0:00:06 > 0:00:08Back in the time of the English Civil War,
0:00:08 > 0:00:14the good folk of Peterborough were much divided between supporting Charles I
0:00:14 > 0:00:15and Oliver Cromwell.
0:00:15 > 0:00:21So, today it's not so much a question of a battle between the Roundheads and the Cavaliers,
0:00:21 > 0:00:23more between the reds and the blues.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26So, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:55 > 0:01:01The Royalists took a bit of a pasting and were sent packing by the Parliamentarians.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03but that was all in the past.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Today, we're at the East of England Showground,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08where we've got our own right royal contest.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Let's take a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17This is a game for the genteel of spirit.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20See how moral codes fly out of the window
0:01:20 > 0:01:21when a good deal is required.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23If I throw in my daughter?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We lift the lid on how best to buy a bargain.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30As you pull down the handle, the lid lifts up.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Just in case your mind isn't on the subject, a quick reminder of the rules.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45The team wins that makes the most profit or the least loss at auction later.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Got it?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So, let's steam into action!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54On today's teams, we have, for the reds, Victoria and John.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59And for the blues, the father and daughter combo, David and Emma. Hi, everybody.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Lovely to see you. Victoria, how did you two meet?
0:02:02 > 0:02:07I work for a motorcycle manufacturer and part of my job is to loan press bikes out.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And John turned up one day in his leathers
0:02:09 > 0:02:12and I couldn't resist!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- Are you a biker yourself?- Sort of. I've got my licence, but I haven't ridden for quite a while.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I mainly go pillion with John when he's out and about.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- John, you're a freelance motorbicycle journalist?- Yes. - Tell us about that.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I write for magazines all around the world.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Borrowing free, glorious machines wherever you can!- Ideally, yes!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Meeting nice people like Victoria who provide you with the machines!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- It's a bonus!- Sounds like a jolly good job to me!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- And I get to dress in leather.- Yes.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- What's your favourite machine to drive? The old ones? - No, I prefer modern sports.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- They go faster, it's more fun. - Tell me about your tactics today.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- I don't think we've got any have we?- We haven't thought it through, but...- Yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Best to approach it with a blank canvas.- Exactly.- Is that the plan? - Yes.- Lovely.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59We'll see how the sketching comes out. Anyway, good luck!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Now for the blues. Hello, you two. - Hello.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Hi.- Hello. David,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- you used to restore pianos?- Oh, yes.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08How many did you have at that point?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- On the go at one time, six.- Did you?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Four in the house, two in the workshop.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Lovely!- Nearly got divorced!
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- That's tremendous. And you play, do you?- Very much so, yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Emma, you're also incredibly musical? You teach music.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I used to. Yes, I taught music for nine years. The flute.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- And I play the piano as well. - But you've changed direction?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Yes, just a bit!
0:03:31 > 0:03:36I'm a foster carer with my husband.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And a holistic therapist as well.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Tell us about the fostering. - We've got two boys of our own
0:03:41 > 0:03:45and we've fostered various children for eight years.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48We've had 12 children over that time.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- It's a lovely thing to be able to do.- It is. It's great, really rewarding.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55What's this holistic business? Tell us about that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I have people come round for crystal healing. I've brought you a crystal.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Have you?- Yes.- Is that my very own crystal?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Yes.- You are kind. - Hold it to the light.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- It reflects. It's beautiful. It's labradorite.- Yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And it's the destiny stone.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It takes away any negative energies.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Do you think I've got negative energies?
0:04:14 > 0:04:19Not at all, Tim! But it will take away any negative energies. It's a lovely stone.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Do I have it about my person or do I just touch it? How does it work?
0:04:23 > 0:04:27You can hold it in your hand, put it by your bed, put it under your pillow.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- Whatever feels comfortable for you. Or just have it in your pocket to play with!- What a nice thing!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Thank you very much.- You're welcome. - I'm touched!
0:04:35 > 0:04:40- What's your tactics?- It's going to be beautiful, it's going to be quality,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- but basically cheap!- Oh, really?
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Those are your three principles. - I'm nothing if not cheap!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49OK, David, I believe you! Good-o!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You must be quaking in your boots, the bikers!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Anyway, here we go. £300. You know the rules.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And very, very, very, very good luck,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now, how's me chakra doing?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Now, let me enlighten you about our experts today.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11On the fiddle, for the reds, is Thomas Plant.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15While Charlie Ross will attempt to balance the blues!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Look out!
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Are you going to tune me up? - I'll try!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- And you're going to heal me? - Absolutely!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I hear you're bikers.- Yes. - How are we going to play today?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32We're going full throttle, on the slot, from the word go.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33- Flat out.- Flat out?
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- I'm into healing.- Into healing. But are you into Bargain Hunt dealing?
