0:00:10 > 0:00:15There is nothing quite like the hustle and bustle of Portobello Road.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20People flock here from very corner of the globe
0:00:20 > 0:00:24to visit one of the most important addresses in the world of antiques.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26So, what are we waiting for?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Portobello Road in West London always attracts large crowds.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00But joining this army today
0:01:00 > 0:01:04will be our teams of reds and blues
0:01:04 > 0:01:08on the lookout, as ever, for a bargain in all this melee.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Here's a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The hands-on reds go for hands-up tactics.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- 140. Let's make a deal. 140. - Otherwise we'll have to walk away.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22We'll have to walk away. It's a shame.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24# The minute you walked in the joint... #
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And hey, big spender, this pair are right up Dame Shirley's street.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Actually, I'm the good spender.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34This time, he said, "It's not our money. Spend the lot!"
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41On Bargain Hunt today, fitting right in with our location,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43we have international teams.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47For the reds we have Roberta and Tom.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52And for the blues we have husband and wife Trudi and Robert.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Welcome everybody.- Hello. - Smashing to see you.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Now, Roberta, you live in London now but where do you originally hail from?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I'm from Rome, Italy, from the centre of Rome.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I've been living in the UK for 15 years.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09And that's where I met Tom about two years ago
0:02:09 > 0:02:10at the Royal Albert Hall.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12What were you doing in the Royal Albert Hall?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16We met through a love of the music of Ennio Morricone.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22We were sitting on the same box, drinking champagne. That's how we met.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- That's very romantic, isn't it? - I suppose so.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27What do you mean, you suppose so?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- You work in the beauty consultancy business.- Yes.- Tell me about that.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm a make-up artist, I'm a beautician.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I've been in the beauty business for quite a while
0:02:36 > 0:02:40and I work for one of the biggest beauty brands.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44So I move around, I move from store to store.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- So I'm a very good salesperson as well.- I bet you are.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50How are you going to get on today not as a salesperson
0:02:50 > 0:02:53but as a person buying from salespeople?
0:02:53 > 0:03:00Well, I will try to aim to get three items at the lowest possible price
0:03:00 > 0:03:03and be able to re-sell them and make a profit.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06This is magic to my ears, Roberta,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09because that's exactly what we do on this programme.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12You've cracked it in spades, darling!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Brilliant. Now, Tom, you've got something of a high-flying career.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18High-flying, yes, low-lying sometimes!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- You're a pilot.- Yes. - Tell us about that.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I used to work in commercial aviation
0:03:24 > 0:03:27but now I fly a private jet for a private family.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32We all know these Italians can be very hot-blooded and all the rest of it.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Fiery, even. Are you going to get on all right, today, on the buying process?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39He knows that I love mirrors.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And he doesn't want me to buy any mirror at all.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Have a bit of a battle over mirrors, then.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Most interesting anyway. I wish you very good luck.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Now, Trudi, where was your home originally?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- In Rangoon, Burma.- Was it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Yes.- Gosh, how lovely. How long have you been over here?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- 30 years plus.- Gosh.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- So you've spent most of your life in this country.- Yes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- With my husband.- Yeah.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- And what have you done here? - I'm a GP - I was a GP. I retired three years ago.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Mm-hm.- I had a very rewarding and fulfilling career.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Robert, you're married to Trudi.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16You've been married for a year or two!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21As a result of working in the medical profession, yes?
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Yes, over 30 years ago, we were both a young GP and a young nurse.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30We were called together to see a patient
0:04:30 > 0:04:32and as I clapped eyes on her over the bed,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I said, "She's the one for me!"
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Oh, how sweet!
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- And you were wearing your nurse's uniform at the time?- Yes!
0:04:39 > 0:04:41And she obviously fell for you!
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I fell for the blue eyes! - We've been together ever since.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Isn't that lovely? Will you be flexible enough between you
0:04:48 > 0:04:51to go for all the variety of things there are here on offer?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- I hope so.- I think so.- Yes.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Will you work as a good team?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57We've been a good team for the last 30 years.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK, now the money moment. You get 300 smackers each.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You know the rules. Your experts await
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Good Lord, we're gonna have fun today! Oo-hoo!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Fighting through the crowds for the blues today
0:05:12 > 0:05:14is the knockout Kate Bliss.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18And preparing to head into battle for the reds,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20is Captain Jeremy Lamond.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So with £300 and three items to buy within the hour,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29teams, start your shopping!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Have you anything in mind? What's your tactic?
