0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today we're in Horncastle in Lincolnshire,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10where for centuries horse dealers have come
0:00:10 > 0:00:14to trade their fillies and their stallions.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17So pop on your spurs, get in your saddle
0:00:17 > 0:00:20and let's go bargain hunting! Yes!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50In the 1530s, the people of Horncastle gathered together
0:00:50 > 0:00:52in a large dissenting crowd
0:00:52 > 0:00:55with a view to marching on Lincoln
0:00:55 > 0:01:00and challenging old Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It didn't take the king long to squash that particular rebellion.
0:01:03 > 0:01:08We hope today that we're not in for any similar trouble.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Coming up today, the Reds test Charles's nerve...
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- What have you seen so far you like, with about two minutes to go? - Only that mirror.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Quickly go and get it! How much?- 32. - Bring it over, quick!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25..whilst the Blues try and maintain harmony throughout.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Now I've said we'd make a big purchase, we'll make three small ones,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and then you would've won, like you always do.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36And prepare yourselves for a real shocker at auction.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40THEY CHEER She's done it!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Are they winding me up? Is this a joke?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's true! It's true!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55On the programme today we've got two teams of couples.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58For the Reds, we've got Michelle and North.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01For the Blues, we've got Patsy and Tony.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Now, Michelle, when did you first clap eyes on North?
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- I met him at a spiritualist church over tea and biscuits.- Did you? - I did.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Do you connect with the other side? - If you're lucky, yes. - If you're lucky.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- So, you don't get an automatic connection? - It's not like a telephone line.- No.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- And that's where you met.- It is. - That is a novel arrangement.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28It's not where I expected to meet somebody.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Michelle, you used to work with a lot of dummies.- I did! - Tell us about that.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37I used to work at the Motor Industry Research Association where we crashed a lot of cars.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Because I've always wondered, you get a really smooth, big old German expensive car,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and you genuinely drive that at 45 miles an hour into a brick wall, do you?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Yes.- Do you? How lovely is that?
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Now, North, Michelle has changed your life for the better.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, yes. Meeting her changed my life,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- but, er, I also changed my name. - Did you?- Yes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- As a result of your meeting? - Not as a result of our meeting, no,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05but I was in the process of it when I met her.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, what have you changed your name to and from?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I've changed my name to North Antony Thomas Joicey,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Thomas Joicey being my grandad on my dad's side, who was shot in the war,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20and North being a prevalent name in my mother's side of the family.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- It's certainly an unusual name. - It is, yes, indeed.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- You also collect pocketwatches. - I do.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I have a small collection, just seven pocketwatches at the moment,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so I'm always looking out for a bargain.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Another thing you two collect between you is allergies.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36We do, yes!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Tell us about your allergies. - I'm allergic to milk.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Michelle's allergic to everything apart from milk.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- So it works quite well. We have a full set.- Yes, we do.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49We don't want you to be allergic to making profit.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- I'm not allergic to making a profit. Definitely not! - We'll look forward to that.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Now, Blues, Tony, I'm surprised that you didn't get a slap
0:03:57 > 0:03:59the first time you went out with Patsy.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02If I was Patsy, I probably would've slapped me.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- What did you do? - The very first time I saw Patsy,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I was walking to the bus stop
0:04:08 > 0:04:11and there was a fine-looking lady stood there,
0:04:11 > 0:04:16but the thing that popped into my head first of all was how white her legs were.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21So I thought, in my infinite wisdom, I'd say, "Nice legs!"
0:04:21 > 0:04:24But it didn't go down so well. You didn't talk to me the first time.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Did you say "nice legs" or "white legs"?- Nice legs.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I don't see why that deserves a slap.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I can't tell you exact words that she used for me.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Your job, Toto, is all about inflation.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Yes.- But it's nothing to do with banks.- No, thankfully.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I'm a self-employed balloon decorator,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44and that involves setting up weddings and parties.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- All out of inflated materials. - Absolutely.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Sounds like fun to me. - It's a good job.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- Patsy, you've got a respectable job, haven't you?- I'd like to think so.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Non-inflationary.- No! Not at all.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I work for Northamptonshire Police.
