0:00:03 > 0:00:06Hello from Lewes in East Sussex,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08once the site of a famous battle.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12But is it going to be war between our teams today?
0:00:12 > 0:00:17Well, there's only one way to find out. Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40# Stand and deliver!
0:00:42 > 0:00:45# I'm the dandy highwayman and you're too scared to mention
0:00:45 > 0:00:48# I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention... #
0:00:48 > 0:00:53The Battle of Lewes took place in 1264 when 'enery III took on
0:00:53 > 0:00:56a local marauding baron and lost.
0:00:56 > 0:01:01Today our teams are going to do battle among the shelves and cubbyholes
0:01:01 > 0:01:05in their search for bargains. Let's hope they don't cross swords!
0:01:05 > 0:01:10# Stand and deliver Your money or your life... #
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Coming up: our Red team start low.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- 240? She said a good price would be 100.- She would!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And the Blues start high.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I hope there's a St Bernard waiting at the top!
0:01:25 > 0:01:30But when they meet in the middle, our teams discover this town ain't big enough for the both of them.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- You can't come in! - Fighting talk, fighting talk.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39But that's all still to come. First, let me remind you of the rules.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items which they hope later to sell on at auction
0:01:45 > 0:01:49to make a profit. But first let's go and meet the teams.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54So today we've got a family show.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00We have Rob and Becca for the Reds. And we've got Mel and Al for the Blues.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05Hi, everybody. Happy? Good! Now, Robert, tell us what you do.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10I seem to have accidentally retired. I used to be a teacher and then I decided to leave.
0:02:10 > 0:02:17I took on a short-term project and when that finished, they said, "By the way, you're redundant."
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- And that seemed to trigger my pension.- Early retirement, then.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- I'm not ready for the Labrador and the slippers.- And the pipe.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31- I'm looking for the right rainbow to follow now.- Fancy TV presenting?
0:02:31 > 0:02:37- Know anything about antiques? - A little, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.- You should know!
0:02:37 > 0:02:44- Now you do know about antiques because you collect a bit. What do you like?- We've a little Moorcroft
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- which I know you love. Not. - Oh, not?
0:02:47 > 0:02:54- You haven't got the inheritance booked?- I said don't give it to me! - "Sell it, Dad! Get the money!"
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- And also we have a little bit of Tunbridge ware.- And it is beautiful.
0:02:58 > 0:03:05- Lovely.- Do you like this Tunbridge ware, too?- I like that. It's nice. - More than the Moorcroft?- Much more.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11- So, Becs, what do you do, darling? - I am currently an advisor for a private healthcare company.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- It's my first ever proper job. - What have you done up to now?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19I've been a dancer all of my life, which has been amazing. Really fun.
0:03:19 > 0:03:26- And where did you dance? - I did a lot of cruise ships, worked in casinos abroad, Disneyland.
0:03:26 > 0:03:33- And my little claim to fame is I was the first ever girl to be a sky runner for Disney.- What's that?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- It is the stilts that you can jump and run on.- Oh, yes.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41They were in the parade, but the costume was 13kgs.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- When I got there, they said girls can't do it, it's too difficult. I saw that as a challenge!- Quite.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52- I did the fitness test, the training and was the first girl to do it. - Were you?- More do it now.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56It's an amazing thing to see. The territory you can cover on those things.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- You can get up to 30mph, running. - It's just such fun.- Brilliant!
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- So what's your tactics going to be today?- I think we're going to spend. - Yes! Spend a lot, take some risks.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Are you?- Only here once.- Splash the cash.- I like the sound of this.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16- So are you quaking in your boots, Blues?- No, not at all.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- No?- We're confident.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23- Mel, it says here you're hellish sporty. Is that right? - I like to think I am.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29- Tell us about your sports. - I play squash and I also teach trampolining and gymnastics
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- for pre-school children. - Right. Do they ever bounce out?
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- I've had one bounce off! Fortunately, I have good catching skills as well!- Quite.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45- What do you know about antiques? - I don't know a huge amount although I was brought up around antiques.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49My grandmother used to own an antique shop in Surrey.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- Did you go and help?- I have such lovely memories of when I was little, popping in.
0:04:54 > 0:05:01- Have a cup of tea.- And dress the window.- Oh, really?- She used to pay me in knickerbocker glories.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Right.- "Do this and you can have one." Lovely memories there.
0:05:05 > 0:05:11Do you think you picked up much knowledge? Can you tell your Staffordshire from Berlin porcelain?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Absolutely not.- Oh, that's handy(!)
0:05:13 > 0:05:20- It was all knickerbocker glories for you!- All the way!- Never mind the soft paste and the hard paste.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- OK, Alex.- Hello.- You're incredibly sporting.- I take it from my mum.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- I play rugby quite often.- You don't! - I do, yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- What position? - I play 8 or 7, so right in the action at the back of the scrum.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- Does it get really rough? I bet...- It does, yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43A few handbags get thrown. Lots of injuries I've had, but...
