you spend, Ann?- £195.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Good. I'd like £105 of leftover lolly, please.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30That Philip Serrell, it's his moment now. Look at him!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32He's really happy about this.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35What are you going to spend it on?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37We've got a bit of wood, silver and Art Nouveau,
0:19:37 > 0:19:39so I think it's time for me to branch out.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Absolutely. - I think there's a hint there!
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Good luck, girls!
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Now the Blues have some decisions to make.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54I think we need to run around and see something. If not, we go and get the clock.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Yes?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Majolica.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- No.- Is that a bit pricey? - You can't have the bowl.- No.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I don't like this sort of thing. - Right.- I like something bigger.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- I can feel a bit of a tension building up.- It's always like this, don't worry!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Rhian, Sally, you're supposed to be a team, girls.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Ah, it's back to that clock, eh?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- My goodness.- Have you got it working? - MAN: Have a listen.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Please, because she's won so far with two items.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32£50 I need that for. Please. Please.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37- You know you want to.- I do, really. - Yes.- OK.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Oh, really?! MAN: Just for this one.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- You were very mean earlier. - She is bossy.- I'll do £50.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Thanks.- What's the outcome?- £50.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Are we happy?- Happy with that? - Thank you.- Pleasure.- Good job.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54A bit of teamwork on the last lap.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Let's remind ourselves of the Blues' decisions.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03Sally and Rhian agreed on buying a big French box,
0:21:03 > 0:21:07which might've been used for storing baguettes. It cost them £70.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Then Rhian argued the case for a Staffordshire jug
0:21:10 > 0:21:13at the bargain price of £19.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17And then they ticked off a clock with a horse on top.
0:21:17 > 0:21:22That was £50, which brought their total spend to £139.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:25 > 0:21:30We have all agreed on one item, which is a godsend
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- because there was a bit of... - Conflict.- Conflict.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- It doesn't have to be a team favourite.- No, we all liked it.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Maybe we didn't all like it! - We all like it, but whether or not it'll bring the most profit -
0:21:41 > 0:21:45That's not my question! Which is your favourite?
0:21:45 > 0:21:49- The baguette box. We all liked that. - Everybody likes the baguette box. Lovely.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Which piece will bring the biggest profit?- The jug.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- The clock.- We've got a split.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Here's your cash. It's quite a lot. Have you got any idea what you might spend it on?
0:22:00 > 0:22:05No, but I didn't want to cause an argument because there's been so much conflict.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10As long as you think there's going to be a profit in it, you will be 100 percent safe.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Lovely to see you, girls. - ALL: Thank you.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'm heading off now to the home of the Digby family.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Do you know where that is? Sherborne Castle.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The castle sits close to the Dorset coastline.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Between here and east Devon are many tall, rugged cliff faces
0:22:29 > 0:22:34that annually weather away to expose hundreds of extraordinary fossils.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It's all part of The Jurassic Coast,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40England's first Natural Heritage Site.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46A number of fossils were excavated from quarries,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49providing the stone for Sherborne Castle.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55And now, the castle includes an exhibition of these natural wonders.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03The collection of fossils, on display today in the cellar at Sherborne Castle,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06is a modern collection
0:23:06 > 0:23:08put together by Edward Wingfield Digby,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11son of the current owner.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16The collection focuses particularly on Ammonites
0:23:16 > 0:23:20and the examples that we can see date from the Devonian period,
0:23:20 > 0:23:26that is between 465 million years ago.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28What I think is so extraordinary
0:23:28 > 0:23:31is that when you discover an Ammonite
0:23:31 > 0:23:35contained and squashed within the stone,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38so much of the detail is preserved,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43almost as if that marine creature was still alive.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Interestingly, the term "Ammonite"
0:23:46 > 0:23:50comes from a reference back to the Egyptians.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56Pliny the Elder, when describing the Egyptian God Ammon,
0:23:56 > 0:24:03referred to the horns that Ammon was portrayed as having in Egyptian art,
0:24:03 > 0:24:08rams horns that are intensely, tightly coiled,
0:24:08 > 0:24:14just exactly like the intensely, tightly coiled nature of the Ammonite.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And it is, of course, that visual symmetry
0:24:17 > 0:24:22which draws us to the Ammonite as a collectible today.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Upstairs, here in the boudoir at Sherborne Castle,
0:24:30 > 0:24:32is a fossilised tabletop,
0:24:32 > 0:24:37the like of which you will not see anywhere else in the world.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40It is quite extraordinary.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44The central piece, the greyish flecked stuff,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46is called Marston Marble,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50which was discovered in a village, Marston Magna,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53about five miles away from Sherborne Castle
0:24:53 > 0:24:57when they were digging a well in the 18th century.