0:04:58 > 0:05:04Because being in the police force and having one of your more gruesome interests
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- must make an interesting mix. - Indeed.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Because what else are you keen on? - I read a lot about the real-life murders.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I try to understand, erm,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18the complex of why somebody would do such an awful thing.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- And what about serial killers? Are you any good on those?- Yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- That's my top one.- Is it?- Yes.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What about collections, Patsy?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- It would be bottles.- Bottles?- Yes.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31My mum turned 80 this year,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34so I started off with her original baby's bottle.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38How many bottles have you got roughly? 20 or 200?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Not as much as 200 but more than 20.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43That's a very coy answer!
0:05:43 > 0:05:47I think you're going to have fun on the programme today. Here's your £300 apiece.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Off you go! Very good luck.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Serial killers, eh? Allergies, hey?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58We're going to have fun today!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00With two teams as flavoursome as these,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03we've ordered experts of a fine vintage
0:06:03 > 0:06:06to help them through each course of the show.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09For the Reds, we have a man with depth and body.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's the deeply fruity Charles Hanson.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17For the Blues, a man who's crisp, fresh and easy on the nose,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24OK, guys, here we are in Horncastle. Have you got a plan?
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I think, certainly, my plan is to make one big purchase
0:06:28 > 0:06:31and then just buy a couple more items that we like.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Tactics, Michelle?- Looking for something about £75 each.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38Don't want to spend too much or too little.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- So nothing specific?- No.- No?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- You're into the macabre, aren't you? - I am.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So I think we better move on before we end up dead in the water.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Your passion is pocketwatches. - Absolutely.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54But the only stopwatch that's really important is that one over there.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Let's go, quick.- Yay!
0:06:56 > 0:07:02Quite right, Charles. It's an hour that will fly by. Get those three items sharpish.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Here's our first shop - Drill Hall Antiques.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Wow. It's lovely.- Wow.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Look at the quality. Nicely spaced, isn't it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Gosh, yes.- Delicately posed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15This place has 70 dealers.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- It's a big collection of different people.- OK.
0:07:18 > 0:07:2270 dealers? You'll have this lot sewn up quick as a wink, eh, Blues?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24What are you looking for?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28I'm looking for something that I would like, that I personally...
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- That you'd put on the mantel or in a cabinet.- Exactly.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34I like the handbag but I'm not going to buy it!
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Here, you've got a mixture of different things.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43This is all very highbrow, sort of academic stuff, really.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- I think this is quite nice. I think that's unusual.- It is.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49You can see already it's got a chip on the outside of the lid.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- It has.- That's going to have an effect, obviously.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53That's put me off it now.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Yes! That's the whole thing about having to look at these things!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Exactly. Keep 'em peeled, Patsy and Tony.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03On the other side of town, Charles is putting the Red Team to the test.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07I'll test you. Which is the earliest blue and white plate?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- I'd say it was the one on the end. - I agree.- Right.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15That's 1800, that's 1880 and that one's around 1910.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18So it's the early blue and white which is more popular. £35.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Mental note, I think. - Mental note. Definitely.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Let's have a look.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28This photograph looks like it's got a bit of age behind it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- We're going to a farming type of place.- Oh, we are.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35It's got a lot of fun about it. You can see the foxing on the outside
0:08:35 > 0:08:37that you're talking 120 years old or something.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41The way I look at it is, because of how people look at old postcards,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44often old postcards were photographs that were printed up.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- What's the cost?- £20.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I like it.- Yes. Shall we see...? - Pluck it out.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- I quite like that.- I like it. - Yes?- Yes.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Shall we see if we can get a deal? - You can see if you can get a deal!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58OK. Let's have a word with the man.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It leaves you a lot to play with! - It does!
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Now I've said we'd make a big purchase, we'll make three small ones,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08and then you would've won, like you always do.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Go on, go and see what you can do! - Look at that,
0:09:11 > 0:09:15marital harmony from the off. This show should be sponsored by Relate.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- I've found a picture of this tractor.- Mm.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- What kind of deal can you do? - I think 15 would be the very best.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'll shake your hand at 12.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Meet me halfway.- £12.50?- £13.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Oh, it's an unlucky number. - 14 is best, then, isn't it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- £13?- Deal.- Thank you very much.
