0:00:05 > 0:00:07Welcome to Scotland. We've got two teams,

0:00:07 > 0:00:11two potty-trained experts ready for some Highland haggling.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Today we're north of the border,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42at the Edinburgh Antiques and Collectors' Fair.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Here's a wee taste of what's to come.

0:00:46 > 0:00:51Two teams of best mates go head-to-head. The feisty Reds...

0:00:51 > 0:00:54- You haven't seen the boys. - You haven't seen them yet.

0:00:54 > 0:00:55We need to beat the boys.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58..and the Tartan-troosered Blues.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00We're gotta win this. You'll help us win this.

0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I'll take you on a night out in Glasgow with the winnings.- Woo!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Right, let's recap on the rules.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10But surely everybody knows what the rules are.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12- How long do they get to shop? - One hour.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15- How many things do they have to find?- Three.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- And how much do they have to spend? - £300.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Exactly right. The team wins that makes the most profit

0:01:21 > 0:01:24or the least loss later over at the auction.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, let's meet today's contestants.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Hello, everybody, welcome.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Now, Jane and Pauline. How did you first meet, Jane?

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Well, Pauline and I both do...

0:01:39 > 0:01:43are members of the Edinburgh Gilbert and Sullivan Society,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- so we sing on stage each year together.- And dress-up.- Yes.- Yes.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Done HMS Pinafore yet? - We have.- We have, yes.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- That's a rollicking good laugh, isn't it?- It is.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Now, Jane, it says here that you've seen the world.- Yes.

0:01:56 > 0:01:59I've travelled to various countries throughout the world.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Loved every minute of it.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Why aren't you mentioning the Australian Navy?

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Well, I was in that for seven years, communication sailor.

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Where did the Australian Navy take you?- I saw a lot of Southeast Asia.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Pacific Islands, went to Hawaii twice, New Zealand.- Sounds tough.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19- It was tough. Hard.- What do you do with your free time now?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Now I'm more into my cake decorating,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24which I've been trying to establish as a business.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28So, will you be baking a celebration cake especially

0:02:28 > 0:02:30- if we win today?- Here's hoping.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31- Yeah, OK.- Yes.- Excellent.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Pauline, you're no stranger to being on the telly, are you?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Well, no. In my earlier life, when I was slightly younger,

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I did quite a lot of extra work.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43And did local shows, little Scottish shows like Rebus,

0:02:43 > 0:02:48Taggart, River City, just plodding about in the background.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51And they thought you'd got what it took to wander around?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Yeah. I don't think you really need that much.- Well, I don't know.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Cos, you know, you can't go colliding with people.- No.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59And you've got to be very patient.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03You do. You sit around for a long time. But it's good fun.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05When I was younger, I got a real buzz out of it.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Now, you find yourself quite often at antique fairs.- I do, yes.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11I love going to antique fairs.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- And I've now got my kids involved as well.- Have you?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- And I drag them around with me. - I think you'll do rather well.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19In fact, I think you'll do so well

0:03:19 > 0:03:21that these Blues are quaking in their boots.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Are you quaking?- Quaking.- Yep.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26They look handy, these women, to me. Anyway...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Seb, you met Tom first as an opponent, didn't you?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32We did, on the rugby pitch, that's right.

0:03:32 > 0:03:33- Where did you play? - I was on the wing.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37- I'm not sure what position he was. - I was on the bench.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Most of the time, Tom, I guess. Well, good fun.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43What sort of things do you collect?

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Um, I'm not a massive collector of any sort of objects,

0:03:46 > 0:03:48but I studied archaeology at university.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50I like the story behind objects.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Things like that.- Will you be going for something really ancient today?

0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Quite possibly.- Some old lump of stone or iron, if you can find it.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- A bit of pottery.- You never know, these things make money at auction.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- I've heard they do. - And are desirable. Tom, it says here

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- that you're a milk broker.- Yeah.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I've never met a milk broker before. Tell us what he does.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Well, basically, I work for a family friend's dairy company.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16What we are trying to do is get everyone in the country

0:04:16 > 0:04:19to have milk delivered instead of buying it from a supermarket.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Is this going to cream off the profit from the supermarkets?

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I hope so.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- You're also a collector? - Well, my father

0:04:26 > 0:04:28used to take me to antique fairs when I was very young.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33I remember the first thing I got was a 17th-century writing desk

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- at Hopton House.- Really!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38It had lots of little secret pockets, that's why I liked it.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41What sort of things will you be going for today, do you think?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Got any idea?

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- A vase.- Yeah, I think so. - Gotta be a vase, does it?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I don't think anything in particular.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52You're going out there with an open mind. We'll have fun today.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Now, at the money moment. Here you go, £300 apiece. £300.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Thank you.- You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!

