0:00:04 > 0:00:06What do you do when you're in
0:00:06 > 0:00:09one of the world's most famous antique markets?
0:00:09 > 0:00:13What you do is, go bargain hunting! That's what you do.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44Today, we're in west London
0:00:44 > 0:00:46with our Red and Blue teams,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50who are about to do battle with these massive crowds,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53here at Portobello Road.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56So, stand by, and let's see what's coming up.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The glamorous Reds are hard to please.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- OK!- Next.- Not us.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Anything catching your eyes here, girls?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- No, not me. You?- No.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13No? Come on, then.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17I really don't know which direction to point them in.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20They know what they want, and they can't see it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23The Blues get in a spin as time runs out.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Was it that way?- Was it this way? - This way.- Was it?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- We've got five minutes.- I know. We are truly panicking now!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Woah!- Watch the cars.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41But that is all to come. First, I must remind you of the rules.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Each team gets £300, and an hour to shop for three objects,
0:01:44 > 0:01:45which they sell later at auction.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48The team wins that makes the biggest profit. Got it?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Right. Let's go and meet today's teams.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I feel a bit of a vintage retro feel coming on.
0:02:01 > 0:02:07Because for the Reds today, we have friends Harriet and Amy.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09For the Blues, we have Janeka and Duncan. Welcome!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- ALL: Hello! - Lovely to see you guys, and girls.
0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Harriet, how did you two meet? - On the first day of university, I spotted her in vintage clothes,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20and thought, "We have to be friends".
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Were you wearing vintage clothes?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I was. I marched over, and was like,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- "I like your bag." - What did she say? "I like your hat"? - Something along those lines.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31It's been a mutual admiration society ever since?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36It has. We started a blog. We write together, do everything together.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37So, Harriet,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40when you're not blogging with Amy, what do you get up to?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Recently started working
0:02:42 > 0:02:44as a freelance seamstress.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46If you're keen on retro clothing,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49being able to sew is jolly good, isn't it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Cos you can do your own alterations.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52It is VERY handy.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56You end up finding a hole, or ripping a seam every time you wear something,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so it's very handy to be able to fix it yourself.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- I think you look marvellous.- Thanks!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Amy, what do you do with yourself? - I'm a keen swing dancer.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Is this Glenn Miller, and that kind of thing?- Yeah, the jazz era.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Are you studying at the moment? - Literature and creative writing.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13When you're not studying, what do you get up to?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I also work as a corsetry assistant,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20and I spend my time taking inches off many attractive ladies.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22You're giving them the squeeze?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Literally taking about four inches off their waist,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26maybe anything up to eight.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30That's interesting. What about your strategy?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Are you going to buy just vintage, retro items?- The strategy is,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35we want to get something macabre and creepy.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Oh, do you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yes. Then something quite glamorous.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42The third item will be random, whatever we see.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Good luck with that. - BOTH: Thank you!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So, you two. How did YOU meet, then?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52We met on the dancefloor, of swing dancing.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Don't tell me you're swingers too?! - We're all swingers here.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57I don't believe it!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- Have you met each other before today?- No.- No.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03So, you met when dancing?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Yes.- Did he take you in his arms,
0:04:05 > 0:04:10and that was it, "Caramba!", Janeka?
0:04:10 > 0:04:15No. Our paths just kept crossing, on the swing dancing scene,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18and eventually, he wore me down, I guess.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- HE LAUGHS - I'm only kidding. Of course not.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Many a dance partner's said that to me before.- That's sweet.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27What do you collect, old fruit?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Apart from my vintage 1930s and '40s men's clothing,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I have an extensive collection of 78rpm shellac records
0:04:34 > 0:04:36of the late '20s
0:04:36 > 0:04:38to the early '40s.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40So, Janeka, you're obviously a vintage fan too?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I am a HUGE vintage fan.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Apart from dressing up in old clothes,
0:04:44 > 0:04:45what do you do for a living?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'm A PA in a property company, in London.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Do you wear your vintage clothes to work?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53No. I think that might raise some eyebrows.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56How do you two think you'll perform today
0:04:56 > 0:04:59against our dynamic duo of the Reds? Are you scared?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- We ARE a bit scared. - Shaking in your boots?- A little bit.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05They look quite intimidating there, don't they,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07these kids?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Next up is the money moment. Here's your £300 apiece.
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Thank you very much.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Off you go! Very, very, very good luck!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20We are going to have a dynamic day today, I tell you!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Today, the Reds receive expert advice
0:05:23 > 0:05:25from the queen of bling herself,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Anita Manning.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29And who's this?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31The king of swing.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33The inimitable Mr Charles Hanson.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37The original Jive Bunny will be sharing his expert moves and advice
0:05:37 > 0:05:39with today's Blues.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Ooh.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42What lovely movers!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What's the plan, then? What are you after?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Something really stylish. - Something interesting.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- A decent amount of money.- Yeah. - Leave you a little bit at the end.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I thought we'd get things which are quite stunning.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- So, we're going retro? - Oh, definitely!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03So, the Blues are going retro.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Surprise, surprise(!)