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Let's go find out!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Hold on tight. Let's go!
0:05:43 > 0:05:48So, the reds are planning the live fast, die young approach,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52whilst the blues tend to harness their energy for... What's this?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Anyone for croquet?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- It's the right time of year for a game of croquet. - And we're in the right place.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- It's not very old. It's really pretty modern.- Yes.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- But it is a portable one.- Yes.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And they're quite saleable objects.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11It's got the hoops. The best makers of these were Jaques.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14If you find an Edwardian or Victorian one,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16they're worth hundreds of pounds.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20They come in lovely big decorated pine boxes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What do you think of it, darling?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24A game of croquet, this time of year? Let's do it!
0:06:24 > 0:06:27There's a hint of sarcasm in your voice, there!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Not keen?- I wouldn't call it an antique, but...- No, it's not an antique, no.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34But I like it. I like a game of croquet.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- We've been going about 35 seconds! - We could ask the question.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Where's the...- Come on!
0:06:40 > 0:06:41- VENDOR:- 15.- 15?!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Would you take a tenner?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Yeah, he would.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48If I throw in my daughter?
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Oh, David!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- That's free!- That's a bit harsh, isn't it?- Take a tenner, sir.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Go on, then!- Yes! Hooray!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Job done!- We'll play at lunch time!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Flirting as usual, Charles?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- If you get the next two things bought quickly, we'll have a game of croquet later.- Excellent!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Well at least then you'll notice that there are two missing balls, eh, Charles?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Reds, I thought you were the ones going hell for leather?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Why do you like that? - Tea and cake is all the rage!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Tea and cake. Are you a cake eater? - I am, indeed.- Are you?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25- Are you a baker?- Yes.- Champion baker? - I enter the village show and everything.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29- My Victoria sponge won a prize.- Did it?- I won about 25p for it, yes.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Right. A Victoria sponge and a cup of tea.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36This is what you'd like to serve tea in?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I just think it's quite kitsch.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Right. OK.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- It's only £28.- It looks vintage to me, and that's all the rage.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Vintage is all the rage.- Yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50But whether you buy it or not, I think it's something you should consider.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- OK.- Is there any money in it?- No. If you got it for 15, probably yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Let's walk on up. Is that OK?
0:07:57 > 0:08:03Oh, Victoria, surely you could hunt for something foxier than that?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I thought you bikers were the bonkers ones?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08But it's the blues who are being reckless today.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- Do you like that?- No, I nearly knocked it over!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Come on! Concentrate!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Quite right. Push on. We haven't got all day, you know!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21This is quite a sweet thing.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- It's cute.- It is sweet, isn't it? It's Deco.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's a little desk set to put on your desk.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Obviously you get the month. The 31st doesn't work for September.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Put the 30th there.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Then you just roll it forward as the days go on, really.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's a good little desk calendar
0:08:39 > 0:08:42with a pretty little Scottie dog there, in chrome.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's on... I would suggest this is walnut.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's got those geometric lines.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54The Scottie dog, I don't know why he was such an emblem of that period.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59It's just a fun thing. The price tag being £35 is a small risk.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02But if you think about that tea set you've seen,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I think this is a bit more interesting.- I think it's lovely.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I like your idea of tea and cake.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14I like the idea of tea and cake, but this has got a lot more charm involved.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- We're looking to connect with the buyers at the auction.- Yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21People might think, "That's sweet." See if we can get it for £25
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- or a bit less.- 25, 20, is that realistic?- It is a realistic buy.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- Definitely. What do you think, guys? Shall I talk to the stallholder?- Yes.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Do you want to do that?- Yep, perfect. - I'll go for it, then.- Thank you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Not quite rock'n'roll, but a saleable item at the right price.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- I've got a bit of a result.- OK.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- £25.- Perfect.- Fantastic.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Happy with that?- Yeah, it's good. - It's charm personified. Shall we go for it?- Yes.- Let's go!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Well done. Ten minutes in and you're off the mark.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Nice to see you're not blotting out the experts, though!
0:09:57 > 0:10:00You can have anything you like, my darling. I always say that to my ladies!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Charlie, steady!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06It's French. Typically French in style. I'll look at the bottom.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08There's the bottom. Now...
0:10:08 > 0:10:14EMMA LAUGHS Ah, you may well giggle, darling, as I show you the bottom!
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- But look at all that glue. I think this has been made up.- Yes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Lots of separate bits.- I don't think it's 19th century.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I don't think it's all that it should be. I don't think you should buy it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- No. I'll go with your advice. - Marvellous!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Not many women do!
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Why does that not surprise me, Carlos?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Meanwhile, John's gone barking!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38What about a dog?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It's got wheels!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43"It's got wheels"! Honestly!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Come on, teams. Less looking and more buying.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51He's looking at the most ghastly clock. Oh, no!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That's what I thought!