0:04:59 > 0:05:01And very, very good luck.

0:05:01 > 0:05:0317th-century writing desk, eh?

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Mm. I could do with one of those.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's going to be a hard-fought contest today,

0:05:09 > 0:05:10I can feel it already.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13And I've just the chaps to help them out.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16With the Red Team is a man who knows an antique fair

0:05:16 > 0:05:18like the back of his hand - Mr Charles Hanson.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21And the Blues will be benefiting from the expertise

0:05:21 > 0:05:24of the ever so knowledgeable Scot Paul Laidlaw.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Who's going to come out on top? Let's find out.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Seb, am I right? You guys are competitive between yourselves?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34There's always been a bit of friendly rivalry between us.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38- And what's the plan?- To win! - Really? Just to win?- Yes.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Your rivalry today is aimed at the red blighters, yeah?- Yep.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- We're going to win. - We're going to win!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49- We're not getting beaten by two guys in tartan trews.- Exactly.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Let's go that way. - Let's go this way.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56And so, they're off to do some serious shopping.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Feel a love with the dealer, OK?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01And that will then invite you into the object.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05So, if it jumps out at you for whatever reason.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07A strong reaction is what we need.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I quite like wee boxes.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Looks rugged on top.- Exactly. And what's it all about?

0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Winning.- Winning. - Exactly.- Winning.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18- This is for us.- I've got too many at home.- Too many at home?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Early days! Don't jinx us! Early days!

0:06:21 > 0:06:25It's a bit early to be raising the silverware, blokes!

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Both teams are scouring the aisles for that perfect bargain.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Jane has already spotted something right up her baker's street.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- I like the cake stand there.- Yeah. - That looks really lovely.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39- That's nice. - Could we have a look at it?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Apt for you, with your cakes. - That would be. ..Thank you.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Why would it be apt for you, Jane? - Because I bake cakes.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Yeah.- And I just love it.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I love it as well.- Is that really...?- It's wood.- It is.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54It is an ebonized wood. It's lacquered.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's made to imitate maybe Japan, with these pagodas.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59And the quality is really very good.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04- It's barely been touched by sponge cakes over the years.- Yes.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Is it old, though? - It's probably, I think, 1920s.

0:07:08 > 0:07:14- It says 130, but that is too much. - I would guide it cautiously.- Yeah.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17Hello there. Best price, madam?

0:07:17 > 0:07:21I have 130 on it, but I could come down to 90.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Could you do 75? - 80 would be my very best.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27We're early into the hour, aren't we? It's an early morning.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Can we come back?- Absolutely, we can come back, can't we?

0:07:29 > 0:07:34- Of course, yes.- There we are. - Thank you.- That's lovely.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37So, that's one to throw into the mix, Reds.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Let's see if it rises later.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42How do you feel about instruments? I'm looking at the microscope.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- I think microscopes are cool. - I like it.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46I think it's an interesting object.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49But I think, if we were taking it to an auction,

0:07:49 > 0:07:51as far as like choosing something weird,

0:07:51 > 0:07:54the chances of someone being there who is going to buy

0:07:54 > 0:07:56a 19th-century microscope...

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- I know, but...- Have faith.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- But...- The markets' eyes are on that auction.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02It doesn't matter how obscure it is.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05It didn't jump out at me, that's all I'm saying.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, let's hope you find something that does jump out at you soon, Tom.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13- What's this?- A silver mint box. - Made by Garrard.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15It's only plate. It's just silver-plate,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17but it has a good maker.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18At your dining table...

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Pass your mints, like so, with this lovely case.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- It's quirkier.- Novel, quirky, now the really important factor...

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- We would use that at a dinner party. - Would you really?- Yes.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- We would.- I like that. - Yeah, it's different.- Yeah.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- How much is it?- 18.- 18.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Wait for it.- 18!- Yeah.

0:08:38 > 0:08:44How does it go again? How does it go? Don't sound too surprised, OK?

0:08:44 > 0:08:4618? That's quite expensive.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48- 18!- 18, yes.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51You'll have to work on your poker faces, girls.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54- What would be your best price? - 12.- For 12?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Oh!- I'd buy that.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- I really like that. - Could you do it for 10?

0:08:57 > 0:08:59- OK, then.- Thank you!

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- My lovely assistant. - Thanks very much.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Reds have got themselves one in the bag,

0:09:03 > 0:09:07but will dish make a mint at the auction? Not to be outdone,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Paul has spotted something that could fly in the sale room.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15What do you have there? 1930s, 1940s.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Rather nice alabaster, onyx.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- It is quite solid.- Good frame, rather nice enamelled gilt,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26RAF pilot's wings.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- Very elegant. And no little chips or nicks or cracks.- Looks good.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34- No, it's in good condition. - How do you feel about that?