0:09:31 > 0:09:3513 might be unlucky but it's also rather paltry.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37What about that big spend, Tony?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41As for you, Reds, how are you holding together?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I like the owl bookends. - They're quite nice.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- They're good. - Yes. What's the price on these?
0:09:46 > 0:09:4998. It's a lot which, on a really good day,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51could make £100.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- On a bad day, it could make 40. - Right.- Yes.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Actually, these dogs are quite similar, as well.- They are.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59They look like they're almost made by the same person.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I think they're also Bavarian. They are period.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Scottie bookends. They're sweet, aren't they?- BOTH: They are.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I do like Scottie dogs. - They're quite heavy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I also think dogs are more popular. - Yes.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- There's a huge number of these little Scottie, small dog-lovers. - I like Scottie dogs.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Bearing in mind the owls were how much?- BOTH: 98.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- And these are how much?- 65.- 65.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- If I was a gambling man, I would bet on the dogs...- Yes.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- ..rather than the owls.- Right.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I think most people would agree, Charles.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Organised owl racing has never really taken off.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36I think we should see if we can get these.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Would you like to speak to the dealer?- Why not?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Do the job.- Chest out.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- I'll do my best!- Good luck!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- They're very nice.- They are.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50If he can buy them for 50, 55ish, they might have a chance.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Hi there. We're looking at these Scottie dog bookends.- OK.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57You've got 65 on them. What would be your absolute death?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Probably 55.- 55?- Can I go 50?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04No. Not really, no.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Do you like that sort of thing?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- It's not for us!- I know!
0:11:13 > 0:11:18But one of the things you should do is try and buy what you like.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23Yes, within reason, JP. Sometimes there's no accounting for taste on this show.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Let's buy one object and get ourselves moving. Hi!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Hiya.- What's the verdict? - His best is 55.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Really?- Yes. - That's still a good discount.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- What do you think? - I think it's worth a gamble. Let's go for it.- I think so.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Let's make a deal.- Let's do it. - Cool.- Brilliant.- Excellent.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Well done, Reds. But we're nearly halfway through the shop,
0:11:42 > 0:11:47so you're going to need to work like dogs to catch up and find your next two items.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50JP told the Blues to buy what they like,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- but he's gone very quiet now. - That's quite nice.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59When you look a bit closer, it's quite poorly made, isn't it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03I wouldn't say poorly made. It's a style that I personally...
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- OK.- The style...- The style.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- That's a no, then.- Yes.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Right, so don't forget, Blues, just buy what Jonathan likes!
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Move on! And the Reds are doing just that.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Here we are. 25 minutes to go, two items to find.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Let's go.- No problem.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Here we are.- OK. Wow.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- What a nice antique centre.- Indeed. - There's everything here.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Gosh, that North doesn't hang about! - They're £15.- Really? I like those.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- £15?- Yes.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- It says 15. Each or for the two? - They're 15 each.- That's 30 for two.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40They're quite decorative. They're probably Chinese or Korean.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44They're probably 1920s, '30s. They could even be later.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Such is the passion for all things Chinese,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51even decorative jars and covers can be worth buying.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's interesting they've got lids, because you see a lot without. - Absolutely.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- Are they the original lids?- They're quite crude, but they're decorative.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01They're a pair, as well.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Worth thinking about, maybe.- OK. - We'll keep an eye on them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Keen not to get left behind, the Blues think it's time to move on, too.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Time is ticking. Only 20 minutes left.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14You lead the way.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Now it's JP who's quick off the mark,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and it's right up Patsy's alley.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21There's a mixture of stuff up here in the cabinets.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24What I wanted to find was over here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Now...- It's a bottle.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- It's a bottle and, if I'm right, you're a bottle collector.- Yes.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Essentially, this shape is what they call an onion shape.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36It's a typical 17th-century shape.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- But the price is £198.- Mm-hm. - It's a lot of money.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- You wanted to spend big, Tony. - You can get £1,000 for a rare bottle.