0:05:43 > 0:05:49- it's so much fun, I don't really mind.- Do you think your extreme level of fitness is going to help
0:05:49 > 0:05:56- against the opposition? - The odd backflip down the road. You never know.- Is Lewes ready?!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Now £300 apiece.- Thank you.- You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05And off you go! And very, very, very good luck. What delightful teams.
0:06:05 > 0:06:12Our experts today are Catherine Southon, whose mission is to crown our Red team champions,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16and Mark Stacey, searching out some knockout buys for the Blues.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19# The sun is shining... #
0:06:19 > 0:06:26- This is the start of our journey. Have we got a plan of action? - Spend lots of money!
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- What are you looking for? - Mum likes something a bit weird.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Weird? Tasteful, not weird.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Well, I like tasteful and weird. - Yes!
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- £300 and some lovely shops? What can go wrong?- What CAN go wrong?
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Are we going to win?- Yes! - Absolutely!- That's it! Come on!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Let's go bargain hunting!
0:06:46 > 0:06:51# As the morning gathers a rainbow
0:06:51 > 0:06:57- # I'm a rainbow with you... # - I like that for a start. - It's £125.- We'll have two of them.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- We'll have it for 20. - Shall we go in?- Yes.- Yes.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- The clock is now ticking.- Is it? - I'm excited!- Thank you.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10OK...
0:07:10 > 0:07:16- Where do you start?- Good question, Roberto. It can be so daunting, surrounded by all this stuff.
0:07:16 > 0:07:23But remember, Red, don't just go for things you like. You have to be canny to clean up in this game.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- What have you spotted? - It's like vases you have at home.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- It's the same horrible pottery. - I don't think she likes your Moorcroft!- No.- I can tell.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- It's Minton Viennese secessionist ware. It is lovely. - What kind of age has that got?
0:07:37 > 0:07:43- Early 20th century.- It is attractive, but it's about that making a profit at the auction.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- We can ask how much it is. - Worth asking.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- Top right?- Yeah. I know we'll not be able to afford it. Thank you.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56- Ah, 295. - 240 is the best on that.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- She said a good price is 100. - She would!
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Shall we have a little look at it first to check the condition?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Is that a tiny, tiny chip to the rim? There.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- Oh, yeah.- A tiny, tiny chip. - That could make a big difference.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17- My feeling would be probably not to go for it because of that tiny little chip.- Right.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- That's my advice.- OK, it's early days.- You're right, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26Nah, it's not worth the crack, but have the Blues seen anything yet?
0:08:26 > 0:08:32- Right upstairs.- They're certainly setting their sights high. - My feet are killing me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I hope there's a St Bernard waiting at the top!
0:08:36 > 0:08:43No brandy up here, I'm afraid, Blues. It's down to you to keep Mark's spirits up.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I can't see much in here, can you?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Nothing catches your eye. - Shall we head back down?- Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Well, at least they're not wasting any time.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Ooh, Alex, look!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Oh, no!- I'm loving that! - Oh, dear...!
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- Do you like that, Mark? - No, put it down.- That'd be a no? - That would be a no. Quite right.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14- That wasn't worth the effort going up, was it? - But good for the old carbs, Mark.
0:09:16 > 0:09:21Better keep moving cos it looks like the Reds have found something dishy.
0:09:21 > 0:09:27- They opened the cabinet for us, Catherine.- A little pin tray?- Yeah. I think it has a stamp inside.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- The Keswick stamp. Keswick School of Art. And they're asking 55. - It's very simple.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- It's sort of Arts and Crafts.- It is.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And it is a simple design, but that's its sort of charm.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43We might be able to get it for 40 or something.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- How much do you think it would make at auction?- I don't think it would make a huge amount more than that.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- Steve, what's your best price on that?- Which one? 45, really.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Couldn't do 40?- I'll ask him, but I think he'll say no.- OK.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- There is another piece. - Oh, there's another piece. - Same school.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06That one's probably got more use, hasn't it? That one's got 75.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12- Shall I ask the best price so at least we know? That's 40, 45. - OK, I'll put this one back.
0:10:12 > 0:10:19- Catherine can't move fast enough for Becs. She's already weighing up the other options.- I love it!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21And it's got our initials on it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- What have you found?- It says BD! - You're excited by the initials?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Where are your initials?- Just on the label. That's why I looked at it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36No! BD as in that's the name of the cabinet!
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- That's the initials of the guy... - Is that everything in this cabinet?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43But never mind, eh?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46This has even got BD!
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Look.- Oh, well, we should definitely buy it.- Written in the stars.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I've just had a word about this.
