0:00:03 > 0:00:06Hello, and welcome to Cambridgeshire.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Peterborough, to be precise.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Where the festival of antiques awaits our teams.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15So let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Peterborough is world-renowned as a centre for brick making.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50But today, it's home to literally thousands of bargain hunters.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Will our teams find the materials to build a solid foundation today,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59or will they simply drop a series of bricks?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03On today's show, the Reds find it difficult to agree.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05- The duck.- I don't think he likes it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06Don't think he likes it.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09How about that? Any good?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- With the best will in the world, the answer is no.- OK.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Whereas the Blues get along really rather too well.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I love working with him.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19He's so funny and he's just make it so fantastic. He's great!
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- I beg your pardon? - THEY LAUGH
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's rein these teams in.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Today, we've got two teams of partners.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30For the Reds, we've got Kerry and Terry.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35And for the Blues, we've got Lulubell and Peter. Hi, everybody.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- ALL: Hello.- Lovely to see you.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Kerry, how did you two lovebirds meet?
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Well, we met at 17, at basic training for our RAF careers.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Did you really?- We did.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47We got engaged after two-and-a-half years,
0:01:47 > 0:01:52but Terry got posted to Germany and things didn't work out, so, um...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Anyway, happy ending. We met 20 years later
0:01:55 > 0:01:58and we've been together for three-and-a-half years.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Well, how lovely is that!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02It's kind of super romantic, isn't it?
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Absolutely.- I think so. - Ah, how sweet!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So, what do you get up to now?
0:02:06 > 0:02:10I'm a gymnastics coach. I teach pre-school children during the day
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and then women's artistic gymnastics during the evenings and weekends.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18So, Terry, we've heard from Kerry that you were in the RAF.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Are you still in the RAF?- I am. 26 years on.- Gosh.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yeah.- Well done.- Man and boy.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24So, what is your role in the RAF?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm an air traffic controller by trade,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29however, for the last two years,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33I've been teaching new incumbents for the officers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- So you've become an instructor. - Yes, I have.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Kerry, you must be very proud of him.- I am. He works hard.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Good on you. And you're going to make a great team, aren't you?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Absolutely!- That's what we're looking forward to. Very good luck.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Now, you two lovebirds. You're all lovebirds on the programme today.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Where did you two meet? - We met on internet dating.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Was that one of those sites that you go clickety-click...?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01You scroll through and get rid of all the ones you think are a bit...
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Yes.- Not up to the scratch, shall we say?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Anyway, so you met up and you hit it off and started going out.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Yes. And two years down the line, here we are.- Well, isn't that nice!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14So, um...what do you do for your day job?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I'm a nurse and I work in the cardiac catheterisation labs.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Basically, um...in the X-ray department.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24We put in all sorts of things like pacemakers.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Stents?- Stents, pacemakers.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- We take out the clots from the heart attacks.- Lovely.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- All the good stuff.- So you're good at wiring, then?- Oh, yes!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I can wire anybody up these days.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38And, um...Peter, you're also a medic.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yes, yes. I'm a clinical scientist.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45I started my career with the guys that invented test-tube babies.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Plus I'm also interested, also have expertise in stem cell biology,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- which everyone likes at the moment. - 'Course they do.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56We all want some bit to replace some other bit that's not so good.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Yeah. We can all live for ever. - There we go.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I'll look to you, Pete, for the bit that I want replacing sometime.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Good. The joy is I'm about to give you £300 to spend at your leisure.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Hopefully profitably. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13And off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Stem cells, eh?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I wonder which bit I need?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I know what our teams need.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Guiding, counselling, chivvying.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Yes, our experts wear many hats.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Quite literally, in Thomas Plant's case.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34But that won't stump Charlie Ross. A real all-rounder.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37But he'll never get that ball back now.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Now, what do you know about antiques?- Not a lot.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46That's not what I want to hear. What do you want to buy?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Oh. Some silver, perhaps.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Some silver.- Pottery, a Ming vase.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Get real! Get real!
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- What are our tactics? - To win. I'm highly competitive.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Highly competitive. What are you going to do?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'm going to try and keep her in check.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06As an air traffic controller, I'll guide you into the bargains.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- Louise, what about you? - I like silver.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Something Chinesey, as well, perhaps.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12So we want a bit of Chinese silver.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK. let's go.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15I can tell, I can tell.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm going to be led on this one.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Is this what normally happens? - Yeah, yeah.- Absolutely.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The Reds are flying into formation.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I think Kerry plans to lead an efficient and smooth operation.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32See anything you like? There's got to be something here for you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- OK.- Definitely.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Oop! - Terry's having a crashing time.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43What was I saying?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Come on, Terry.- Sorry.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Oh! What have we got here? - What's that?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Well, our medical wing aren't hanging around.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Scales.- Oh, look! - Wonderful! Look at that!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Yeah.- When you perform an appendectomy,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- you can weigh what you've taken out. - Beautiful. Yeah.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05It's letter scales.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06A letter scale, yeah.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Oh, yeah.- Are you going first class? - All the time(!)