0:06:04 > 0:06:07We're being timed. Come on, guys!
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Whereas the Reds aren't going anywhere.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It's packed! Elbows out, lads!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Cameras were the essence of what, the '40s, '30s?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Yeah!- Some of these hand-held bellows cameras,
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I think these are really collectible.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23They're reasonably priced, between £30 and £45.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Is it worth a go, Duncan? Look at me!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Straight in the eyes, I'd say no.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I think let's keep hunting, OK? - OK.- I think so.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Let's just go round here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- OK.- Round the bend?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'm already round the bend!
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Do you mind if I...?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51There's something I've never seen before. What would it be used for?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53VENDOR: It's a silver purse.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Oh, right! There's leather on the inside.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- That's lovely, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Do you think that leatherwork's original?- Absolutely!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You can see the old dirt, where fingers have taken out money,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06or a note, or a card.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- It's in really nice condition. - Solid silver?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11There's your all-important hallmark.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13That's the lion passant, facing left,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- so we know it's sterling silver.- OK. - So, it's 92.5% pure.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20On the other side it might tell you...
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's probably Edwardian, or 1915, the date.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26It's a good hallmark, as Chester now don't hallmark silver.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27It has added silver value.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- What do you think?- I like it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33A small indentation. Look at the condition, OK?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34How much is it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37It's on at... What's your best offer on it?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40What's on the ticket price?
0:07:40 > 0:07:4295.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I could probably do a bit better
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Could you do 75?- No.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52THEY LAUGH What about 80?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- I'd take 80, yeah.- You would?- Yeah.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- That would be good. - What do you think?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58You ARE dressed to impress.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Would this purse satisfy you, as an accessory, at £80?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It would satisfy ME at £80. - Really?- Yes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I think we should do it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07£2 off?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09£80.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- 78, now, cash.- Cash.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- It WILL be cash. - It will be.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- 78?- I think it's a great accessory. I think it's a wonderful thing.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20To buy a silver purse in London, at £78,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24today, or back in 1915, isn't a bad price.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25I think it's very good.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Thank you very much. - Deal. Thank you.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31The Blues are off the mark with a stylish accessory.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Talking of style, how are the Reds getting on?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Oh, the silhouettes, Amy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Yeah, I love silhouettes. - Those are lovely.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- £80 a pair.- For the pair?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I don't know. Maybe we should ask Anita.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45BOTH: Anita!
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- What do you think of these? - Oh, miniatures!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52You like those?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55We're making ones of us at the moment, so they're quite fitting.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59Are they as good as these, or are these as good as yours?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01These are probably better.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Before the time of photography,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06people could only look at drawn images,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09or drawn portraits of their friends and families.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11These are cut-outs, from an image.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13They probably will be
0:09:13 > 0:09:16mid to late 19th century.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Now, that type of thing is still popular,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22so I think you've made quite a nice choice,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24but I want you to tell me why YOU like them.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26They're quite creepy.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28You like them because they're creepy?!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- Yeah!- So, we've got macabre.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34They're also nice and hand-made as well,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- and we're into things like crafting. - Crafting, yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I really like them, but I'm worried about the price.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Have you spoken to the...? - We have not!
0:09:42 > 0:09:43< You can get them for 70.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44- BOTH:- 70?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46What d'you think?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50These are collectible, and I think they're a good choice.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53They're not too dear at £80 for two.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Could we go to 60 for the two? - VENDOR: 65?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Let's take them for £65.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Do you realise you were supposed to have said, "How about £62?"