0:05:34 > 0:05:38We would like to get some silver.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Anything Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, that sort of style.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43We're interested in that.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I quite like the idea of a bronze. - A bronze, OK.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Something international - Oriental or Russian to get the internet buyers buzzing.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I love jewellery.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Ooh, a girl after my own heart!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- So you want to spend big, really. - Yes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58This is the place to spend big. There's lots of things to buy here.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I hope so.- Let's go!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Quick as a flash, the blues head to the arcade.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Meanwhile, our reds are to be found trawling the streets of west London.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11A little vase at the back. An inlaid vase.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13"Any item for a fiver"?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Surely you'll get them to spend more than that, Jeremy?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Of Middle Eastern design? What do you think?- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Enamelled white metal vase.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It is damaged.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Mm-hm.- It's being sold for a fiver.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But really, that's probably what it's worth.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Let's put that back.- It doesn't appeal to me at all.- No.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Now, what have the blues spotted?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35What about that?
0:06:35 > 0:06:40That's nice. You've spotted Art Nouveau straightaway.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42He's got an eye. Look at that.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Lovely sort of curvy linear.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47And these lovely stylised leaves here.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I think that's lovely. Obviously jug and bowl.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Probably sugar and cream. - Sugar and cream, possibly, yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Sugar.- Exactly. But it is silver plate rather than silver.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- I'm not sure whether those are original.- Ah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Do you see how they're not very snug?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- OK.- The fit isn't very tight in there.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- And the style of them, also... - Different.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14..is at odds with the stand.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15The stand is really Art Nouveau.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- And really quite plain jug and bowl. - What a pity.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I think there's something going on there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- I think it might be a marriage. - Marriage. Marriage!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Maybe steer clear.- OK.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Do you want to pop it back?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Let's keep going. There's lots to look at.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32What have the reds found?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- A button set.- There's a button set. Have a look at that.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40A button set.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Any age there?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47That's a bit different, isn't it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- This is a set of seven, yes?- Yep.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Firmin. It's a good firm that's made them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58How much do you think they're worth?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59At auction...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02..15 to £20.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Work your Italian magic, Roberta!
0:08:06 > 0:08:11What about £10? Can you give it to us for £10?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- VENDOR:- £10? No. I sell at £4 each. I have sold stuff already.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I can do 25.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18No, that's a bit too high.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's got a two in front of it. That's not bad.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Yeah.- You're getting a lot for... - What about £15?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Like your style, girl!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Can you lower it to £15? - 18 is the bottom.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29- Yes. Do it.- OK, 18, then. OK.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Yeah.- Thanks.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Thank you, sir.- Thank you!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36That's the first item bought within the first ten minutes.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Well done, reds. But what about the blues?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Kate, will you have a look at this?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44What have you spotted, Rob?
0:08:44 > 0:08:45This little thing down here, Kate.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Oh, that is lovely! That little pendant?- Pendant, yes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Very Art Nouveau. We need a closer look at that.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Is it all right if we have a look at that pendant?- Yeah!- Lovely.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59OK, let's just carefully get that out.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- What do you think?- I think it's really pretty, Kate.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- It's just the sort of thing that... - Have a look at the back.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Sterling.- Yep, that's it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Which tells us... Let's have a little look.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13We've got "sterling" on the back,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16which tells us the grade of silver.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It's 92.5 parts of silver per 100.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's not English hallmarked.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So just got the sterling mark,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28which may mean that it's American, possibly.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31What you've got here is enamelling
0:09:31 > 0:09:35with that beautiful Art Nouveau lady's face.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- How much is your pendant, please? - That would be 85.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- 85.- What would be your best price?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I can do 80 for that.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's it.- OK.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51It ticks all the boxes. It's Art Nouveau. You obviously spotted it and thought, "Wow!
0:09:51 > 0:09:52"That's something I like."
0:09:52 > 0:09:55There's a good chance that somebody at auction will do the same.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01I think if we said 70, but at worst met in the middle at 75,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- it wouldn't be too bad.- OK.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- I think it's a really nice thing. - Yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- Shall we try it?- How much?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Who's going to negotiate?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11He's walking away. Quick, go and chase him, Bob.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14We like it very much. Would you accept 70 for it?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Today.- 70, first sale of the day.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- VENDOR: No, it's about my eighth sale!- Oh, well!- Go on, then.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- 70? That's fantastic! - Thank you very much.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Lovely. Well done. Brilliant.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Hot on the heels of the reds,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29the blues now have their first item in the bag as well.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's one-all!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- It's different.- What do you think of this vase?
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Do you think they'd sell it for five pounds?- No, they wouldn't!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42You're not in Rome now, Roberta!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45But it seems all roads today lead to Japanese vases.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Good quality vase. Look at the decoration on it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- And look at the workmanship. - How old?
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Those are about 1900, 1910, that sort of period.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- There's a crack in the top of that one.- Yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- You can see that.- There's no money in those in any condition?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- In this sort of condition? - It depends on the price. It really does.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I would think at auction, with a crack in the other one,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11you're looking at 50 to 70 at auction.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Oh, no.- It depends on the price.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Sir, how much for the pair of Japanese vases?
