0:00:02 > 0:00:07Many years ago the Victorians and Edwardians were drawn to

0:00:07 > 0:00:11the town of Builth Wells by its hot springs.

0:00:11 > 0:00:13But we're not here for the water today.

0:00:13 > 0:00:17Oh, no! But we are hoping to spring some hot profits...

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Hah! ..later over at the auction, but right now,

0:00:20 > 0:00:23let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:51 > 0:00:55Today's antiques and collectables are to be found here

0:00:55 > 0:00:58at the Royal Welsh Showground near Builth Wells.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03With over 1,000 stalls, our teams are going to have to hotfoot it

0:01:03 > 0:01:07to find that extra special, super-duper thing.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's have a quick peek at what's coming up.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Today, it's a tale of two tactics.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17The Reds using their heads to drive a hard bargain...

0:01:19 > 0:01:21- That's brilliant.- That's ridiculous!

0:01:21 > 0:01:26- ..whilst the Blues choose with their heart.- It's right up your street.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28It's just whether we make a profit.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I don't think you'll make a profit, but it reflects your interests.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33But which will pay off?

0:01:37 > 0:01:39The rules are easy. Each team gets £300

0:01:39 > 0:01:43and an hour to shop for three items which they sell later at auction,

0:01:43 > 0:01:45and the team that makes the most profit wins.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Easy, innit?

0:01:48 > 0:01:49hat's all coming up.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52But first, let's get to know a bit about the teams.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57Well, today I'm surrounded by creative types

0:01:57 > 0:02:01from the world of music and design,

0:02:01 > 0:02:05and first up is Amy and Sandro. How did you two meet?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Through... - My best mate is your boyfriend.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- So you're just good friends? - We are, yes.- Well, that's nice.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Sandro, says here you're incredibly creative. Tell me about that.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I love using Photoshop. My job is web design,

0:02:17 > 0:02:19so I love coding, creating websites.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21It's really boring but really enjoyable for me!

0:02:21 > 0:02:24But it says here you're interested in carving.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28I just love the craftsmanship that goes into a wooden carving.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32Someone's spent hours sitting there with a knife, just carving. I really appreciate that kind of quality.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Any particular type of carving? - Black Forest.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- The German bears and all that?- Yes, the lions, the bears. It's just...

0:02:39 > 0:02:40It inspires.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43It is extraordinary that just with a sharp knife

0:02:43 > 0:02:45and a lump of wood, you can create something so beautiful.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- And Amy, are you as creative? - Not as creative as Sandro.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51I've got slightly a different job.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53I work in construction as a quantity surveyor,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55so I deal a bit more with the money side.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59- A bit more creative with the cash flow.- Brilliant.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02So did you read surveying or something or other at university?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04- I read forensic science.- Did you?

0:03:04 > 0:03:08I've gone back to university now to study surveying and project management.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11I prefer the hardhat to the white coat.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13That's very nicely put. Brilliant.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16Laura and Dan, our married couple, which is lovely,

0:03:16 > 0:03:19and it's music that brought you two together, yes?

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yes, definitely.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25Dan was looking for a pianist and he put an ad out on the internet, saying

0:03:25 > 0:03:30he'd like someone who was interested in 1940s music and could play.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And he got a wife.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Well, that was lovely.

0:03:34 > 0:03:39- So you certainly learned how to play together.- We did.- That's brilliant.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43And you've performed to some enormous audiences, haven't you?

0:03:43 > 0:03:44We have.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49In June last year, we performed to 10,000 people in Trafalgar Square.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It was terrifying but brilliant.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54We're doing a number of concerts across the year.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58We perform in everything, from cathedrals to concert halls,

0:03:58 > 0:04:03but we're doing a very important concert, which is down a mine.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07We're taking the piano into the mine shaft,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09dropping it down, to Big Pit, Blaenavon,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12taking the piano behind the back of the mine and

0:04:12 > 0:04:15doing a concert to remember people who've died in mines,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17so we're doing that concert underground.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20So it's something we feel very passionate about.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24What fun. Now the money moment. £300 apiece. Here's your £300.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26You know the rules.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30Your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32What charming teams.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39This time, ready to serve the Reds, we unmask Chris Gower.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43While David Barby will be directing the Blues.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47We've got something in common, haven't we?

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- I love 1930s, '40s musicals. - Us too, funnily enough.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's strange that you like that.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55So, Laura, what are you going to look for?

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Well, hopefully we'll be able to find something relevant to that.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03We'd like some movie memorabilia, some music or something like that,

0:05:03 > 0:05:05or just something from that era, very showbiz.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yes, something kind of glamorous.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'd really like to find something kind of bright and colourful,

0:05:09 > 0:05:13maybe like an ornament or something with glass in it,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16or maybe a really nice horse object, because that would be really nice.

0:05:16 > 0:05:17A horse painting. That would be nice.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20A painting, yeah, mix the two together, something quite colourful.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Colourful. A nice little Stubbs, with 300 quid.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27No, we need more items than just one!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- That's true.- We need a profit.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yes, that IS the name of the game.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36The Blues, on the other hand, are drifting back to a bygone era.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- Look! BBC Tommy Handley.- Ah! Now we're talking.- Have a look at it.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Can we...?- Yes, yes.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48What was the famous saying of Tommy Handley, from his show?