0:06:10 > 0:06:13All the time(!) Is there any way else to travel?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Isn't that a beautiful object! - MAN: Tiffany & Co.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19No! Isn't that lovely! Buy that for the name.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- So, what's, er...? - Over to you, team.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- What's the list price first. - What's the list price first!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32The list price is about £153.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Cor! 153?- That's very precise. - That's very precise!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Can we start at 50, or...? - LAUGHTER
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- I could do it for 120. - May I make a suggestion?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I think it's a fabulous thing,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46but it's almost the first thing you've seen.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- That's a good point, actually. - And you've got an hour.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52And this lady will still be here, won't you, my dear?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54You can't guarantee, of course, this will still be here.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58This might well have flown. It's a lovely thing. Thank you.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I'm almost certain you'll see us later.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03He may be right.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I've just found these medals. I know you're interested in militaria.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08They are World War II medals.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10They're a nice little group.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13You've got the Defence Medal here, the War Medal.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16So that's the Defence, the War Medal,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and the Star for, er...39-45 Star.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Are they not quite common? - They are quite common,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25but they are getting more and more collectable.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What sort of price do they fetch at auction?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Between £20 and £30.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33I think they're going to be a bit too much to make a profit.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- OK. We'll leave it for now. - I think so. We can always come back.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39In, out, no messing about.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41These Reds are a tight unit.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, you silver people, have a look in here.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46You might find something.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- All the silver's gone. - All the silver's gone.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- All the silver's gone, you see. - I have some pocket watches.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Who's the silver pocket watch collector? Is it you?- A little bit.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right. What can you tell me about that?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Go on, Peter, dazzle us. - Well, it's a pocket watch.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04May I say, congratulations.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06You've won tonight's star prize(!)
0:08:06 > 0:08:10What do you normally pay for your silver pocket watches?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Knowing you, not a lot!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13A fiver.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Oh, no! The stallholder's gone!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Has he fainted? - LAUGHTER
0:08:18 > 0:08:20He shot himself, at that price.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23We can ask. How much is it, sir?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Well, I was looking for £70 for it. - Were you?- Yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I mean, would you take £50?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Um...I'll take £60.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36What do you think? Well, it's the old game of profit.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Do you want to win the competition
0:08:37 > 0:08:40or do you want to be the man who comes second?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I have a gold-plated one, if you can't afford a gold one. - That's a good make.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Elgin. Very good. That's an American watch, as you know.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49In working order.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Handsome thing, isn't it? Isn't it handsome?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- And how much is that one?- £50.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Ooo!- You know, that's deliciously tempting, to be honest.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03An Elgin pocket watch for that sort of money.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It's a beautiful thing. - Would you do £35?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- £40.- What do you think, team?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- Yeah, let's go for it. - You always wanted a pocket watch.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14This is a damn good Elgin maker.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16There can't be any downside in it.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Shake our hands?- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Thank you very much indeed, sir. - Thank you.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23That's really kind. You've been a real sport.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Thank you.- Thanks very much.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Look at that!- Perfect! - It would look good in my waistcoat.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34With 16 minutes gone, that's a timely first purchase by our doc.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Come on, Reds, I thought you were on a mission.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39So in this stall here,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41there's quite a lot of interesting items
0:09:41 > 0:09:44relating to the RAF, etcetera.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Look here, you've got some trench art vases,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51models of planes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53How well do they sell, the trench art?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well, the trench art...it does sell.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58These are obviously going to be...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01because they've got the German emblem on.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- It is a pair. I think there's 48. - 48.