0:10:00 > 0:10:02SHE LAUGHS
0:10:02 > 0:10:05We're not THAT mean. We know a fair price when we see it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It may be a fair price,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10but will it be a winning price?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Only time will tell.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So, guys, there's all sorts here.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Some glassware.- There's even some records, shaped into bowls.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24As a record collector, I don't like to see that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27You could say no record should go to waste.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It must be bad music, when they do that to it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's probably Vera Lynn or something.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33THEY LAUGH
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I love Vera Lynn! That's typically 1940s, isn't it, Janeka?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That's outrageous!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It's a slur on great music, I know.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42But I had to say it!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Come on!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Hey, leave our Dame Vera alone.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48She's a national treasure, you know!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- OK!- Next.- Not us!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Is there an "us" on here?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55BOTH: No.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58We're very particular. We know what we like.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Anything that's catching your eyes here, girls?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Not, not me. You?- No.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Come on, then.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11That old cake stand is nice.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Beautiful, but who needs cake stands now, apart from us?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- People who eat cakes. - Let's move on. Go, go, go, go, go!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Anita has her hands full with those Reds.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21They've got high standards.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24How's young Charles going?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27We're switched on. We're firing on cylinders.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I have a team who are madly passionate about 1930s, '40s.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I am as well. I'm feeling really confident.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39There are some wonderful things you can still discover
0:11:39 > 0:11:41at Portobello.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Take these little fellas, for example.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Looks bit like a pair of scissors, don't they?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49And it does have a scissor action.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Indeed, the design includes
0:11:51 > 0:11:54two loops of solid silver
0:11:54 > 0:11:57applied onto a plated base.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Those loops have been finely reeded
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and are reminiscent of the work of the Birmingham silversmith,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Matthew Boulton.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06The two loops are conjoined at a wee disc,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08which is also solid silver,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and that's been engraved with an armorial device.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14In front of that, we've got a domed, coffin-like box.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And in front of that, a pointy bit.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Because this thing is a pair of candle snuffers.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22In the 18th century, if you were burning a candle,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24it would tend to "gutter",
0:12:24 > 0:12:27which means that the wick in the candle
0:12:27 > 0:12:30didn't naturally disappear,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33which is what a modern candle would do.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It hung around
0:12:35 > 0:12:37and needed trimming.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Which is where this thing is so clever.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41If I open up the scissor action,
0:12:41 > 0:12:45you can see the snuffer arm comes out, like that,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48until you hear a click.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Then when I close the scissor action,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54a curious guillotine plate rises up,
0:12:54 > 0:12:58until we've trapped the wick inside that plate,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and a little bit further it goes...
0:13:01 > 0:13:02The guillotine falls.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05It exactly trims the wick
0:13:05 > 0:13:07in the correct position.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Then you take it away from the candle
0:13:10 > 0:13:11and can use the pointy bit
0:13:11 > 0:13:14to straighten up the remnants of the wick,
0:13:14 > 0:13:17ready for it to be lit again.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Clever, hey? What's the thing worth?
0:13:19 > 0:13:24Well, it could be yours today, here, at Portobello, for £60.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Is that expensive? Not really.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30£100 to £150 in a specialist silver sale,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32easy.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Time's marching on, but the Reds seem relaxed.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I wish I could say the same for Anita.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40We don't know what we want to buy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- We need to head down and look at some more stalls. When we see it, we'll know.- Definitely.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I really don't know which direction to point them in
0:13:50 > 0:13:53because they know what they want and they can't see it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55We're going to have to carry on.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Only 25, 30 minutes left.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Got to go. Got to help them.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You get to it, girl. Go rescue those Reds, Anita.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06You need to tell them it's a competition.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Cufflinks and jewellery things here. - They're quite nice, aren't they?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- May I look at...- Those?- Yes, those.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Nice box.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- The box is from Winchester. - There's a mark.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- There IS a mark there. - Where's my eyeglass? - You're going to need it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- They're nice, aren't they? They're Birmingham.- Lovely.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30And they would date to around 1900, aren't they?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32About 1885, 1890.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I quite like them. I like their box especially.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Look at that lovely, chaste ornament, Janeka. - That IS nice. But what about this?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Is that mother-of-pearl? - That's mother-of-pearl.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48With a tiny lapis lazuli, or little sapphire style of droplets.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50They're really stylish cufflinks.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52They're nice.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- How much are they, madam? - The best?- Yeah.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- The best?- The best.
0:14:56 > 0:14:5775.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I think that's quite good.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I would guide them between 40 and 60,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and hopefully they might make 80 or 90.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- So, it would be a bit of a risk? - Yes, it would be.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Name your very, very best price, madam.
0:15:09 > 0:15:1070.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- BOTH:- 70? - No less.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16I think they're beautiful and I would pay that,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18but at £70? This is the thing.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Are we in it to win it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- Guys, think about it.- Yeah. - I gave you my thoughts.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Thank you.- I'm over here, OK? Think about it.- OK.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30So, the Blues are in it to win it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34They've rejected the cufflinks. They want retro.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36They're pourers as well.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- You put this into the bottle. - Absolutely. - Take this off when you pour.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- They're really bold, aren't they? - They really are.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- What, 19...?- '50s.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Looks like '50s.- The colours are the '50s, aren't they?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Are they Bakelite, or are they enamel?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Give them a little chew. Are they quite hard?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Feels almost glass-like. - Yeah, enamel on porcelain.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Wonderful. What are they? Just purely stoppers?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04And pourers. See? You take this top off.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- And then you can pour through the... - I never knew that! - They're fantastic.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- I've never seen anything like that. - They're neat.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12I think they're what we're after.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15They're a bit quirky. They're of an era we know about.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- They're bold.- Very bold.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20And they're houseware, which we we're quite interested in.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Something people used regularly in the cocktail cabinet, in the '50s.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Yeah. - What's your best price on them?