0:09:34 > 0:09:39Pretty good, but can we get it for less than £50?

0:09:39 > 0:09:44- I think you need to. - 25. It has to be 25.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46The thing is, nobody uses picture frames any more.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48It's all done by computer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:53- 35, that's it. - 30. We'll pay 30 for it.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55And then we'll win this, you'll help us win it.

0:09:55 > 0:09:5735, you'll win anyway.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01- 32, we'll take it for 32. Done. - Guys, you bought something.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Tom's brokering skills obviously aren't restricted to milk.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Well done, Blues. One down, two items and 45 minutes to go.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13The Red Team are proving to have one-track minds.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Charles, we saw another cake stand up there.- Say again?

0:10:15 > 0:10:17We saw another cake stand up there. It's just plain.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Another cake stand?- Yeah.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It's just plain, but in comparison to price, that's only £40.- Show me.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yeah, I think it's nice.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28This is quite standard and has a bog standard price.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- The other one was much more fanciful and more...- Absolutely.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36I was only pointing this out to you because we can then see how much

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- the bog standard one is.- Absolutely.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I can detect a pattern emerging here.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44Will the boys find that special vase they want

0:10:44 > 0:10:49and blue-m at the auction? Ha! The Reds have only spent £10 so far.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Will they go for something big next or something more compact?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57- What do you think of this, Charles? - Oh, that's nice.- Isn't it lovely?

0:10:57 > 0:11:00A little compact. You've got your lipstick,

0:11:00 > 0:11:03your powder and your perfume compact in this one here.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Yeah, you've got your powder there with your mirror.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- And music.- A musical one.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's £20.- Do you think we could get a deal on them with two?

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- I thought you want to win. - BOTH: We do.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- To win, isn't that spending big? - Right. Well, then, let's go.

0:11:17 > 0:11:23- Come on. Come on.- What do you think? - We'll go elsewhere.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25If you could buy them for half price...

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Knowing you need some money, knowing her female collectors

0:11:28 > 0:11:32in her Glasgow sale room, that would happily make about £35.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Really?- So there's a big profit there. How much?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- For 14.- 14.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Look at me.- Ten?- 12.- Aw!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Seeing as it's my favourite, ten.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45Thank you!

0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Ten.- £10?- 10!- Thank you!

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- I think it'd be rude not to say, "Go for it."- Yes, please. Thank you.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54£10. That's a wonderful thing.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- It's compact, quite literally. It's a neat object.- I love it!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Well done, Reds, but you are hardly blowing the budget.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04We've only spent £20 so far. For two items.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Charles wants to buy something...

0:12:06 > 0:12:08bigger that we spent a bit more money on.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Yeah, something that's not £10. - LAUGHTER

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Most of the objects here are 100 or 200 years old,

0:12:15 > 0:12:19but I've got my hands on a couple of interesting items,

0:12:19 > 0:12:22one of which is considerably older than not.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27What is the connection between this fancy, pink, lacy hat

0:12:27 > 0:12:30and this cardboard box?

0:12:30 > 0:12:32On the face of it, there is no connection,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34until you open up the box

0:12:34 > 0:12:37and you take out part of the contents,

0:12:37 > 0:12:41which is...one of these. And, of course,

0:12:41 > 0:12:46there is a very strong connection between the hat and the egg.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51This is the largest avian egg in the world,

0:12:51 > 0:12:54that came from the largest bird in the world.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58It is, of course, the ostrich. What is it worth?

0:12:58 > 0:13:02A £10 note would buy you this ostrich egg,

0:13:02 > 0:13:05which is not a lot when you think about it.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08The other interesting natural history specimen

0:13:08 > 0:13:13that I found today is this fellow. What do you think about that?

0:13:13 > 0:13:18This is actually a tooth, a tooth from an ancient shark,

0:13:18 > 0:13:21and is about 90,000,000 years old.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26This shark's tooth has a mathematical calculation

0:13:26 > 0:13:28that can be applied to it to determine

0:13:28 > 0:13:31how long the original shark was.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36And the calculation is supposed to be ten metres per inch of tooth.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39If that is a three-inch tooth,

0:13:39 > 0:13:44we had a 90-foot shark swimming around

0:13:44 > 0:13:49100,000,000 years ago that had some dentures just like this.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52That's a thought, isn't it? So, what's it worth?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Well, there is a considerable difference in value

0:13:55 > 0:13:57between this and the ostrich egg,

0:13:57 > 0:14:02because these things are not as common as hens' teeth.

0:14:02 > 0:14:07As such, one like that, a big one, would cost you all of £90.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Eat your heart out, Jaws.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14Our teams are fighting tooth and nail.