0:11:17 > 0:11:22- They're 85, but there is one that's got a hairline.- It's damaged.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- The very best on them would be 70. - What about £40?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And 90, ma'am. 90!
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- No, because it's damaged. - He's going the other way, now.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33OK. £45.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Because there's damage.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I mean, if it was perfectly...preserved...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Mamma mia! She's got a flair for hard haggling, this Roberta!
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Come on. Come on!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I can't go that low on them.
0:11:46 > 0:11:4965, sir, and we'll take them and leave you alone.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Come on!
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- Give me your hand.- Go on, then!
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Thank you very much, sir. Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Stupendo, reds!
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Item number two is in the bag. We're now 20 minutes into the shop.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08£70 down.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09230 to go.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Let's move on up the road.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14How do you feel about the money? Are you up got blowing the lot
0:12:14 > 0:12:16or will you be conservative about it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I've always promised myself that we should blow the lot.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Really, Bob? He's a good spender?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Actually, I'm the good spender!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26But this time, he said, "It's not our money - spend the lot!"
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Right, then. Let's crack on!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Fur coats, probably not!- No!
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Can you see anything here? There's lots of sporting things.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- What have you got there, chaps? - What's this? There's a lot of weight to it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Seems the reds have found the bronze they had on their shopping list.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I don't think it's very old, this one.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50So that's why.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- That's why it's quite high. The price is quite high.- Do you like it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57I like it, but because it's not that old, the price is quite high.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Si, si, si, we know! You just said that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06- What's that lovely lady? Art Deco? - Very much that kind of thing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10My word, this show is turning out to be bronze-tastic!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12She's rather lovely, isn't she?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Why have you spotted her, Trudi? What do you like about her?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I like the feminine shape.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Uh-huh.- And her posture.- Mm-hm.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- Risque.- Very risque!
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Cuts quite a dash, doesn't she?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Bob, you're smiling. I get the feeling you're keen on this.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I quite like her, actually, Kate.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Very much in the Art Deco style.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42She's been put on a pedestal base, which has nothing to do with her at all.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44She's just been placed on there.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48But I think the quality of her, the pose, is actually rather nice.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Obviously, she's not top, top quality,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53but she has a little bit about her.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Let's find out the price before we go any further.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- How much is your figurine? - It's 220.- Is it?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01£220!
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- It's quite a lot, isn't it? - It is a lot. In fact, it takes all our money bar a tenner.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08At auction, how much do you think she'd fetch?
0:14:10 > 0:14:15- As a bronze, I'd probably estimate her at a couple of hundred pounds. - OK.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16What's your rock bottom?
0:14:16 > 0:14:22Would you accept under the 200? Say 180? Just to take her off your hands?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I'd say 200, but I can do 195 for you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- 195. 180 and we'll take it.- 190.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Can we just split the difference with you and go at 185?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Uh, OK.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- OK. Great.- 185. He's done the deal for you.- Right. OK. Lovely.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Are you happy about that?- Yes!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43We've spent 70 already. Can you do the maths? How much have we got left?
0:14:43 > 0:14:44£45.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- 45. OK.- We'll have to be really careful with our next purchase. - No big spending.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Let's hope, young lady, that you bring us some luck.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Great. Item number two for the blues.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57These guys are spending big, and I like that.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02Now, it's two-all in the shopping stakes and time-wise we're halfway through.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13I think Roberta's haggling has something to do with her fiery Italian background.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17She's not going to be bullied at all or pushed into a corner.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21She won't take no for an answer in terms of buying
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and that's an asset, a real asset.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26What about these?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28These are quite nice.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32They're beautiful 9-carat gold continental teaspoons,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36silver gilt and enamel here.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39This sort of enamel is called guilloche enamel.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- It's foil backed.- Are they French?
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I think they are French, yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- They've got 925 import marks on them.- OK.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Roberta is our ace negotiator.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54I'm going to hand these to Roberta to continue with you, sir.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Watch out. Are you ready for this?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59What about, sir, if we offer you £80?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- £150.- 150?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05What about 120?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08That's really, we're stretching...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Please, 120 and it's a done deal. - 120.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You are clever. You know how to lower the price.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- You are good.- No lower any more.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- 140. Let's make the deal 140. - Otherwise, we'll have to walk away.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24We'll have to walk away and it's a shame.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Wow, these Italians!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Come on! We are here now. 140.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Boss man won't take it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33She doesn't look too happy.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35That's the face of Roman disappointment.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44With ten minutes of shopping time left,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Bob has spotted another potential buy.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49It looks like it might be hammered silver.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52A pill box. Let's have a look.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Yes, we've got a mark going on there.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59It is a Birmingham hallmark.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Roughly 19... Very early part of the 20th century.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07With that hammered lid, which also, interestingly enough,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08has the same date letter.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- So we know they've always belonged together.- Together.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Which is very neat.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15You know, I like that.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- So how much is it? Do we know? - No. Shall I find out?