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Best on them would be £60.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28- 60?- Yeah.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- And your very, very best? - It IS the very, very best.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- I think they're great, and they're bold. Be bold.- Yeah!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It'll be a real chance,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40but if you really want them, go for it.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- It'll be nice to see if anyone else likes them too.- Let's do it.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Your buy?- Yes.- Your choice. - Let's do it.- Thank you, sir.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Just ten minutes left.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Anita needs to get those girls buying!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Anita, I love these dolls.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- Oh, my God! That one's so creepy!- Yeah!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00The dolls are a wee bit scary.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- We love dolls.- Yeah, we love those. Those are brilliant.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- Harriet has a big collection.- A collection?- I want them for myself.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Are there any there which terrify you?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- No. We want one with a pretty porcelain face.- Give us that one out.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- She's VERY expensive. - This is a German doll.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19The Germans were great doll makers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Oh, I love her. She's a flapper. - Look how scary she is.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- She's a slapper?! - BOTH: She's a flapper!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28220, though.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30This is the one the girls like the best.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- But they can't afford that one. - We could come down in price.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37How much is it marked?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40You've got "£220" written. We haven't got a lot of money.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42This is only our second buy.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I can come down to...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46160...160?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- What do you think of the doll, Harriet?- I love her.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- I'm just worried about the price. - She's so beautiful.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- We'll leave that. We know that we do like that one.- We do like her.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- But it's maybe too dear at 160. - Mm-hm.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04I like the one over there in the paisley print dress.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- She's lovely!- She is! - Tell me why you like her.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Her dress. I want it!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Have a look at her knees! - So, she moves!
0:18:14 > 0:18:15It's made of leather.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17She's even more expensive than this one.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Yes. 230.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21See this one here?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Could you come to round about 130 on that?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Can you go 150, or no?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29140? All right. I'll do that.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Shall we take her for 140?- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- Do you love her?- BOTH: We love her! - Let's go for it.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Maybe if we present them at the auction,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- somebody will buy it!- Buy it, yeah!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Do a little dance!- Yeah.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44A German doll makes it two for the Reds.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Not much time left. Get your skates on, Blues!
0:18:47 > 0:18:48But no panic buy.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50The cufflinks are back in the fray.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Which one of these ladies was selling the cufflinks?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- It was one of those. - We need to know which one.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- It's that lady there.- Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59- We've got five minutes.- I know.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- We are truly panicking now. - Watch the cars.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Don't panic, Mainwaring!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Focus. Focus.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09We don't have an awful lot of time.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Is there anything that you can see, girls?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I just noticed this compact in here.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Could we have a look, please? Thank you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21The person who sold it to me said it was tortoiseshell,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24but I think you're right, it's only plastic.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Yeah. Maybe it smells of formulide.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Give it a rub with your thumb.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- It's an early plastic... - BOTH: That's Bakelite.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Isn't that super?- I love it.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I think old plastics are in vogue. It's a shame it's a bit damaged.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Try the different things, see if they all open.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47It's £48 at the moment, but the lady priced it up as tortoiseshell.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- OK.- So... I'll take it down to 38.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50You can do 38? Yes.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52What d'you think?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55If it was in perfect condition, but because it's damaged...
0:19:55 > 0:19:59It's not damaged, so much as it's need of some repair.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Tender loving care.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- I'll go for 30, then. - I think for 30, it looks good.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05What do you think, Anita?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- I think that that is just you.- Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12We've got the macabre, and I think that that's the glamour.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Right, OK. - That means we have fulfilled...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18We've fulfilled our purpose.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19All the goals.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21So, who'd have thought it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25That's all three items purchased for the Reds and they've finished shopping.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29But the Blues are still trying to find the cufflink stall.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- Where has she gone?- With a case and cufflinks. Was it that way? - Or was it this way?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38The serene Reds have been skilfully steered across the finish line
0:20:38 > 0:20:40by Anita, but those Blues are still hopping around.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44We are still interested in those mother of pearl silver earrings.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Earrings?- Cufflinks! - You don't even know what it is!
0:20:48 > 0:20:54- We'd only be able to offer 65? - I can't. £70?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55THEY LAUGH
0:20:55 > 0:20:57You are a hard woman!
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- I think we've met our match. - I think we have!
0:21:01 > 0:21:05In a sale room they could make £100. It's a real gamble, but don't worry.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Leave me all that leftover money and I'll make your day.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- You'll make it up? - We need you to rescue us if need be.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Yes, absolutely, but these are great. It's up to you.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I think we should do it. - I think we should just do it, too.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- OK. We'll take them, thank you. - Thank you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Right, time's up
0:21:22 > 0:21:27and the missing link proves to be a final purchase for the Blues.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31With the shopping time over, here's a brief reminder of what the Red team bought.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33The Reds spent £65 on a pair of Victorian silhouettes
0:21:33 > 0:21:36in original frames.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43They forked out £140 on a 1920s French porcelain doll.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49And finally, for a faux tortoiseshell compact case,
0:21:49 > 0:21:51they paid a compact £30.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- OK, how much did you spend all round?- 235.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00235 you spent, so please may I have £65 of leftover lolly? Thank you.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03£65, that's good, check, check, check.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Straight across to the lovely Anita. What are you going to spend the £65 on?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Well, I think it's going to have to be something glamorous.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Well, anything selected by you, I am sure, will be perfect.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Anyway, good luck with that, Anita. Meanwhile,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25A George V silver purse set them back £78.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30They paid £60 for a set of 1950s bottle stoppers.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36This pair of Victorian silver cufflinks cost them £70.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Now, how much did you spend over all?- £208.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46That's a very mature amount of money. So I would like, please, £92
0:22:46 > 0:22:53- of leftover lolly.- There we go, sir. - £92 which goes straight across to young Charles here.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Thank you very much. Tim, we really bought with passion,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00romance. We bought what my team are all about - a style and period.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- So I'll continue in that vein and go floral and chintzy.- Are you?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Yes.- Sound good to me!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Well, that will suit you down to the ground then, Charles!