0:05:48 > 0:05:51"Can I do you now?" Something like that.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Sounds disgusting. - It does sound terrible!

0:05:53 > 0:05:57- "Can I do you now, sir?"- Tommy Handley's sayings are timeless.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58Absolutely.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- And these are all the recordings of...- The show, is it?

0:06:01 > 0:06:04It's from the show.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- All the humour of the 1940s, '50s, contained there.- Ah!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Can we have a look at the actual records inside?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- From a condition point of view? - Yeah.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- I don't think they've been used. - They look brand-new.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20Absolutely brand-new.

0:06:20 > 0:06:26- So £35.- £35. Are you going to sell it for a profit?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I don't think so.- No.- Shall we ask them what they could do for it?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32That's the very nice lady over there. The glamorous one.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36The glamorous lady. What could you do this for,

0:06:36 > 0:06:38if we were very nice to you

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- and Laura batted her eyelids? - They'll sing you a song.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42- They're professionals.- £30.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45He's got that look again, hasn't he?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48A little bit less?

0:06:48 > 0:06:53- 28. 28. - We'll all just stand here.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- Can you do 25 for us? - 25, then. That's the lowest.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02- What do you think?- I think it's right up your street. I really do.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- It is just whether we make a profit. - I don't think you'll make a profit on it,

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- but it reflects your interests. - It does.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11It might not make lots of money but maybe we'll find another piece that will.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Do you want to go for that? - Yes, we'll go for that one.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15And we've made our first buy.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Ah, these sentimental types, eh?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Let's hope someone out there still owns a record player.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27What have you spotted, then, Reds?

0:07:27 > 0:07:31- You like this Amy, don't you?- I do, yes. It caught my eye. Team colours.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35It's very appropriate. A fruit bowl.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Is it Murano?- Or Italian. Murano, perhaps.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- I think it is Italian.- So how old do you think that would be?- '40s.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47- '40s or '50s.- Do you think they're imitation, or real?

0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Is it a pair together?- Ah, now...

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- This carving, this is almost like Black Forest.- Oh, awesome.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- I like Black Forest.- German. These are really nice.- They are.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Are they book ends? - Just decorative.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06While the Reds are getting in the swing of things,

0:08:06 > 0:08:09the Blues find time to sing.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10# If you're blue

0:08:10 > 0:08:12BOTH: # And you don't know where to go to

0:08:12 > 0:08:16# Why don't you go where fashion sits?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- # Puttin' on the Ritz - # Boom-boom-boom. #

0:08:22 > 0:08:27Bravo, Blues. Now, let's get on with it. No standing ovations here.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31Right, come on, let's go shopping.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32Hello there, hi.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- These are quite nice. - MAN: Thank you.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40In fact, they might be nice enough to buy. How much are they?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44I've got 120 on them, but you can have them for a oner, if it helps.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Do you think we'd make money? - Well, that's the whole point, Sandro, isn't it?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50I'm just trying to think what sort of price we'd get at auction.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Might be a bit of a squeeze to get that.- 85. 85.- How do you feel?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57I'm not sure we'd make a lot of profit from them.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00- Sandro, do you like them? - I do like them, but... £70?

0:09:00 > 0:09:02- £60?- Um...

0:09:02 > 0:09:0468, so you're just under the 70 mark.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I think these are in the bag, then, aren't they?- I think definitely.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Good going, Sandro.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16You definitely chiselled away the pounds for that one.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20- How do you feel about this red glass?- I like it. Maybe we should come back and keep looking around,

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- though, not get all our items too soon.- All right.

0:09:24 > 0:09:25That Amy's on the ball.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29So that's one-all in the first ten minutes.

0:09:30 > 0:09:34And Barby? Well, he's on the ball too, with a precise plan of action.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Scan the stalls. Only go to those items that you can relate to,

0:09:37 > 0:09:42- that you might think have potential sale value.- OK, no problem.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Gosh, that is really over the top, isn't it?- Oh, wow!

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- That's fabulous.- It's just so glammy-whammy-whammy. - It is really glamorous.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- It really is bling-bling-bling. - Bling-bling-bling.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54- A bit glammy-whammy.- Glammy-whammy.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm not seeing glammy-whammy at the moment.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01- Glammy-whammy-whammy-whammy. - More like wham-bam, if you ask me.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Come on, Blues. You're losing your swagger.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10- I really like this item here.- Really? - Oh, yes.- Really?- Yes, really.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12And you say I've got bad taste?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Oh, look at those colours. - That's effort.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20It's taken someone a long time to do. Do you not admire the handiwork?

0:10:20 > 0:10:23It just reminds me of something you'd find in your granny's house.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25That's exactly what it is.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27If we're desperate and we can't find anything else

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I will concede and, yes, we'll come back to that.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- We might change his mind later on. - Good luck.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36That could be one way to weave a profit.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39For the Blues, though, a pretty face has caught their eye.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41They're a very good make.

0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Goldscheider have been producing figures like this for decades.- OK.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48These are 1950s. 1950s, 1960s.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Ooh! Look at that price.- £165.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- But that is very glamorous. - It is very glamorous.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Actually, I could see that fitting into someone's modern apartment.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Let me put it on the wall.- Yeah.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Oh!- She's lovely. What's she worth, though?

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Well, 165 I think is the maximum price.

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Unless you're going to get it down really, really to a more favourable figure,

0:11:14 > 0:11:18- I think it's out of the question. - David, you might need to sing.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Ha-ha-ha(!)