0:10:04 > 0:10:0748 on the pair. So these are shells from the First World War,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- which have been obviously fired. - Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14And I must admit, I've not seen double-headed eagle ones on there before.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- What's your best price on these?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- If you don't haggle me down, 40.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22If we don't haggle you down! What is this?!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24We'll haggle you down to 35.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I can't. I won't, sorry. - What about in between, then?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's got to be 40, I'm sorry.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- 37?- No, I can't.- We've got to make the best price, haven't we?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- The bottom line is 40. - Right, £40, then.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- - Our first sale. - Thank you very much.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- 40.- Cheers.- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Your first item down.- Yes! - Get in, get in.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I think Terry's in the flying seat here.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Meanwhile, the Blues are still weighing up those scales.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's unusual to find something of that quality.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58I bet you could scour up and down every other stand here
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and not find a piece of Tiffany.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- I would like to buy it for £100. - I was thinking of £100.- Yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Something along those lines. - I was thinking more 90.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08THEY LAUGH
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- We could try 90.- Yeah, settle on 95.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Now, look, we're not concentrating. - No, we're not.- The clock is ticking.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Let's have a look.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But you've got to have a good look.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23But is what you're looking at any good? Eh, Reds?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25It's an aeroplane.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Yeah, you know, those aeroplanes never sell for that much money.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- OK.- They are always difficult. The military is always very popular.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- That's in quite good condition. - That is, but it's not very old.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Isn't it?- Not very old at all.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- I like that. What do you think?- I don't know. Has it got any age to it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- No great age.- Nothing at all? - No.- That's a shame.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Quite moderne.- Yeah, OK.- Sorry about that.- No, it's all right.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Don't be sorry, Thomas. That's what you're here for, old boy.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54There's an example of something 30, 40 years ago
0:11:54 > 0:11:57you've have absolutely died to buy.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Late Victorian-Edwardian nursing chairs. Very appropriate.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Oh, yes.- Nursing chairs.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05They would originally have been part of a nine-piece salon suite.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Beautifully inlaid in the Sheraton style.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- But today...- How much at auction?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Well, they'll almost be given away. It's a tragedy
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Because there's so much work in them. What a shame.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Nice things. YOu can see the workmanship in them.- Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Well, at least the Blues seem to be of the same mind.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26The Reds, however...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- What about this golf set? - Bit of a mismatch, I'm afraid.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Quite an exciting clock, sir. - That's awful.- The duck?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Don't think he likes it.- No.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Solid brass. Plated brass. - No, I'm not bothered about that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- How about that? Any good? - With the best will in the world, the answer is no.- OK.- Sorry.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Tick-tock.- Yeah, coming, coming.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Sorry. Thank you very much.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50You didn't like that one? It's dispatched.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52The flight hits some turbulence,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56which usually happens just after they serve the drinks, I find!
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Speaking of liquid refreshment...
0:12:59 > 0:13:05What is it that the average Brit enjoys most with a delicious cup of tea?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You've got it. A biscuit.
0:13:10 > 0:13:16And in the 19th century it took the biscuit manufacturers nanoseconds
0:13:16 > 0:13:20to clock on to the fact that people liked a tin to keep their biscuits in.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24And so they started producing all sorts of novelty biscuit tins,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27which are extremely collectible today.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28Take this one.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It looks just like a Georgian knife box.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35A mahogany object that would sit on the sideboard.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Except this wasn't made as a biscuit tin.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It was made by a toffee manufacturer.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46There you go - "Williams's Famous Chocolates & Toffees."
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Delicious.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52But Williams's knew that once they'd sold the tin box with the toffees in
0:13:52 > 0:13:54and the toffees had all been gobbled up,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55what the owner would do
0:13:55 > 0:14:00was to use this on their smart sideboard as a biscuit box.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04So, it's a toffee box AND it's a biscuit box.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Next door to it we've got another novelty tin box.
0:14:08 > 0:14:15This time slightly rustier, but in the amusing form of a top hat.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Around the hat band it says "College".
0:14:18 > 0:14:23And above that a little detail showing a smart schoolboy
0:14:23 > 0:14:26wearing his shiny silk top hat.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Now, I guess this tin dates from before the First World War
0:14:30 > 0:14:33around about 1910, 1914.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Try and remove the top, you can't.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Turn it upside down and it's got a little slotty.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43It isn't a box for anything, apart from money.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45What's nice about this thing is,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49despite the condition, and it is quite rusty and a bit bashed about,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51it's incredibly rare.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Today here in Peterborough you could buy this little fellow for £25.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59What's it worth? Look it up on an internet site
0:14:59 > 0:15:03and an identical one is available for £125.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08That's an automatic £100 profit.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Sounds like a bit of a sweetie to me.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Now, both teams have two purchases to go,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and with less than half the time remaining,
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Thomas is getting antsy.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I really want something to jump out at me and it's just not at the moment.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- That's never going to happen. It never happens like that. - Does it not?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- No, you've got to look for it.- OK. - It never jumps out at you.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37You've really got to go, hunt, search, find what you can find.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- We need a plan.- OK, let's go.- The plan is to look, keep on looking.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- Don't stop. That's the plan. - That's a great plan.- Come on.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's as good a plan as any.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Our medics, however, are having too much fun doing the rounds.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51THEY LAUGH
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Have you seen this?- What is that? - This is...
0:15:55 > 0:15:59should you be lucky enough to have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01nonuplets...