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Anyway, good luck, good luck! Meanwhile, we are heading off somewhere divine.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17It's called Fenton House and it's not too far from here.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31I'm on the balcony at Fenton House in Hampstead
0:23:31 > 0:23:35where you get the most beautiful view of London.
0:23:35 > 0:23:42Isn't that beautiful? Framed by the simplicity and elegance of trees.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45And it's the product of trees that I'm going to talk to you about
0:23:45 > 0:23:50in the house today. Wooden musical instruments.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55Ha-ha! Well, if that strikes the right chord, then follow me.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02Fenton House has an amazing collection of early keyboard instruments.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It was put together by George Henry Benton Fletcher
0:24:06 > 0:24:08in the early 20th century.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Very little of the provenance of these instruments is documented,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15but most were probably acquired at auction. No receipts survive,
0:24:15 > 0:24:19but it is said that he never paid any more than £20 for an instrument.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Now, one of the rarest and certainly the earliest English stringed
0:24:26 > 0:24:29instrument in the collection is this fellow.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Which, on the face of it, looks like a bit of a boring,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36coffin-like, sombre box.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42But if I open up these hasps, and I have to do this pretty carefully,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46because the interior really is spectacular.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52We lower that front board to reveal a painted surface.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57And then carefully lift up the lid,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01which once upon a time was coffered and curved
0:25:01 > 0:25:06to reveal a stringed instrument, known as a set of virginals.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11For a kick-off, the inside is painted, naively,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15with an elaborate landscape, and because the lid has been reduced
0:25:15 > 0:25:19from a curved surface to a flat surface,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22slivers of timber have been lost
0:25:22 > 0:25:27and, for example, that horseman has lost a slice of his head.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29All of which adds to its charm.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33On the jack rail here, you can see it's inscribed,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38"Robertus," Robert, "Hatley, Londini," London,
0:25:38 > 0:25:42"fecit," made, "1664."
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Now, if I remove the jack rail,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50we can see the end of all these little fellows called jacks.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Now, if I play a note, and depress a key,
0:25:54 > 0:25:57that little jack pops up and makes a noise.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03He makes a noise by plucking a string.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07And having raised the jack, if I take it out,
0:26:07 > 0:26:12you can see that the jack is simply made of a thin piece of wood
0:26:12 > 0:26:15and inside that is a white piece of wood,
0:26:15 > 0:26:17which is probably holly,
0:26:17 > 0:26:23and attached to the holly is that little black tooth-like thing,
0:26:23 > 0:26:27which is part of the spine of the quill of a feather,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and that little piece of quill
0:26:31 > 0:26:33is the piece that plucks the string.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38But the clever bit is, to keep that perfectly pert
0:26:38 > 0:26:41and in position to pluck,
0:26:41 > 0:26:46on the back of the piece of holly is another filament,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50and that is a bit of bristle from a boar's back.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Ha!
0:26:51 > 0:26:53And that little bit of bristle is the spring,
0:26:53 > 0:26:57if you like, that keeps the piece of holly vertical,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00in the right place for that little pluck to happen.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03This is what you call marvellous.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Now, time to find out
0:27:09 > 0:27:13whether the auction can string some profits together for today's teams.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15We're in the company of Stephen Hearn
0:27:15 > 0:27:18at Tring market auctions.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- Good morning, Steve. - Good morning.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22Great pleasure to be in Tring.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Now, for the Red team, their first item are these two cut-out silhouettes.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- How do you rate those?- Not too well.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31The condition is a little bit untidy.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- If they had been painted, different story altogether.- Yes.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- How much, then?- 40 or £50.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39They paid 65. That's a bit tight, isn't it?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Well, moving on neatly, then, to the old doll.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46They have to be pretty special when it comes to the condition
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- and the original manufacturer, don't they? - Yes, a little bit grubby.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52OK, so what sort of estimate are we likely to have for that?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, I would like to have said 120, 150,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- but I'm going to say 90-120. - OK, because the team paid £140
0:27:59 > 0:28:01and they hope to get a result on that.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Anyway, lastly for this faux tortoiseshell make-up cabinet.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- Yes, faux, plastic.- Yes, nice work for plastic.- Plastic.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11The hinge has got problems, too.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Otherwise, you know, it's a period piece, isn't it?- Of course it is.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18And if you were obsessed with the 1930s and 1940s,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- it's a must-have object. - Must have for young ladies.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25It won't be any good to you and me unless we take up make-up.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Anyway, overall, I fancy if the doll doesn't do what it's supposed to do,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Now, Harriet, Amy. Gosh, you're looking gorgeous.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39You've changed your entire style. Where did you get that cloche hat?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- From a charity shop.- Charity shop.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- And how much did you spend in the charity shop?- I paid £17 for it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Do you think you'd get a profit on it?- I'd never sell it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- You'd never sell it? - No, it's my favourite one.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56That is your loyalty to vintage clothing indeed. Anyway, you two petals,
0:28:56 > 0:29:01you spent £235 and you gave the lovely Anita 65 smackers.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Anita, what did you spend it on? - When I saw this little item,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09- I just couldn't resist it. - How about that!