0:17:18 > 0:17:22Yes, go and find the stallholder and come and tell us.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Do you like?- Yes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25It's a little bit dented here.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Just on the corner there, just a wee bit.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- Yes.- You're right, when you look at it sideways on. But nothing too much to worry about.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34It's £35, Kate.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- Within our budget. - Within our budget, yes.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42I think if you could get that for 25, that would be great.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Shall we...- Negotiate?
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- See if we can negotiate. - You're in charge, Bob.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Go and see what they'll do.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Yes, off you go. Try the Italian technique!
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Whilst he tries to get the price down, the reds have their hands on something new.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- What do you think? - I think they're absolutely... - They are what they are.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yeah. Coasters. These are bang up to date.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- 925.- Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- Nothing wrong with them.- In auction, 80 to 120, something like that. - Really?- Yes.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10What's the price on these, sir?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- 130 for the pair. - If you could get them for 100.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18What about 80, 90, 95?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- VENDOR:- 120 is it.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26120.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28You've a better chance at 120
0:18:28 > 0:18:30than 150 with the spoons.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33They'll have to make their minds up, won't they?
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Now, what news of the blues?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37OK, Kate, I've had a chat and got it down to £30.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41OK. I think that's fair. It's knocked a bit off for us.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Yes. I think the biggest thing, as far as I can see,
0:18:44 > 0:18:46it's silver, it's £30
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- and it least it leaves you with 15 to try and do something for us. - Sorry!
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- And we're pretty tight on time. - We're tight on time, yes.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- So we'll go with it?- Yes.- Yes. - Fantastic.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- So all three items in the bag. - Great.- Well done.- Well done.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Thank you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Yes, well done, blues. Thank you.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08The reds now need to make a decision.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Look at Roberta!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Let's have a vote. Spoons or coasters?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Where does your vote go?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Coasters.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18OK. OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Coasters.- OK.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25- Are you spoons?- No, it's OK. I don't mind. I don't mind.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Coasters it is.- Let's go for it.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- Yes.- Yes.- All three.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- We got the three items.- We've done it. It's a wrap, yeah?
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Happy?- Yep.- Yes, happy.- Well done.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Right. Time to stop the shopping. Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought, eh?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43They quickly fastened on to this set of British regimental buttons
0:19:43 > 0:19:45and snapped them up for £18.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Then they doled out £65 on this pair of Japanese vases.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And for the pair of contemporary silver coasters,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57they handed over £120.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Yes, I really enjoyed it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- You're looking terribly pleased with yourselves!- We are very pleased.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You are a-very pleased!
0:20:05 > 0:20:09We spent £203. We've got £97 left.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Ooh.- So, you know. - Who's got the £97, then?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- I've got them here.- Have you?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Oh, look at that.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- Roberta, you're good at all of this, aren't you?- Yes.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You're good at the maths. You're good at passing over money.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Which is your favourite piece, Roberta?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- The two Japanese vases. - They're your favourites.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- Yes.- Do you agree with that, Tom? - Likewise.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34You do. Very sensible. That's the first lesson in a relationship, always to agree!
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- Will they bring the biggest profit? - I think so.- You do?- I think so.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Do you agree, Tom?- The military buttons, possibly.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Might do better? We've got a slight split decision there. There we go.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51The most important thing is to give £97 of leftover lolly to the maestro.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- Thank you.- What are you going to do with that, old fruit?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Buy something smaller than usual.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Are you?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- You're a bit of a tease, quietly, Jeremy.- Maybe Italian.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Maybe Italian!
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- This is getting more and more interesting.- Mamma mia!
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Mamma mia! Don't get too carried away, now! Anyway,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blue team bought, eh?
0:21:13 > 0:21:18£70 was lavished on this Art Nouveau silver and enamel pendant.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Then they chose this Art Deco bronze figurine
0:21:21 > 0:21:24for a statuesque £185.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29And finally, £30 was popped on this Arts & Crafts silver pill box.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You've had a riot, haven't you?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35What was the best bit for you, darling?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37For me, it was the lovely bronze.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40That's your favourite piece? What about you, Robert?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'm the same, Tim. I really like the bronze.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Maybe it'll be the pendant.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- How much did you spend all round? - £185.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- 180... 180?- £285!- £285!- 285, yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So 285. I'd like £15 of leftover lolly.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- This is a paltry amount... - Paltry amount.- ..to give to poor Kate Bliss.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04This is central London, one of the most expensive markets in Britain,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07and we're giving her £15! Poor wee girlie!