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Let me have a quick word with the lady.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Do look on the stall, see if there's anything else.- OK.- OK.

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- Just give them one of your looks, David.- Wow, nice glass here, Amy.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36- 20 minutes in, and the Reds may have found a ray of light.- What's this?

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- It's a candleholder.- Can you imagine the flame flickering on that?

0:11:40 > 0:11:43That is very interesting. Right.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Petr Hora is the designer. It weighs a ton.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Would that need to be in some kind of specialist auction?

0:11:49 > 0:11:50No. I'll tell you why,

0:11:50 > 0:11:53because it's interesting and different enough to sell.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56What's the age on it? Do you think it's very old?

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Probably '60s, I would say.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- That's in, the '60s, at the moment, isn't it?- I can't see the dealer.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06He's not around here. It's not a bad price, either.

0:12:06 > 0:12:0965, I think is on it. Let's see if you can do any better.

0:12:10 > 0:12:14A possible second item, but is it worth the candle?

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Right, here we are, kids.

0:12:18 > 0:12:24- £90.- OK.- £70.- Ooh.- £70?

0:12:24 > 0:12:28What was it marked as, 165? He's good, isn't he?

0:12:28 > 0:12:34This one here is more stylised, with the slanted eyes, gold hair.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- I'm drawn towards that one. - I think that's quite good.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think this is a must-buy, and I think we'll turn a profit on this.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41I've got a good feeling.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I've just noticed that.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Is that going to be a problem?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Well, it is actually a chip in the glaze finish.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Now I look at it, I can see it all the time.- Yeah, I can, too.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- It's like a wart.- Yeah. - So we've got a risk on our hands.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58Yeah.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I just... Something in my gut is saying...

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Shall we take a punt on that? - Yes, I think take a risk on it.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08- I just really love it and I think someone else might, too.- I think so.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's Goldscheider, it's got the name. It's got the look.

0:13:10 > 0:13:13- OK, let's do it.- Brilliant.- £90.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Let's do it...- I'm happy, I think.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16# Let's fall in love... #

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well done, but that's another purchase made with the heart

0:13:22 > 0:13:23and not the head.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28# Let's fall in love. #

0:13:28 > 0:13:30All right, guys, two bits of news for you.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34First thing is it's not '60s as I thought - it's '80s.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39And the second thing is, even better news, it's £50.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- That's his last price.- 50, is it? What do you think?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Do you think we can make more than 50?- I think so.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48If it's a bit more recent than we thought?

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Have you ever seen anything like it? - No, I haven't.- Neither have I.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55And I've been steeped in this business... Let's go for it.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59- All right, then.- Yeah. OK. - Deal done.- Fantastic.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's all about the cash with you Reds.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06We're now well over halfway, with the teams neck-and-neck

0:14:06 > 0:14:09with two buys each, but finding that final item

0:14:09 > 0:14:12is where hunting gets hard.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Look at this, this is Worcester, and this is a moustache cup.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21- So why has it got...? - That's the moustache,

0:14:21 > 0:14:24so you can drink and not get your moustache wet.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Oh, I like that. Never, ever seen anything like that before.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30It's a collector's item. £85 is a little bit on the top side,

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- but that is nice, isn't it? - I do think that's interesting.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39- That's why I like that. It's not just a cup.- Why don't you ask the dealer?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Hello...

0:14:41 > 0:14:44What would be the best price you could do for us on that?

0:14:44 > 0:14:49- It's got 85 on it. I'd say 75. - Could you do a little bit less?

0:14:49 > 0:14:51I'll squeeze to 70. That's my very, very best.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- I would suggest, if this gentleman allows, to have that in reserve.- OK.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- And we've got... - We haven't got very long left, so...

0:14:58 > 0:15:00- So we shall come back if you don't mind, sir.- Is that OK?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Thank you so much. No problem.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well, I may put a bid on that one myself,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08but with less than ten minutes to go, you'd better get a move on.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Now, where do we go? I've never seen so many stalls.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13There is an awful lot.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16Now, do we go into that building over there?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- You've got all of it concentrated. - Yeah, shall we have a look?

0:15:18 > 0:15:23- That's where you're going to find your glam.- Glam, here we come.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- WOMAN: Last five-minute rush? - Yes! Panic!

0:15:29 > 0:15:31We are running out of time. We have two things on reserve.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33How do we feel about those things?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Is the tapestry a bit more attractive now?- The tapestry table.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- I did like the glass. - And the red glass.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44What do you think would make more money? If we get the glassware for 25, and say we get the table for 30?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46The table will make us money.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49A bit more looking, with five minutes left, and then we'll go and get it.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53- OK, five minutes of looking? - Quickly, then, and then we've got our backup, all right?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56- So it's the table if we don't see anything else.- Yes.- OK.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03- Have I lost David?- We have lost him. Where is David?

0:16:03 > 0:16:05Right, right.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Look both sides, please. Jewellery.- Brooches...

0:16:10 > 0:16:14After intensive faffing, the Blues finally figure it out.

0:16:14 > 0:16:18- Right, we've got five minutes. Where do we go?- I think the moustache cup.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20The moustache cup. Right, let's go upstairs.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22- It's on the balcony, isn't it? - It is on the balcony.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25I don't think I am going to make those stairs in five minutes.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Oh, no, that's a lift. - Don't worry, go for it.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31A breather for the Blues,

0:16:31 > 0:16:34whilst the Reds have also spotted a way to get some respite.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- I like that chair.- That chair is nice.- It is nice, isn't it?