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- I'm glad you're here.- Emma, shall we just nip off and leave him?- Yes!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- We've got the money! - Let's do a runner, then!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Charlie, come back. You can't steal Emma. Whatever next?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I think it would be fantastic if we could find something to reflect
0:11:11 > 0:11:14your sort of biker image.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Two-wheeled paraphernalia. - Some two-wheeled paraphernalia.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Absolutely. I think that would be really interesting.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Yes, reds. Where's your throttle?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- What's that all about? - I have no idea.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Do you think it might be a dead end? - Yes.- Dead end at the auction.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Do you want to have a try on this? - No, I don't, thank you very much.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38With the best will in the world.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's definitely time you reds got on your bike.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43We've passed the half-way mark, you know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Meanwhile, the blues are learning that even these candle sticks can have a silver lining.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50They are continental silver.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55830, they've got. That's 830 parts silver to the thousand.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I thought that was the price!
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Thought that was the price! 830 quid!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Come on. Move on. Focus!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06At least John and Victoria are back on track.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09On stalls like this, there's plenty of badges, and you never know,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13we might find something to do with two-wheeled paraphernalia.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- People wear badges to say what club they were involved in.- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Events. Isle of Man badges are popular because people go there every year.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26- The TT.- Yeah, the TT. There's a lot of motorcycle ones here.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Something like that. It's from a Grand Prix in 1988.- Really?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- That's a specific date. - Donington Park, 1988.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36That's 20-something years ago.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Interestingly, the last bike I crashed was one I borrowed from Victoria
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- and I crashed it at Donington Park. - How much trouble were you in, or was he in?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- I don't...- I was a bit involved. - Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I didn't want her getting worried so I said it was a low-speed crash.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Was hit high speed?- About 80 or 90. - Really.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58So £12 does seem rather a lot for a pin badge. It's not a great deal of money,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00but it is related to you.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03I quite like the idea of that.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06One badge, to auction,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I think might get lost.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11It's a small item on its own.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16There are plenty of badges here. Why don't we collect five or six
0:13:16 > 0:13:17as a little lot.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- That Yamaha one. The yellow and red one.- Yeah.- Is that a nice one?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Lovely colour. Put that on my hand there. Great.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I saw one here. This is HRC.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32That's Honda Racing Corporation, which would be quite liked.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35And I want to go for an older motorcycle as well.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Velocette is a British bike.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That should be quite liked. Velocette is a name that's strong.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- Lovely, isn't it?- It's nice.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47And maybe one more?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48There's one here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:54- Which do you like? A round one, or do you want...- I think the black one is sort of current.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- This one?- Yeah.- Norton is making a revival at the moment.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01They've just come back. They're built at Donington Park, where that one is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well, we have a nice little marriage there, don't we?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Yes.- Are you happy for me to try and make an offer on these?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Yes.- I think it's really good. It reflects your...- Do people like badges?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- They love badges.- Really?- Look at this.- That's true.- Full of badges.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Obviously there's a market.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Sir, can I just borrow you for a second?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I've totted these up. They come to £58.- Right.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- What's the very best on those?- 50.
0:14:28 > 0:14:2950. 45?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- 48, I'd want.- 48 for the lot? I think we've got a deal.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- Yep? Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43With reds back in pole position, the blues take the spiritual high ground.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Charlie?- Yes?- I've found something.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- You've found something?- Yes.- Let me look at it. Let me look at it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- This pin.- Isn't that pretty?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's got an amethyst in it and it's ten carat gold.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Oh, look!- Hang on. Sherlock Holmes is going to do his bit now!
0:14:58 > 0:15:04If I may so, sir, this is somewhat removed from a £10 croquet set!
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Emma, as I look at this, what am I getting from amethyst?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Amethyst is a lovely, really supportive stone.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It can get rid of any negative energies you might have.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It fills you with positive energies. Helps you sleep.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20And it was known to help with anybody that used to like a drink.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Really?- Helps sober them up.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Wonderful! So it'll make me a teetotaller and stop me buying croquet sets!- Yes!
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- You haven't told me how much it is. - 75.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- 75.- It's getting better, isn't it? - What about 55?
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- That would be even better.- It's worth more than £40 at auction.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- You can't argue with quality. It's well worth asking.- I'll give you 50 on it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45You can do 50. Could you do 40? We would pay £40 for it now.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- 45.- 45.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'll tell you what.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55I don't think we should knock the man any more. I'll stick my neck on the block. 45 is a jolly good buy.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah, I really like it.- Very kind of you. Thank you. It's a beautiful lot.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Thank you, sir. Shake me hand. - Thank you very much.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Well done.- I could happily take that home.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- You're not supposed to take it home! We're supposed to sell it. - But I want it.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Emma obviously can't get enough of all that positive energy.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15While the reds try to move into top gear.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Keep the revs going.- Let's go!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The blues stay put, keeping their eye on the ball.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Charlie.- Yes, sir. - Come here a minute.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24What are you looking at?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- What do you think of this silver rugby ball?- Balls!