0:16:01 > 0:16:03If ever you have nonuplets, that's the thing you need.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05You could feed them all at the same time.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07And as a nurse, of course, a piece of cake for you.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I've always wanted one of them!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Me, too, Peter.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Agricultural feeders are a must-have. Aren't they?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20What fun. I just have to say, when I go away today, if ever I'm ill,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I want Louise to be my nurse and I want Peter to be my doctor.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28In fact, I might go away and invent an illness so that I can see them again,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30they've been that good fun.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Oh, Charlie's brilliant.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Fantastic. A scholar and a gentleman.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Yeah. I love working with him. He's so funny and he's made it so fantastic.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39He's great. Yeah!
0:16:39 > 0:16:40I beg your pardon?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42THEY LAUGH
0:16:42 > 0:16:45While Charlie and the medics enjoy a bit of a love-in,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48the Reds haven't deviated from their mission.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50That's a nice belt there, isn't it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Can I have a look at that, please?
0:16:52 > 0:16:54That's how it would look if it were cleaned up.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Yeah. So what... Nurse's belt this was?- Nurse's one.- EPNS.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01So that would be the front piece and this is the back.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06DO yo know the reason why the nurses had silver and silver-plated belts?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I've no idea.- Infection.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Silver just doesn't carry it. That's why they're silver-plating hospital equipment now.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17And this probably is made in about the 1900s,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21late 19th century, early 20th century.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22What have you got on that?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Er, the best on that is 50 quid.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25OK.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I mean, is that your very, very best?
0:17:28 > 0:17:3040 quid, that's it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Really?- Yeah. - No more than the 40?- No.
0:17:33 > 0:17:3535 and we'll take it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yeah, go on.- 35.- Yeah, done.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Our traffic controller has landed a second deal for the Reds.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Interesting, very interesting.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Now, look, team, we've got 25 minutes left.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50There's a nice lot of buildings over there with all sorts of things in.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52What about heading over there?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yeah, I'd like that Tiffany thing.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Ah, that is gnawing at you, isn't it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02How much... What was the price?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04She wanted about 100 but we'll knock her down.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09She wanted more than... Be realistic. She wanted 120, I think.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Did she?- Yeah.- If you can buy... Yeah, she did.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13If you can buy it for 100, we'll buy it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Come on, I'll come with you. - Come on, then.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Oh, blimey. The number of miles... I tell you what,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22this Tiffany thing will owe me about eight pairs of shoes by the time we buy it.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- What have you found there? - A little dress.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- That is so sweet.- Awful?- Isn't it?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Do you think?- Oh, it's marvellous.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32You know who that is, don't you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- George VI.- And Queen Elizabeth.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Bowes-Lyons. Yeah. Queen Elizabeth.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- And that would be done for... - The 1937.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42..coronation.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44What a bit of memorabilia.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Hi. How much is the dress?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- It's with the Victory doll. - The doll comes with it?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- That's the girl whose item it is. - Oh, wow.- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It's £250.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- The lot?- Yeah. - No, we haven't got enough money.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I suggest we move on. We've got one more item to buy.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- And time is always against us. Come on.- Let's go.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Yep, visiting time on the wards is nearly up, Blues.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Er, Blues?
0:19:10 > 0:19:14My birthstone is diamond so I'm looking for a rock to go on my finger.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15A big rock.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- A large rock to go on your finger. - Finger, yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Did you hear that? Large rock.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I feel faint!
0:19:23 > 0:19:24I get that response a lot!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28Have you a large diamond, sir? I've got a buyer here.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29THEY LAUGH
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Look, concentrate, concentrate! Come on, team.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Yes, take them straight to theatre, nurse.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Operation - find two organs.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41I mean, bargains.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- Right, one last item. I've got an idea. Just a quick idea. Let's split forces.- OK.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Um, have a look down there.
0:19:48 > 0:19:54- Not a bad stand. Have a look there and I want to look on this side.- OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You look down there, I'll look on this side.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59And then we'll meet back in a couple of minutes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I just get very worried because they're not picking things.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06I seem to be sort of leading it, so it's awkward.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09That's why I've sent them off to do their own looking.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Cos I know there's something there. And I want them to spot it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17So, a solo flight for Terry and Kerry.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20All of the Blue team are descending on the scales.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- There it is. Yeah.- It's still there.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- It's still there.- What does that tell you?- It tells me it's mine.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- I'm not sure it does tell you, "It's mine."- Or it's ours.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Well... SHE LAUGHS
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Could we offer you £100 for that?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Um, I've seen them sell for 150.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Yeah, but I haven't bought it.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Is you've sold them to everybody else except me!