0:14:14 > 0:14:15So far, the cake-mad Reds

0:14:15 > 0:14:18have the edge, with two items under their fleeces,

0:14:18 > 0:14:21but the boys have proved that they can do a mean bit of haggling.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Whenever you go to Glasgow, you want to go to Glasgow

0:14:26 > 0:14:28with an object really made for the place.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- This looks like Rennie Mackintosh. - Exactly.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Exactly. OK? Feel the romance.

0:14:35 > 0:14:39- OK. Can we think about?- Say again? - Can we think about it?- Of course!

0:14:39 > 0:14:41- We've still got time. - We have time.- I love it.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45At the very least, we can use them to find a bargain.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47LAUGHTER

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Well, they've managed to find something all right.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52They've been looking for one of these.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- What's the vase? - It's WMF.- Is it?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Mind your language, please(!) LAUGHTER

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Late 19th, early 20th century. The inspiration here...

0:15:02 > 0:15:04It's made in Wurttemberg.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08The inspiration is clearly Eastern and of the Orient.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Was it made to be trendy? - I love that question.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15In its day, positively avant-garde, I suspect.

0:15:15 > 0:15:20- It's 125!- Yeah, but we could get it for £60.- No, you couldn't.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22You did not say that.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24No, seriously. No, no, no.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28It's a 20 quid piece, and I've seen them at that.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33I would do it for 45, but I'm not happy with anything less.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34What do you think?

0:15:34 > 0:15:3840? We've got to win this. You got to help us win this.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- We'll take you on a night out in Glasgow with the winnings.- Woo!

0:15:41 > 0:15:42LAUGHTER

0:15:42 > 0:15:4440 and we nailed it.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- OK.- Yeah! - Loving your work. Thanks for that.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Thank you.- It's yours.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56- Thank you very much.- Hey, two down. - One to go.- Get in there.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00I think we've done fantastically well so far.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02I think we are doing tremendously.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I mean, we got two great, great bargains

0:16:04 > 0:16:06and we've got plenty of time left to go hunting.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10- Yeah.- So, both teams are after that all-important third item.

0:16:10 > 0:16:15They both have plenty of moola left and the clock is ticking.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17We should go for something really big. Something really big.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Are we going big? - Yes.- Are we going really big?

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Anything here that grabs your attention or move on?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Let's move.- Let's do it. Thanks very much.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30As time starts to run out, Jane is becoming obsessed.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Another cake stand?- Yeah.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Listen, I think, let's leave the cake stands...

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I don't think we've heard the last of those stands.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42There's the microscope. Is there anything else we saw and went...?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44I'm not keen on the microscope. I don't like it.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46I think the chances of finding someone who is going to buy

0:16:46 > 0:16:49a 19th-century microscope are not going to happen.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- You're wrong.- Yeah, I knew you were going to say this, but...

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Well, look... - I think we should think bigger.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'm just trying to come up with things that, a minute to go,

0:16:57 > 0:16:59we could run and nail.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02Feeling the pressure, Blues? You're not the only ones.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05It's decision time for the Reds. And guess what?

0:17:05 > 0:17:10It must be, I think, that lacquered cake stand with a bit more discount.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Yes.- If that's feasible. Where was it?- There.- Come on, then.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17Oh, I hope it's still there.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Minutes to go, Paul has spotted a pair of potential prize-winners.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24They're modern, so maybe the boys will take a shine to these.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I like your Orrefors decanters. - Beautiful.- Aren't they?

0:17:27 > 0:17:29- May we have a look? - Yes. Good weight to them.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Guys, what do you think?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34This is what they're famed for. This is wheel cutting.

0:17:34 > 0:17:35And it does what it says.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Lovely, high quality crystal.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Bear that. What do you think?

0:17:41 > 0:17:45I live above a pub called The Stag, so I think it's genius.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49- 90 would be the bottom.- 90's it?- 90.

0:17:49 > 0:17:54If we could get it for 60, then we would be all over it.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Is there any more in that?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'd go another fiver, but that is really pushing it. 85.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01So it would be 85.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02I think we should go for it.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05I like them and I think it's a risk worth taking.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07We've got two objects that we've spent little on.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Go on, squeeze out another fiver. Do us a favour.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12You have to do it for 80, otherwise we'll end up

0:18:12 > 0:18:14with this horrible microscope.

0:18:16 > 0:18:21- Go on, then, £80.- Yes! Good. - Thank you very much.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'll be having chips without the fish for tea tonight(!)

0:18:25 > 0:18:26Well done, Blues.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31Down to the wire and three items haggled and bagged like proper pros.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Meanwhile, as the kitchen timer is about to ping,

0:18:34 > 0:18:37our Red Team have returned to their cake stand.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Either it's still there or it's "scone"!