0:16:28 > 0:16:32Haven't you bought enough balls? I know you're two balls short of a croquet set!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- You can't put a rugby ball in your croquet set!- But I like it.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's absolutely wonderful.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I'm not sure I've seen anything like it. What's it made of?
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Silver plate?- It says it's solid silver.- Solid silver?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Well, get it out of the box, man! Don't just stand there looking at it!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Now. Tell me what sort of silver it is, David.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Is it hallmarked English silver?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- We'd better have a look.- Here we go. Sherlock Holmes is at it again!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- It's got a lion on it.- Has it? - It's got a lion on it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Is that exciting?- English silver, Charles.- Hand it over here.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06What a wonderful thing!
0:17:06 > 0:17:11- Do you know...- He's excited! - I'm beginning to get my faith back in you!
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Frankly, I'd lost it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think it's pretty modern.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22"The...Woodford...Guru".
0:17:22 > 0:17:24He must have played for Woodford Rugby Club.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28It is a paperweight. I think that will make at auction...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33..about 70 quid.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Right.- But you never know. The gentleman, he's such a nice man,
0:17:38 > 0:17:43and we have introduced him to a substantial profit on his stick pin, I've never seen a man smile so much!
0:17:43 > 0:17:47It might be that we can buy this worth the money.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51If I beg with you and plead. As a rugby player, what can you do?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- I can do 80 on that.- You can do 80.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56- You have a go, David. - Can't you do 70?
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- I'll meet you half-way. 75.- I'm not sure we've got that. We've got to leave him some money!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03You can leave him a fiver.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Go on, do it for 70.- Go on, then.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Yeah!- What a star you are. Thank you very much.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10I need another kiss.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13I'm here, Charlie!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm not kissing you!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Dad, I'd watch old Charlie if I were you!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Well, that's the final item for the blues.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24With 20 minutes to go, there's time for a leisurely game of croquet.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Hooray!
0:18:28 > 0:18:32The reds, on the other hand, are still hoping to get jammy.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35I've just seen something which might be of interest to you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Is that a jam pot?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Are you a purveyor of fine jams?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44We do make our own.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46We've won a competition for jam making.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48John, I thought you were a biker!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50This has another little added bonus.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52That's sweet.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- As you pull down the handle...- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- ..the lid lifts up.- I like that.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- Yeah.- What do you think?- It's nice. - It's really sweet, actually.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03It's silver plate, by a firm called Hukin and Heath.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It would have been made in about the 1900s.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The glass is OK, the silver plate is OK.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- I think what would benefit... - A spoon.- ..would be a spoon.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Can I pick out a preserve spoon from here?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Yes.- It sets it off.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24So that goes in there. Your preserve, there it is.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Now. Best price?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'll do you the two of them for a tenner.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- A tenner?- A tenner?
0:19:33 > 0:19:35A bargain!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Nine.- Nine?!
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Nine pounds!- Oh, yeah, go on!
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Want to go for it? Third and final item?- Yep.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Nine pounds. That's a deal.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Brilliant. Your third and final item. - We've left you with a lot of money.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- That's fine by me. - You'll have real fun!
0:19:50 > 0:19:52All the time in the world.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Yes.- That's really nice.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00- It's a good find. You are a preserve maker. Let's have a cup of tea. I'm exhausted.- Yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04You never know, they may whip you up one of their winning cakes
0:20:04 > 0:20:06with home-made jam.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's for you, isn't it?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Right. Let's stop this monkeying about, shall we?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Time's up. Let's check out what the red team bought, eh?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Victoria and John rolled back the years
0:20:19 > 0:20:22with this 1920s Art Deco desk calendar,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23paying just £25.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Then they tuned in to what they know,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31with this collection of motorcycle badges,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33£48 paid.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40Finally, they decided to put this Edwardian silver-plated jug and spoon in the mix.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42They paid a meagre nine pounds.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46It is miserable!
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I've got a horrible feeling we've got an awful lot of leftover lolly!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Is that right? - Yes, it's a bit dismal!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- How much did you spend?- 82.- £82. - Miserable!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Dear, oh, dear!- It's pathetic, £82. - Well,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I wouldn't say pathetic. That's not a word I'd use.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I'd just use "horrifying"!