0:10:53 > 0:11:00- They will do 50 on this. - That's not bad.- I actually think that might be worth a go at 50.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Of the two, that probably is the better bet.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06That's not a bad price, is it?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Shall we get that as our first buy? - Let's do it.- Shall we?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Yeah!- Yay!- And it's BD!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14They all say BD.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20BD or not BD? That was the question and they've answered it with their first buy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:27- Come on, Blues. Keep up. What's BD? - I think we'll go down here to Cliff Antiques.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- That's a good idea, yes. - We walked past that one.- Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- Shall we have a little look in the window?- Oh, look! - Now this reminds me of the time
0:11:36 > 0:11:42- I had to clean my grandmother's brass. She used to pay me a pittance.- Nana still does pay me!
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- But I like this. - Well, it's a club fender.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I like these sort of things, but it is quite a lot.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- Shall we go in?- Yeah. - We'll come back.- Absolutely.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Oh, gosh.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Mark, what's this over here? I like that.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- What's that?- The brass.- It's an inkwell, yes. Quite decorative,
0:12:11 > 0:12:18but it's 28 quid, which is not bad if you're buying it for yourself, but it won't make a lot at auction.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22That shoe horn is quite fun in the form of a woman's leg.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27With the garter as well and a little flapper dress. Nice feel to it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:34- What I like is the brass is a nice colour.- Yeah.- So it's obviously got a bit of age to it. It's been used.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- It's got that patina on it. - I like that. It's quite chic.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44It's priced at £14 only. It's almost a shame to try to get some off, but we reckon we could.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Shall I ask?- Go for it. - Shall I?- Go on.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- What can we have this for? - The best is 10.- That's fantastic.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55For £10, I'd expect a pair!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Top brass!
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Mel and Alex have got a leg up on their first buy.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07# Now I gotta cut loose footloose... #
0:13:07 > 0:13:11But they're not the only ones to like a bit of leg.
0:13:11 > 0:13:17'I've been scouring the shops, too, and found something that might shoehorn a profit at auction.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- Hello!- Hello! - What do you think? You take that. Don't you think they're just fab?
0:13:22 > 0:13:30- Wonderful, Tim!- What are they?! - They're made of slithers of sycamore. That's this ripple.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36- What are they used for? - Sort of stretching wet stockings after you've washed them.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Or displaying them in a shop.- Yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43And the dealer who sold these to me buys a lot in France
0:13:43 > 0:13:50and she bought 420 pairs of these things when a warehouse shut down.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55She took them to Ardingly Fair and she sold 410 pairs
0:13:55 > 0:13:59to one man who bought the whole lot for £7.50 each.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- No way!- How about that? - So he's definitely a leg man!
0:14:05 > 0:14:11While the Blues shake a leg, the Reds are trying to keep ahead with this unusual find.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Isn't that nice? It's a little pen tray, the hare and the tortoise.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- They're sweet, aren't they? - Guess what's on that. £110.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- It's ridiculous, isn't it? - It's nice, but not that nice!
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- If we can squeeze it down to 70... - At 70, yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- If we can do it for 70. - And then focus on one last item. - Yeah?- That sounds like a plan.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Let's go. Steve, we do really like your little pen tray.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- Yes.- In fact, we like it quite a lot.- We do, we do.
0:14:42 > 0:14:50- Is there any chance that you can just push it down to 70?- If I put it to her at 70, she may do.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Yeah, OK. - ..Does 70 quid buy this pen tray?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- OK, lovey. All right, cheers. - So what's she saying?- Yeah, 70 quid.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Well done!- Well done, Steve. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Well, the Reds are haring along, but the Blues are going so slowly
0:15:07 > 0:15:12they've gone backwards - back to the club fender they fancied earlier.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18- Do you want to have another look? - I'd like to.- Yes, come on. Let's go and have another look.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24It falls into what I would class as a sort of typical country house interior.
0:15:24 > 0:15:31- That's exactly it.- A big fireplace, that sitting there, toasting your crumpets, having a glass of wine.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- Friends round at Christmastime having a mince pie.- Sounds lovely.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- And some restaurants and some clubs like this sort of thing now.- Yeah.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45I think at this price it's obviously not Victorian. If it was Victorian or earlier,
0:15:45 > 0:15:51- we'd be looking at £500 or £600. - So definitely not that. - Do you want to take a gamble?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- I think we need to on something. - We keep coming back to this.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- In your mind.- In my mind. - What about you, love?- I like it.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- It's a bit different.- That's amazing.- We actually agree for once.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Do you want to go and have a word with the dealer? See his best price.
0:16:09 > 0:16:16Maybe ask him to hold it and if we don't find anything big we know we can fall back on this.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- That's a really good idea. - And it stops the Reds getting it. - Exactly.- Now we're talking!
0:16:21 > 0:16:27- Off you go, then.- You're going to let me loose in here? - You two go and work your magic.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Use your feminine wiles.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36'They're a lovely pair, aren't they? I'm getting on very nicely. They're charming.'