0:13:44 > 0:13:50I'm not suggesting for a minute that that is. What I'm saying is, it's academic, it's very old
0:13:50 > 0:13:52and it's quite rare.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- That's why I like it.- I love it. - Well, that's a good start.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- It's ephemeral. This sort of stuff gets thrown away. - Look at all the scratches on it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I think we should see if we can negotiate a good deal on it. - If you like it...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- BOTH: I like it.- Right.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- James, thank you.- OK.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I'm wafting this under their nose because I know Patsy's a bottle collector.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- The million-dollar question is, what will you do on it?- 160.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- That's not bad going, is it - 198 to 160?- Yes. I'm happy with that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Let's shake on that. - I'll give it to Jonathan.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25ALL: Thank you.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27It's a great finish -
0:14:27 > 0:14:31a much chunkier spend and everyone's happy. Well done, Blues.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34The Reds, meanwhile, are still hunting for item two.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36That's nice, but it's 420! Gorgeous object!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- They won't find it at that price. - You could always make an offer...
0:14:40 > 0:14:45We are just running out of time now. There's some good things over here.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Come on, teams, ten minutes. Get exploring.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50What did we see downstairs?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Those biscuit barrels I really liked.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Right, we've somehow found the book section with ten minutes to go.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07- So we need to... We need to go back this way.- And panic.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10As tension sets in, Michelle is looking back.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I like the two biscuit barrels that we saw for £15 each.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- I think we should go for those. - The blue and white jars?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- They were the nice ones, weren't they?- BOTH: Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Let's try and get two for 20. - Two for 20.- That could be an option. - I think so.- I reckon so.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29Why don't you guys go downstairs, see what you could buy them for?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I think they're Chinese.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33They're probably no more than 30 or 40 years old,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35but they're decorative.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- I got my way with the big spend. - It's my item that I like.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47I still like the fact that we've spent a lot of money.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51We've got £127 left, so what do we do now?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Do we spend as much as we can to make it difficult for Jonathan?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I think they are focused. I think they will buy something and, hopefully, very quickly, too.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01We're running out of time, teams.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Seven minutes and counting.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Hi. We really like both of these vases.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10They're £15 each. Can you do two for 20.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- That should be fine, yes. - Fantastic. OK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Do you want to go for them? - We'll take them.- We'll take them. Thanks very much.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Thank you!- Thank you. - Well done, Reds.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Now, get to that final item, quick!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25The Blues are doing just that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- I like the owl bookends.- OK.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33Do you ever get the feeling that you've been somewhere before? Five minutes, please...
0:16:33 > 0:16:37There was something here, which is a Victorian spice grinder.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40You don't see one of these every day.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Do you want to have a look?- Yes. - Dive in there. There we go.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Well, it's a bit of fun. A bit of steel and brass.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Do you think it's still useable or just decorative?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Decorative. I don't know where you'd put your stuff in.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- In many respects, it's sort of like peppercorns.- Mm. - Which is a spice, after all.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02But you'd have to slice it, chop it or whatever it might be, and drop it in.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05But its mechanism is not unlike a pepper grinder.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10This has the right sort of feel for the first half of the 19th century.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- It's got some writing on the side. - It says, "Haci Artin.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16"One guaranteed..."
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Presumably, it's some sort of weights and measures-type mark. I've no idea.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24It'd be nice to go for an unusual one, because we've gone for something that we both liked,
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- whereas this is something... catchy. - Yes.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- What do you think?- I think we've got four minutes left.- BOTH: OK.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- I think it's quite a nice thing. And it still leaves you a little bit of money.- It does.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Don't worry about his money!
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oh, listen to her!
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Hello there. Oh, that's nice. - Have a look.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- OK.- We're not too sure how it works, mind you.- Er...!
0:17:49 > 0:17:51We like it. We think it's unusual.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54The best I can do on that is 42.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- OK.- Yes. - What do you think, Jonathan?