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Seriously, £82. That's your picks.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11- Good. So who has got the £218? - There you go.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15OK. 218. That's a whole load. Straight over to Thomas Plant.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Grab that lot.- Thank you very much. A lot of money there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22What plan have you got? Have you got a plan, or will you scratch around?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I'm going to scratch around for something very shiny.- Are you?- Mm.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That sounds like a bit of a hint.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Very nice, too. Meanwhile, let's check out what the blues bought, eh?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35David made a bee-line for this croquet set
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and got it for half price, paying £10.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45They were drawn to the positive vibes of this ten-carat gold stick pin
0:21:45 > 0:21:48with an amethyst stone. £45 paid.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The blues' final item was this silver paperweight
0:21:52 > 0:21:54in the shape of a rugby ball.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Tackling low, the price fell to £70.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- The old man's done well.- He has. - Came through at the end!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Age is experience, you know!
0:22:04 > 0:22:07That's what they say! Dave, what did you spend?
0:22:07 > 0:22:13- A whole £125.- Is that all?- Is that all?!- We give you 300, you know!
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- Em, which is your favourite piece? - The amethyst pin. The stick pin.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- That's your favourite. Do you agree, Dave?- No.- No.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25We found this superb croquet set.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Absolutely superb.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Only surpassed at the end by my choice of a beautiful rugby ball.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- It's not all, "me, me, me" with you, is it?- Could be!
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- Did you get that?- I got that. I got that in only two paragraphs!
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Guess who's got the money!
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Now, I'd like £175, please, Davido.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Which is a nice little wodge. And that goes straight to Carlos.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- What are you going to do with it? - Quality, quality, quality,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56to make up with something we bought earlier!
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Very good luck with that.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere drop dead gorgeous!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14The Cathedral Close has been at the heart of Exeter
0:23:14 > 0:23:18ever since the time of the Romans,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21when they built their basilica and bath house here
0:23:21 > 0:23:24in the first and second centuries.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27What do you do, though, when a city evolves
0:23:27 > 0:23:31and you want to preserve its history for others to enjoy?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35It's simple. You build a museum!
0:23:37 > 0:23:40The new building was to be a memorial to Prince Albert,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42who died in 1861.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48He had embraced the idea of access to knowledge and education for all.
0:23:48 > 0:23:54And this promised to house not only a museum and art gallery
0:23:54 > 0:23:57but also a free public library and art college.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00The Albert Memorial Museum took two years to build
0:24:00 > 0:24:03and was finished in 1868.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06But in 1887,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08to celebrate the Queen's jubilee,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12it was decided to build on a completely new wing
0:24:12 > 0:24:18which was opened in 1899 by the Duke and Duchess of York.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22And it was at that moment that it was decided
0:24:22 > 0:24:28that the institution should be allowed to add the word "Royal" to its title.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46One of the crafts which are particularly treasured here in Devonshire
0:24:46 > 0:24:48is the craft of lace-making.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53There's a representative collection of lace here in the museum
0:24:53 > 0:24:57as a result of Charlotte Elizabeth Treadwin's bequest.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02She was a lace maker and sold lace in the Cathedral Close.
0:25:02 > 0:25:09Here's an example of a book she wrote on the subject of lace-making.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Inside, we've got a little sprig of lace
0:25:12 > 0:25:14made by Treadwin.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Sprigs like this would have been applied to wedding veils and dresses
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and the weaving process is so complicated
0:25:21 > 0:25:26because each of these lines are entwined and laid over one another
0:25:26 > 0:25:32in a pre-determined way to create the exquisite gossamer effect
0:25:32 > 0:25:35of the finished lace which you can see there.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41You've got the top end of 50 or 60 filaments all attached to a bobbin.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43The bobbins themselves are interesting.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48This one, for example, is early, and dated 1776.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54It's been turned on a lathe and then inscribed and engraved with designs.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57This one is dated 1851.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Very often, bobbins were also inscribed with other devices
0:26:02 > 0:26:05that were relevant to the lace maker and sometimes personal.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08In the production of complicated lace,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11the time taken up is incredible.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14For example, in this lace flounce,
0:26:14 > 0:26:20each square centimetre could take up to five hours to create
0:26:20 > 0:26:22by an experienced lace maker.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26In a town, two or three hundred people
0:26:26 > 0:26:29could be involved in the lace making process.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34They would each make their lace according to the pre-arranged pattern
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and then those sections of lace would be joined together
0:26:37 > 0:26:42to make up a whole piece. Fascinating, isn't it?
0:26:42 > 0:26:47The big question today is, are our teams all about to get stitched up?
0:26:57 > 0:27:02I feel as if I've come to the Orient, but actually I've come to Stansted Mountfitchet, Sworders,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05to be with John Black, auctioneer.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09First up for the reds is the Art Deco little calendar set
0:27:09 > 0:27:15- with the Scottie dog.- Really good lot. Good saleable item. 20 to £30 we put on.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21£25 they paid. I suppose it came in a bigger set, with an ink well and blotter and all that business.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- It probably would have done. - Originally.- Uh-huh.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Next, the motorcycling badges,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30which are appropriate for Victoria and John because they're obsessed with two wheels.