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I have a blonde and a brunette,
0:29:11 > 0:29:15and it did remind me of Harriet and Amy.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- I love it.- Me too. It's pretty perfect.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21It's from between 1930 and 1937.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24It was made by Crown Devon.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29And it has this cellulose finish, which, at that time,
0:29:29 > 0:29:34was a very shiny finish, meant to look like the finish on a motor car.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- Do you like it?- I love it. - It's brilliant.- It's pretty us.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40That's what I thought.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41It was just you.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43And I paid £65 for it.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45(Ask her how much she thinks it'll bring.)
0:29:45 > 0:29:47How much is it going to bring?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I think it could do around about 80.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52We CAN make a profit on it.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57I think you deserve a prize for finding something so appropriate for our two lovely girls.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:29:58 > 0:30:03let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's group.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05How about that?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Can you smell 40 fags a day being smoked
0:30:07 > 0:30:09in the vicinity of this thing?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Perhaps a few more.- All that orange stuff is fag smoke, isn't it?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Yes, it's been discoloured by the nicotine, but, again,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20this is representative of the '30s, isn't it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Possibly purchased by someone who had limited resources at the time.- Yes.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26We've still got the original label on the bottom of it.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- We haven't got any damage as such, but...- Evocative of the period.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- As I describe, a good windowsill piece.- Yes, good windowsill...
0:30:33 > 0:30:36That's a nice description. I must hang onto that one.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41- Anyway, what do you think, as a bonus buy, it might make?- £40-£60.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46- Or even 50 to 80?- Well, yes, yes. - £65 was paid by Anita.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Well, let's be hopeful for Anita, then.- OK, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Now for the Blues.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55First up for them is a pretty traditional piece of silver -
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- the purse.- Well, yes, it's going to benefit from the silver trade.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It looks as though it's had a violent clean.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- You've got a big dink on the bottom of it as well.- Yes.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08And when you do open that purse, it's a little bit scruffy inside.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09What do you think it might bring?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Close to 100 but possibly £80 or £90.- Very good.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Well, Duncan and Janeka only paid £78,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20so they'll be delighted with any upside you can produce.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Next up is the bottle stoppers in their original box,
0:31:23 > 0:31:27so how do you rate those? Difficult to value, aren't they?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- We might get a little more interest than expected on those. - Right, but your estimate is £30-£40.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Do you think they might get towards 50?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37- Yes, I wasn't being very generous. - Don't let me put words in your mouth.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I think they could go over £50.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43They paid 60, actually, so even at £50, they're making a loss.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Still, we'll see what happens.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48And their last item for Duncan and Janeka are these cufflinks.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- They would fit in well with modern costume.- They would.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54And if a cufflink can be attractive, they are,
0:31:54 > 0:31:59and I think if you're talking value on them, we could be £80, possibly, for them.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Well, they paid 70.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I don't think they're going to need their bonus buy
0:32:03 > 0:32:06but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Now, Duncan, Janeka, how are you, all right?- Yes.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Great.- Now, are you excited about this?- Yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16What could Charles Hanson possibly have spent your £92 leftover lolly on?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Just look at this.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- That really is nice.- Do you like it? - I love it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24- I really like it.- What we've got here is only part of the ensemble.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Namely, we have 16 parts making up this wonderful little tea set.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33I think it's wonderful because it's laborious, it's hand-painted,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37its Japanese, and it's about 120 years old,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and what you get for your money in terms of quality, this is it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Have a handle.- That's really nice, what do you think?- I really like it.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- I love the two-tone effect, and this is actually handpainted?- It is.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We have five cups and saucers,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51sugar bowl and cover,
0:32:51 > 0:32:55and a small little milk jug, and this wonderful coffee or teapot.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- It's wonderful. What did you pay for it?- Well, we have no change.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03It was my license to thrill you, and I spent the entire lot.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- £92?- Correct.- The whole lot, Charles?- The whole lot.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Now, that's called Satsuma, isn't it?- It is.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- Nothing to do with the oranges.- OK. - A description of the earthenware type and this elaborate decoration.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Very often very elaborately decorated, isn't it, Charles?