0:17:58 > 0:18:03- We've got three minutes left. You've got to buy three items. - We're going to have to do a deal.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- Yes.- That's super. Thank you. - It's a nice item. It is.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08ALL: Thank you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Well, that's it. Job done, everybody. BOTH: Thank you.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14More importantly, it a nice third item.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Well done, Blues. Now, Reds, please tell me you've found something!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- What's the news?- We got two for 20. - That's really, really great.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27I love this dish. Whilst you've been down there, I've been pondering this!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- We've got two minutes to go, OK. - All right, mate.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Let's get this cabinet open. As quick as you can be.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Great. It's a bit tired. What a shame.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- It's got a few holes in. Can you see? - It has.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It's been well rubbed.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oh, no! It's not what they'd hoped for.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48But if you will put all your bonbons in one dish...
0:18:48 > 0:18:50There ought to be some hallmarks, as well.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Where are they? Quick.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Just there, look. Maker "JC",
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Birmingham, with a date letter "C"... - Oh, yes!
0:18:57 > 0:18:59..and the lion, so we know it's sterling silver.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That date code is about 1905, 1910.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- Where were you then? - Er, I wasn't around!- No? Oh, OK! - Neither was I then!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's a real antique. Priced at £56.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- What's the best price on that?- 50's the best.- No less?- No less.- Mate...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- No less?- 45 for cash.- 45, mate, hey? Would you take £40?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Go on. - Ooh, he's a trier, that Hanson!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- Shall we?- That's a dilemma.- Can do.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- What have you seen so far you like, with about two minutes to go? - Only that mirror.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- The mirror...?- The black mirror.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Go get the mirror. - You've got seconds left, Reds.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- How much?- 32.- Bring it over, quick! - It's £43.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- What do we like more?- I prefer the real Edwardian antique silver.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Do you prefer the repro black frame? - The silver.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45I'm outnumbered.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Let's go for that.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52- For £40.. For £40, I love that. And I would be quite happy to say it might bring a wee profit.- Yes.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- At the 11th hour...- Let's do that. - Yes?- Yes.- Happy?- Yes.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Hooray! - We've done it! We've done it!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- Give him a hand, quick! Good man. - < Before I change my mind!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- I'll put this back! - I'd rather go with a real antique.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- That's a really, really pretty little Art Nouveau dish.- Yes.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- I think that's a bargain. - Well, that is the name of the game!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Well done, Reds. Talk about cutting it fine, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Goodness gracious! Is it that time already?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Let's remind ourselves what the Red Team bought, shall we?
0:20:23 > 0:20:28They got started with this pair of wooden Scottie dog bookends.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30£55 paid.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36They doubled up again with a pair of Chinese porcelain vases for £20.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Finally, they paid £40 for this silver bonbon tray,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44but only one of these.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Cor, you took that to the wire, didn't you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- BOTH: We did! - Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- How much did you spend altogether? - We spent £115 altogether.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- What, on all three items? - Yes.- On all three items.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- That's not so hot, is it?- No, but hopefully there's a profit in it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Well, that is the big point. It could be the correct strategy.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06£185 of leftover lolly, please, North.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- OK. I've got that. - Lovely. Thank you.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- There's an awful lot of money! - It's always a worry!- It is!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Goodness knows what you'll convert it into, Charles.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Something spiritual and something I can go home and dream about.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- This isn't an x-rated movie, is it? - No!
0:21:23 > 0:21:27OK, guys. That's fantastic. Relax up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue Team bought.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33They started off modestly with this old agricultural photograph
0:21:33 > 0:21:36which cost them £13.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38The next buy was a big one,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42the glass onion-shaped bottle cost £160.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Finally, this brass grinder set them back £42.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- That was close, wasn't it? It moved down to the wire.- It was! - We're not very decisive!
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Well, you did well.- Listen, who cares about being decisive
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- when you've got charm, charisma and character on your side?- True.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Hey, Toto?- I though he was talking about me for a second.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I was! Listen, Toto, how much did you spend?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- £215.- That is a magnificent amount of money, I want you to know that.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Who's got the leftover lolly? - That would be me.- Would it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- I wouldn't leave the money with Patsy.- Would you not?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20One of our girls in blue!