0:16:40 > 0:16:46Walnut, nicely carved, on casters, about 1860. Very nice condition.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Unless it's riddled with woodworm which we can't see.

0:16:48 > 0:16:53- No, I can't see any.- Nice, isn't it? - It feels solid.- It does, yes.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- How much have we got?- Not enough! - Not enough for the chair.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01- What if we got it down? I really like that.- We've got 181 left.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Could we get that down to that? Would that be enough money?- 180.

0:17:04 > 0:17:09- No dealer's going to take £100 off. - That's like... No.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14- But my fabulous charm! - Fabulous charm? You might work it.

0:17:14 > 0:17:15- Give it a go.- You can ask.

0:17:16 > 0:17:21- If you get that for 180 quid, I will eat my glasses.- All right.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25- That's a deal.- Here he is. Hello, there.- We love that chair.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- I thought you might.- Unfortunately, it's the price we don't love.

0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Don't you? Why's that, then?- We've got £175 left. That is our lot.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Would you do it for that?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I'm not sure I would, actually.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41Not if Amy gives you a little kiss on the cheek?

0:17:41 > 0:17:47- I don't think my wife would be too happy, would she?- No chance at all?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50- We really love the chair. It's really nice.- We do like it.

0:17:50 > 0:17:54- And we think it would make us money.- Um... 175.

0:17:54 > 0:17:59- You're not having me on, you haven't got more?- That is it. 175 is it.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01That is our lot. That's our complete finish.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Our last item, and you'd make our day.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Go on, then.- Ah, nice one. Thank you very much.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11- Nice one.- Thank you. Yes, your charm worked!

0:18:11 > 0:18:15I can't believe it. Well done. That's ridiculous. Fantastic.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18That's the way to do it. Well done, Reds.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21That's your final item done and dusted.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25So, can the Blues shave any more off that moustache cup?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27You said £70.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Yes.

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Not 65?- 70. - To give us some margin, please?

0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's got to be 70, I'm afraid.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Another couple of pound off? Just a few? £2?

0:18:38 > 0:18:42- 78? 68?- 69.99?

0:18:42 > 0:18:47- 68.- How much?- 68?- No. I need to get 70.- Give us some margin.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- There should be a margin at 70, I think.- You're such a hard man!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Give him the money, and we'll clear off.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00- OK, thank you very much. Can you wrap that for us?- OK, I will do.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Thank you.- Thank you. - Cheers.- No joy there.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07The 'tache was stashed for £70.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Come on, Chris.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Haven't you forgotten something?

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Best thing is, I get to see Chris eat his glasses now.- Definitely!

0:19:15 > 0:19:20Oh! Oh! Delicious!

0:19:20 > 0:19:23I can't believe he negotiated to have that chair.

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.

0:19:28 > 0:19:34The pair of 20th-century carved tigers was a killing at £68.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38They lit up when they saw the 1980s glass candlestick holder. £50 paid.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42And finally, they bought this Victorian armchair.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48A snug - or smug - fit, once they got the price down to £175.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52One of the fun things about Bargain Hunt is you never know

0:19:52 > 0:19:55what's going to happen next, right?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57And he knows, poor Chris, that he's not got much of a chance

0:19:57 > 0:20:00with your bonus buy, because you spent how much?

0:20:00 > 0:20:03- We spent £293 on our items. - That's pretty good, isn't it?

0:20:03 > 0:20:07That means there's only £7 for Chris to go off and buy your bonus buy.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- It's a bit of a challenge. - Very tough.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12OK, who has got the £7?

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Thank you very much. I'll take that. A whole £7.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Thank you so much(!)- Good luck.

0:20:19 > 0:20:24- This leaves me...two cups of coffee? - Maybe.- I will surprise you.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28- We hope so. Thank you. - That's a tease if ever I heard one.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Why don't you go and have your own cup of coffee, and enjoy it?

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Thank you very much.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38The Blues hope to spin some old yarns

0:20:38 > 0:20:40with this BBC record collection.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42£25 paid.

0:20:42 > 0:20:48Then they fell for this stylish ceramic facemask, paying £90 for it.

0:20:49 > 0:20:53Finally, they're hoping this Royal Worcester moustache cup and saucer

0:20:53 > 0:20:57may give them a taste of success at the auction.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02- You had a good old shop up there, didn't you?- We did, we did well.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05- We got our three pieces. - What was your total spend, please?

0:21:05 > 0:21:11- It was 185.- 185.- 185. I'd like 115 of leftover lolly, please.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Hand it over.- Thank you. - There you go.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15You don't like doing this, do you? All right.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17- A nice wodge for you, Barby. - Thank you very much.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Have you got anything in mind? - Yes, I have, actually.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I've got to think in terms of thespian-related objects.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27- There's been a song in my heart... - Oh, what a great song.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Good, good, good. Well, that's marvellous. Off you trip, then.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33Meanwhile, we're going to trot off somewhere splendido.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery here in Stoke-on-Trent

0:21:40 > 0:21:44attracts more than 200,000 visitors every year.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48They come to see the world's finest collection of Staffordshire

0:21:48 > 0:21:53ceramics and fine art, as well as the largest haul of Anglo-Saxon gold

0:21:53 > 0:21:56ever to be discovered in Britain.