0:20:41 > 0:20:42LAUGHTER
0:20:42 > 0:20:44105?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- It's really got to be 120, actually.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53So, while the scales are hanging in the balance,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57the Reds have found something Thomas likes.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- This is by Thomas Webb.- OK. - So it's a really good make.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02It's got a name on it. Webb. Webb's Glass.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04It's a beautiful glass bowl.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Pretty colour. Really pretty colour.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09And, of course, you can tell it's been hand-blown
0:21:09 > 0:21:13because of this mark here. Do you know what that is called?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- No.- A pontil mark.- OK. - And then this is
0:21:16 > 0:21:18the acid-etched signature for Thomas Webb.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20My only concern
0:21:20 > 0:21:22is it's not a vase. It's a bowl.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- But it's a nice bowl. - It is a nice bowl.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29You could put some lovely, big, thick...big flowers like hydrangeas
0:21:29 > 0:21:32or something like that in there, and it would look very attractive
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- on a centrepiece. - Can we come back to it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Have we got time?- How long? - Have you got time?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- 12 minutes left.- OK.- We could dash over there and back again.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43What's your best on that for now?
0:21:44 > 0:21:4615?
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Never mention a price.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52No, I think probably 18.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- 18.- 18 would be the best. I know what we paid for that.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I could see that in my house actually.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59But you want to go... We've got the price of 18.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Do you want to go and have a look and you can come back if you really want...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Yes.- Come on. - Love to. Come on, let's go.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Quickly, quickly now.- Quickly.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yes, the pressure is on, Blues.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13How about 110 cash in your hand, no questions asked?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Is it just that piece you're interested in or would you...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18There's a little piece of silver there.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20What have we got here?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- A dice shaker with a silver... - Oh, look at that.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Look at that. Coronation June 1911 George V.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Dice shaker. How much is this little object?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- 15.- 15?!
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- One-five.- It's a great thing that, you know.- Yeah, I like that.- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Um...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- So what can we do on the... balance?- Of the two?- The two items.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44STALLHOLDER: On the two...
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Don't say 100 because I think she will throw you out.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Um... - It's always worth a try.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53120 the two?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55125 and you've got a deal.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So you're getting the Tiffany for 110.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58- We are.- We are.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04- If that's 15, that's 110.- Brilliant. - There's a mathematical answer to everything.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Madam, thank you very much. You're an absolute angel.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Well done, Blues. You've got it all sewn up.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14No such luck for Thomas, whose crew is still circling.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18What do you think to the Tiffany light?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Oh, really?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Really?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Oh...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24240.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I'm going to go round and look from the other side.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28- Hang on.- Can I...
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- STALLHOLDER: It is modern. - It is moderne.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- It's probably 30-years-old, I would have thought.- OK.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40- You know, with these taps here simulating the gas, isn't it?- OK.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Five minutes left and Thomas is talking tough.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- We haven't got any time to look any more.- OK.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- If you want my honest opinion, we haven't.- Back to the bowl, then.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- I'm afraid it could be. - It's a pretty good bet.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Unless I said... Unless something happens, which I said wouldn't happen -
0:23:59 > 0:24:02something jumps at you - but it's not going to. These are static items.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04No, let's go for it. That bowl was nice.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Yeah, it's not a big risk. It's not a big risk.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- You can make a profit. - You can make a profit.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- We can win.- Bonus buy. - You can win. Come on!
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Jump to it, Reds.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- I hope they've not sold it. - It's here.- Of course it's not sold.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- It's there. - It'd be just our luck.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I think it's a good thing. It's a pretty bowl. It's a very pretty bowl.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Can we do a deal?