0:24:57 > 0:25:0074 feet down under the ground,
0:25:00 > 0:25:03they encountered a great boulder
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and that boulder contained this stone,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09hence they call it Marston Marble.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13If you look carefully, the grey stone is filled
0:25:13 > 0:25:18with literally thousands of tiny Ammonites.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21To increase its decorative effect,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24they've then taken some socking great Ammonites,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27these fellows in each of the corners,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32and arranging them in a geometric and extremely decorative way.
0:25:32 > 0:25:38And running round the outside, we've got a piece of Italian white marble, Carrara Marble,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41that's been applied to the Marston Marble
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and then inlaid with more Ammonites,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47which they've cut out of the Marston Marble!
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It's completely bonkers, isn't it?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54But the effect is absolutely divine.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59In fact, the Digby family were so happy to own this precious object,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02this fossilised tabletop,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05with its connections particularly with this part of the world,
0:26:05 > 0:26:10that they had a whole piece of furniture constructed to accommodate it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Brilliant.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The big question today is, are our teams over at the auction
0:26:15 > 0:26:18likely to become fossilised
0:26:18 > 0:26:20or simply ossified?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25We've headed over to Bridgwater in Somerset and the Tamlyn Sales Room
0:26:25 > 0:26:30to have our items assessed by auctioneer Claire Rawle.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Good morning, Claire.- Good morning.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Now, first up for the Reds, we've got this hanging box.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Whatever it's made of, it ain't rosewood.- No.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44I thought it might be what's loosely described as red walnut these days,
0:26:44 > 0:26:49which is an imported wood, used a lot in the latter part of the 19th century.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- I can see where the rosewood came from, because it's got that dark lining in it.- Hm.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's got quite a nice colour.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- And you'd keep, apparently... - Stationery, it would seem.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- It's unusual for stationery.- It is.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You don't hang them on the wall. They sit on the end of a desk.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- It looks like a salt box. - It really does.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Quite unusual. How much?
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- 30 to 50.- £45 paid. So they're slap-bang in there.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- There is some hope.- Yes.- Good.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Next is a rather lonely little milk jug.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Yes, just a single little jug.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27And it has been in the wars a bit. It has a few little dents in it. Little bit misshapen.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31It'd be nice if it had a sugar bowl, it could be called a strawberry set.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36- Yes.- It's nice and it's silver and it weighs reasonably well.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- How much?- 30 to 50.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43£45. Exactly the same as last time. We're getting into a rut!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46At least they're not straying out of the estimate, which is good.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Now, this slightly strange paper knife...
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- It's very heavy, isn't it? - It is very heavy.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It's actually quite nicely cast. I thought it might be French.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- It doesn't display terribly well.- No.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03And very heavy and a thick blade,
0:28:03 > 0:28:06not useful for undoing manila envelopes.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Not really. You'd have a job to slide the thing there.- You would.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Anyway, so not commercial, I wouldn't think.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Not terribly, I don't think.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- How commercial?- 30 to 50 again. - Not commercial enough.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- £105.- Right, OK.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24A stonking price which will torpedo them
0:28:24 > 0:28:26and mean they'll need their bonus buy.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Let's go and have a look at it!
0:28:28 > 0:28:32Ann and Denise, this is your moment for the leftover-lolly reveal.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36On what did Philip Serrell spend the £105 of leftover lolly we gave him?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Philip...
0:28:38 > 0:28:40BOTH: Oh!
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- I bought that. - That's small!- That's diddy!