0:21:56 > 0:22:03In 2009, more than 3,500 items in gold and silver

0:22:03 > 0:22:07were found here in Staffordshire, in a farmer's field,

0:22:07 > 0:22:11by an amateur metal detectorist.

0:22:11 > 0:22:16The overall value is said to be more than £3 million.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21This discovery unlocks significant clues into Anglo-Saxon history,

0:22:21 > 0:22:27because the hoard was found in the Lichfield area, which was then part of the kingdom of Mercia,

0:22:27 > 0:22:31one of Britain's largest and most aggressive realms.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32Why was the hoard buried here?

0:22:32 > 0:22:37Well, it's thought it could have been hidden during the aftermath of a battle.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38Well, well, well.

0:22:38 > 0:22:44I've descended into the bowels of the museum, to the laboratory,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47where we're going to have a rare old treat because

0:22:47 > 0:22:52the largest group of the hoard ever to be displayed -

0:22:52 > 0:22:56that's over 200 pieces - are about to go upstairs on display,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00and, were they on display, we wouldn't be able to examine them closely.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04I've selected a few and here they are. Wow.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07What do you think of this lot, then?

0:23:07 > 0:23:12To some, I have to say, it looks a bit like a heap of twisted metal

0:23:12 > 0:23:17just before it goes into one of those bullion melting down places.

0:23:17 > 0:23:22Which in a way is the back story to the whole hoard,

0:23:22 > 0:23:25because what was happening after the battle

0:23:25 > 0:23:30was all the valuable bits were rudely ripped from armaments

0:23:30 > 0:23:33from the defeated, and I guess there must have been

0:23:33 > 0:23:35a bit of a flimflam on, because they were

0:23:35 > 0:23:42jammed into a storage and buried frightfully crudely and rudely.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47Hence the metal, which I am sure was intended to be melted down

0:23:47 > 0:23:52and re-used, is in a bruised and battered state.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54If you take that little heap there,

0:23:54 > 0:24:00these three jokers were made to hold semi-precious stones.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04The stones themselves were kept in place by these little teeth.

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Rather similar to mounting jewellery today.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10That's thought to be a form of processional cross,

0:24:10 > 0:24:14of which this is a reproduction.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18In the reproduction, we can clearly see the cruciform form

0:24:18 > 0:24:23and the garnets themselves, enclosed in a similar way

0:24:23 > 0:24:25to the originals from the hoard.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29These two pieces are the end fittings from a sword,

0:24:29 > 0:24:34and this pyramid-form button apparently was a button

0:24:34 > 0:24:36that secured the top of the scabbard,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38to stop the sword falling out.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Talking of swords, over here we've got a reproduction

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Anglo-Saxon form of sword called a seax, and above here,

0:24:47 > 0:24:52from the hoard itself, are the gold and cut-garnet

0:24:52 > 0:24:54decorated fittings

0:24:54 > 0:24:59that might have fitted on a short little seax sword like that.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02Not only is the gold very pure,

0:25:02 > 0:25:06but if you look at the decoration, it's extraordinarily delicate.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10A series of beautifully cut garnet stones,

0:25:10 > 0:25:12which are inserted perfectly,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15and underneath the stones themselves is a layer of foil.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19And that foil is there to reflect the light from above,

0:25:19 > 0:25:22making the thing look even more splendid.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Can you imagine doing that 1,300 years ago?

0:25:27 > 0:25:31No magnification, no specialist cutting tools.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34It really is extraordinary.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Some of the pieces are very delicate.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38Take this seahorse, look.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43The way that that has been decorated is in a form of filigree.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Now, filigree is fine silver wire, twisted and coiled.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50But just look at how fine the wire is on this piece.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53It fair takes your breath away, doesn't it,

0:25:53 > 0:25:55how sophisticated

0:25:55 > 0:26:00the craftsmanship was 1,300 years ago.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03The big question today is, of course, for our teams

0:26:03 > 0:26:08over at the auction, just how sophisticated will their skills be?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Not so hot, I suspect.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22How lovely. We've trotted east from the middle of Wales

0:26:22 > 0:26:26to Worcestershire's premier saleroom to be with Philip Serrell.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- Philip.- Lovely to see you. - How are you?- I'm very well indeed.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32You've brought an eclectic mix with you, haven't you?

0:26:32 > 0:26:33It's a funny old mixture, isn't it?

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I mean, we kick off with the Reds, with these carvings.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39If there's one thing you love, it's a lump of wood, right?

0:26:39 > 0:26:43- Absolutely.- So give us the low-down on these. Indian?- Possibly.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46I think they're going to make between £50 and £70,

0:26:46 > 0:26:47something like that.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Right. They're nice objects, aren't they?- I quite like them.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Well, the estimate's £50-£75.

0:26:52 > 0:26:58They paid £68, so they might be in line for a small bite of a profit.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Absolutely right. If things work out.- Good.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Next is the Czech glass candlestick.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08I think that I was born too soon to appreciate the finer qualities

0:27:08 > 0:27:10of Czech glass candlesticks.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12It's a bit of a blob, isn't it?

0:27:12 > 0:27:15It's the sort of thing that might... We put £20-£40 on it.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- What did they pay?- £50. - Oh, right. That's not so hot.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21Still, hope springs eternal.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24And now we cut to something that is the cutting edge

0:27:24 > 0:27:27of fashionable indoor furnishing, right?