0:18:40 > 0:18:44Our final curtain is almost here. We've got about three minutes to go,

0:18:44 > 0:18:49- and we quite like your cake stand. - I'd quite like it to sell.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Would you really?- Oh, yes! - How much? How much?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55- Just for £80.- Really?

0:18:55 > 0:18:5775?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Please?- That's painful.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- I was saying...- I know, it's just that we've got to beat these guys.

0:19:03 > 0:19:04I know, I know.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- You haven't seen the boys. - You haven't seen them yet.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07We need to beat the boys.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10And you'll say, "I did the girls a good turn."

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Right. Well, we have to stand up for girl power.- Absolutely.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15- 75.- Thank you!

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Excellent, 75.- Yeah.- Sure? - Yeah.- Sure?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22You'll leave me with all that money to go out and really blow it?

0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Yeah.- Well, I'm in, then. We'll take it.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Excellent, thank you.- Well done, guys. £75, give her a hand.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36That's it, time's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38- 'The number you have dialled...' - I beg your pardon?

0:19:38 > 0:19:43So the lady bakers in red couldn't resist a slice of the cake stand.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45It cost them £75.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48The silver-plated mint box was a snip added tenner.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Will the Garrard & Co name help sweeten that price?

0:19:52 > 0:19:56And the plated and mother of pearl compact came with

0:19:56 > 0:20:00a £10 price to match. They're hoping to make up wads at the auction.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- We came with thoughts of cake and we ended with a cake stand.- Yes.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Absolutely.- You think you're going to get cake and eat it?

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Oh, absolutely.- Definitely.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10- You'll have your cake and eat it?- Yes.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Is it your favourite item?- Yes. - It is?- It's mine.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Same with you, Pauline? - I like the little compact.

0:20:16 > 0:20:17- That's your favourite?- Yes.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19- But is it going to bring the biggest profit?- Yes.- It is?- Yes.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Definitely?- Definitely.- There we go, got a split decision here.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25How much did you spend all around, you girls?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- BOTH: 95.- On the lot?- Yes.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Oh, dear. £95?- I know, I know.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Who's got the 205 smackers?- Me.

0:20:33 > 0:20:37205 smackers, thank you very much, Pauline.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40That goes straight across to Hanson,

0:20:40 > 0:20:42which is quite of lot of cash, isn't it?

0:20:42 > 0:20:44I've learned, when you go somewhere like Glasgow,

0:20:44 > 0:20:47that fashionable place, that boutique auction house,

0:20:47 > 0:20:51or Anita Manning's, you've got to spend the whole lot, Tim. Spend big.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- It's going to make a huge profit. - I'm going to burn the lot.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57All right, lovely. Well done, Charles, girls.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?

0:20:59 > 0:21:01The boys in blue, with their tartan trews,

0:21:01 > 0:21:06snapped up the Art Deco RAF photo frame for £32.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09They got a cracking discount on the WMF vase,

0:21:09 > 0:21:14down from £125 to a much more presentable 40.

0:21:14 > 0:21:21Ditto their final item, a pair of Orrefors engraved decanters.

0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Tom, Seb, how was it?- Tremendous. - Did you enjoy it?- Great time.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27What did you spend all round?

0:21:27 > 0:21:31- £152?- £152, that is a thoroughly good number.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Who's got the £148 leftover?

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- I've got it.- Well done.- There you go.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Very good. Now, which is your favourite piece, Tom?

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I particularly like the decanters that we've got.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44I think they'll be really good.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Yeah? Same for you, Seb?- No, I've got the vase.- As a favourite?- Yeah.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I hope so, I think so.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Do you agree?- Probably,

0:21:53 > 0:21:55cos we managed to push the price down on that one.

0:21:55 > 0:22:01I see. Well, you are not students of Professor Laidlaw for nothing.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Now, Professor, there you go. There is your wad of money.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05Are you going to blow the lot?

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I don't know, but I feel like buying something Scottish.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09- Something Scottish?- Yeah.

0:22:09 > 0:22:12Well, we'll sell in Scotland, you're a Scot.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I think this is good thinking. Good luck.

0:22:14 > 0:22:15Good luck, team.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Meanwhile, we are heading off to Pollok House. Ever heard of it?

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Well, you're going to find out all about it any minute now.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Just outside Glasgow,

0:22:30 > 0:22:33Pollok House was built in the 18th century

0:22:33 > 0:22:35by the Maxwell family.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38Used as a military hospital in World War I,

0:22:38 > 0:22:41it opened as a museum in 1967.

