0:00:04 > 0:00:06So, where are we filming today?
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Well, here's two clues.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Got it? Course you have.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Woof!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Yes, you loyal Bargain Hunters, so knowledgeable, knew.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47They're Staffordshire figures
0:00:47 > 0:00:51and we're at the Staffordshire County Showground, by Stafford.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And I've a funny feeling we're going to have a cracking day.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Coming up, the Reds reveal their true understanding.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05If you like Art Deco, surely you know what Art Deco looks like?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06- Yeah.- Does he know what Art Deco looks like?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08No, he doesn't know what it is.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Huh. Whilst the Blues find it a bit more tricky than they thought.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- Nothing catching your eye? - No.- Oh, gosh, this is hard work.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21The locations may change but the rules remain the same.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Each team gets £300 and an hour to shop for three items
0:01:24 > 0:01:29and the team wins that makes the most profit or the least loss.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Right then, let's go and meet today's teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Today, we got double trouble. We got a couple of Tom Toms
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- and a pair of twins. Hi, everybody.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- So, Tom. Not you, Tom.- OK. - How do you make your living, Tom?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I work in a video rental shop at the moment, part time.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- But that's only...- Yeah, I do... I like to perform as well.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53What sort of a performer are you?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Well, I play guitar in a band.- Yeah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- But I also do a comedy stand-up show with Tom.- Do you?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Yeah.- Are you going to give us a bit of your routine?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Don't think we've got anything planned.- Tell your baby joke for Tim.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Baby joke? Oh, yeah. I was trying to sell some of my old baby stuff on eBay the other day.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I was wondering, do you wan'-a-cot? - Oh, ho-ho-ho.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I can see you're going to go far in this business.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Do you wanna-cot(!)
0:02:15 > 0:02:18As long as you don't come up with too many of these cot jokes, you'll be all right.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Yeah.- Yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Tom, it's not just about all this larking around, is it? You do do other things.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28No, yeah. I volunteer for Coventry and Warwickshire Mind,
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- which is a mental health organisation...- Right.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32..mainly in administrative roles.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Is there anything else we ought to know about you, Tom?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Well, yeah, I try and learn a new word every day.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- What's the word for today, then? - The word today I learnt was laconic.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43- You're not feeling that way, are you?- No.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Cos we're just at the beginning of the day and we're very optimistic about what you're going to achieve.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49So what are your tactics?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Listen to the expert cos we don't know much!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55That could be your first big mistake. Only joking.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Anyway, very good luck. Very nice to meet you.- Thank you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So, girls, are you quaking in your boots, you twins?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Yes, we are.- Absolutely. - Now, Elizabeth, you're the eldest?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- No.- Oh.- I'm the eldest.- Rach? You're the eldest?- I am.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Are you? By how much? - The grand sum of 10 minutes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Ten minutes. And it counts, doesn't it?- Yeah, vitally.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Now, Elizabeth, you used to be a nurse.- Yes, I did.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Tell us about that. Did you have the equivalent of Hattie Jacques come round in dark blue...
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- No, she is Hattie Jacques! - Oh, yeah, but when you started,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25there would be somebody formidable in dark blue chasing you all the time, yeah?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yeah, I can picture her now. She was the infection control officer.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Ooh, she was the infection control officer.- Ferocious.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What else do you like to do?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36We've each got three children, so they keep me busy,
0:03:36 > 0:03:37so I'm looking after them at the moment.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- No twins?- No.- No, thankfully.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And you're the big sister, aren't you, Rach?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- I am the big sister.- Yeah, what does b...- Not literally, however.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- No, no. No.- I'd like to say. - Identical scale, I'd say.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Er...- I'd like to think maybe, tipping on the other side.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57The competitiveness between you two, I can see it seeping out now.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59And what sort of job of work do you do, Raquel?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Well, I graduated with a degree in home economics
0:04:03 > 0:04:05and I went on to work in the food industry,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09specialising in pork pies, pasties and sausage rolls.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- Very interesting.- Then, when I had my children, I stopped working
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and embarked on probably the hardest job I've ever done.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Weaning a family.- Exactly.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- So you both have three children. - We've both got a boxer dog.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- You've both got... - And we both love this programme.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Well, there you go.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30I feel my bosom swelling with pride, having you on the programme.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Now, the money moment. £300 a piece. There you go.- Thank you so much.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Thank you.- Thank you. - And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I always did fancy a pork pie.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Bearing all, ooh, and taking charge of our Red team today,
0:04:45 > 0:04:47it's...
0:04:47 > 0:04:50And, for the Blues, we have patriot...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've no idea what it is you want to buy, actually.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Well, we're looking for something that's very collectible
0:04:59 > 0:05:01that's probably not too expensive.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03What are we looking for?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- Art Deco, I think.- Art Deco. I love Art Deco. Who loves Art Deco?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- I do.- Marvellous. Shall we go and get some Art Deco?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Let's go and get some Art Deco. - Come on.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Maybe a pair of something?- Yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Oh, twins, pairs, yes, brilliant. Well, that sounds like a good idea.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22They're off! And, straight away, Tom and Tom have navigated their way to something of interest.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- I tell you what, I like this cheeky chap.- Do you mind if we look at this?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- WOMAN: No, certainly. - Thank you. Yeah.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30So where would you say that was made, then?