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Right, £85, then, JP. Have you got a challenge there?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Well, they looked at so many things. But I think I have something in mind.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31You're a cunning old fox. Have a cup of tea, relax up.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Meanwhile, we're going somewhere sublime. We're going to Birmingham.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47This is the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery,
0:22:47 > 0:22:52the largest local authority-run museum in England.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57The museum houses more than 500,000 exhibits,
0:22:57 > 0:23:00dating from between 200,000 years ago and the present day,
0:23:00 > 0:23:05with collections originating from all over the world.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09With so much on display, it would be easy to overlook
0:23:09 > 0:23:12the less well-adorned pieces,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16but that doesn't stop them being any the less interesting.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23This group of objects illustrates
0:23:23 > 0:23:26the chasm of difference that you can find
0:23:26 > 0:23:29in objects made of the same material.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32If we look at this drinking glass,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36it is typical of a type of glass made in Britain
0:23:36 > 0:23:39in about 1730 or so.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40It's a baluster wine glass.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44The baluster bit is this knop here in the middle.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Just look at the colour. It's grey in hue,
0:23:47 > 0:23:52which is exactly what early 18th-century British glass looks like,
0:23:52 > 0:23:57because it's got lead in the glass that gives it that special flinty appearance.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01And the counterpoint to that is this fellow,
0:24:01 > 0:24:06which is ridiculously over-decorated to some eyes.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10This is made here in Birmingham by a firm called John Walsh.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15It was made around about 1890 to 1900,
0:24:15 > 0:24:20the last gasp of Victoria's reign in the beginning of the Edwardian period.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25The way the cutting of the glass has happened is incredibly elaborate.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's a magnificent example,
0:24:27 > 0:24:31but completely different to the 18th-century drinking glass.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It's the same with these two fellows in the middle.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Can you believe that there's a connection between these two items,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42that the material used in this
0:24:42 > 0:24:45is in fact the same material as that?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49This tankard is extremely early and extremely rare.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54It was made in Saxony in about 1710
0:24:54 > 0:24:57by an alchemist, Bottger,
0:24:57 > 0:25:01who started off on the holy grail of making gold.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04But actually, along the way,
0:25:04 > 0:25:09he became the first person to produce true porcelain in Europe.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11If you pick this thing up, it's quite light.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14If you look inside, it's thinly potted.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18It has the characteristics of porcelain
0:25:18 > 0:25:21but it's been treated in a venerable way.
0:25:21 > 0:25:27If you look underneath the handle, they've even cut it like you would a piece of stone.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Can you believe that from that, within less than 50 years,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35porcelain-makers at Meissen
0:25:35 > 0:25:38were creating little figurines like this.
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Look what a fancy job Meissen have done in creating this thing -
0:25:44 > 0:25:45his very foppish presence,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49with a ridiculous yellow hat
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and puce-coloured feather,
0:25:51 > 0:25:56wearing beige knickerbockers with bright yellow ribbons.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01Overall, it's a tour de force in terms of porcelain modelling and enamelling,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04but it's basically the same material.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08The question is, will our contestants bring in grand profits
0:26:08 > 0:26:11or plain losses over at the auction?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12# Bonkers #
0:26:21 > 0:26:24We've driven for about an hour, roughly south,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29and we've come to Stamford, to Batemans Auction House to be with David Palmer.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- David, good morning to you.- Hello.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Now, the Reds...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Two Scottie dog bookends.- Fun. - Stylish.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- No. Fun.- Stylish.- No. Fun!