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- It's beautiful.- Have a look. - It's quite cute.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- It's very pretty. - It's Royal Worcester.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52It was hand-painted in the 1930s by a man called Ernest Barker.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- Ernie Barker was a pupil of a man called Harry Davis.- BOTH: Right.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01Harry Davis was one of the best three ceramic painters of the 20th century and Ernie wasn't far behind him.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- I think that's a beautiful thing. - How much did you pay for it? - I paid £40 for it.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11If that doesn't make you a profit, that's the end of the world.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16It should make you between 50 and 100, and in a specialist sale £100 plus.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- Not profit, price.- No, no.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- It's absolutely beautiful. - We're hopeful?- Absolutely.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I think we're all in love with it. I think you've done very well.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I don't think there's a lot of choice.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's little plate.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Very pretty. Painted by Ernest Barker,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40who's known for painting sheep and flowers.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44I've found that this market has picked up a lot recently.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- The floral painted Worcester has started making better money. - Oh, good.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Just in time, I'd say.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Anyway, Philip Serrell paid £40. Will you be able to turn him a profit?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57I'd have thought so. I've estimated 60 to 90.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Ooh good!- I do hope so.
0:29:59 > 0:30:04Wouldn't that be marvellous if he could double his cash? If the team decide to go with it...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11First up is this so-called baguette box.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yes, I can see where that sort of comes from,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16but I'm not sure I'd keep baguettes in it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- I think it's ridiculous, don't you? - Yes!
0:30:19 > 0:30:21You'd have every known rodent...
0:30:21 > 0:30:27- Getting in there! - ..burrowing its way into the bottom to get at the crumbs!- Yes.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29What might it be?
0:30:29 > 0:30:33Maybe it was made for a shop. It's got a sloping top on it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35You could write on that,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- perhaps throw your waste in it or... - That's a good idea! - ..stack something in it?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43It's actually quite nicely made. It's not a bad item.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48OK, well, at least we've dreamt up a practical use for it, apart from bread!
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- But will it make any bread? - I have estimated 45 to 70.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- That's a good estimate. - A bit of a curious estimate.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00- I think it will appeal to somebody who likes quirky items.- Perfect.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- They paid 70, so that's all right. - That's fine.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Next is the Staffordshire water jug, which I think is absolutely hideous.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- I have to agree with you! - Doesn't appeal to me one scrap.- No.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13A few years ago, they used to sell quite well.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19There was a market for this decorative, moulded-type pottery.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- It doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid. - Well, tastes do change.- Indeed.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- So, how much do you think? - I've put 12 to 20 on it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32They paid 19, so not a big loss. It just happens to be hideous.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36But the last item is this gee-gee.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- People love horses, don't they? - They do indeed.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I didn't rate the quality of it, it's got a rather poor movement.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- It's white metal.- It is. - So cheap, speltery stuff.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It's made to look like bronze. It's got a bronzed finish.
0:31:49 > 0:31:55On the other hand, it all comes together and looks like 1920s or 1930s.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- It's got the horse and the tick-tock. How much?- 15 to 30.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03- Oh, dear. £50 they paid.- Oh, right. - That is a problem, actually.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It's their only predicted big loss and it may drag them down,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10so let's go and have a look at their bonus buy!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Now, Sally, Rhian, you gave Catherine Southon
0:32:13 > 0:32:16£141 to spend in the way of leftover lolly.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21- What did you spend it on? - Well, ladies, I have bought you...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23..this.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Ooh.- BOTH: Right...
0:32:27 > 0:32:33Cast-iron doorstop in the style of a rather proud lion.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Well, it's certainly useful. - I think so. Very useful.
0:32:37 > 0:32:43- I actually bought it, remember the chap that we bought the baguette box from?- From him?
0:32:43 > 0:32:48- We liked that stall. - He had really interesting items, so I went back and saw that.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- I thought you might have seen it. - I actually like that.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- I do like it. It's nearly a horse. - Well, it's a lion!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- And how much was he?- £48.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Really?!
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Oh.- I mean, "really!".
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- "Really" in what way? - I thought that was quite a lot.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- You think that's quite a lot? - Have you held it?- Yes.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Hold it and feel how heavy it is. Think of that.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Quite a lump, isn't it?- It is. - You'll drop it. Give it to me.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- How much would you pay for something like that?- Erm...
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Would you pay £10 for it?- Yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Would you pay £20? - I'd probably pay 20.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Would you pay 30?- No. - That's because it doesn't appeal.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Sally, what would you pay, sweetie? - Probably 20 to 30.- There you go.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- I thought you two would really like that.- BOTH: We do.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- What they don't like is the price. - They don't!