0:22:41 > 0:22:46It contains many displays of fine furniture and family heirlooms,

0:22:46 > 0:22:51including the Stirling Maxwell collection of European paintings.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54But it is an entirely different collection

0:22:54 > 0:22:57that has brought me here today.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02This room was originally designed as a billiard room

0:23:02 > 0:23:06when it was added on to the main house early in the 20th century.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08In the First World War,

0:23:08 > 0:23:11when the place was turned over to a military hospital,

0:23:11 > 0:23:15it was a ward for officers recovering from their wounds.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Today, it is a dining room.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21And it is an activity connected with dining, actually drinking,

0:23:21 > 0:23:25that draws me to this collection of silverware.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28Now, the earliest piece out of this group is what is called

0:23:28 > 0:23:31a nautilus shell, which is this fellow here,

0:23:31 > 0:23:36that was so prized in 1615, when this thing was created,

0:23:36 > 0:23:41the silversmith in Nuremburg plastered it in silver gilt,

0:23:41 > 0:23:45hence the exotic wave form of the cover.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48If you look carefully around the whole thing,

0:23:48 > 0:23:49it is encrusted with elements

0:23:49 > 0:23:53that relate to the mystery of the distant oceans.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56The other intriguing piece is this fellow,

0:23:56 > 0:24:02which is thought to be an ostrich egg form coffee pot.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07The coffee dregs would accumulate in the bottom of this egg shape,

0:24:07 > 0:24:12allowing you to draw off the amber nectar above.

0:24:12 > 0:24:17And these other two pieces, well, they are just here for the fun.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21This wise old owl cannot be faulted

0:24:21 > 0:24:24for the quality of the workmanship in its construction.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29If I am careful and I gently ease the cover off,

0:24:29 > 0:24:31you'd have stored your alcohol,

0:24:31 > 0:24:37another vicious brew, in the body of the owl and treated his head

0:24:37 > 0:24:38simply as a wee tot,

0:24:38 > 0:24:42a cup out of which you take a dram.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47But perhaps the most extraordinary drinking object is this fellow.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50It is called a wager cup.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52In the pub,

0:24:52 > 0:24:56you'd wager your best mate that he couldn't drink

0:24:56 > 0:24:59both vessels without spilling a drop.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04You could very easily glug, glug, glug that. No problem at all.

0:25:04 > 0:25:08But the trick is to drink what is in this hinged vase.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oops. Oh!

0:25:10 > 0:25:12I might get away with it.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16On the other hand, if you have had a drop or two, I promise you,

0:25:16 > 0:25:18the whole thing is down your shirt.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22You'd lose your wager and all your friends in the pub would think

0:25:22 > 0:25:24that's very, very amusing.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25Fun, isn't it?

0:25:25 > 0:25:29The big question today for our teams over at the auction -

0:25:29 > 0:25:32is anybody about to be drenched or not?

0:25:40 > 0:25:44Well, we have trotted across half of Scotland from Edinburgh

0:25:44 > 0:25:47to Glasgow to get to Great Western Auction Rooms with Anita Manning.

0:25:47 > 0:25:51- Anita, how are you, darling? - I'm very well and welcome. Welcome.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53It is lovely to be here in Glasgow, I tell you.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57Jane and Pauline are looking to you to achieve stellar results,

0:25:57 > 0:25:58as usual, no pressure.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02What about this crested mint container?

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Well, it is quite an ordinary, wee item,

0:26:05 > 0:26:09but what makes it a wee bitty special is the fact that it was made

0:26:09 > 0:26:12by Garrard & Co, who were the Crown Jewellers.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17So it was retailed by a luxury firm.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19They paid a ten pound note for it,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22will you be able to convert that into some extra cash?

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Well, I hope so. I have estimated it at 20 to 30.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I might be a wee bit generous on that,

0:26:27 > 0:26:30but it was because it had a little quality.

0:26:30 > 0:26:31Yeah, no, quite, and the right name.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Yes.- You are absolutely right.

0:26:34 > 0:26:38Next is this little compact, lipstick and powder compact.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40It's not something I use often.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42- But they are collectible, aren't they?- They are collectible.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47And there are a group of people who are passionate about compacts,

0:26:47 > 0:26:51so I am hoping we will have interest on the floor and from outside.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55- Brilliant. And how much do you think you will get?- Well, 15 to 20.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57That's fair enough, they paid £10.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59You can't do better than that, can you?

0:26:59 > 0:27:04The last item is the three-tier cake stand.

0:27:04 > 0:27:09This is in very good condition and the gilt decoration is perfect.

0:27:09 > 0:27:12Yeah. I do fancy it with a few cupcakes, though.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Perhaps a little bit of Dundee cake up here in Scotland.- Of course.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19- What do you think it is going to bring?- Well, I put 40 to 60 on it.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22They paid 75. So we could be a bit awry there.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26In fact, if you did really well on these, you might cover

0:27:26 > 0:27:29the losses on that, in which case they're going to need the bonus buy,

0:27:29 > 0:27:32so let's go and have a look at it.