0:26:38 > 0:26:43- They scream 1930s, don't they? - Indeed they do. - Therefore, they're stylish.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Anyway, two old dogs like that, what are they worth?- £30 to £50.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48£55 paid.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Next are the Chinese porcelain ginger jars.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Do you rate these? - They're mildly decorative.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Other than that, I can't see much purpose for them.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58OK. What's your estimate?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- I think £20 to £30.- Great. £20 is all North spent on them.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Oh, well, they've done well.- Good.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Lastly, it's the bonbon dish. - Attractive, pierced, embossed,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12but again, almost as useless as the pots.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- What do you do with it? - Put your bonbons in it. - People don't, though, do they?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19I don't know. But, seriously, it's the thinnest piece of silver.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22There's no weight in it so the scrap value's minimal.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I guess as a decorative object, £30 to £50.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, that's great because they only paid 40.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33They didn't pay much, so I think they've done pretty well.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37And a wodge of leftover lolly has gone to Charles Hanson,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41so why don't we see what he's spent it on?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- So, Michelle my belle, North, how are you feeling?- Not too bad.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- I bet you want to know what he's got underneath that rag. - I'm excited to find out.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52You gave him £185. It'd better be good, Carlos.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56I was a bit demoralised. I couldn't find the really big thing to spend all the money on.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- I only spent £50.- OK.- Look at that. - BOTH: Ooh!- That's nice.- Wow.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Any ideas what's on the inside, North?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Er, no. It's not a tea caddy, is it?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- I'll show you. Take the lid for me. - Oh, wow!- I knew it was dominoes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11That is... Wow, it's really heavy.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16- The box is a lovely quality. It's almost a burnt yew.- They're awesome.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20These dominoes, I rate, Tim, because they are nice dominoes.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- That's really cool.- I think the box is probably 1880-ish in period.- OK.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29There are two sets. You've got a handled centrepiece which you can lift up.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Tim, they're just quite a novel little gaming box.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I really like that.- Really? - Yes, they're really cool.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- Do you like them?- I love dommies. I love dominoes anyway, yes.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I would happily estimate them to fetch,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45as a little group lot, between 60 and 80,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- and my heart is in them.- Excellent.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52I think it's this two-set business and the yew-wood box.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- I mean, if the auctioneer really sells that...- Mm.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59In fact, why don't we check out, for the audience at home,
0:28:59 > 0:29:04what he really feels about Charles's double domino set.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Well, well, well.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Does this remind you of your misspent youth?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12What, in a pub with 90-year-old northerners,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- sipping brown ale?! - That's it, playing dominoes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16- No, it doesn't.- OK, fine!
0:29:16 > 0:29:20How do you rate that? Will it sell? Do people buy domino sets?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think it will, but not necessarily for the dominoes.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28It's a nice box, a yew-wood box. A bit of polish, that could come up nicely.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- It's got a bit of potential. - All right. Lovely.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- Where does that potential take you, money-wise?- £20 to £40.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- £50 paid by The Carlos for that. - Ahh...
0:29:36 > 0:29:39He's paid enough, frankly.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45First up is the little period photograph of the tractor.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Fair enough if you collect tractors, you might want to hang it,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52but I don't think you'd beat a path to buy this particular one.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- How much do you think it'll bring? - What I really think, I can't say,
0:29:56 > 0:30:01- but perhaps five or ten pounds. - £13 paid, so not so far off.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Next is the onion-shaped wine bottle.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I love that. It's a good shape. Nice colour.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- How do you rate it?- £40 to £60.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Is that all? £160 they paid.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14We'll cross everything and hope for the best.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- Lastly is the coffee grinder. - Yes. Missing the top, isn't it?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Yes, I suppose it is. I'm not too hot on Turkish coffee grinders.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27I live near the airbases, and a lot of the Americans bring them back from their tours,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- so I don't think it's got any great age to it.- How much?
0:30:30 > 0:30:31£10 to £20.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34£42 paid. So they paid too much on that bottle.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39So, on that basis, they need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it!
0:30:39 > 0:30:41OK, Patsy, Toto, this is the moment.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44You spent £215. Perfectly magnificent.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46£85 went to JP. JP, what did you spend it on?
0:30:46 > 0:30:48£85 could've bought me quite a few things,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51but I just had to go for it...
0:30:54 > 0:30:59It's a tea cosy. This has the age. It's from the early part of the 20th century.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01It has the very soft... Have a stroke.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04"Whuhh!"
0:31:04 > 0:31:06But it's very soft and a great look on it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11- How old do you think it is? - '30s-ish. I wouldn't have thought it was a great deal older.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14No. Can I have a little feel? Pass it over.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Pats, have a feel. It's a lovely thing to hold.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- I really like it.- There's a lot of work in that, isn't there?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Tea doesn't taste the same unless it's in a pot.- And it's got to stew. - Exactly.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27So I think they're a necessity in life.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- I think you're a cocky fellow! - Thank you very much.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- I thought it was a little- cheep, - as well.- Oh, no!