0:33:38 > 0:33:43- What they like is £20 to £30.- Right. - It's interesting, isn't it, to ask the question?
0:33:43 > 0:33:4620 to 30 is where it gets you in the tummy, not £48.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50You don't have to pick right now, pick after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:50 > 0:33:56But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's doorstop.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58This is pretty chunky ware.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- Yes. Good lump of cast iron.- Yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Victorian in style, but I think later in date.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Very standard, lion rampant. Not much you can say about it really.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Will you have a decent market for it?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Funnily enough, these sort of things do sell reasonably well.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- How much?- 40 to 70.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20£48 Catherine paid. It's her bonus buy. She rates it.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Not very girly, for a change. But there it is!
0:34:23 > 0:34:28- You'll stoop to any depth to make a profit on this programme, which is lovely.- Good.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- Profits is what we want, isn't it? - Absolutely.- Absolutely.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Are you excited about this process? - BOTH: Absolutely.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42It's good fun. Great day.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Now, the hanging box. £45 was paid. Her estimate is 30 to 50.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50So you're about in the bracket there.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55- The little cream jug... £45 paid. She's put 30 to 50.- Yes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Silver's well up, so you should be OK.- I hope so.- Good.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Then you've got that letter opener, which is beautifully made.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- 30 to 50.- Ooh, no!- Maybe...
0:35:04 > 0:35:10It cost you £105, Denise, so it maybe be a bit sticky here.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14First up is the little hanging stationery box. Here it comes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Lot 182 is a red walnut hanging box. There we are.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Nice little interior.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26I start straight in at £50. At £50. The bid's with me at 50.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Now five anywhere? At 50. Do I see five?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Nice little box. At £50. Are you all done at 50?
0:35:33 > 0:35:38- That is a miracle.- That's good. - Straight in. One bid, £50.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Lot 183 is the little silver cream jug. Birmingham 1909.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46I have to start at 45. I've got two bidders. 45 it is.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Start at 45.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Do I see 50 anywhere? At 45 for the little cream jug.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- At 45 it is.- Come on!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55At £45...
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- Wiped its face. £45. - We can live with that.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01No shame in that. Now, the letter opener...
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Bronze letter opener. The finial's cast in the form of a boy's head.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Rather French-looking, lot 184.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I've got £30.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- It's got to do more than that. - Come on!- Bid's with me at 30.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18At £30. At £30 it's going to be. All done. Selling here with me.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24- Ouch, girls. Ouch, ouch, ouch. - That is minus £75 at a stroke.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Which means overall, you're minus 70.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30What's your pick now? Are you going to go with the dish?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- 100 percent.- Most definitely! - We've discussed and agreed.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37188, a Royal Worcester pin dish,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40painted by Ernest Barker, a popular artist.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Start me at £50. - That's all right! Well done.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Thank you. 50 I have. At 50. Do I see five anywhere?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- Come on!- At 50. Now five. At £50. Now five?- Come on!
0:36:52 > 0:36:56At £50 it is, then. Are you all done at 50?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Ouch!- That really is...- You tried.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00It's plus £10.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05Her estimate was 60 to 90 on that and she sold it for 50.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Anyway, minus 60 is the final score.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11- Don't say a word to the Blues. Not a word, thank you!- No. No way!
0:37:23 > 0:37:26So, Sally, Rhian, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- Absolutely no idea.- No idea. - We don't want you to know.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33The baguette box, I talked through with the auctioneer.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38- We don't think it has anything to do with baguettes.- Really?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41We don't think bread has ever been stored in that box.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- What is it, then?- Not quite sure.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46But we don't think bread is the answer.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Her estimate is £45 to £70. You paid £70,
0:37:49 > 0:37:52so in her view, you'll be lucky to get there, but you might.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Then you've got the water jug.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57She's put £12 to £20 on that.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00You paid £19, so you're in the frame there.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Otherwise, you've got the equestrian timepiece.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07She put 15 to 30 on that. You paid 50.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12- So if there's one that's going to drag you down, according to her, it'll be the gee-gee.- My fault.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17First up, though, is the baguette box! Here it comes.
0:38:17 > 0:38:23Lot 204. I start this away, I have got £40 on it.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2645. At 45. Away in the alcove. 50.