0:22:07 > 0:22:08What are you going to do with that?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I'd love to follow suit and stay with the Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau theme.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Whether I can for £15 or not is another thing.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- That's really tough. - I'll do my best.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20May your god go with you. And you, team, too.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Because we're heading off to the heartlands of Surrey.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26We're going to Clandon Park and it's really beautiful.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Isn't this beautiful?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Can you imagine a more sophisticated elevation
0:22:46 > 0:22:52for a very polished and extremely well finished mansion house
0:22:52 > 0:22:56that at the top of the slope contrasts dramatically
0:22:56 > 0:22:58with this structure
0:22:58 > 0:23:02which has to be said is incredibly rough.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05It's rough in terms of its construction.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10The gable top here is coped with igneous volcanic rock,
0:23:10 > 0:23:16a rock that's been imported to Surrey deliberately to create this effect.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21All the sections of the elevation have more igneous rock
0:23:21 > 0:23:24but mixed with it are napped flints.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29But not napped smoothly, as in an ordinary structure,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32but napped so they create the roughest effect.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36That continues inside the grotto
0:23:36 > 0:23:41with a domed roof and an odd-ball plunge pool at the back.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Constructed in the 1740s,
0:23:44 > 0:23:50this grotto once contained the most spectacular object.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59I can't tell you what a thrill it is
0:23:59 > 0:24:02to get up all close and personal
0:24:02 > 0:24:03with these girls.
0:24:03 > 0:24:10If there's one truly extraordinary piece of neo-classical sculpture in the world,
0:24:10 > 0:24:15it is Antonio Canova's Three Graces.
0:24:15 > 0:24:20There are only two autographed extant marble sculptures
0:24:20 > 0:24:22by Canova in the world.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26One is in Russia, at The Hermitage.
0:24:26 > 0:24:33The other now is at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museum and Galleries of Scotland.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37This cast, in plaster, is extremely rare.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42The plaster-casting process could potentially damage the original marble.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44So it simply didn't happen.
0:24:44 > 0:24:50And nobody quite knows how this example finished up in that grotto
0:24:50 > 0:24:52here at Clandon Park.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55But of what we are certain
0:24:55 > 0:24:58is that by the time the thing was removed for restoration,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01it was in a shocking state.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05This leg, for example, was practically non-existent,
0:25:05 > 0:25:10simply the iron bar or armature existed in the centre.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15All three heads for all three girls had disappeared.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20But gradually, the restorers, the City and Guilds School in London,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24have been able to recreate the original.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29The three girls are called Youth, Mirth and Elegance.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Which one do you fancy?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I think I'd go off with Mirth.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Of course, the big question today is,
0:25:37 > 0:25:41is there going to be a lot of mirth swilling around for our teams
0:25:41 > 0:25:43over at the auction?
0:25:55 > 0:26:00Well, we've popped across town to Criterion Auctions, Wandsworth.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Addison, good morning.- Good morning, Tim. How are you?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Not bad, thank you.- Good. - This is going to be your big test.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Can you buy in Portobello and sell south of the river
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- and make a profit?- We shall see. We shall see!- We sure will!
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Here we are, snugged under the flight path,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19lots of lovely aeroplanes bringing hopefully the bidders into town.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Shipping them in right now, sir. - Exactly right.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23First up are the regimental buttons.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Now, tell me what you can tell me about those?
0:26:26 > 0:26:31They're from a firm called Firmin which are based on The Strand.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37They were around since 1811 through to about 1875. They had two factories.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38One in Birmingham, one in London.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Obviously they manufactured a lot of these
0:26:41 > 0:26:44because of the amount of service people that have gone through over the years.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48They've been looked after beautifully. They look mint.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- What's your estimate?- 20 to 30.
0:26:50 > 0:26:5420 to £30. OK. £18 was paid.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- That's OK.- You're on the internet, aren't you?
0:26:56 > 0:27:01We're on the internet. I'm hoping we get some collectors on the internet looking for buttons and militaria
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- and hopefully they'll fly. - Good. Right.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Next up are the pair of Japanese vases.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- I guess, Addison, you see a lot of these going through?- We do.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The Chinese market is very strong
0:27:12 > 0:27:14but the Japanese market is not as strong.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16They're beautifully decorated.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Turn of the century, I'd say, sort of 1910,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21approximately, I'd say.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25But good figural decoration and very decorative.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- What's your estimate? - I put 80 to 100 on it.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I'm hoping it'll do over 100, but 80 should suck them in.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- OK. £65 paid, so that's pretty good, too.- They've done very well.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39We've got two spectacular estimates on both of those.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Now, the modern, but solid silver coasters.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Aren't they smart? - They're beautiful.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50They're very commercial because everybody likes to have a dinner party once in a blue moon.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Great to put your wine in there. And as it's the Jubilee year,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56this is when Queen Elizabeth came to reign.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- So 1952 is the hallmark.- Exactly. - Brilliant. What's the estimate?