0:16:36 > 0:16:40They're so excited about the whole thing, they're a bit scattered.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46They're not quite sure whether they want to commit... I'm glad they like the fender.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52A bit chancey, but if they like it and I like it, hopefully some other people out there will like it.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59They'd better get a move on, though. The Reds are hot on their tail with only one item left to go.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Let's do it!- Forward march!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- Thank you!- Thank you very much!
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Oh!
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, hello!
0:17:08 > 0:17:14- Tell them!- You can't come in! - Come on, teams. There will be no fisticuffs here.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19- We've bought everything. - Yeah. And all for £10.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25- Ours were so easy. - I'd be afraid if I were you guys. We've got a secret weapon.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Oh, fighting talk!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Fighting talk.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Don't let them come in here.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- Don't let them out of your sight! - Calm down! There's enough to go round.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41I hope the Blues put a hold on that fender, just in case.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- How did you get on?- Ohh!
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- Don't be cross.- What's happened? - We got caught up in the negotiating.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- And?- And we kind of bought it. - The fender?- Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- How much would you be happy with? - 130?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- That's OK.- We did 135.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well done.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06- I'm pleased. You really do like it. - Yes.- It caught our eye from the beginning. Do you know what?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Even if it doesn't make a profit, I like it.- It's a big buy as well.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- We needed a gamble. - So we've got two items.- Yes. - And you've spent £145.- Yes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22- Shall we go on and continue our success?- Let's do it! - Thank you for being so patient.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26You need the patience of a saint in this job!
0:18:26 > 0:18:3110 minutes, teams, and one item each left to buy.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Time to get focused. From the look of the Reds, you'd think they were waiting for a sign.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42- You were looking at that. What are your thoughts? - It's a thing you get drawn to.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47These things were made at a time when real care and pride was put into it,
0:18:47 > 0:18:53- not like plastic things now. - If you look at the letters, I just think they're beautiful.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- Yeah.- But it says Holmes on it, so we've got to hope for a couple of people with the name Holmes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:04I like it. I don't know where someone would put it. A lot of people would say it's nice,
0:19:04 > 0:19:10- but they wouldn't buy it. - But if you got Sherlock Holmes, a couple of people mad on him
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- who might go for something... - It's a risk.- A huge risk. But it's... I don't know.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- Can we have a little word with you, sir?- Holmes, dispensing chemist.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- It's actually come from a chemist? - Yeah, Holmes, dispensing chemist,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- which was a very old Brighton shop. - Right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31We love the way it's been weathered,
0:19:31 > 0:19:35but we're not totally in love with this £95 price tag.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- The...- Did you see that look? - The trade on it would be 85,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44but it's only just come in.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47We'd do it for 75 for you.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52How about 70? Because it's our last buy of the day.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- Oh...- 75 would be it. The trade on it is 85, so we'd do it for 75.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03- We've got to find someone with the name Holmes, though. We've only got 5 minutes.- 5 minutes?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- If you can do it for 70...- I was going to say...- ..we'll shake now.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14These two lovely ladies, if they were to look at you all doe-eyed, could it get that last £5?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Could you do 72 for us?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Oh, go on, go on.- Well done!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - That's very kind of you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27OK, let's go and celebrate with a coffee.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Very good work getting him down on the price, Reds,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35but it's a mystery to me why you think that a Holmes sign would be a good bet.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Unless you're called Holmes. With only four minutes left,
0:20:39 > 0:20:46- the Blues still need to solve their final problem.- I like that little champagne bottle at the back.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- The wood one? - It looks like wood, but is it wood?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Shall we have a look?- Yes. - Can we look in the cabinet?
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Oh, thank you.- What's that? What is it?- I don't know.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Shall we open it up?- Let's. - Ah, look at this.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- What is that? - It's a pipe, isn't it? I think.- Yes!
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- So that goes in here.- I love that! - That is pretty cool, isn't it?
0:21:10 > 0:21:18- I like that a lot.- What I quite like about it is that it's also a champagne bottle.- Absolutely.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- We wanted quirky.- You don't get much quirkier than that.- Absolutely.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- The big question...- Is the price quirky? What would you want to pay?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31Oh, God. I wouldn't like to put a price on something like that. 40?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I wouldn't go that high. - It is Victorian.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Yeah, it's got a bit of age to it. So you said 40?
0:21:37 > 0:21:43- I'd go 30.- Would you?- That's what I'd want to pay.- You'd want to pay 30 and you said 40.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- Shall we look at the price? I have no idea.- OK, go on. Put us out of our misery.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- 45.- 45.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52So you're in the sort of ballpark.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Are our profits going to go up in smoke with it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57LAUGHTER
0:21:57 > 0:22:04- I think that is lovely.- If you ask Michelle nicely, she might tell you what the very, very best price is.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I think 35, in between what you were both thinking.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- Oh, I say!- That sounds a nice price. - That's not a bad price. That's the middle of what you said.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- I do like it.- You can't see what it is straight away.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- You have to look into it.- It's a bit like a Russian doll.- Exactly.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I really like that, so, 35?- Great.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- Let's shake on it.- That's lovely. Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- I'm excited about that.