0:24:26 > 0:24:27MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
0:24:27 > 0:24:29OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Shall we shake on it?- Course we can.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well done. God, I thought we'd never get there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36LAUGHTER
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Don't worry, Thomas. It's all over now.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42That's it, time's up.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Let's check out what the Red team bought before we fork out...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48all that profit.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50The trench art shell cases took their fancy first.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53£40 paid.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Then, after disagreeing on most items...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- ..Plated brass. - I'm not bothered about that.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02..the nurse's belt brought them together for 35.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And in a very last minute they settled on the art deco glass bowl
0:25:06 > 0:25:09for £18.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11So, guys, that's it. I didn't think we'd do it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- We left it to the last minute. - YOu did leave it to the last minute.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Yeah, but it's good fun leaving it to the last minute.- Do you think?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- I think it is good fun. - A bit of pressure.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23You spent practically nothing, I know. What's the total?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25£93.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Is that all you spent? - Shockingly awful.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29- Who's got the £207?- I have.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- I don't know why we bother giving you £300...- We tried, we tried.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35..if 207 goes across as a bonus buy.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- £207, Thomas.- Go on, Thomas.- What are you going to spend the 207 on?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45207 - I have no idea. But hopefully I'm going to spend all of it for you two.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46I hope so, cos we failed miserably.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Don't feel badly about it. Thomas is very good at spending it all.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Good luck, Thomas. Have a cup of tea, team.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought. Eh?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Peter took the lead on their first purchase.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00I wanted a pocket watch.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04A gold plated full hunter for £40.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Louise really hung on for those letter scales.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Purchased eventually for 110.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Along with the dice shaker that snuck in at the end at £15.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- Well, wasn't that fun?- It was... - It was fantastic.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- More fun that treating patients. - Definitely.- You didn't need a doctor at all, did you?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Not once.- We were lucky.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Oh, yes, absolutely.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- So, did you have a good time? - Fantastic, thanks, Tim.- Good.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34And what was your total expenditure?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37We spent £165.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39That is quite a mature number. Thank you.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43165. So I'd like £135 of left-over lolly.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45If I could have that. That's lovely.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47All together.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49How did you get on with Charlie Ross today? Was it pretty good?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Fantastic.- Was it? Yeah. - He's a star.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57So if you had to write his CV, you'd give him a three-star write-up?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Oh, five-star.- Ten out of ten.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04I've not seen the man stop smiling. And here comes £135.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm going off to buy some medical instruments.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07And good luck, Charlie.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11Meanwhile, we're heading west to Devonshire
0:27:11 > 0:27:15to the cathedral city of Exeter. How lovely.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17A trip to Exeter is not complete
0:27:17 > 0:27:22without a visit to the city's Royal Albert Memorial Museum.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Today I'm in the natural history galleries to look at the Sladen Collection,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29named after William Percy Sladen,
0:27:29 > 0:27:34who put together the most extraordinary collection of echinoderms.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38What do I know about echinoderms? Not a lot really.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43But someone who does is assistant curator Holly Morganroth.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46So, tell us about these weird and wonderful creatures?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Cos you've got millions of them knocking around, haven't you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:50We do. We do have a fair few.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Echinoderms are fantastic.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55They are one of the few groups of animals that are found
0:27:55 > 0:27:57solely in the sea.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00There aren't any fresh-water species or terrestrial ones.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And to me they are a sea urchin or a starfish. Is that right?
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Yes, sea urchins and starfish but there's also
0:28:06 > 0:28:11sea cucumbers, which are long, thin, lumpy organisms.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And feather stars and sea lilies, which are beautiful.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16They do look more like plants than animals.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Why do you think that Sladen was so particularly fascinated by these things?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I think one of the reasons was that echinoderms can be found
0:28:23 > 0:28:25in some of the earliest fossils.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28So particularly in this area, places like Lyme Regis,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31are particularly famous for their starfish and their sea urchins.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34They are found right from the rock pools
0:28:34 > 0:28:36all the way down to the deepest oceans,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39which some of the famous marine voyagers explored.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44This echinoderm collection is second only to that found in the Natural History Museum in London.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48But here in Exeter they also house the works of marine biologist
0:28:48 > 0:28:50and author, Philip Henry Gosse
0:28:50 > 0:28:54who is also an accomplished illustrator.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58This is one of his books, The British Sea-Anemones and Corals.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00And if I open it up to the title page,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03there you can see the title of the book
0:29:03 > 0:29:08and opposite it is an illustration of sea anemones,
0:29:08 > 0:29:11and throughout the book the plates show
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Gosse's artistic skills in spades.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18What he's done is to group on each of these plates
0:29:18 > 0:29:24a variety of marine creatures, but not necessarily in positions
0:29:24 > 0:29:28that you would find them were you to go fishing about on the seashore.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33What the museum has got is a series of his original pastel drawings.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38So these are the component parts that he might have seen around British shores
0:29:38 > 0:29:42that he then translated into the decorative plates
0:29:42 > 0:29:47which would have gone to make up the popularity of his books
0:29:47 > 0:29:49when they came to be published.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52The big question today is, of course, just how starry-eyed
0:29:52 > 0:29:55are our teams going to be getting over at the auction?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02100. And 10. 20.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04All bid at £120.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08All done? £120. I'm selling.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Well, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be in Stansted Mountfitchet again
0:30:13 > 0:30:15at Sworders sale room with John Black.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- How are you, John? - Very well.- Good.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21It's lovely to be here. First up are these bits of trench art.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Rather nice.- Any good? - I think they are.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27I think they're probably Austro-Hungarian with a twin eagle.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- Yes.- Er, I think they're dated 1915 underneath as well.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Yes.- Um...