0:28:00 > 0:28:05Attractively again, I put 60 to 80 on them. They could do 80 to 100.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08OK. They need to do £120. If all else fails,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10they can fall back on their bonus buy.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12So let's go and have a look at it!
0:28:13 > 0:28:19Roberta, Tom, you spent £203, which was a magnificent effort, I have to say.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23That gave the man £97. Jeremy, what did you spend it on?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Well, Tim, I spent almost all of it,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and they say small is beautiful, so I'm hoping that's correct.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Ooh!- Do you like that?- It's so nice!
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I think she likes it! - Very interesting.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39This is a little micro-mosaic glass frame.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Sort of thing that was made in Murano, and also in France.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44It's about 1900 in date.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48You get the photograph free. I think it's a beautiful object.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Would it be Italian, do you think?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It might be Italian. It might be.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Is that likely to have an appeal? - That might swing it.- Yes!
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- I thought of you when I bought it. - Oh, thank you!- Such a smoothie, that Jeremy!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Anyway, £85.
0:29:02 > 0:29:0485. So you spent the lot, almost.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Almost the lot. Just enough for a sandwich.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10What do you think? In Wandsworth...
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Well, in Wandsworth we may get £165.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18You heard the man tell you. It's up to you.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21At the moment, whether you need to take it or not remains to be seen.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23But for the audience at home,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about J's frame.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30OK, Addison. How do you rate her?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Pretty, ain't she?- She's beautiful.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36A little micro-mosaic enamelling. It's very pretty.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Edwardian, really.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I love the mosaic and the flowers and everything
0:29:41 > 0:29:44but it's not as fabulous as it could be, I don't think.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46What's your estimate?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I put on that, I think, 30 to 40.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Is that all? That won't please Jeremy!
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- He paid £85.- Oh, dear.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Maybe the team won't go with it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Depends if they make some profit or not.- It does.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Now, that's it for the reds. Now for the blues.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03And for something completely different,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05how about the enamelled pendant?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07An enamel pendant. It's very pretty.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It is a pretty thing. Art Nouveau in look
0:30:09 > 0:30:13and a nice decorative present for somebody, possibly,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- rather than a collector, I would say.- Mm-hm.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18So stamped sterling - it might be American?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Yes, I think it could be American, actually.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23It's got a beautiful case.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Nice velvet case, and everything to go with it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29So I'm hoping people will buy it as a present for their mother or wife or partner.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35- How much?- I put on that sort of 20 to 40, really.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- OK. Fine. £70 paid.- Ooh!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39That's not so hot, really.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Now, the bronze coquettish figure.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Very Art Deco. Art Deco is very in at the moment.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49It's a beautiful piece. It's got some good age to it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52The base is a little bit tired, I have to say.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55If it was signed, I'd be a bit more excited about it,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59but as a beautiful piece I'd say 80 to 120
0:30:59 > 0:31:01and hope we do over 100. What did they pay?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03£185.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- They've obviously fallen in love with the form and paid the money for it.- Fair enough.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Now, lastly, is the little pill box,
0:31:10 > 0:31:16which is planished silver and I think hallmarked Birmingham 1900.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Yes.- Do you make it that? - Yes, we had a look at it. It's Birmingham 1900.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25I think it's just a pretty little silver pill box.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Very collectable and if there are any collectors of pill boxes
0:31:29 > 0:31:30it should go well.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33I've put 30 to 40 on it and hopefully it will do around that.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36They paid a massive £30.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37I think we'll be all right with that one.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40The black hole is that bronze figure.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Frankly, they'll need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48£15 is all you gave poor Kate.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Anyway.- Oh, oh, I feel so bad about it!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Don't feel sorry for her, she knows what she's up to!
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Kate, what did you spend your £15 on?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, I tried to kill two birds with one stone with this item.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Because it is quite a feminine item.
0:32:05 > 0:32:11Obviously it's a little purse for a lady to carry her essentials in.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15It dates from about 1900 to, I would say, about 1920.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19But as you can see, it's very Art Nouveau in shape.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21This lovely curved linear shape
0:32:21 > 0:32:23is typical for the Art Nouveau period.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Which I know Robert is very fond of.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28So I've tried to go for Art Nouveau for you
0:32:28 > 0:32:31and I've tried to go for the feminine for Trudi.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32I think you've done a great thing, Kate.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I'm amazed that you managed to find this in Portobello Road.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- I'm really impressed.- I hunted high and low, I can tell you.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41It's not a lot of money, £15, down there.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45I'm amazed. It's really good. You've done extremely well.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It's classic Art Nouveau.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- You like?- Yeah, I really like it. - Good.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Oh, gosh. It takes my breath away. It's lovely.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- And it's made of?- It's silver plate rather than silver.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58If you look just inside,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01there are some little marks there
0:33:01 > 0:33:04which look as if they could be a hallmark but I have to say they're not.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08They're EPNS, electro-plated nickel silver.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11So it is silver-plated rather than silver.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15It probably would have had a little silk lining once upon a time.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20- It's lovely.- Kate, I know you didn't pay more than £15, cos that's all we left you.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I blew the lot. It was 15 on the nail.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Well, I'm amazed.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- I actually think it's worth more than that. What do you think it's worth?- You're very ingenious.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36- I think that ought to make 15 to 25? - Yes.- Yes.- Somewhere in that region, I'd say.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Trudi, you don't have to make up your mind now, no.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43You'll make up your mind after the sale of your first three items.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45But for the audience at home,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's little purse.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52There you go, Addison. Something for you to go tripping out with!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Very fetching.- Take your arm, ducky?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56How do you feel about it?