0:05:30 > 0:05:31< WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- OK. Thank you.- China?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Made in China. - I think it's more Japanese
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- and it's probably Meiji period, which is 1868 to 1911.- Right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45But how much is the Japanese figure group?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- I've got 70 on it.- 70.- 70.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Well, we know where it is. - Can we think about that one?- Yeah.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Tom and Tom have just started. Is that OK? Thanks for letting us look.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55< WOMAN: You're welcome!
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Well, well spotted. You have potentially got the eye, Tom.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- There we go.- You are now Tom number one. Now, Tom number two,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05do you have the eye?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Probably not but we'll give it a go.- Come on, then.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Right, your turn.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13A good start to the Tom Toms. That's one down.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Jonathan, stop that chatting, get busy working.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19She wants a photograph with her mother.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Ah, yes, that's what they all say.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- This is the life of an auctioneer, eh?- I know, you lucky thing.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31I don't think that'd sell at auction, unless you were wearing it.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- TIM LAUGHS - What do you mean? JP or Elizabeth?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37You need a bit of cheek in this game, girls
0:06:37 > 0:06:39and, talking of which, what are the chaps up to?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- You're looking, Tom.- I am looking.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- At what?- What on earth is that?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49OK. Let's have a look at that. Tell me how old you think this is.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I wouldn't have a clue.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Well, is it circa 1820, Tom?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Er, yeah.- I think it probably is. - I'd say it probably was, yeah(!)
0:06:57 > 0:06:59And would it be probably lacquered?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Yeah.- Well done, Tom. You've got the eye.- Yes!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Now then, you would think, wouldn't you, Tom,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- cos you're going to tell Tom number one...- Yeah.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- You'd think that it was probably Chinese, wouldn't you?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- But we don't think that, do we? - We don't.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13What do we think it is, then, Tom? (English).
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- English.- Yeah.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- English?- English, yeah, yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19But in the Chinese taste.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yeah, that's what I said. Probably Rotherham(!)
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- That's exactly what I was thinking. - Was it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Rotherham. It's a north country piece, isn't it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28This distinctly shouts, "The North of England."
0:07:28 > 0:07:30That, I find delicious.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34What will we do here? Something to do with writing, isn't it?
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Mm-hm.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Tell Tom. And then you put the pens there, don't you?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Pens, rubber, sharpener.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- No, Tom, you're losing the plot, there.- OK.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You'd probably have, like, an inkwell...
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Right.- An inkwell, tell him. - An inkwell, Tom.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You'd have an inkwell there and a...?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Seal.- ..seal.- Some wax, maybe.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- Some wax.- Yeah.- Do you reckon there's any money in it?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I think, in auction, it's kind of, 1-to-200.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It might make 220, it might make 120. How much is this one?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04WOMAN: Well, let's say for you 150?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06But it's really the bottom price.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I'm sorry. My best.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's in the middle of the estimate.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- What do you think? It's... - I like it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Seeing as we don't know about antiques.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18And, I mean, I seem to know everything about this piece.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- It's amazing.- Table comes with it as well, does it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23WOMAN: The table? Well, it's very cheap.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah, I think we should go for it!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- The table's only £20. - Are you throwing the table in?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29She'll never.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I'll throw the table in for you. - We'll have the table as well.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35You, Tom number one, are still number one, my friend.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- That's what I'm here for. - My gosh, what a team. What a team.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Now that is what I call bare-faced cheek.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Nice work, Reds.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Without the aid of the two Toms, the Blues look a bit lost.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We've been down that one now. We haven't... We need to go up that end.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- OK.- How long have we got left?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Oh, we've only had five or ten minutes.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Plenty of time left, girls, but don't let it creep up on you.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- She's the Goddess of Mercy. - Bet she's good on piano, as well.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11With fingers like that, absolutely marvellous. How much is she?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- 6,000.- Yeah.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- 6,000?- MAN: £6,000.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yep.- All right. What else we got?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Crikey! For lads that claim they don't know much,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26they've got expensive taste.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Meanwhile, the Blues haven't even found anything to look at yet,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33never mind to buy! Come on, girls.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35You're covering some ground, ladies.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39We've, I... It'll just speak. It'll scream.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40- Do you think?- It'll jump out at you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Is it shouting, Rach? Is it shouting?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47No.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Nothing catching your eye? - No. Anything catching yours?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Er...
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Oh, JP, this is a slow start for the Blues.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03But have the Reds found something to write home about?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- They've made it look like a typewriter?- Yeah, and the pewter?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Am I missing out on something here? Hello, there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Are you trying to sell them something?