0:27:27 > 0:27:31A Victorian walnut armchair with clapped-out upholstery.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34When it comes to being unsaleable, that is up there,

0:27:34 > 0:27:39and I can remember when we used to sell those for £350, £400.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43Now, we put £120-£180 on it, and I think I might be being a bit generous...

0:27:43 > 0:27:46They've picked up a little bit over the last six months, but...

0:27:46 > 0:27:49- What did they pay?- £175.

0:27:49 > 0:27:51They'll need to pick up a lot more.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53In fact, they're going to need to pick up so much

0:27:53 > 0:27:56they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00So, Chris, you were given a wholesome £7.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- What did you spend it on? - Well, here's my surprise.

0:28:03 > 0:28:09- A pair of Cloisonne vases. - OK. Can I...?- Yes, absolutely.

0:28:09 > 0:28:16Cloisonne, Chinese. The earliest pieces were from the 14th century.

0:28:16 > 0:28:18They're not, let me tell you, for £7,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21but they're very attractive, quite new, not antiques,

0:28:21 > 0:28:23but what do you think?

0:28:23 > 0:28:29- I quite like them.- Yes.- I thought you would.- The damage?- Minimal.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Well, you see, it's made of copper and enamel,

0:28:32 > 0:28:33so they're a bit fragile anyway.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37With £7 that was a pretty tall order, let me tell you!

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- And you spent the £7? - Absolutely.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Do you think we're going to get the £7 back?

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Oh, plus, Amy! Of course! I wouldn't have bought them otherwise.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47How much?

0:28:47 > 0:28:50I think we can reasonably expect double that.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- That's not bad.- Well, we watched his lips. That's the prediction.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55They may double their money.

0:28:55 > 0:29:01For the viewers at home, though, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the Cloisonne pots.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Right, then, Phil. A deep breath, methinks.- Oh, dear me.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06They've filled in holes with putty

0:29:06 > 0:29:08and have kind of polished it over,

0:29:08 > 0:29:10trying to make you think this is a perfect pair.

0:29:10 > 0:29:12But he only paid, what?

0:29:12 > 0:29:15He paid £7, poor lamb.

0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Well, we put £10 to £20 on them. - OK.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20More in fond hope than anything else.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. Laura and Dan.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28Their first item is the Tommy Handley record set.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32Could I just ask you, David Barby wouldn't have been their expert, would he?

0:29:32 > 0:29:33He certainly was.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36It's just there's a bit of a likeness there, do you think?

0:29:36 > 0:29:38- Do you know, you're right. - It's That Man Again.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's a bit too Barby for me, this.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44- It's like the old cracked record, isn't it?- Yes. I see that at, like, £10.

0:29:44 > 0:29:45- Yes.- But I've never been an ITMA fan,

0:29:45 > 0:29:49but David, being considerably older than you and I...

0:29:49 > 0:29:51This might in fact be his generation.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55- He's kind of founded in that era, isn't he?- Yes, absolutely.

0:29:55 > 0:29:56£10 to £20. They paid £25.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59- OK?- Yeah, swiftly moving on.- Lovely.

0:29:59 > 0:30:01Now, Goldscheider. Do you like that?

0:30:01 > 0:30:03I sort of do and I don't.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- It's what people want today, isn't it?- Yes.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08I think she's rather nice, you know.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13I think she's got the Vera Lynn, Goldilocks-type hairdo.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14- I mean, it is '40s, isn't it?- Yes.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18- We put a mean £40 to 60 quid on it. - Is that all?- Yes.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- It might do a little bit better. - They paid £90.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25I have to admit, I have seen some of this Goldscheider stuff,

0:30:25 > 0:30:29with its paper labels like that, make £100 to £150.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32- It'll make more, yes. - Lovely. That's exciting.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34This is a bit of meat and drink for you,

0:30:34 > 0:30:37because if there's one thing your sale room is renowned for,

0:30:37 > 0:30:39being in this part of the world and all...

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Is this a good buy to bring here or not?

0:30:41 > 0:30:44It probably should make more here than anywhere else.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46I don't know what they paid. It has a Worcester mark

0:30:46 > 0:30:48on the bottom. And it's...

0:30:48 > 0:30:54- ..ready to go.- We've put £30-£50 on it. What did they pay?- 70.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Double. Double what you think it might be.

0:30:57 > 0:30:59Well, we'll find someone with a moustache...

0:30:59 > 0:31:01Oh, yes?

0:31:01 > 0:31:04..who just happens to want a memento of their trip to Worcester.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06I don't know if you can think of anyone.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09I can't think of anybody with a moustache. Oh, a moustache?

0:31:09 > 0:31:10Oh, right. Just a thought.

0:31:10 > 0:31:15No, seriously, I would say they're going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19Now, Laura, Dan. £185 spent.

0:31:19 > 0:31:24£115 goes to Mr Barby, who is looking a little strange,

0:31:24 > 0:31:25I have to say.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Have you converted to Islam? That's what I want to know.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Almost. They're such a glammy couple,

0:31:32 > 0:31:35I had to buy something that was absolutely OTT.

0:31:35 > 0:31:36THEY LAUGH

0:31:36 > 0:31:38- They suit you. Fantastic.- My colour.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Very nice.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44These are typical 1970s, '80s.