0:27:30 > 0:27:38OK. Hence the BSA and Norton items. Ten to £20 is all we put on, I'm afraid.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Is that a bit of a tease?- I don't think so.- It's an accurate estimate.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Probably fairly accurate.- Oh, dear. Cos they paid £48.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- Next is the jam pot. - Yes, 20 to £30 again.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53It's quite a nice jam pot.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58In fact it has the patent opening device there.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01Clever, isn't it? You could put marmalade in it, I suppose?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- You could.- Or honey.- That's right.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- Anything.- But you have the jam spoon, which is matched as well. - Is it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:13- Matched means it wasn't made for it. - That's right.- That's the important thing.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Cos our team only paid £9.- OK.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Which is wonderful.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20We may get a spectacular profit on that
0:28:20 > 0:28:24because goodness knows, they need it if the motorcycling badges do badly.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28On the other hand, they could always go with the bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34John, Victoria, you naughties. You only spent £82!
0:28:34 > 0:28:37£212 went to Thomas Plant.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Thomas, what did you blow it on?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Ooh!
0:28:42 > 0:28:46A very attractive 14-carat gold brooch.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49These are definitely rubies,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52probably from Sri Lanka or somewhere like that,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and the brooch is continental, definitely.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56How much did you pay for it?
0:28:56 > 0:29:02You wanted something glitzy. Really glitzy, shiny, gorgeous, jewel-like.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- And it is all of those things. - You're building us up!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- These things cost money!- Yes.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It was marked up at 330.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16I said to the man, "I've got 218. Would you take it?" He said no.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I said, "Go on!" He said yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- So 218.- The whole lot?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Everything went!- Fantastic.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Is there money in it?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25No.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27This is Tom's favourite technique.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30First he builds you right up there.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31He gets you to that precipice
0:29:31 > 0:29:34where you really, really want it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Then he tells you you can't have it.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39If you want to take some of that passion which is pouring out of Thomas Plant,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42you can have a jugful and have a go.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47For the audience at home, let's check out how passionate our auctioneer is today!
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Right, John. A bit of bling for you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57Look at that! We've only estimated this at 80 to £120.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Oh!
0:29:58 > 0:30:03- Why's that?- Thomas Plant paid £218 for it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06The problem with this is, it's a brooch, right?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09And pins, as they call them in America, or brooches,
0:30:09 > 0:30:15are about the least most sought-after pieces of ladies' jewellery.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So there could be a problem here.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- We'll see what we can do.- That's it for the reds. Now for the blues,
0:30:22 > 0:30:25who kick on with an incomplete croquet set!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Rather disappointing. Yes, only two balls.
0:30:28 > 0:30:3315 to £20 for this very modern croquet set.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- And two of our balls are missing. - Mm-hm.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Never a good thing, that!
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- 15 to £20.- I think that's incredibly generous of you!
0:30:42 > 0:30:43I wouldn't give it a five pound note.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Anyway, they paid £10.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48And good luck if you get more than £10.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Next is the little stick pin.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54How do you rate that? Desirable? Collectable?
0:30:54 > 0:30:59I think at 15 to £25 it should do.
0:30:59 > 0:31:0115 to 25?
0:31:01 > 0:31:06£45 they paid. Why don't we try and kick the last lot into touch, shall we?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- Let's do that.- How do you rate it?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10I think it's a good lot.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12It's rather modern. 1983.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15But only 20 to £30 estimated.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19That's a bit mean, isn't it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20It's fairly modern, Tim.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24£70 paid. We're predicting some pretty spectacular losses here.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27So let's check out the bonus buy.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32Charles Ross had a fortune. £175. Charles, what did you spend it on?
0:31:32 > 0:31:37I spent it on a large...pin...
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- ..cushion!- Beautiful!- Ooh!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- I like that!- You like it!
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- It's hallmarked.- It's silver.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49It's Chester made. It's not quite Victorian.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I'd like to think it was Victorian, but I'm afraid it misses by a couple of years.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56You see so many miserable pin cushions that you can only get a couple of pins in.
0:31:56 > 0:32:02This is a chunky pin cushion and I think a collector might well buy it.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- How much did it set us back? - What did it set you back?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07MUFFLED REPLY
0:32:07 > 0:32:10ALL: How much?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- £75.- £75.- Yeah.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Feel it. Feel it. Love it.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- The lid is hinged is it? - It is indeed.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19So you keep your little jewels in there.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Yeah.- I actually love the fact that it's really used.- Do you?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28I like that because I can imagine someone sticking their...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Passionate girl for antiques.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Never mind the fancy stuff. What's it going to fetch, Charlie?