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- MAN: Hoping to. - Good. Good. I love that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- What are you looking at? - Old typewriter but it's not.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I'm confused. There's no screen.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Oh, that's a bit of fun, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Tell me why you like it, then, Tom number two.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- It wasn't me, it was you. - Oh, it was number one.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I just wanted to have a go and then it fooled me. It's almost like a practical joke.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Well, it is a practical joke today but, in its day, say '60, '65,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39that was absolutely state of the art.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42So your mum or your dad might have had one at work
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and you, as a five-year-old at home, would have had the equivalent.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Do you know what the most important thing is?- No.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50The box. Does it have its box?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Bit tatty.- Oh.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Now, there you go.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58That, for me, makes it a really desirable thing
0:10:58 > 0:11:01because the boxes are the first things, as a kid, what do you do?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You rip the box open, you chuck it away.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06You burn it, you jump on it, you paint it, whatever.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And you get stuck into that. And who's it made by?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Mettoy.- OK. I haven't come across that before.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Are we going to try and get a price?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Are we going to try and get a deal? - Yeah.- I think so, yeah.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19What would be the absolute death on this?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- I've had a lot of people looking at that this morning.- Yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I've got it on at 35. I could do 30.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- I like it.- Yeah, I like it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- And 35's not a... - No, it's actually 30, Tom.- 30?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You can talk me up again if you want to.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32No!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- And, and, yeah... - For 30, shall we go for that?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I think it's a lovely thing. You'll never find another one.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- Thank you very much, indeed. - OK.- Thank you very much.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Now we know what your type is, chaps!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Two items secured and one very pleased expert.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53On the other hand, JP is in double trouble.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- You don't have to take my advice.- No.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59You are our expert, Jonathan. We need to take your advice.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01What are you looking for? What jumps out at you?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Something that I'd wear myself.- OK.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Oh, gosh, this is hard work! - You don't say(!)
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Right, let's keep going. We've got something in mind.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Really? Can JP finally knock these twin chicks
0:12:14 > 0:12:17off their perch and get them to fly...or buy?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Instead of pairs of things, how about a toucan?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Very good. So tell me about it, Jonathan.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Well, it's Carlton Ware. They did this Guinness promotional pottery.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30And, you know, we're approaching half an hour of our time having been gone
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and it is always a good idea to get something under the belt.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Yes.- I am optimistic, though. Half an hour to go.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Don't worry.- Fine, fine. Put it down. You can always come back.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44Nothing's ruffling those girls' feathers but JP's in a flap.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Come on, Blues. Still three items to root out.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Meanwhile, David Harper has spotted a lovely pair.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Do you like them enough to consider purchasing them?
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- No.- I'm the same, to be honest. - I don't.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Don't get too relaxed, chaps. The clock is still ticking.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06You haven't got it all sewn up yet.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Elizabeth, what do you think to this?- Really nice.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I know it's old but it's, nevertheless, pretty.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Yeah, it's nice. What do you think, Jonathan?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Little silver pin cushion.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17With silver, you want to make sure there's no little knocks.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20That's rather tidy. The hallmark's there.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Untidy or tidy?- Yeah, there's no dents, no little creases
0:13:23 > 0:13:25in the metal, so that's rather sweet.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Pin cushions are to be used,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30hence this would have been velvet and it's virtually all worn away.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And it's a Birmingham hallmark, which is an anchor,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36and you've got a little lower case G, which is about 1907.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- What's your best price on the pin cushion?- DEALER: What's on it?- 22.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43DEALER: 19. It's cheap anyway.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Deal.- Deal.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Finally. Good work, girls. That was straight to the point.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Two more items now, please. Sharpish!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Ah, now then. Tom.- Yes. - Number two.- Yes.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- You said you liked Art Deco.- Yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Is there anything Art Deco there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01I expect there is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05Then, if you like Art Deco, surely you know what Art Deco looks like?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06- Yeah.- Does he know what Art Deco looks like?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- No.- Well, how does he know he likes it?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12He just likes the name. It's the only thing he knows the name of.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17That's more like it. The Reds are back on form.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Now, how is JP getting on with those twins?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24We've only got the one object, which is slightly concerning.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- That's a nice fire fender. - OK. Well, have a look at it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- I like that. I do like it, with the hearts.- Cast iron.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Yeah, so do I.- Little fire kerb. - What do you think, really?
0:14:33 > 0:14:34I want you to buy things that catch your eye.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- I like that.- I like that. - What someone could do with this
0:14:37 > 0:14:39is highly polish it, so it has that really right sheen.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43These things come in and go out of fashion because the fireplace changes...
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Yes, the size of the fireplace changes as well.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48The look of having the warming pan
0:14:48 > 0:14:51and all the brass around the fireplace has gone now.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But this has still got a classical touch.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- I think we should actually buy. - Is it heavy?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Oh, God, yeah.- It's cast iron. It might have been painted, at some point.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02But you've got a little leaf pattern running along the bottom,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05which is very typical. This is just typical 1870.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Excuse me, do you mind telling us what your best price on this is, please?
0:15:08 > 0:15:14- Erm, I'll take 30 for it. - No less?- No.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18I wanted 35 originally but I'd be happy to take 30 for it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- OK.- OK, let's go for it. Thanks very much.- Thank you.- Great.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Great.- DEALER: Thank you.- Great. There we go.- Perfect.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- That's number two. - Number two.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30It was a slow start but now those girls are on fire.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33And the sizzling Reds are burning to snap up their final item.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- What's that, then?- Is it a card box?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Yes.- Probably part of a much bigger set, I would assume.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46OK. "The game of skill, excitement and interest."