0:33:18 > 0:33:19There were some wonderful artists.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Yabu Meizan, Kinkozan, important names that can fetch many thousands, but this is more middle rate,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28but the quality and the attention to detail
0:33:28 > 0:33:30really puts it at a fine level.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34I would guide it happily between...
0:33:34 > 0:33:3580 and 120.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40And with the wind blowing, I feel that's a fairly realistic guide.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- We'll see, won't we?- Anyway,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46we have two extremely stylish contestants in the Blue team today
0:33:46 > 0:33:49who are clearly intrigued by a stylish object
0:33:49 > 0:33:55- produced by Charles, so that's all a very successful package.- I hope so too.- Congratulations on that so far.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00But for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' coffee set.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Well, they're colourful, aren't they?
0:34:02 > 0:34:07- This is just three bits of the 16 in the set.- It's a nice set.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Good dense decoration to them and the quality is good.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13The gilding is good. There's little rubbing on it
0:34:13 > 0:34:17and they are of the quality where they could be split
0:34:17 > 0:34:19and this one will split into different lots,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21which is going to help with its value.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Well, what's your estimate?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Well, I would be very disappointed
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- if I don't go over the top of 120, possibly over 150 for it.- Really?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Because the clever Charles Hanson only paid £92 for it,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- which is cool, isn't it? - Very good.- I mean, really cool.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40There's a potential there for a considerable profit
0:34:40 > 0:34:42if the team go with it. Are you taking the auction today?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- I will be, yes. - Jolly good, we're in safe hands.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49At 30 I bid, at 40 now.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Now, Harriet and Amy, how are you feeling?
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Excited.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55Not nervous at all, are you?
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Er, a little bit!- Little bit.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Ah. Is there any piece you wish you hadn't bought?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04We wish we didn't buy the doll because we love it so much.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05We don't want to sell it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07You're not worried about the price at all?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10We're worried about all the prices. It's too late for that.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Anyway, first up are the silhouettes, and here they come.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Little silhouettes, little cut-out ones,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19you'll find a little place for those somewhere next to that fireplace.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21There you go, what about £50 for them?
0:35:21 > 0:35:2330? Are you 20?
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Go on!
0:35:24 > 0:35:2715 I'm bid? 18? Are you 20? I'm bid.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Five I've got, it's two of you.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3130 at the very back. 30 we're bid.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Five now then, Madam? No?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35At £30 then I shall sell them.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Oh no.- Boo!
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£30 then.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44£30 sold. I think £30. £30 is minus £35. That's not so hot, is it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Oh dear, cherubs.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49We have the little French dolly, there it is.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52What about that? Rather nice little Paris doll there.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Will we pay £100 for her?
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I would've thought so. £100 for her, or £50. I have 50 for her.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59This is going to have to...
0:35:59 > 0:36:0160 I am bid. 70 bid. 80 bid.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Are you 90? At £80?
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Go on!
0:36:04 > 0:36:0590 anywhere?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07She's beautiful!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10£80. At 80. That's it I do believe at £80.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I don't like the look of this, girls.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£80. Thank you very much.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Oh no. £80. That's minus £60.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Minus 95.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22LAUGHTER
0:36:22 > 0:36:26One for the ladies. Well, I don't know these days.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30The faux tortoise shell compact, nice little one for someone.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32£30 for someone. Are you giving me 20 for it?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35£20 now I'm bid 20, and five now.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Those estimates, 40 to 60.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Yes, sir. At £20. Thank you very much.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Minus £10. That means overall you're minus 105.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Amazing.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47That is quite a disaster, isn't it.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50But Tim, the girls bought things that they loved.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- Yeah. - That's true, and I love them too.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56You'd never make any money on Portobello Road, come on now.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57LAUGHTER
0:36:57 > 0:37:01What are you going to do about this Crown Devon deco figure?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- Let's go for it!- We'll go for it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04We can't get any worse!
0:37:04 > 0:37:07You're a couple of punters! So we're going to go with the bonus buy?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Yeah! - We're going with the balloon girls.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Now we go back to Crown Devon, a little piece of Crown Devon.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18There it is, typifies the 1930s, doesn't it?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Interesting figure, that one. I should think possibly £50 for it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24What about 30? 20 for it?
0:37:24 > 0:37:27That's a start. 25, 30. I'm bid. 40 I'm bid.
0:37:27 > 0:37:2850. And 60.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Are you sure? I'll take a fiver.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32I'll take a fiver.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Go on!
0:37:33 > 0:37:3660 on my left then! Are you five?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37No! Oh dear.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Oh, come on!
0:37:39 > 0:37:40£60 then, it's yours.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43For £60. Thank you very much, sir.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44605.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Bad luck.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47It certainly is.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You came through for us the most though!