0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Now, girls, you spent £95.- Yes.

0:27:34 > 0:27:35Which was truly pathetic.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40And £205 of leftover lolly went to Charles.

0:27:40 > 0:27:41Charles, what did you buy?

0:27:41 > 0:27:45I always like to try and spend the whole lot. I really do.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47So I bought something very stylish,

0:27:47 > 0:27:49hopefully right for the area of Glasgow.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- And it is that.- I knew it!

0:27:52 > 0:27:54- What do you mean you knew it? - We looked at that.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Oh yes, we did. I know.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58- I knew you'd go back and buy that.- I did.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Because it just had a look about it.

0:27:59 > 0:28:03I thought, well, knowing Glasgow and knowing...

0:28:03 > 0:28:05Have a look. It is a barometer, of course.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07It is. I know this because we looked at it.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Did you reject it earlier then?- Yes.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11He went back and bought a reject?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13They thought it was too expensive.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17Well, you would, spending £95, wouldn't you?

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yeah, but look at the sinuous lines. It is so Art Nouveau

0:28:19 > 0:28:22and it reflects almost the birth of the great arts

0:28:22 > 0:28:25in Glasgow in the last century.

0:28:25 > 0:28:30It ought to make maybe £100 to £150, because it cost me 70.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Oh, well done.- You are sure?

0:28:33 > 0:28:36These girls have bucked up now when you said 70.

0:28:36 > 0:28:40They were seriously depressed when they thought it was going to be 210.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43Charles, you are a tease, I have to tell you that.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45Anyway, good. Well done, Charles.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- You seem to have got a bit of a hit, there.- I hope so.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Excellent. But for the audience at home, let's find out

0:28:51 > 0:28:53what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' barometer.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57So, Anita, is the weather set fair for Charles with his bonus buy?

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Well, I hope so. This is a lovely little barometer.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03It's very Glasgow.

0:29:03 > 0:29:06The shape of it, this lovely heart shape

0:29:06 > 0:29:10and the inlay of copper and ebony -

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- the Glasgow buyers will love it! - Right.- And it's a good maker.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17The only thing is, we have some damage here and here

0:29:17 > 0:29:20and that might take it away.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22How much?

0:29:22 > 0:29:25I still have estimated it 80 to 120,

0:29:25 > 0:29:28because I'm hoping the design, the shape,

0:29:28 > 0:29:31and the inlay will push the price up.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Charles paid 70 and it does depend, of course,

0:29:34 > 0:29:35whether the team take it or not.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38Anyway, that's it for the Reds. For the Blues,

0:29:38 > 0:29:42what a mixture they've got. First item is the photo frame,

0:29:42 > 0:29:47- which is patriotic, good quality. - I love this,

0:29:47 > 0:29:50I think it's absolutely beautiful. We have the addition

0:29:50 > 0:29:55of the little pilots' wings here. A nice thing, I do like it.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56They only paid £32.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59I think that's pretty reasonable.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01I've estimated it 40 to 60.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03By the time you've worked your magic,

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Anita, anything could happen. - You old flatterer!

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Moving on then,

0:30:09 > 0:30:13- we've got the WMF pot. - I love it, I love the design.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17We've got a standard shape, but an intriguing abstract pattern.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21It's an intriguing piece and has captured my imagination.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Difficult to value, I guess? - I've put £40-£60 on it

0:30:24 > 0:30:27and I really don't know where it will go. I think it will

0:30:27 > 0:30:29be well-fancied, though.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32Anything north of 40, happy with that. Good.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Next, the perennial favourites - a nice pair of decanters.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37They are smart, aren't they?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41These are Orrefors, so we've got wonderful Scandinavian design,

0:30:41 > 0:30:45but the thing about these decanters is these stags at the front

0:30:45 > 0:30:48have been engraved by Alison Geissler,

0:30:48 > 0:30:51who was a prestigious Edinburgh engraver.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55I wonder whether your fellow Scot, Paul Laidlaw,

0:30:55 > 0:30:59realised there was an engraving Edinburgh connection with this piece of glass.

0:30:59 > 0:31:03They've only got an hour, so he may not have had time to examine

0:31:03 > 0:31:05it as carefully as an auctioneer would.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09- What are they worth? - I've estimated 80 to 120.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12£80 was paid, so that should make a profit.

0:31:12 > 0:31:16I think I'm smelling a bit of a golden gavel coming up here.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18I might be completely wrong in which case

0:31:18 > 0:31:21they won't want the bonus buy, but let's go and look at it anyway!

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Seb and Tom, this is your exciting moment, the leftover lolly.