0:22:27 > 0:22:33- That's our third item, isn't it? - That's fantastic.- Bring on the bargain hunt!- Oh, yes.- Whoo!
0:22:38 > 0:22:42That's it. Time's up. Shopping's over.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47The Reds, Bob and Becs, were drawn quickly to this copper taper stick.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50£50 paid.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55They kept in front of the race with this tortoise and hare pen tray.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But could it be a non-starter at £70?
0:22:58 > 0:23:03And finally, the mystery of the name drew them closer to this sign.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08Let's hope it's a sign for a profit at auction. £72 paid.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13You did seem to be enjoying yourselves, which is very nice.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17So, tell me, which is your favourite bit, Rebecca?
0:23:17 > 0:23:22- My favourite was the big thing we bought last, the sign.- Yes. - I like that.- That's your favourite.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27- Is it going to bring the biggest profit?- It's going to be make or break, I think.- Yeah.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30And what did you spend in total?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- £192.- £108. Do you have that there, Robert? Thank you very much.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Super. There you go, Catherine. There's your challenge, darling.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- Hmm.- Is it going to be wood, paper, plastic, scientific instruments, glass or silver?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48I'm not giving anything away, but it's going to be special. Only the best for my two here.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You are such a tease. Anyway, good luck, Reds.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought?
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Mel and Alex got footloose with this brass shoehorn. Only £10 paid.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03They may have got a bit too cosy though
0:24:03 > 0:24:08when they bought this club fender, spending a whopping £135.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12And finally, the novelty champagne bottle
0:24:12 > 0:24:16that converts into a pipe at a very bubbly £35.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I like that a lot.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Three really good items.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24He always says you got three good items.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Did you get anything with any legs? - Yes, one.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Oh, yes, we did. - You're very happy about that.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- Which is your favourite piece, Ma? - My favourite piece is the fantastic little pipe.
0:24:36 > 0:24:42- What about you?- I have to agree.- You agree with your mother?- For once. - For once, yes.- Very sensible.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- How much did you spend overall? - £180.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- I'd like 120, please.- There you go. - 120. Nice, blue nails. There we go.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- What are you going to spend that on, Mark?- I don't know, Tim.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56I'll try and find something as good as the items they've bought.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01- That's a vote of confidence.- They might have been bonkers, bananas, but they're great bargain hunters.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- There's no greater accolade. Anyway, good luck with that. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Meanwhile, we're heading off to Surrey, don't you know?
0:25:13 > 0:25:18Now, if Hello magazine had been around in Edwardian times,
0:25:18 > 0:25:23there's one house that would have featured often - this one!
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Polesden Lacey near Dorking in Surrey
0:25:29 > 0:25:34was the weekend party pad of wealthy society hostess, Mrs Margaret Greville.
0:25:34 > 0:25:41In her luxurious home, she entertained royalty, the rich and famous from all over the world.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Mrs Greville inherited a fortune from her father
0:25:49 > 0:25:54and had no difficulty whatsoever in spending vast amounts of money
0:25:54 > 0:26:01on paintings, furniture, silver and ceramics which she loved showing off at lavish dinner parties.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Is this the dining room?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08The walls of her dining room were adorned
0:26:08 > 0:26:12with the best of British portrait paintings
0:26:12 > 0:26:16by artists like Raeburn, Lawrence and Reynolds
0:26:16 > 0:26:20and the food served at her table was described as unsurpassed anywhere.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25This dining room was designed to be efficient
0:26:25 > 0:26:29because that jib door connects directly with the kitchen,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32so that all the food would arrive piping hot.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And what would you like to arrive in your dining room hottest of all?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Well, a nice drop of soup, of course.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42And what more appropriate vessel to deliver the soup in
0:26:42 > 0:26:44than a goose soup tureen?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Isn't he magnificent?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Chinese export, dating from the 1780s,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54but incredibly amusing.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59What I like about him is the way that you've got those webbed feet modelled, look.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03See the way this little knobbly bit,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05which is like the Muscovy duck head,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09but moulded on the top of this goose, is portrayed.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Lovely foliage, swoopy sort of tail,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16and rather influenced by Robert Adam and his designs,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19but of course, this is a well-organised house,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23a house that has a sense of drama in its dining room,
0:27:23 > 0:27:29so at the other end of the dining table, we find another goose tureen.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32How sweet is that!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36From the Chinese tureens, we move on to a Chinese piece of furniture,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39except it's not really Chinese.