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Is it, really?- It's interesting. - It's interesting.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52OK, so they're not ordinary cards, are they?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It's got novelty value, hasn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And anything with novelty value is really good.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Quirky, a bit different. Hi, there. What's the price on the card game?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- DEALER: £10.- How much?- Ten.- Ten? What can you buy for a tenner?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Yeah. It's got my vote. - Want to try for eight?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- If you want to haggle on £10... - Well, let's put number one onto it
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- because he is, he is the king negotiator.- OK.- But well found.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Yeah. Mm-hm. OK.- I'm just going to pass you over to Tom number one
0:16:22 > 0:16:23and he'll work a bit of magic.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Any chance we could chuck the chips in as well?
0:16:26 > 0:16:28What are you suggesting?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm saying chips, card game, go together.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- How much for?- Dunno. 15 for the two?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34OK, yeah. Yeah.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Do that?- Deal.- Tom, are you happy? - Yeah, I'm happy with that.- Lovely.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- We'll do that.- OK. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Good deal, chaps. Job's done.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- How long have we got? - Probably not very long. Probably only ten minutes or so.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50We need to really go down one of these middle routes.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54We need something that's going to just be a bit oomphy, don't we, now?
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Come on, you've just got to find something.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- I actually quite like that. - OK. What draws you to this.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- The fact it's symmetrical. - A twin-handled vase.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Yes!- OK.- I actually really like that.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's quite unusual, actually.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- 'Are you sure, JP?' - Similar to that one that...
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- Sharp edges, Jonathan. - And a bit more age to it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I've just not seen a glass vase in its own stand.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It might have been for a cocktail shaker.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It could have been, yeah. But then this fits so well.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23So are you saying you don't think it matches or...
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- No, I think it's fine. Let's have a look at the bottom. - Does that say a year?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31It says Sheffield. EPNS. The whole thing is late 19th century,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34about, well, 1900. 1890, 1900.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36DEALER: I would have said 1890s, 1900s.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Well, we need an antique, definitely.- Yeah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- I can imagine that with some tulips. - What's your best price on that, please?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- What have I got on it?- 68. - 50 would be my lowest.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Not a penny more?- No. - Or less.- Or less.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- Well, you can't say no, can you? - I don't know if I like it. - What do you think, Jonathan?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59It's one of those objects which will appeal to ladies like yourself
0:17:59 > 0:18:01who are thinking about something for the mantelpiece,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05something for a chest at home, but it's always a gamble.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I think we should buy it and then let Jonathan go
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and use his magic charms on the bargain buy.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15- Is what I think.- I think we could rely on you if our three things dived.- ..dived.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Because you have chosen all... Get this now.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19You did choose all three items yourselves.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- BOTH: Yes.- Brilliant. As long as we've got that on tape.- Yes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25What are you saying by saying that, Jonathan?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27No. Go for it if you want to go for it.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- I think let's go for it.- Done.- Done.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Done. Ha. Couldn't resist.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36The hour's up. So why don't we try and get a sighting
0:18:36 > 0:18:37of what the Red team bought?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The Reds are convinced their 19th century writing box has profit written all over it,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47especially since they've got a table thrown in.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50They paid £30 for the 1960s toy typewriter.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Clickety clack.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54And let's hope there's no joker in the room
0:18:54 > 0:18:59when their 1930s card game and chips go under the hammer.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You two have been good value for money, I've got to say.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06This is the joy of having entertainers on the show.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Honestly, Tim, it's been brill.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's been entertaining enough. Now, which is your favourite piece, Tom?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Probably the typewriter. And your favourite piece? What about you?
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Well, I would say... It's probably not my favourite piece...
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- You agree, Tom, or not, Tom? - Getting the box and the table for nothing, really.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- That was a free table. - That was your biggest moment.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Mm.- Yeah. And how much did you spend all round?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- £195.- That is a mature amount of money. Lovely.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30£105 of leftover lolly, please, Tom.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Thank you.- Here we go. - Excellent. Good.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35What are you going to spend it on?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Haven't got a clue but I'll find something that suits Tom and Tom.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Yeah. Something colourful. - Colourful.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Could be.- Art Deco.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Well, I could say it's Art Deco, they would never know.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46- No.- Now you've taught us.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Anyway, all the very best. We're going to check out right now what the Blue team bought, hey?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The Blues are pinning their hopes on the silver pin cushion.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57A snip at...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Let's hope the sale room will be ablaze
0:19:59 > 0:20:02with bids for their cast iron kerb...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04or fender.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09And look what they got for £50. A glass vase with silver plated frame.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Smashing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14You're still chewing that thing out of your teeth.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So how have you got on with these terrible twins, then?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's been fantastic. It's been great fun.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- They worked very hard. What can I say?- You've had nothing to do, JP.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Just followed around.- Had a good time?- You did follow us around!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- We were being busy.- Was he gentle with you?- Incredibly gentle.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31That's what we like to hear. Because you spent a mammoth amount, didn't you?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34The grand sum of £99.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36On all three pieces, £99.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Is there a strategy here to give Jonathan Pratt
0:20:39 > 0:20:42the maximum amount of money so that he can expose himself fully.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- We're trying to maximise his potential in spending. - And his expertise.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Yeah. Well, fair enough. Maximise away, then.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Who's got the £201 of the leftover money?- I have the money.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Thank you. 200 and one smacker. - And one pound.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02This is getting towards record amounts for leftover lolly. You know that?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03I feel a big responsibility on my shoulders.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07There is a big responsibility. Any idea what you might buy? It's a great fair.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10To be honest, I don't know. I've got an idea of what they like,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14so I'll steer clear of that, cos I need to make some money out of these things!