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- It hasn't been your day today, has it?- Not today.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Anyway, that is minus £165.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57And that's us!
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Doesn't sound so much when you say it quick.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Now the big secret is don't say a word to the Blues, all right?
0:38:03 > 0:38:04OK. Try our best.
0:38:04 > 0:38:05Not a word.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07The tears might give it away.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08LAUGHTER
0:38:12 > 0:38:13Going to be sold, you're out!
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Now, Duncan and Janeka. Are you excited?
0:38:21 > 0:38:22- Yes.- Yes.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25No.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29No, good. You don't want to. Your silver purse. 1912. You paid £78.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32The auctioneers put 80 to £100, which is lovely, isn't it?
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Oh, yes.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35He rates it. He says silver's up.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Just the job for tripping out in Tring of an evening.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41First up then is the silver purse and here it comes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44There we are, one for the girls. A nice silver purse.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47I believe that one is George V. What about that?
0:38:47 > 0:38:48I think possibly £80 for it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Come on!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51£50 for it. 40 I've got.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53And five. There's two of you - five.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55There's three of you. 60. And five.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5770 and five. 80!
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Yes! It's a proper...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02£80, and five now then.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03£80. Another fiver in the corner.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08No? He's hiding. It's going down then for £80. Thank you.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10£80 is plus £2.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11That's OK.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Yeah. No point in looking too happy for it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16OK, next - the bottle stoppers.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19How about that? Interesting, aren't they?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21£40 for those. 30. 20.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Five. 30. Five. 40.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Yes. Come on!
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Go on! - Are you going to give me 50?
0:39:28 > 0:39:29Yes. 50 I'm bid. Five.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Yes!
0:39:31 > 0:39:33You're out? Yes, you are. It's going down then for £50.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Thank you.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Yes!
0:39:36 > 0:39:37Only minus ten.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39That's a surprise.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- A damn sight better than we thought. - Yes, it is.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Yeah.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Look out. Now. Cufflinks. Lovely. Marvellous.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49The cufflinks with mother of pearl and a little blue stone centre.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Nice ones, those are. What about £80?
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Or £50? £40? Yes, and five. £50?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59And five. 60. Five. Two of you. 70. Five?
0:39:59 > 0:40:0080, is it.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04No? 75 for Madam? 80 anywhere?
0:40:04 > 0:40:0775, 80, is it?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08Yes, I've got me 80. Anywhere?
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Yes! 80!
0:40:10 > 0:40:11And 90, is it?
0:40:11 > 0:40:1485. Are you thinking? You've lost them.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16They're going to Madam then for £85.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Well done, Madam. That's very good.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Plus 15, which is absolutely marvellous,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24so you are overall plus £7.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Yes!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30So you are plus £7. Who would've thought that?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Yeah!
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Based on those estimates, which were pretty rotten,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36you were down the proverbial, weren't you?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38As it is, you have £7 to take home.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41What are you going to do about the Satsuma?
0:40:41 > 0:40:42- We've got to go for it.- Yeah.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45We love it and we think it could do well.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48OK, you're going with the bonus buy and here it is.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Now we have a Japanese Satsuma part tea set.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53These are rather nice.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Look at that lovely dense chrysanthemum decoration.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57That one would split nicely, wouldn't it?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I think £150 for that one.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Oh, yeah.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Do we say 150 or do we say 100? We say 80. Yes, we do.
0:41:03 > 0:41:0580 I have it then.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0680, I'm bid for that one.
0:41:06 > 0:41:0890, I've got it. Are you 100?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09- Come on!- Ten, 20!
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Yes!
0:41:10 > 0:41:1230 I'm bid, at £40.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15No more? £140 then it is.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16One more!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Don't be greedy, Charles.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21140 has it! 50 now then.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25You've all gone quiet. I sell at £140. Thank you.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27£140, that's very good.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Plus 48, yes, on that.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33That means you are plus £55.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37I tell you guys, we're going to have this folding money.
0:41:37 > 0:41:38How lovely is that?
0:41:38 > 0:41:40It's good, isn't it!
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Yes. It's marvellous.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Listen, the big thing now is don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- No.- Absolutely not.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49No point in spoiling their day.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Two of you! 30 at the very back.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Well, it's been...interesting.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Have you kids been talking to one another about scores?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- No.- No idea.- No.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08As you know on Bargain Hunt, we don't have losers now.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11We only have runners-up and the runners-up today,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14by a considerable margin are... the Reds.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15Yeah! Oh, well!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17It just never went your way!
0:42:17 > 0:42:18No.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Tring is not attuned to your taste.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22I don't think so, no.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I don't think it is. So we won't dwell on it, really.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Amy, I want to know whether you had a nice time.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28I've had a lovely time.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Harriet?
0:42:29 > 0:42:30Yeah, it was wonderful.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Thanks for brightening up our lives.

0:42:34 > 0:42:38who go home with a resounding £55 worth of smackers...