0:27:39 > 0:27:45The cabinet maker that is thought to have made this commode in about 1760
0:27:45 > 0:27:49is the French cabinet maker, Pierre Langlois.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52And what he's done is to take genuine Chinese lacquer
0:27:52 > 0:27:57that probably arrived in the form of draught screens
0:27:57 > 0:28:01and he's cut them up simply for the pleasure
0:28:01 > 0:28:07of showing exotic Chinese lacquer in a piece of English furniture.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12But if we have a look inside, you can see that the drawers that the doors enclose
0:28:12 > 0:28:15are very dull and boring.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18That's because they are English-made,
0:28:18 > 0:28:23whereas the elaborate Chinese lacquer on the outside is just spectacular.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28Mrs Greville also had a taste for the unusual in mahogany furniture.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33This is a pair of armchairs, probably made in Scotland,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36called cockpen armchairs.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42And they're called "cockpen" chairs because they've got this curious, Chinese-style lattice
0:28:42 > 0:28:49which looks just like the fretting that the Chinese used to enclose their fowl in their chicken coops.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Of course, the big question today for our teams over at the auction is,
0:28:54 > 0:28:56are they about to "fowl" up?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Well, here we are in Wisborough Green in deepest West Sussex
0:29:14 > 0:29:20- at Bellmans Saleroom with Jonathan Pratt.- Morning, Tim.- Morning. How are you?- I'm very good.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Bob and Becs have got some pretty extraordinary items here.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28First of all, fairly traditional, this little copper chamber stick.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I've called it Keswick School to draw some people towards it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37The base has a bit of colour and lovely oak leaf motifs. It has the essence of Arts and Crafts.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- I rather liked it.- How much? - I thought about £50 to £70.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- They paid £50.- That's very good. - That's absolutely marvellous. We're very happy with that.
0:29:45 > 0:29:50- What about that pen tray? - I like that sort of Deco style of the animals.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55I think they're rather sweet, the hare and the tortoise, but it's hard to get excited about it.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00It's nice. I'd like to see it in bronze and it's just a lead alloy,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- but for the charm of it, I put £40 to £60 on it.- Fair enough. £70 paid.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07A bit risky. Almost as risky as this house sign.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- I know enough people called Holmes. - Do you?- I used to live next to a Mr and Mrs Holmes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- Get on the phone quick!- They'll be watching, I think, actually.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I thought £60 to £80. It might make less, it might make more.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Bob and Becs paid 72. Why they paid 72, I just don't know.
0:30:24 > 0:30:30On that basis, I think they're going to seriously need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Now, Bob and Becs, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39She had £108 of your cash, your leftover lolly. Has she spent it all? Catherine?
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Now, we have a pair of meat skewers.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46They're silver-plated. One for you and one for you.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Wow!- That one is a pheasant. That one, a partridge maybe?
0:30:50 > 0:30:56But they are beautifully detailed. I think you would have whammed it once upon a time in your meat.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02I just thought they were really beautiful and they cost me £20.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- That's a bargain.- You've done well.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Thank you.- Anyone would think you were an expert(!)
0:31:08 > 0:31:12That's fantastic. The big question is, what do you think they're going to make?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- I think we might make about £20 profit.- Double your money.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- But don't hold me to that!- For the audience at home, let's find out
0:31:20 > 0:31:23what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's little skewers.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28- Two old game birds for you. Are you up for this? - I'm always up for a game bird.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- Oh, yes. They're quite fun. Do you fancy them or not? - I think maybe £40 to £60.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Catherine spent £20. - That's very good, I believe.
0:31:36 > 0:31:41She'll be delighted if you get 40 to 60. The team may not go with it. That's the excitement.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Now, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47First up is the leggy shoehorn.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's fairly straightforward, isn't it?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- I think the technical term is "shedwork".- Oh, do you?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- It's just been simply cut out with a scored-in pattern on it.- Yes.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- For that, I've gone with £10 to £15. - They paid £10, so that's all right.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Neither here nor there. What about the library club fender? A lot of brass!
0:32:06 > 0:32:10A good fireplace, they're very useful, and we sell them regularly
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- and get asked for them from time to time.- What is that one worth?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I've put £100 to £150 on it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21£135 they paid. I think, retail, to buy that in that condition was really good, actually.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25The last item is this so-called treen pipe,
0:32:25 > 0:32:29novelty, champagne bottle...jobby.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31More jobby, I think, than anything else!
0:32:31 > 0:32:37- You wouldn't want to smoke anything out of it.- I don't like the quality of this finish.- It's cheap.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- It doesn't look very old. £10 or £15. - OK, fine. They paid 35.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45What they might make on the club fender, they might lose on the pipe.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50On that basis, they need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Mel, Alex, how are you? - Very well.- Very good.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Excited, I expect, about Mark's bonus buy.- Can't wait to see it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03- What has he got underneath that rag? - The way he's holding it...- The way he's holding it is dead dodgy!