0:21:14 > 0:21:15There's an honest response.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Are you suggesting we bought rubbish?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I think before you shop for anything, you should give these girls a nice cup of tea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Look after yourselves, girls. - Thank you.- Meanwhile, we're heading off to Bath.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28You ever been there? It is the most gorgeous place.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Today I've come to the majestic
0:21:36 > 0:21:39No 1, Royal Crescent in the city of Bath.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43It was designed in the 18th century by John Wood the Younger,
0:21:43 > 0:21:46when Bath became an aristocratic resort.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51This beautiful house, which is now a museum,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54reflects the life of the fashionable Georgian period.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59The nobleman in residence would want to show off his finery
0:21:59 > 0:22:03and how better than with an impressive dinner?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I could eat a horse, me.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Unfortunately, we're fresh out of horses today.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But what we have got is the most deliciously arranged
0:22:16 > 0:22:21and impressive dining room, set as if you're about to enjoy
0:22:21 > 0:22:25a dessert course in 1780.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29But what I like about these arrangements in period dining rooms
0:22:29 > 0:22:32is how you come across the original bits of kit,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36which are designed to make life just that bit more comfortable.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Take this chap. Looks a bit like a coffee pot.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44Well, it isn't. It was designed specifically to keep gravy warm.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Called an Argyll, after the fifth Duke of Argyll,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51up in cold Inveraray Castle in Scotland,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55got fed up with the gravy arriving cold at his table,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59so they invented this fellow, which is a hot-water jacket
0:22:59 > 0:23:02that's filled through that flapped hole like that.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06And it then surrounds the inner chamber where the gravy would sit,
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and, hey presto, when you come to pour it out,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12out it comes, all nice and sweet and brown and delicious.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18But what's the point in keeping the elements of the meal warm
0:23:18 > 0:23:21if the plates themselves are cold?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Hence you have a little tin box like this
0:23:25 > 0:23:28that doesn't look terribly impressive but, my gosh, it's practical
0:23:28 > 0:23:32because, if you open it up, there you've got your plates.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Because, no matter how hard you try in a large house,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39it is impossible to get the plates
0:23:39 > 0:23:43from the kitchen up here in time before they cool.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46So this little gadget, a metal plate warmer,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49would be set up close to the fire, loaded up with plates,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53and those plates would then be at exactly the right temperature
0:23:53 > 0:23:57until the very moment that you want to serve up.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Perhaps the most impressive part of the table display
0:24:01 > 0:24:03is this central sculpture.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08In this case, a central temple and a stylised garden.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Each piece of which is made out of sculpted sugar.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16Indeed, in the 18th century, it was sometimes the case
0:24:16 > 0:24:19that the side plates themselves were made of sugar,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22so at the end of the dinner, you'd take a plate,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26break it on your knee into little bits and start to eat the plate.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Huh! How much fun would that be?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But I suggest you don't with these plates,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35which are precious Chamberlain's Worcester.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Each piece has been painted with one of Aesop's fables,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44en grisaille, that's all in shades of grey or black.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49This particular one shows the fable of the fox and the grapes.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Old fox is wandering along, very, very thirsty one day.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57He spots a delicious bunch of ripe grapes
0:24:57 > 0:24:59and leaps up to grab 'em and misses.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03He has another go, another leap, and he fails the second time.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07He turns to the bunch of grapes and thinks to himself,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10"I bet they were sour anyway".
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Moral of the story,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16don't despise what you fail to achieve.
0:25:16 > 0:25:21The big question today, of course, for our teams over at the auction is...
0:25:21 > 0:25:25..will they be better at achieving their profits
0:25:25 > 0:25:28than Aesop's fable?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43We're at Winterton's sale room and with Richard Winterton,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- proprietor and famed auctioneer. Richard.- Pleased to have you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51And we've got a mixture, as you can see.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56First of all, the Chinese export lacquer wee games box.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Looks to me what they call clapped out. How do you see it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Exactly that. - I think the thing is old,
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I mean, it is 1820s or 1840s, something like that.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08But when they're missing fittings and when they're rubbed away, watch out.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11OK, what's your most generous, bullish, dynamic estimate on that?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14We've gone 80 to 100, mainly because of the age,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16someone will have a go at that money.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Do you think they'll go to 150? Ooh!
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- No.- No.- Do you smell a bit of a loss with it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- They paid 150?- They paid 150.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Oh, I though you were... - No, no.- ..making a joke.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28No, it's no joke. Not on this programme, I tell you.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29It's enough to make you want to weep.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32The only saving grace is they got that table thrown in.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35That looks like a five to ten pound table to me.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38We can't be unkind about it because these things can very often turn around in the sale
0:26:38 > 0:26:42and make a lot of money for some reason.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- but, logically, it won't do as well as they had hoped.- No. No.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Passing on, we come to the tin-plate typewriter which, I have to say,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I think is rather a fun item.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- I like these things in boxes, you know.- Do you?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Yes, I do. And when they're in good condition like that
0:26:56 > 0:27:01and it takes you back to a little moment in time in 1953,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05when kids were kids and dads were dads.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- It's still only £20 to me. - You're such a...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- I'm sorry, I've put a real gloom on it for you.- You're such a hard man.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- But then, they're not great sellers. - What, not even in lime green?