0:38:26 > 0:38:32- Five. 60. Five. 70. - He's a baker. You can tell.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Don't stop. 75. 80. - You're in profit, kids.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Lady's bid at £80. Do I see five anywhere?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42At £80 it is, then. Are you all done? Selling at £80.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- Wow.- That was really good. - Plus £10, that's wholemeal.
0:38:46 > 0:38:53Lot 205, the Staffordshire water jug with the Indian Tree decoration.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58- I start this one straight in at £15. At £15.- Come on, please!
0:38:58 > 0:39:0118 in the room. Now 20 anywhere? At £18 it is, then.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06- We want a little bit more. - Are you all done? Selling at £18.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Oh, please!- Oh, puhlease!
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- That's minus £1.- What did we pay? - 19.- Oh, that's OK.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17206 is the timepiece, surmounted by the figure of a horse.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22I start straight in at £35. At 35 for the timepiece.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25At 35 it's going to be, then. Are you all sure?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Selling to my bidder at £35.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32- £35 is minus 15, which is minus 16...- Oh, dear!
0:39:32 > 0:39:35..which is minus six overall.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- What are you going to do with the doorstop?- Minus six we're at...
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- It could be a winning score. - It could be, but it's negligible.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45What do you mean?! It could make the difference.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- Minus six...- Yes, I know. I think we should go with it.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51Do you?
0:39:51 > 0:39:55- But we haven't made a huge loss. - We've not made a profit!
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- No, no, but - - They could've made a bigger loss.
0:39:57 > 0:40:03- Yes, but I want to make a profit... - Oh, dear.- ..to be honest.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- See, we cannot agree to agree. - You can't. I'm staying out of it!
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- We have a difference of opinion. - We do.- It depends on whether you want to win the programme.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18- I don't mind, I just want to be better -- I do! - Well, it would be nice, but I think -
0:40:18 > 0:40:22- What are the chances of making a profit out of that? Quickly. - Probably very little.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- In which case -- No, we go with it! - You're not going with it? - No, we are.- You are?
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- She wants to.- We're going with it. - We're going with it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35Cast-iron doorstop in the form of the lion rampant.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Lot 210. Who'll start me away on this one, please? £30 anywhere for it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- 20 to get it going, then.- Oh, God. - Uh-oh.
0:40:43 > 0:40:44I knew it!
0:40:44 > 0:40:47£20? Anyone? Well, £10, surely?
0:40:47 > 0:40:49For crying out loud!
0:40:49 > 0:40:51£10.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- At £10. Do I see 12? - I knew it!- I told you!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- 15.- It's your fault.
0:40:57 > 0:41:0015 it is at the back there, then. At 15.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03I told you I was right. You lost us the game.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05It's going to sell for £15.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Minus £33 on that.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- Dreadfully sorry!- Minus £39 overall.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- I'm sorry. - Minus £39 could be a winning score.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- Do not despair.- No.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- But we'd have been better off before.- I know.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25- It doesn't matter. What's done is done.- Yes. - Minus £39 could be a winning score.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Don't despair. All will be revealed in just a moment.- OK.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So, have you teams been chatting at all?
0:41:39 > 0:41:40- ALL: No.- Jolly good.
0:41:40 > 0:41:46It's no secret to the teams, nor the audience, that you both made substantial losses,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49it's just a question of the scale of these losses.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53The team that's ahead on the losses stakes is...
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- ..the Reds. - THEY GROAN
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Sorry about that. Minus £60 is your score.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03It started out very nicely with Phil's box, with a plus-£5 score,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06and it deteriorated until the man's bonus buy,
0:42:06 > 0:42:10when he gave you back a £10-profit on the bit of Worcester.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14Nevertheless, minus £60 is, I'm afraid, the runner's-up score.
0:42:14 > 0:42:20- But the victors today, who managed to win by losing only £39, are the girls.- BOTH: Yes!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- How do you feel about that? Better? - Great!- Good.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27It would've been nice to win by a profit, but by a loss is the next best thing.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Absolutely right. You started off with the so-called baguette box so beautifully
0:42:32 > 0:42:34with a plus-£10 number.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And then it went down the proverbial a bit, didn't it?
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- A little bit.- Just a little.- A lot. - You went with the bonus buy and that added to the whatnot.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45But going with the bonus buy made no difference to the end result.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49You are the victors today and you should walk tall, girls.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting! Yes?- ALL: Yes!