0:33:56 > 0:34:00It's a nice Art Nouveau silver-plated purse.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's got some nice etching and it's pretty.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06But I wouldn't put huge value on it. I'd put about 30 to 40.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- Really, as much as that? 30 to 40? - What did they pay?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Well, Kate paid £15.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14She'll be delighted with the 30 to £40 estimate.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17But I see these things going through in silver
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and they make, 60, 80, £90.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24But that plated job, all the plate's rubbed off it, hasn't it?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27I has indeed. It does need a re-dipping, I think.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29But I'm still hopeful it can do £30.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32It's lovely to see you so optimistic, Addison!
0:34:32 > 0:34:33- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35All will be revealed in a moment.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Roberta, Tom, Jeremy. How are you feeling?
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- Excited.- Are you?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54How excited are you, Roberta, on the excited scale?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Ten.- Are you? You're up there, then.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Very.- What about you, Tom?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Cool, at the moment.- Cool? - Getting warmer.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07But the thing is, if you're taking these smart jets on and off,
0:35:07 > 0:35:11and you've got these smooth operators, you're a cool cat, anyway!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Normally, yes.- Normally. Yes.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Anyway, first up are the buttons. Here they come.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Regimental buttons, probably Grenadier Regiment
0:35:18 > 0:35:21by Firmin of London from The Strand.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26I've got interest here at 12 and £15 with me. Any advance on 15?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28An advance on 15?
0:35:28 > 0:35:3018. 20. One more takes it, sir.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33With me at 20. 25 I'm out.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- In the room at 25. Any advance on 25? 28 comes next.- I like that.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Any advance on £25? Selling in the room now at £25.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44£25 is plus seven pounds. That is not to be sniffed at.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48OK? Right, now, the Japanese vases.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53A smart pair of Japanese vases from the Meiji period, 1869 to 1912.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Decorated with Samurai and Japanese motif.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I've got interest here at 25, 30 and five.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01With me a commission bid of £35.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Any advance on 35? 40. Five.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0550. Five.
0:36:05 > 0:36:1055 here. Any advance on 55? 60. Any advance on 60?
0:36:10 > 0:36:11- The lady at the back at 60. - We want more.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Any advance on 60?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Selling there to the lady at £60. - Oh, no.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Blast it. £60 she's got.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23OK. That's minus five pounds, so you're still plus two pounds.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27OK. Coaster or coaster?
0:36:27 > 0:36:32They're dated 1952, Jubilee year. Smart things indeed.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37I have interest here at 80, 90. A double-up bid. Start at £100.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Any advance on 100?
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Any advance on 100? Smart things indeed. Any advance on 100?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Go on! They must be at 110. There's somebody there.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- £110. In the room at 110. Any advance on 110?- I can't bear this!
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Any advance on 110? - This is terrible.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- 120, new bidder.- 120! Yes!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- It wiped its face.- 125 I'll take.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59At 120, then, with the gentleman there at 120. Selling at 120.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02He sold it at £120. You wiped its face.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04And you are £2 up!
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Oh.- So that's a pound each, all right?
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Look, to make a profit on this programme is an achievement and you've just made a profit!
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Of a pound each! How good is that?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Roberta doesn't look exactly bowled over by that.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- I'm not very.- You're not?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23But it is an achievement.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24- Yes.- It is, definitely.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28That is an achievement of medal-winning proportions!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30That is so cool.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Now, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Are you gonna stick and preserve the £2 that you've got?
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- We're going to stick. We're going to stay in black ink.- Yes.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Are you?- Yes.- You're not going to risk it?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- No, I want to stay in black ink. - Absolutely.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46We're going to sell the frame anyway. Here it comes.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51A very pretty French-frame micro-mosaic circa 1910.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Photograph framed. It's a smart, smart thing.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Beautifully done. 25, 28 with me. Any advance on 28?
0:37:56 > 0:38:01Any advance on 28? 30. Still here at 33 with me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03One more takes it, though.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Any advance on 33? I'm going to sell at 33.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07One more, it's yours. I will accept 35.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10But I'm going to go for £33 to commission.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16£33. Well, that's a sigh of relief, right, team?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19£33. Would have been a whopper loss.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22In fact, it would have been...