0:27:13 > 0:27:18- Not even in...- When was the last time you saw a spearmint typewriter?
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- What are you saying then, 20 to 30?- Yeah 20-30. - OK, they paid £30.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Next we've got some gaming chips and a faux book box.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Again, made up with some free gifts. How do you rate it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- About as much as the typewriter. - Do you? What, 20 to 30?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- 20 to 30.- That is very encouraging. - I knew you were going to say that.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- I've got a horrible feeling I... - Cos they've paid £15, actually.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41- I don't want to get their hopes up.- OK.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Well, they're going to need all the help that they can get, Richard.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Yep.- Cos the bonus buy awaits and here it comes.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Now, listen boys, you spent £195,
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- you gave David Harper £105.- Yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57David, show us what you spent the 105 on.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, we're going on a trip to the Orient.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Oh-hoo.- Ah.- What do you think so far?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Rubbish?- No, it's all right. Carry on.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- Show a bit of enthusiasm. - All right.- What's it do?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, OK, I'll tell you. First of all, it's a lovely box.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- But when we open the box, we have inside...- Aah!
0:28:14 > 0:28:17..some blue and white hors d'oeuvre dishes.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Very nice.- Grab one and tell me what you think.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21You wouldn't fit many crisps in there.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23DAVID AND TIM LAUGH
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- That's Good.- Think a little more sophisticated there, Tom.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Nuts.- Nuts, exactly.- Nuts.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- And a tiny little party. - Perfect.- A few cashews.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- A few cashews? That's what we want, cash.- We do.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- You've got the right idea. - How much was it, then?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- Shall we talk about what it is? - It holds crisps.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41For crisps. Date-wise, how old is it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Oh, I wouldn't have a clue. I'd just be making it up.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- That's a very sound answer.- Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I'd always stop while you're ahead, yeah? Have you got an idea, Tom?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51- I'm guessing 19th...- Century.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- Yes.- Absolutely right, Tom.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- Spot on.- Classic.- OK, so there you go. Chinese, 19th century,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59but in its box, which is fantastic. So, cost-wise,
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- £70.- Oh.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Good.- Lovely, well. Well, we watched his lips.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Spot on.- For the audience at home, let's watch the auctioneer's lips.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Right, Ricardo. More of the same.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Chinese export lacquer top, look, that's rather handsome.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- So that's perfectly genuine 1820s, 1840s.- Yep. Perfect.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22And we've got this set inside which, strictly speaking,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- is hors d'oeuvres, isn't it? - Yeah.- How do you rate it?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27We've put 70 to 90.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30If it hasn't always been in the box, and there's some doubt,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32they've really done very well to match it, haven't they?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- It's a good fit, isn't it? - It is a very good fit. Yeah, but...
0:29:35 > 0:29:38But it has to be said that the porcelain is extremely poor quality.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Very. The box isn't whoopee-get-excited-about really, is it, either?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- No. So your estimate's 70 to 90.- Yeah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Harper paid 70, so he stands a fair chance of making...
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's a touch-and-goer, isn't it?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- If the team decide to go with it.- Yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Now. Thump that fellow down there and move on to the Blues.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58First item is the pin cushion,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02which they invested the princely sum of £19 in.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06That's OK. We would have put, what, £20 on it. They won't make a huge profit but...
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Estimate of 20 to 30 do you think? - 20 to 30. Yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- £19 paid, that's a wise buy. - That's fine.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Next is the fire kerb. There's a lot of them about, isn't there?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17There are a lot about. But they do sell.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Yes.- There's still a market for them.- I think we've put £50 on it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Have you really?- Yeah, I think they'll make 50.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Gosh, this is the sale room from heaven, this is, isn't it?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- £50 for that fellow? - Yeah, they bought well.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Yes they did, £30 they paid, our lot, so...
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- I think that's a small profit again. - That's very nice, too. Thank you.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37And the last item is the cut glass vase in the plated mount.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40When I sit here looking at that, that isn't too bad.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42That could make a bit of money. This is in at the moment,
0:30:42 > 0:30:45so people who can't afford the silver are looking for the plate.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47They've got half a chance.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- The cut glass is quite good, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51We've put 30 to 50 on it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54I think we're probably, we're more top end, going a bit away with that.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- Well, you need to be top end... - Oh no.- ..because they paid 50.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- Did they?- Yes.- I thought you were going to say 100 and something... - No, no, no.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03They paid £50 which, I think, is a fair retail price for it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Yeah.- And you're estimating that you might just get to 50.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- I think we'll get that. - And that's very fair.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11So all three of their items are in the frame.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Yep.- I think they can be comfortable,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17but let's, in any event, go and have a look at their bonus buy.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Girls, you spent £99,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24you gave the boy £201 of leftover lolly.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Did you blow the lot, JP?- No.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30I spent £60 on a little shagreen spectacles case.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Normally these are, sort of, 18th century, early 19th century,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37and it's just quite a light shagreen and it's quite a collectable thing.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- Shagreen being?- Well, it's meant to be green-stained shark skin,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42but it's probably more of a ray skin,
0:31:42 > 0:31:46but it was used as a decorative veneer on various small objects.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48How old is it?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51This is, in my eye, probably, sort of, first half of the 19th century.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- And how much did you pay for it? - I paid 60.- 60.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Do you want to handle it?- Yes. - There we go.- How about that? - How about that?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- Do you think it's going to make any money?- I think so.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03It's collectable but it's also practical.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- It's amazing.- So many, many things to help it along.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- OK, brilliant. Thank you very much. - ..much. Great.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11You're perfectly happy with that? You're just going to ponder, aren't you?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Yes.- Until after the sale of the first three items.- We'll wait.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16We'll wait for the life-changing moment.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Oh, yeah? That would be the auction, would it?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well, hang on a minute. For the audience at home,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jonathan's shagreen box.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Here you go, Richard.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31We see loads of these come through,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33certainly two or three a month. I know it sounds stupid but we do.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Is there a container coming in, I ask myself?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I think it's got some age to it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Not a reproduction?- I don't think so. We see a lot of them,
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- so we haven't put a great deal of money on it.- Like how much? - About £40.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48OK. £60 paid by JP.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52OK. Again, it's all the money, isn't it? I don't know if I'd want to gamble.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55No. OK. Well, very good luck, that's all I can say, Richard.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:33:02 > 0:33:0340.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- OK, Tom.- Yeah.- You all right, Tom?