0:31:44 > 0:31:45They haven't got any great age

0:31:45 > 0:31:49but they're what would be termed as white metal and paste amethyst,

0:31:49 > 0:31:51but they have that look, do they not?

0:31:51 > 0:31:54- They have the look.- I can see you on a stage, glittering away.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56- With a ball gown. - And do you wear pierced ears, or...?

0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Clip-on, actually.- These are actually clip-on earrings.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Well, there we go. It was meant to be.- Aren't they lovely?

0:32:02 > 0:32:05Well, they fitted your lobes beautifully, David, I have to say.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08I think he bought them for himself, really!

0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Well, I paid £65 for these.- OK.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- I've got my hair down. - Oh, they would definitely suit you.

0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Oh, they really look absolutely superb!- Made for her!

0:32:16 > 0:32:19- They do look good. - What are we going to do?

0:32:19 > 0:32:22I can't auction these, I need to keep them!

0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Do you think there might be profit in these?- There might be marginal.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28It's one of those things where my heart ruled my head.

0:32:28 > 0:32:32- I saw them and thought immediately of you!- There's honesty for you,

0:32:32 > 0:32:35which is very, very interesting, but you never know!

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Other people buy things, even at auction, on compulsion, don't they?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Yes.- So, we live in hope, from that point of view.

0:32:41 > 0:32:42We do.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44Now, though, for the viewers at home, let's find out

0:32:44 > 0:32:48what Philip Serrell thinks about David Barby's earrings.

0:32:49 > 0:32:52- There we go, Phil.- Gosh, thanks.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56This is what you might call a typical David Barby bonus buy item.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- What did he pay for these?- Well, I'll ask for your estimate first!

0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Well, I think I've been over-generous...- Yeah.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06..because Barby is a dear friend, but we put £20-30 on these.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- And that's your friendly estimate. - Yes.- Because he paid 65.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13And he's expecting the team - bless 'em - to take these,

0:33:13 > 0:33:16potentially, to make a profit on, as a bonus buy.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Did he not get on with them, no(?) - I think he did!

0:33:19 > 0:33:24Anyway, hardly a snowflake's chance, then, in the old proverbial?

0:33:24 > 0:33:25I'm not going to make any rash promises

0:33:25 > 0:33:28but I think he's struggling with those, I really do.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31With any luck, the team won't select them. Anyway, on that happy note,

0:33:31 > 0:33:34- will you be taking the sale today? - Absolutely.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36We're in safe hands.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46So, how are you feeling just at this moment - a bit tense?

0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Yeah...- A bit more excited, I think.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Are you? It's lovely to come to a sale room

0:33:51 > 0:33:53- that's absolutely crammed with folk. - It is, isn't it?

0:33:53 > 0:33:56And who knows, maybe they've all come here for your items?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- We hope so! - They've got good taste, they have.

0:33:59 > 0:34:01We sure do, you're quite right.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05The first lot up, though, are your tiggers, and here they come.

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Lot number 250 is the pair of carved wooden tigers.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12There we go. Bid me £30 to start.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Complete silence.

0:34:17 > 0:34:19£20, I have. At £20 only. And 5...

0:34:19 > 0:34:2130, 5, 40,

0:34:21 > 0:34:225, 50,

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Yes! Ha-ha!

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Yes!- At £70 on the contraption. Any more at all?

0:34:33 > 0:34:35At £70 on the net, and I sell, then

0:34:35 > 0:34:37at 70, and done. Thank you.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- There's money in tiggers! - Well done.- That's good.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Long live, tiggers!- Yeah.

0:34:42 > 0:34:43Now, here comes your candlestick.

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Lot number 251

0:34:46 > 0:34:49is a Czech Republic glass candlestick.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52Bid me for that. £20 to start.

0:34:52 > 0:34:53Don't be so mean.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Gone quiet. - Who's got a tenner?- Oh, no!

0:34:56 > 0:34:59£10 I'm bid. At 10... At £10 only. At 10,

0:34:59 > 0:35:0012, 15

0:35:00 > 0:35:04- 18, 20, 25, 30... - Look out, look out.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10£35 only. At 35, there's the bid.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12At 35... 40.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Yes!- 40 bid. £40.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15- £40.- And 5.

0:35:15 > 0:35:1945. At £45 and done, then, at £45 and done.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23Oh! Just off. £45, bad luck.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Minus £5 from that, which means overall, you're minus three.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28- That's all right.- We can make it back.- Now, the armchair.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Lot number 252

0:35:30 > 0:35:33is the Victorian walnut grandfather's chair. There you are.

0:35:33 > 0:35:36Bid me for that. Who's got...? I don't know, bid me £150

0:35:36 > 0:35:38to start. 150 I'm bid on the net,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41- at 150.- 150?

0:35:45 > 0:35:47Get in!

0:35:47 > 0:35:49210, 220, 230...

0:35:49 > 0:35:51What on earth do I know?

0:35:51 > 0:35:53240, 250...

0:35:53 > 0:35:54- 250.- Yes!

0:35:54 > 0:35:56250 on the machine. 260,

0:35:56 > 0:36:01270 on the machine. At £270 - is there any more?

0:36:01 > 0:36:04- 280...- I can't believe it. - Wow! Oh, I do, I do.

0:36:04 > 0:36:06300, at 310...