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Are we going to make a profit on it? - I'd say that's a real 50/50.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Who's in the sale room today, in the market for a dirty great pin cushion?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44He's taking it to bits now!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charlie's pin cushion.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- OK, John. There's something for you to stick it in.- Thank you, Tim!
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- We've estimated this at 20 to £30. - Is that all?
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- It is.- Chester silver, you know. Not making it any more up there.
0:33:00 > 0:33:05It might do a little bit better. We've put it in fairly cheaply.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I think we'll have to cross our legs.- Absolutely.- Absolutely.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I don't think you've got anything to worry about.- No. Hopefully.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22The big test, though, comes with the bonus buy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26Big brave Tom's bonus buy.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27# Big brave Tom! #
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Blowing the lot is brave.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Very.- We shall see when we get to it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36First up is old Scottie dog. Here it comes.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I can start the bidding here straight in at £20.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- £20 is bid.- Wow!
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Any advance on £20? 22.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4625. 28.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48At £28. Commission's out.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53£28 in the room. 30. £30.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58- I'll fall over!- £30. Gentleman's bid seated. At £30.
0:33:58 > 0:34:0032 if you wish, sir.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05- Go on!- 32.- Good auctioneer. Good auctioneer.
0:34:05 > 0:34:0738?
0:34:09 > 0:34:1138 to bid, sir, if you wish.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Yes? No? 35. It's your bid now, sir.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16£35 and I'll sell.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That's a profit. Very good. Plus £10.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You're on your way, kids.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Now, your badges.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27The six enamel motorcycle badges.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28183. There we are.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30Who'd like to start the bidding?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32£30? 20?
0:34:32 > 0:34:3520 is bid. Any advance? I'll take two sir, again.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36No?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38At £20.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Any further interest for these six enamel badges?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Come on!- £20.
0:34:43 > 0:34:4522. 25.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- Go on!- 28. This gentleman did. At £28.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52All done? It's your last chance, madam.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54£30?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- £28. There we are. - She's going to miss out.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00£28. I'm selling to you, sir.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06£28 is minus 20. You had ten profit, now you're minus £10.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- That's OK.- Hukin and Heath could save your bacon. Here we go.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15Hukin and Heath patent silver-plated self-opening preserve jar and cover.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18There we are. With a matched spoon. Always useful.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24184. Stops your fingers getting sticky. Who'd like to start at £30?
0:35:24 > 0:35:2520, then?
0:35:25 > 0:35:29£10 is bid. 12, sir? 12.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3114. 16.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3318. 20.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3522. 25. 28.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Lady's bid at £28. 30.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- 32 now? No?- Don't you love it? - 32, thank you, sir.- 32.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- New bidder.- 35? No?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50£32. It's in front of the counter now.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54At £32. All done. Sell at £32.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00So that has just made you £23 profit, which is brilliant.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03£10 loss before, which means overall you're plus 13.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- We've made money!- Congratulations. You've made money!
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- What are you going to do now? - Thomas, not a word, thank you! I'll say nothing!
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- I think stick.- You don't want to spoil it by going with the bonus buy.- No.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15But we're going to see what it makes anyway.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18We'll start the bidding here at £50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Any advance? 55. 60. Five. 70.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Five. At £75. The gentleman's bid at £75.
0:36:25 > 0:36:2980 anywhere else now?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- At £75. I'm going to sell. - Very cheap.- To the room.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34At £75.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Ooh!
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I bet you're glad that you stuck
0:36:40 > 0:36:43with your profit of £13.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- Which you ring-fenced as is yours to take away.- Really pleased.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And, for all we know, could be a winning score today.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Congratulations. Well done.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04What does your crystal tell you about what's going to happen today?
0:37:04 > 0:37:08I'm feeling lucky. I've given Charlie a crystal as well.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12So he's got a lucky crystal there to hold on to.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- That's a tiger's eye, isn't it? - He is a bit of a tiger!
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Rarrghh!
0:37:16 > 0:37:21Great. I've been rubbing mine and I'm feeling a lot better for it!
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Here we go. First up is the croquet set. Here it is.
0:37:26 > 0:37:32Lot 284. Who would like to start the bidding here at £20?
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You could play in your front room. At 20.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- 20 is bid, thank you.- 20 is bid!
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Any advance?- Crikey Moses!
0:37:40 > 0:37:41You are such a jammy what's-it!