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- David?- Yeah. Fine, thank you. - OK. Sharp? Good.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14You've got your Chinese style writing and work box.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17£150 paid for that, his estimate's 80 to 120.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Ouch. Right.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21He sees it as a bit of a struggle to get to 150 on that one
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- but the market's strong. Who knows what will happen?- Yeah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- There's a free table. - Here it comes.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29There's the writing box. There's a table with it, as well.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- There is quite a few bids on the book...- Wey-hey.- Ooh, yes.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36We are in at £80 to start. I have 90. I have 100.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- Come on.- I have 10, 20, 30, 140.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Two bids out at 140.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46First one on the telephone gets it at the 140. So we're a 140 bid.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Come on.- 140.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Anyone else coming in the room? 140. We are sold then at 140.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56You are so close there. Everybody should eat their words.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58£140 is...
0:33:58 > 0:33:59Blame me, blame me.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- It's minus 10 but it's not as bad as it could have been.- No.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Now, here comes the typewriter, tin-plate jobbie.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Near enough in untouched condition.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10£5 to start me, nothing on my book at all. £5.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13£5, £5, madam.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- £8. £10.- Come on.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- £12.- Come on. - £12, here at the front.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21- At £12, £12. Front here at £12. - Come on.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Do we have 15 anywhere?- Don't like the look of this.- I don't.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Sold at £12.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30£12 is minus £18. So it's minus 28.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- I'm disappointed by that.- I know.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Now here comes your box and your chips.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37It's the card game, chips, etc.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Again, £5 to start me, nothing on my book again, surprisingly.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- £5?- £5.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45£6. Ooh, £7.
0:34:45 > 0:34:478? No. £7 there at £7.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Could be your fault, Tom. - It will be. I reckon it will be.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53At £7. Seated. £8.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56£9, £10, £12.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- 14.- Come on, Tom. - £14. Right away at 14.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- A pound off profit. - Sold then at £14.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Yours at 14.- Oh! Your fault, Tom. - Minus £1 on that.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- It is my fault. That's my fault. - Oh, I can't bear it.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11That means, overall, you're minus 29.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13So what are you going to do about the Chinese set?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Now think about the last Chinese set.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- I reckon we should go...- Go for it. - Yeah, we're going to go for it.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- You happy with that, Tom? - Yeah, if we...
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- Yeah, let's do it. - If you were 129 up,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- you might think about risking it, right?- Yeah.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- You're minus 29.- Exactly.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Yeah. We're going to go for it. - Go for it, yes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33The decision is made. Now I can tell you what the auctioneer's estimate is
0:35:33 > 0:35:35and his estimate is £70-90.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39And Dave paid 70 on it, so he rates it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40- Here it comes. - It's the set now.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44Again, we have commission from the same two that bid on the last lot,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47on the Chinese, so we are in at £70.
0:35:48 > 0:35:5180, 90, 100, 110, 120.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- Bid with me at 120.- Classic. - This is good, David.- At 120.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- All out now 120. - Your bacon's been saved.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Sold at 120. - Classic. That was your fault.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05That is, I would say, that is a classic moment.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08What am I doing? I don't do this. Anyway, no, hang on a minute.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- All right. OK. - A classic moment, this.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Let me do the maths. You were minus 29, which is as good as 30.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19And you've just won 50 on that, that's plus 50, less 30, is 20,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21You got £21 plus...
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- £21 profit.- Yes!
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Fantastic.- From nowhere, this man brought your pride back...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Saved us.- I take it all back.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Boys, we make a great team.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3435, 35.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Elizabeth, Rachel. This is your moment.- Yes.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Been chatting to Tom Tom? - No.- No.- No. Very good idea.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Good. Let me quickly run through your items.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50You've got the pin cushion. You paid £19.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52He loves it. He thinks it's worth 20 to 30.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55You've got the fire kerb. You paid 30. He loves it.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- He's put 50-70 on it. - Fantastic.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01Your glass vase, he loved it. He's put 30-40 on it, but he thinks that's low.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- He thinks you'll definitely make a profit on that.- Oh, great. - You could be...- Millionaires.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Steady, Rach. Anyway, the fact of the matter is,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11you might get a golden gavel, if you play your cards right.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Anyway, the first item is the pin cushion.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17AUCTIONEER: Little silver pin cushion there. Birmingham 1907.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Nothing on my book but I think will do quite well. So £5 bid.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23£5, £8. 10, 12, 15.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Load of bids. 18, 20, 22, 25.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- I love it.- I love it, too. I love the pin cushion.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Look at that.- £30. Right there at £30, £30, £30.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33£30 through the centre at 30.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Here we go.- All done, sold then at £30.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Bingo.- £30 is...