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- £310?!- (Yes!)

0:36:08 > 0:36:10330, 340, 350...

0:36:10 > 0:36:12Tim can't believe this!

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Well, nor can Serrell. Look at his face!

0:36:15 > 0:36:16Any more?

0:36:16 > 0:36:21- At £360 on the contraption. Done then at £360. And done.- Yes!

0:36:21 > 0:36:23THEY LAUGH

0:36:24 > 0:36:28£360! Well, if we take 200. So, that's 160.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31- That is £185.- Yes!

0:36:31 > 0:36:34You had minus three before, right? You are plus 182.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Now, I have to say... - Sir, may I shake your hand?

0:36:37 > 0:36:39Yes, big hug!

0:36:39 > 0:36:44Now, I have to say, there was a lot of sniffy chat at the auctioneer's.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Was there?- Well, there's some words to be eaten there! - THEY LAUGH

0:36:48 > 0:36:52You've proved it, you've made £185 profit on that chair,

0:36:52 > 0:36:53which is unbelievable.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?- Go for it! Go for it!

0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Yes, yes, I think so. - Risk seven pounds? Trust our man?

0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Yes.- Yes. - Well, that's a decision then.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Lot number 255,

0:37:02 > 0:37:04a pair of Cloisonne ginger jars.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06Start me off, £20, someone.

0:37:06 > 0:37:0720, I'm bid at 20. 20 bid.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09At £20 only, at 20.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Any more at all?

0:37:11 > 0:37:15At £20... And 5. 30, now. 30.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18- And 5, may I? At £30 bid. - THEY LAUGH

0:37:18 > 0:37:20At £30 and I sell then at 30.

0:37:20 > 0:37:21And done. Thank you.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Well done, Chris.- Well done, mate!

0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Well done, team. Well done. - That's marvellous, isn't it?

0:37:27 > 0:37:28You've made plus £23 on that.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31- I congratulate you. - Thank you very much.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Very good job, well done. You made the right decision there.

0:37:34 > 0:37:39Anyway, so that makes that five, yes? That means you are £205 up.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Well done!- Thank you!

0:37:41 > 0:37:44- And don't you say a word to the Blues, all right? Shtoom?- Shtoom.

0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Shtoom.- Sad.- Look sad, that's it.

0:37:46 > 0:37:50- That's a phenomenal result, well done.- I'm so excited!- Well done.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53..and 5? 20...

0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No. - No.- Good, we don't want you to know.

0:38:02 > 0:38:03THEY LAUGH

0:38:03 > 0:38:06- So, how confident are you feeling?- Not very!

0:38:06 > 0:38:09Because we went with our heart and bought things we loved,

0:38:09 > 0:38:11and I think that's the main thing.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12If it makes a profit, brilliant,

0:38:12 > 0:38:14we hope it does but we love them all.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16- Right.- Even the moustache cup.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Hopefully someone in the saleroom

0:38:18 > 0:38:20will feel the same way about them that we do.

0:38:20 > 0:38:23Yeah, well, look at the saleroom. It's absolutely jammed with folk!

0:38:23 > 0:38:27- It's packed.- First up then, kids, is Tommy Handley and here he comes.

0:38:27 > 0:38:32The late 1940s Tommy Handley set of recordings, It's That Man Again.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Were you there when they did this?

0:38:34 > 0:38:37He was.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39He was there when it was recorded!

0:38:39 > 0:38:41£10 to start, surely?

0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Oh, come on!- Oh!

0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Who's got a fiver for ITMA? - Oh, Lord.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50Fine, I'm bid at 5. At £5 only for ITMA.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52At £5 only, at 5.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Help him out, someone.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Bid's at the back at £5.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57- That's terrible.- Any more at all?

0:38:57 > 0:38:59They sell, then, at 5 and done.

0:38:59 > 0:39:03Oh, travesty! Travesty!

0:39:03 > 0:39:04Minus 20.

0:39:04 > 0:39:08Lot number 271 is the Goldscheider pottery mask.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Bid me 50 or £60 to start. Well, 20 I am bid.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12At 20 and 5.

0:39:12 > 0:39:1425 and 30, and 5.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16- It is worth much more than that. - And 40 bid.

0:39:16 > 0:39:20And 5? 50. 5, 60. 5, 70.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23- It's creeping up.- Go on, 75.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25Here's the bid at £75.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29And done, then, at £75 and done, thank you.

0:39:29 > 0:39:33- Oh.- £75 is what they call cheap.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Minus 15. OK, there we go.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Lot number 272

0:39:38 > 0:39:41is this rather lovely Worcester moustache cup.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43There you are. £50 to start.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Well, bid me. Bid me 30 to start.

0:39:47 > 0:39:51- Not looking good, this, is it? - This is terrible. This is terrible.

0:39:51 > 0:39:53Who's got £20?

0:39:53 > 0:39:55Oh, dear, dear, dear.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59At £20 only this is... 25. And 30, and 5.

0:39:59 > 0:40:0135, and 40.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03At £40 seated.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Is there any more? At £40.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07Oh, no, he's going to sell this!

0:40:07 > 0:40:09- And done, thank you. - This is a disaster.

0:40:09 > 0:40:14£40 is minus 30. That's 45, 55, 65.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15Minus 65.

0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Well, we're going to make a fortune on this one!- You're not. You're not! - THEY LAUGH