0:31:24 > 0:31:28You spent 152, you gave the Laidlaw £148. What did you buy?

0:31:28 > 0:31:30Brace yourselves!

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Oh! And where are the rest?

0:31:32 > 0:31:34Spoons!

0:31:34 > 0:31:37- How uninspiring!- No, I love a spoon.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Absolutely uninspiring!

0:31:40 > 0:31:44Two pretty dull, fiddle-pattern silver teaspoons.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Worth what, £10 each on a good day?

0:31:49 > 0:31:50I paid £70 for those,

0:31:50 > 0:31:53but these are Scottish provincial silver.

0:31:53 > 0:31:58I've seen dealers asking £100 a pop for such spoons.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00An international market.

0:32:00 > 0:32:05- That's why I'm presenting them to you now.- Mini bargain.- I hope so.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09- And what sort of profit d'you think we can make?- If I'm lucky,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11I can see them doing £100-£110.

0:32:11 > 0:32:14- You're already fired up about this Tom, aren't you?- So excited(!)

0:32:14 > 0:32:17I can see it written all over your face. Fine.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Well, you've got the gen, you don't decide now, decide later.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23For the audience at home, let's find out what the Scottish auctioneer

0:32:23 > 0:32:24thinks about the Scottish spoons.

0:32:24 > 0:32:29There we go, Anita, two wee Scottish spoons for you.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32There's always demand for Scottish provincial silver and these

0:32:32 > 0:32:35are by two prestigious makers -

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Alexander Cameron and John Urquhart.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40How much do you think they're going to bring?

0:32:40 > 0:32:43I have put £50-£80 on them,

0:32:43 > 0:32:46- and I might have been a little generous.- Oh dear.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Laidlaw paid 70.- Yeah.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Maybe the team shouldn't go with them.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55But maybe they will.

0:32:55 > 0:32:57Maybe we won't know until we get to the auction.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Are you taking the sale today?- I am. - As usual, we're in safe hands.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13- So, you nervous at all, Jenny?- No, excited.- You're not?- Very excited.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15How excited on your excited scale?

0:33:15 > 0:33:19- 15!- Are you?- Yes.- That's off the top, isn't it?- Absolutely.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22First up, then, is your Garrard mint box and here it comes.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25Lot 51, ladies and gentlemen,

0:34:51 > 0:34:53- That means you are plus £75. - Unbelievable.

0:34:53 > 0:34:58- Hang on a minute, this could all go very badly wrong.- Well, it could.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39Bad luck.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41£70. That is bad luck.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43You're minus £5 on that,

0:35:43 > 0:35:46- but overall you are plus £70.- Yes!

0:35:47 > 0:35:50- This is serious excitement here. - Oh, yes.

0:35:50 > 0:35:51Girls, what are you going

0:35:51 > 0:35:54to do about the barometer then? You can bank £70

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- which could be a winning score. - Let's bank.- Let's go for it.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Quickly, what are you going to do? - Go for it.- Fine, go for it.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03You're going to do it.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05- We'll go for it.- OK. Phew!

0:36:05 > 0:36:09I think we finally got there. I think the decision is made, yes?

0:36:09 > 0:36:13We are going with the bonus buy. Definitely? We're going with it. Here it comes.

0:36:13 > 0:36:18Ladies and gentlemen, is this not so Glasgow?

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Well done. Give her a clap!

0:37:10 > 0:37:12There there's no point in spoiling their day. All right?

0:37:16 > 0:37:21So, boys, are we wearing our tartan trews for good luck?

0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Is that what it is? - Certainly is, yes.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- How do you rate your chances today? - Pretty good.- Do you?

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- You reckon you're on for this? - Definitely.- To lash those girls?

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I think it'll be easy.

0:37:32 > 0:37:35First up is the photo frame and here it comes.

0:38:05 > 0:38:07Well done, boys. £55.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11There's nothing the matter with that. That's £23 profit.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14We like it, it's a profit. Good. Now, the baluster vase.

0:38:14 > 0:38:20One of my own personal favourites is this unusual WMF vase,

0:38:20 > 0:38:23with these abstract circles.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27Start me at £30. Start me at 30.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51£50?

0:38:51 > 0:38:53£50 is a profit.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Let's just look at it like that, plus £10 on that,

0:38:55 > 0:38:58that's not expensive but it's a profit, thank you very much.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Come on Anita, you've got to go for the decanters.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02These will make money, I tell you.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19£230, that's £150 profit.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23- That's not bad. - What do you mean, "not bad?"

0:40:23 > 0:40:26You're so cocky, Tom.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29Anyway, 150, 73, that's £183

0:40:29 > 0:40:31you've got in the bank.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33What are you going to do?