0:33:03 > 0:33:09You gave Mark £120 and I'm going to take this off, Mark, just to help you and reveal all.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15- Oh!- Let me give you this. I think these are rather charming. Obviously, they're bowls.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19They're presentation ones. They're not marked, but I think they're silver.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22They were from a championship or something like that.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27They're very decorative objects. You could have them on a coffee table.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31You could even mount them and have them as a pair of book ends if you wanted.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- You could just play with them. - You could, but I think they're rather nice.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- I really like these. - I would have them in the house.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Of course, you'd have anything in the house.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- That's sharp! - I think they're tasteful. - How much did you pay for them?
0:33:46 > 0:33:51- I got them for £90 for the pair. - OK.- How much money do you reckon they'll make?
0:33:51 > 0:33:56I would like to see them making £120, £140, but whether they'll do that...
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- We'll see. - Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Mark's bowls.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04There's something for you to get hold of, JP.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- That's rather good quality. - Look at that - top quality jobs!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Maker's name on there, Lawrie, as in Lawrie of Glasgow.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15So they're a known maker. I don't go bowling. Do you?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17No, not my thing yet, no.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23As an object, it's a difficult thing to turn. It's a quality piece of turning. I love the silver plaques.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- All of that has an incredibly expensive feeling.- Absolutely.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31How do we translate this into cash for Mark Stacey and his bonus buy?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33My feeling is it's £60 to £90.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38Mark Stacey paid £90 and he rates them because they've got all this stuff going on with them.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41We need Philip Serrell. He's a great expert on bowls.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46- He belongs to a 400-year-old bowling club.- Is that the age you have to be to get in there?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Yes, he's also your fan(!)
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Straight in at 30. 35 now.
0:34:52 > 0:34:5540. 45. 50.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57On the net at £55. Do I see 60?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Is there anything, Roberto, that you wish you hadn't bought?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Oh, um...- Or are you confident with everything?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Well, you know when they give out the Oscars?- Oh, yeah.
0:35:09 > 0:35:15- I've not been there myself! - And you get the close-up of the guy who doesn't win.- Yes.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- I've been practising that look. - Have you? Give us the...
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Is that the one?- That's the one.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Which is resigned, but honourable, right?- Yes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Still with your pride.- I'm trying to be dignified.- It's going to be good.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- Rebecca is very confident. - Yeah, positivity.- My kind of girl. - No defeatism?- No.
0:35:33 > 0:35:39First up then is the little piece of copper, the very pretty Keswick School chamber candlestick.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Start me at £30 for this? £30 for the Keswick School taper stick?
0:35:43 > 0:35:45It's surely worth £30?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- It is, it is.- Any interest at £30?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- It's gone quiet.- Come on! - £20 then...? Is bid.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54At 20 now. Let's go 25. £20 to my left.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- I'll sell it for 20.- I can't believe this.- 25 on the internet.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- £30 in the front row. - Come on, internet.- Come on.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- No further interest. At £30... - Minus 20. Bad luck, team.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Lot 1740, an unusual, patinated spelter tray,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11depicting the tortoise and the hare. I've got £40 straight in with me.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14At £40. Looking for 5 now.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1845. And 50. With me at £50. No further bidding at £50?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21All out? £50, commission bid, I shall sell at 50...
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- £50. Oh, bad luck, team. - I'm practising my look.- So close!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- A slate house name sign... - Come on, Mr Holmes!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- Start me at £20 for this?- £20?!
0:36:34 > 0:36:36No? £20? It's surely worth 20.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38- £10 then?- Oh, we're bombing!
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- I have a horrible feeling about this.- £10 at the back of the room?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That's it. At £10, I'll sell.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Oh, no, that is £102 down.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Someone's got some good bargains, so we've helped someone out in the world.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56- That is a lovely, lovely attitude to take.- Nice girl.
0:36:56 > 0:37:02- With that attitude in mind, are you going to help somebody else out with the skewers?- Absolutely.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- We're going to go with the bonus buy.- Spread the good karma.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- Here they come. - Start me at £20 for these?
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Get the ball rolling at £20...? £20.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16On the left, thank you, at 20 now. At £20. Any more?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- GAVEL BANGS - £20. This is not your day.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22I got a bid on the hammer there.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- £22.- Oh!- He's opened the bidding. He's re-opened the bidding.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Do you want to go to 25, sir? He does go to £25.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- He's gone to £25.- I'm not going to wait so long this time. At £25...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- GAVEL BANGS - Right, £25.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- Well done.- There we go. That's all right. That's plus £5.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42We're not going to sniff at that.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45That sometimes happens. If the bidding is so quick,
0:37:45 > 0:37:49the auctioneer can re-open the bidding if he missed a bid.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54That's perfectly legal and the correct way of going about it and to your advantage
0:37:54 > 0:37:58because the bidding's gone on and you made £5. Well done, Catherine.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- It doesn't make much difference. - It may make all the difference.