0:37:41 > 0:37:4422 is bid. 24.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4626. At £26.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Are we all done now?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51At £26.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53I'm going to sell, make no mistake.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5526.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59- Yes!- David, you're a genius.- Can we go home now?- No, you can't!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01That is plus 16.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03You clever old fruit.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05I wish we had some more of them!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Are you going to be as clever with your stick pin?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Marked 10K, in the case there.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Who'd like to start the bidding here at £20?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Come on. Come on!- 15 to bid, if you wish, sir.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19No? Ten, if you want.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- Ten is bid here, on commission, though. At £10.- It's gold!
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- Any advance on £10?- Get excited.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- 12. 15.- Get excited.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30At £15. Still on commission now.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33At £15 for the American stick pin.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Would you like to bid, madam? 18? No?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- £15.- He's picking people out of the audience!- He is trying.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41- 15.- Oh, no!
0:38:41 > 0:38:44That's minus 30. That's not good, is it?
0:38:44 > 0:38:47Which means you're minus 14 overall, sweets.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50OK? Now, here comes the rugby ball.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53There we are. Local to here, aren't we?
0:38:53 > 0:38:57So, lot 206. We can start the bidding straight in at £20.
0:38:57 > 0:39:0020 I'm bid. 22. 25.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- Come on!- 28 I'm looking for now.
0:39:04 > 0:39:0728. 30. On commission now.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Against you in the room. At £30.
0:39:09 > 0:39:1232 in the room now. 35.
0:39:12 > 0:39:1438.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15It's coming on.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Are you sure? At £38 it's your last chance
0:39:19 > 0:39:21for this rugby ball paperweight. £40, surely?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Yes.- Go on!
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- I'm not going to stop.- It's not just any paperweight.- £40. Would you like to bid?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30No? Goes to the gentleman here in the room now.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- At £38.- 38.- Front of the counter.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36That's two off 40, which is minus 32.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Minus 32, minus 42, minus 46.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44I think we're doing great, Tim. How do you think we're doing?
0:39:44 > 0:39:47Minus 46 is a disappointing response, I have to say!
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- I'm sorry.- Awful.- Gutted.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- What about the pin cushion? Are you going to go with it?- I want to.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- There is no way.- Not going to do it?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I love it. Look how far down we are.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- Minus 46.- She feels good vibes about it.- Do you?- The energy felt really good.- Do you?- Yes.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- I'm going to do what all good dads do.- What's that?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Let her have her own way.- Yes.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12- That is so sensible. We're going with the bonus buy.- It's on your head!- Don't you dare!
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Lot 210. We can start the bidding here, a low start at £20.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19Any advance on 20? And advance? 22.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Is this it?- This is it.- 28. 30.
0:40:22 > 0:40:2432.
0:40:24 > 0:40:2832 the lady's bid. At £32 seated.
0:40:28 > 0:40:3035.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- I can't bear this!- 38.- I'm not getting a good feeling.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36- 40.- This is torture! - £40 the gentleman has bid.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38In the doorway there at £40.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Are you sure, madam? 42? No?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42£40 there.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44You promised we'd make a profit!
0:40:44 > 0:40:46£40.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48£40 is minus £35.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53- Added to the £46.- Nothing to do with me!- Minus 81.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58The one thing we told him off for buying made a profit!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Stick with me, guys. I'll put you right!
0:41:00 > 0:41:02It could be a winning score.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Don't say a word to the reds. All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08It's not going to buy dinner tonight, is it!
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Been chatting?- No.- No.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Not about the score, anyway.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Just as well, really. Cos how can two teams,
0:41:23 > 0:41:31who have got similarly intelligent and well-qualified experts who shop in the same place,
0:41:31 > 0:41:36go to the same auction room, yet have such a different result?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I cannot explain this.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39It's weird!
0:41:39 > 0:41:45Because the team which are running up have a thumping loss. They are, of course, the blues.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Don't know how you've done it! - I'm shocked!
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Your sole ray of sunshine was the croquet set!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Yes.- With only two balls!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Then it all went downhill very rapidly!
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Sad?- No, not at all.- Not sad?- No. - Definitely not.- Absolutely.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07All I can say, darling, is keep rubbing the crystals.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Everything will be all right!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Great team. Thank you very much.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14But the victors today who walk home with cash
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- are John and Victoria. There you go, darling.- Thank you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- You get £13.- Ooh!- Fantastic.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Lucky for some, hey?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25You were just unlucky a tad with one or two, weren't you?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Particularly the motorcycle badges.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- Yep.- Which is inexplicable. And you didn't go with the bonus buy.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35Had you gone with the bonus buy, you would have added £143 of loss
0:42:35 > 0:42:37to your score!
0:42:39 > 0:42:42So, we don't talk about that, do we, Tom?
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- No, we don't!- No, we never discuss anything like that!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Anyway, congrats.- Thank you.- Had a good time?- Absolutely brilliant.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Brilliant. Thank you.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Thank you, John. It's been super.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Yes!