0:38:22 > 0:38:26A £52 loss. Minus £52. But you didn't go with it.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28You stuck to your guns.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31And you're £2 up, which could be a winning score.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Say not a word to the blues, all right?- I'll say nothing.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Are you confident in your goods, Trudi?
0:38:38 > 0:38:44- Not really?- Not really. - What about you, Robert?- I'll be going home with egg on my face!
0:38:44 > 0:38:47I think... I liked all our goods.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50But we bought with our heart and not with our head on one or two of them.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Any one that you wished you hadn't bought, Robert?
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- The bronze.- I'm very pleased we bought the bronze,
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- but I'm not sure it'll make a profit.- OK. Fine.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03The first item up is your silver and enamel sterling pendant.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04I've got interest here at 15,
0:39:04 > 0:39:0718 and 20 with me.
0:39:07 > 0:39:1022. 25. One more takes it. 28. I'm out.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Any advance on 28? Any advance on 28?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Oh, dear!- Selling at the back at £28.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Oh, no. I don't like the look of this.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- That's a shame.- £28. That's terrible.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24That's two shy of 30. That's £42 down the plug-hole!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Minus 42.- Yes.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- That's not kind, is it?- Not a good start, is it?- Dear, oh, dear.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- That's a real shame.- What about this bronze figure? Look out.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37A coquettish pose and head-piece on pedestal base.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41I've got interest here at 65 and 70 and five, with me.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43£75. Any advance on 75?
0:39:43 > 0:39:4580. Five.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4890. 100 on the internet now.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50£100 on the internet.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51110. Any advance on 110?
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Any advance on 110?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55120.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- At 120.- All on the internet.- 120.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Any advance on 120? The internet's money. At £120.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Fair and final warning at 120. Pretty thing.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Look out.- Last chance. Selling to the internet at 120.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- Ooh!- Ooh!
0:40:09 > 0:40:12£120. That's minus £65.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- That makes it...- 107.- 107. You've got your sharps on this, Doctor!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Nothing the matter with the maths! OK, darling. Here comes the pill box.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26I have interest here at 10, 12 and 15 on commission.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29And 20 now in the room. Any advance on 20? Smart thing.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Any advance on 20? Surely you won't stop at that?- Not doing well.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34At £20. Selling to the gentleman there.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3625 on the internet.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3930 now in the room. At £30 in the room.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Any advance on 30?- You paid 30.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Any advance on 30? Selling to you. Fair and final warning.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45In the room now at £30.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- Oh. Wiped its face.- Wiped its face.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50£30. No pain, no gain.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- No.- Now, minus 107 is where you're at.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Yes.- So, what are we going to do?
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Shall we go with Kate's purse of curvo-linear design?
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Yes.- Yes.- Yes.- I think so.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06- I think she performed a small miracle by buying that.- Yes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- We'll definitely go with it. - It was £15-worth.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Definitely going with it? - Yes.- Here it comes.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15I have 25. 28 with me. Any advance on 28?
0:41:15 > 0:41:1730.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- I'm out on 30. Any advance on 30? - Kate, you've doubled your money!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Any advance on 30? Selling to the gentleman seated at £30.
0:41:24 > 0:41:30You clever girl! £30 is plus 15. That's the way to do it, girl!
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- That's hammered you back to £92. - Yes.- £92.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Minus 92!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Oh, yes!
0:41:38 > 0:41:41I think I'm going to go and write a quick prescription out!
0:41:43 > 0:41:45But don't say a word to the reds.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well, this is the end of the story.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Have we been chatting at all? - No.- No.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- So neither of you have any idea what the scores are?- No.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Well, I have to reveal today
0:42:01 > 0:42:03there's been an absolute disaster for one team
0:42:03 > 0:42:05and that team are the blues.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Minus £92! That's a shocker, isn't it?
0:42:10 > 0:42:15The only silver lining had to be your purse, Kate.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Plus £15 profit on that. That was a nice touch.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21But the rest of it, dear, oh dear!
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- It wasn't so good, Rob, was it? - No, but we've enjoyed ourselves.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26We've enjoyed having you on the show
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- and we think you are phenomenal sports.- Thank you.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31It could have gone either way.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34But actually the reds haven't got that much to gloat about!
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Because they're only winning by two pounds.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Oh!
0:42:38 > 0:42:41They go home with a profit of two pounds.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- There you are, Roberta.- Thank you!
0:42:43 > 0:42:46You can give Tom one of those!
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And Jeremy gets nothing, I'm afraid!
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Have you had a good time, Roberta? - I really enjoyed it.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Thank you.- It was good fun, wasn't it?
0:42:55 > 0:42:56We loved having you on the show.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:42:59 > 0:43:00Yes!