0:38:02 > 0:38:08- You are only minus £97. It's so nice to be in two figures. - It is, actually.- Excellent.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20So, Mel, Alex, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- No idea.- You don't want to know. - I'd like to know.- No, you can't.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- We don't tell you because it might affect whether you go with the bonus buy or not.- Of course.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Mark chose for you the lady's leg,
0:38:32 > 0:38:37then you got that funny little pipe treen, champagne bottle jobby
0:38:37 > 0:38:39which I don't quite get, if I'm frank.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I thought that was a bit cheeky. I like that one.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46That club fender is going to make the money for you or not today.
0:38:46 > 0:38:52- I love it.- And if all else fails, you've got the bonus buy with the old bowls.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- It's a nice pair, yes.- A nice pair, a matching pair. Oh, yes.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00- Stop looking at me like that. - We like a good pair.- I'm sorry.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Well, you've got a right pair here!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Anyway, now, moving on, girls,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06here comes the shoehorn.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10And I have £8, £10, £12, £15 bid.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- You're in profit. Look at that. - I'll take 20 now.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15£15. Do I see 20?
0:39:15 > 0:39:20- Come on, a bit more.- Any further interest at 15? I'll sell it then.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23All done, maiden bid of £15...
0:39:23 > 0:39:25That is so cool. Plus £5.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Who says that sex doesn't sell?
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Now, the club fender. There it goes.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I've got interest at 80, 90, 110.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I can go straight in at £120. With me at 120.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Looking for 130. We're selling the club fender. It's £120.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Do I see 130?- Oh, come on! - It's no money.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44120. 130. At the back, 140.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48- Yes!- Against you at 140. All done at £140? Fair warning.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- It's your last chance at £140. - Come on!
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Oh, Lord, you've done it! £140 is plus £5.- Only just!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Will you make a profit of £5 on the next item?- Come on!
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Start me at £15. Straight in at £15 again.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05£15. I'll take 18 if it helps.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Any interest at 18? Commission bid at £15 then.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- Fair warning, I'll sell... 18 waving.- Yes!- 18 in the centre.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Keep waving!- Come on!
0:40:14 > 0:40:18- At £18. Looking for 20 now. - Oh, come on!- Go on!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21At £18 in the room. At £18, I'm selling. All done?
0:40:21 > 0:40:26Oh, God! You had £10. You're now minus seven miserable pounds.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28How can that be? It's not right, is it?
0:40:28 > 0:40:33- I'm a bit gutted.- It's not fair. - I don't blame you. - It's only a small loss.- Never mind.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39- What are you going to do about the old bowls?- What was it, £90 you paid for it?- Hmm.- That's quite a lot.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- I'm not sure now.- Mark won't mind. It's not a personal thing.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Make your mind up.- I want to say no.- I want to say yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:52- It's always tough, this.- Let's do it. I'm going to go for it. Oh, no! - I think we shouldn't.- Quickly.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57- It could be a winning score, minus 7.- No.- You're not going to go with it? Are you sure?
0:40:57 > 0:41:02- I thought you were going with it. - No.- We're not going with it.- No. - All right, fine.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- Here it comes.- A pair of Scottish lignum vitae presentation bowls
0:41:06 > 0:41:09by RG Lawrie's. I have commission bids
0:41:09 > 0:41:11to start me straight in at £80.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13With me at £80. I'll take 5 though.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18With me at 80. Do I see 5 on the net? It's against you all at £80.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Looking for 5 now. 85. 90.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22£90. No more at £90?
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Are you sure? Selling at £90...
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- I don't believe it.- Yes!
0:41:27 > 0:41:30It wiped its face. £90.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Phew! How close was that?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Wow! Anyway, there we are, girls.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- I can breathe now. - You made the right decision.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44- Mark, you found a fantastic buy. - Thank you. Well done, girls.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49100. 110? 110. 120? All done at 120...?
0:41:55 > 0:41:58It is no secret or shouldn't be between you
0:41:58 > 0:42:04that, sadly, both teams today are not going home with money in their pocket.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07There has been a tad of loss-making about,
0:42:07 > 0:42:13or should I say, a tidal wave of loss-making on one team and not much of a loss on the other.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17And the team with the tidal wave of losses are the Reds.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Oh, no!- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes! - Minus £97.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- We won!- Anyway, there we go, minus 97. I mean, what can I say?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29It just was not flowing for you today.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33But the winners today who have managed to win by only losing £7 are Mel and Alex.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36I can't believe that. I'm so excited!
0:42:36 > 0:42:38You had two profits lined up, right?
0:42:38 > 0:42:41If only that treen champagne bottle hadn't let you down,
0:42:41 > 0:42:46you girls would be going home with a small amount of cash and I'm sorry you're not.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- It's been great fun. - It's been lovely.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Anyway, we've liked it so much,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- you should join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