0:30:34 > 0:30:35So we've put £40-60.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- Have you?- Hmm.- 40-60. Excellent.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40£40 was paid.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Now, what about this belt?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Is it a belter?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I think it is. It's silver-plate rather than silver.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47And how much do you think it's worth?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Between 30 and 50.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Yep. £35 paid, so that's OK.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Now this team's strategy is clearly to spend
0:30:53 > 0:30:56the most miserable amount of money possible.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01They only spent £93, of which 18 went on this blue bowl.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05I think it's rather nice. I think 40-60 is...
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- what we see it at.- Do you really? - Yeah.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11I think given a bit of space, I think it should do that.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14So, we're predicting a decent profit on that,
0:31:14 > 0:31:15which may save their bacon,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17in which case they won't need the bonus buy,
0:31:17 > 0:31:20but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- OK, Kerry and Terry. Your eyes are shut.- They are.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- You won't open them till I tell you, will you?- No.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30OK. Well, on the word of "go", now you can look.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32THere you are.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- I know you were quite competitive. - Absolutely.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37This is a very competitive game.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38Croquet.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Is it complete? - It's absolutely complete.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44It's all there. You have the clubs, you have the balls,
0:31:44 > 0:31:45you have the sticks, you have the hoops.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- And it's good that you can wheel it in and out of your garden.- OK.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49How much did you buy it for?
0:31:49 > 0:31:50£90.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51£90.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55It was marked 110. I believe it should make a profit.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Do you think it could make £150, Tom?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- It should do.- Could do, couldn't it?
0:31:59 > 0:32:00- Wow.- It's all there,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- it's well presented.- I like it. - I like it, too.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05(GRUFFLY) I like it lots!
0:32:05 > 0:32:09I think you like it more now than when you first saw it. Would that be right?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's a shock. We didn't really know what to expect.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14No, course not. You weren't expecting something on wheels.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15LAUGHTER
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- The boy's done good, hasn't he? - I think so.- I think so, too.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23Right now let's find out whether the auctioneer thinks the boy's done good or not.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Well, John, I'm not going to pass it over to you.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30But you can take it as read that it's a family nine-club set.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Good lot.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35We've only put £50-80 but a great piece of kit.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38When's the last time you saw a nine-person set?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I don't think I've ever seen a nine-person set? Have you?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43I haven't.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Anyway, your estimate is 50-80.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Thomas paid £90. He really rates it.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49And who knows, he could be right, couldn't he?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Right, that's it for the Reds. Now for the jolly old Blues.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57First up for them is the hunter watch, but, sadly, in gold plate.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02That's right. An American Elgin full hunter pocket watch.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04£40-60...
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- As much as that. - ..we estimate it.- Have you really?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09When I used to catalogue these things,
0:33:09 > 0:33:10I used to put £8-12 on those
0:33:10 > 0:33:15and think myself jolly lucky if I got a lot of ten of them in a plastic bag.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Times have changed. - £40-60. That's very good.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Next is the sterling-silver scales
0:33:20 > 0:33:22stamped Tiffany.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Uh-huh. Another nice lot.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- We've only put £30-50.- Ooh.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29That's completely out of balance.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- £110 they paid.- Oh, dear.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- We're out of kilter here, John. - Mm-hm.- Off the scale, mate.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Next is the dice shaker. There's a must-have lot.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44With the coronation of 1911, £20-30 is all we've put.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46It's missing a little bit as well.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Yes.- On the top with the crown.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- No dice.- No dice either.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56£15 only paid, so that's at least potentially a profitable item.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Mm-hm.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Otherwise I think they're going to be whistling for it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02So let's look at the bonus buy.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- Lulu, Pietro, are you ready for this?- Oh, yes.- We certainly are.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10YOu spent 165. £135 went to the Charles Ross.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Charles, what did you spend it on?
0:34:12 > 0:34:16I spent it on a large, large piece of...
0:34:16 > 0:34:18SHE GASPS
0:34:18 > 0:34:19..furniture.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Oh, gosh.- Wow.- I love it. Yeah.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Something that drew me towards it was the quality of it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28This is really, really good mahogany.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Flame mahogany on the bottom.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34We've got wonderful scrolling supports, delicate feet.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36As an example, it's a really good one.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- How much did you pay?- Well, what's it worth?- That's the big question.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40- What's it worth?- 20 quid?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Oh!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Oh, Doctor, Doctor!