0:37:40 > 0:37:42You are £11 up.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- How cool is that?- Now, here comes your fire kerb.- Come on.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I think he's a bit over optimistic about this.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Nothing on my book on this one. Starting at 50. 40. £20?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- No way.- Oh, he's got no bid?

0:38:14 > 0:38:16£20? At £18, then.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20At £18. Looks like we're finished at 18.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22This is not looking so good, girls.
0:38:22 > 0:38:23At £18.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- OK.- £18 is...
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- which means, overall, you're minus £1.- Oh, right.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Again, a bit of interest on this one.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36The plated two-handled. Commission bids we're in at 30.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56We are sold, then, at 85.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59£85. That is...
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Well done, ladies. I didn't rate that at all.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Yeah, it was amazing, wasn't it? So, overall, you're plus £34.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- What are you going to do about the shagreen spectacles? - Oh no definitely, we love it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12And we love you, Jonathan.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Are you going to go with this? - It would do us good.- Don't do it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Don't you think?- No. - You do have to look around
0:39:18 > 0:39:21and feel the quality of the shagreen collectors.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Do you think they're here in town?
0:39:23 > 0:39:24- No.- No.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- Do you think you're going to go with it?- No.- No.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28- You're not going with it?- No.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31That's a shame. Never mind. But thank you for being so positive for me.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34You're not going with the bonus buy? Definitely not?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Mr Pratt, I don't think today,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- we're going to go with your thing. - You're not doing it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40The shagreen spectacle case, then.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Again, nothing on my book. £40, 30, 20 to go.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- 20 to go.- £20. 10 to start.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01At the 35, all done. Sold, then, at £35.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Jonathan, go back to your day job.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06This is what I do for a living.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09That is minus £25, yes?
0:40:09 > 0:40:13So you didn't go with the bonus buy. You did very, very well, you twins.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- And...- Well done ladies. - ..you go home with a profit of £34.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20What we don't want you to do, though, is don't talk to the Reds
0:40:20 > 0:40:21until we reveal, all right?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- OK. Thanks, Jonathan. - Thank you, Jonathan.- Well done.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Good decision, that.- Yes.- Yes.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Not a word to the boys. - OK. Lips sealed.- OK, super.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- That's absolutely marvellous, girls. - Thank you.- Thanks, Tim.- Well done.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3512, 15, 18.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Well, well, well, well, well. What a result today.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Have you been chatting, you teams?
0:40:47 > 0:40:48- ALL: No. - No, not at all. Good.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Well, it's lovely to be able to reveal that today we have two teams of winners.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56- Ooh!- Ooh!- Yes, two teams who are going home with folding cash.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01And there's just £13 between them
0:41:01 > 0:41:03on the winnings stakes.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07And the team that is marginally behind is...
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- ..the Reds. - CHEERING
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Bingo.- We thought we did so well, didn't we?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17- That's your fault.- That's your fault. - Oh, yes, it's my fault.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19The Reds did stunningly badly
0:41:19 > 0:41:21and then suddenly careered back...
0:41:21 > 0:41:24with a great result from David Harper.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27£120 on the bonus buy was a very good price,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30out of which was £50 profit,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32which dragged the guys back from the abyss of shame.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36And it gave us a lovely rollercoaster of a programme.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Oh, it was amazing. - Overall then, plus £21.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42And here, Tom,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45for you and Tom, are the £21.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- There's your £21.- Ta very much. - Oh, that's mine, is it?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- I hope you enjoyed it, anyway. - Yeah.- Because you've been
0:41:51 > 0:41:54very, very, very good contestants and it's been lovely having you on the show.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58But the victors today are the girls, who are going home with £34.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Fantastic. Very pleased. - How's that?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- There we go, £34. - Thank you very much.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05There's 30 and there's your £4. You're happy about that.
0:42:05 > 0:42:11- Thank you very much.- Yes. And £35 profit on that nice glass jobbie
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- with the plated frame.- Yes.- Now, none of us saw that coming did we?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- No.- Except us.- Except you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Well quite, clearly, but you didn't see £35 of profit in it, did you?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I mean, a bit of a profit but that was amazing.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- We did love our vase.- We did.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Which was the best bit for you, Rach?
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Oh, the whole thing.- Was it? - Just been brilliant.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- And you, Tim, of course. - Well, thank you.- And Jonathan.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Thank you.- How can we forget?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- What about you?- Oh... - The best bit, the very best bit?
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Is it picking up the money or what? - Absolutely.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41No, but that's not, no. What's been the best bit?
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- It's the taking part.- ..part, yeah.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- I'll give you the line.- Thanks.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48It's the taking part. Anyway, such joy it's been.