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Give me a break, Matron, honestly! - I don't know.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- 110?- £60. 110 did you say?- Yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- I paid £60 for it. - Very good.- Not bad.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55- No.- How much will it get at auction?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00I would estimate it in my sale room at £60-80.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Wonderful.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Hold on because we are going to find out from the auctioneer
0:35:04 > 0:35:06what he thinks about Charlie's mirror.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Well, it's your turn to show me yours. How do you rate it?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Um, I would have thought it's probably going to be worth
0:35:13 > 0:35:15between £30 and £40.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17£30-40.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Charlie Ross paid 60. and really rates it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23It's quite an ordinary, plain Victorian mahogany mirror.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25It's a fairly typical model
0:35:25 > 0:35:29but the quality of the mahogany is quite high, isn't it?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- It's got a nice flame on the stand. - Mm-hm.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36And those nice scrolly supports crisply carved.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Very nice arched top, too.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Good. Well, we'll see, won't we? - We will, Tim.- We will.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4455. 60.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Five. 70. £70.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49All done. Selling away now.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53Kerry, Tel, you're on the edge.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56How does it feel, Terry, to be on the edge?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I'm buzzing. It's brilliant.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00A lot of people here, you know.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- I've seen. It's good.- Yeah, yeah.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- They pitched up.- They have. We just want them to bid now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06I know.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09First up are the artillery trench art shell jobbies
0:36:09 > 0:36:11and here they come.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1320 for the shell cases. 20, thank you.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- More than that.- 25, 28.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20£28 there. 30. 32. 35.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- 38. 40.- Yes!- 42.- Look at this.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26£42 and I'm selling now.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Yes!
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Plus £2. Nothing the matter with that.- That's all right.- Perfect.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35£30 for this lovely belt there.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37£30. 20 if you wish now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Any interest?- Not good.- Please.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42£10 for this belt. £10, thank you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45At £10. No-one else? We're going to sell, then.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- At £10. On my left now. - You're joking.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51This is unexpected. £10 is minus 25,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54which means overall you're minus 23.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Oh...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Now, are you going to make it on the blue vase?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- This is going to do it. - Here it comes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- We can start the bidding here straight in at £40.- Yes!
0:37:03 > 0:37:04- 40 I'm bid.- Nice one.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Any advance on £40 now?
0:37:06 > 0:37:1042, 45, 48, 50.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14At £50 now. Any further interest now?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15- That's amazing.- 55?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- £50.- 20 more...
0:37:18 > 0:37:20That is plus £32.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23That's a proper score, isn't it? Which wipes out your 23,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26which means you are plus £9.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Oh!
0:37:27 > 0:37:28£9. Now there's a total.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Hang on a minute.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- You're not to say a word. - I can't say anything.- No.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36This is your decision and your decision alone.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37You can't refer to Thomas.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40You've listened to everything he's told you in the past.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44You have to decide. You have £9 of folding money in your pocket.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Oh...
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Are you going to go with the croquet set and have a punt or not?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Yes, we're going to go for it. - We are.- We're going to go for it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55The decision is made. We're going with it, and here it comes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58We can start the bidding here straight in at £40.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Any advance? 42, 45.
0:38:01 > 0:38:0448, 50, 55.
0:38:04 > 0:38:0860. Five. 70. Five.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1080. Five. 90. Five.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15£95 in the jacket. At £95 and I'm selling to you, sir.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- £95!- £95!
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- You clever, clever team.- And you two thought it would make a loss.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Well, isn't that brilliant? You were confident, you were sure,
0:38:25 > 0:38:27and I congratulate you.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27I don't know why I can't believe it cos I'm out of date with my prices.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20Minus 55.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Now, listen, that could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:24 > 0:41:25OK.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Was that not great?- Oh, yes. - It was great.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Have you been chatting at all about the scores?- ALL: No.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Because there is a world of difference between you,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41and on Bargain Hunt we don't have losers any more, we just have runners-up,
0:41:41 > 0:41:45and the runners-up today by a magnificent margin are the Blues.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46THEY CHEER
0:41:46 > 0:41:48THEY GROAN
0:41:48 > 0:41:52It all started off so well, Charlie, didn't it?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54That £20 profit on your watch
0:41:54 > 0:41:58and then it went steadily...downhill all the way.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Very much.- But you're not in a drip about it at all.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Not at all.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03You all right, Doc?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Yeah, we was robbed!
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- How's your patient getting on? - THEY LAUGH
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Very, very good fun. Thank you or being such a sporting team.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13- But the victors today...- Whoo!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15I'm glad to say I'm giving them folding money.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20Oh, look at this! 14 whole pounds. There we go. Four little ones.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Now, what are you going to spend all that money on, Kerry?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- What do you reckon? - A pint on the way home, I think!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30It's a good result, helped along by the croquet set, of course,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33which was a magnificent bonus-buy contribution.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Thank you very much for that.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- And the £32 profit on your blue Webb vase...- Yes.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40..was extraordinary.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43So I shall never be crabby about somebody who only spends £93
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- when you can turn in with a decent profit. So well done. - Thank you very much.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- You enjoyed it, Terry? - It's been brilliant.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- You can walk away with pride. - Indeed I can.- You can walk tall.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55In fact, you can join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Yes?- Yes!