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Not the joke, but actually that! I only paid, wait for it,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- £25.- Did you?- Oh, really? - I think that's really good.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I like it. Do you like it? - It's OK. How much will it sell for?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I think we might see £40, £50.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Really?- You could double your money, if they think it's- cheep.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Jonathan, where do you get this from?!- I don't know.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53On a happy note, why don't we find out
0:31:53 > 0:31:58how our auctioneer today feels about Jonathan's cosy?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Now, David, I don't want you being too cocky about this.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02This is so cool, isn't it?
0:32:02 > 0:32:07- You'd wear it!- It's the sort of thing my wife wears.- Does she? - Although she hasn't got a cockerel.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Whatever foul it may be,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- will it find favour in your saleroom?- I doubt it.- Oh.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16But I'd like to think
0:32:16 > 0:32:19- that it's going to make 20 to 40. - Fair enough.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- It should.- Jonathan paid 25.- Right. - He sees it as a double-yolker, so...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- Ahh! It's got a bit of age to it. - Oh, yes!- It's not recent.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- It's '30s, isn't it?- Yes.- Maybe.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33And in your capable hands, it could seriously take off.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I can't think of a pun to that!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Just take a sale, mate!
0:32:39 > 0:32:42..550. 580.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- Now, Belle, North, are you excited? - Very much.- Definitely.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49We're all excited big time.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Look at this place, it's packed out! Smashing job.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Your Scottie dogs...- Yep. - You paid £55 for those.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57The auctioneer hated them. He put 30 to 50.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59He's clearly got no taste.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Great auctioneer but no taste. Here they come.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05A pair of wooden bookends, circa 1930,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08carved as the head of Scottie dogs.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Interest in these, curiously enough. 20 I'm bid. 25. 28. 30.
0:33:12 > 0:33:1432. 35. 38. 40.
0:33:14 > 0:33:1845? 45. In the doorway at £45.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- More, more, more! One more! One more!- Sshh!
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Net at 55. Are you in at 60?
0:33:23 > 0:33:2655, the net. The net, then, at £55. Anybody else?
0:33:26 > 0:33:2860 on the net.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Yes!- You're in profit.- Unbelievable. - I love it. This internet...
0:33:32 > 0:33:37At £65. Goes at 65. Is that it at £65?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Well done, Michelle. You found them, darling. Plus £10.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43You have £10 profit without a wink. Now...
0:33:43 > 0:33:47A pair of Chinese blue-and-white ginger jars and covers.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Very decorative. 20 quid? 20 I'm bid. 20.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- Two. 25. 28. 30 now. 32. 35. 38. 40. Brilliant!- Look at this!
0:33:53 > 0:33:5640. 45. At 45. Here, then, at £45.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Take the 50. 55.- You're joking me? - Against you, madam, at 55.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Go 60. The lady now, at £60.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- All done at 60.- One more!
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- She's cracked it.- Yes! - Plus 40. Look at that.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13- You're £50 up with only two winks. - Now the silver bonbon dish,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17floral-pierced, Joseph Gloster of Birmingham, 1910.
0:34:17 > 0:34:2030 quid for it, the bonbon dish in silver.
0:34:20 > 0:34:2420 quid, then. 20 I'm bid there. At 20.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26At 20 now.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Take a two.- Come on. - 25. In the room at 25.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Net, 28? In the room, then, at £25.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Nice sell at £25. I don't believe it!- Come on!
0:34:34 > 0:34:37At 25. 28. 30.
0:34:37 > 0:34:4132. 35. Here at 35. I sell in the middle at 35.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- Yes! She's done it!- Come on!
0:34:44 > 0:34:46£40 now. I sell at 40.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49- 42! Go on!- Go on! - THEY CHEER
0:34:49 > 0:34:5448. 48, if you want. At 45. Goes, then, at 45.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- That was the Great Escape, wasn't it? - What a business.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59No-one else? I sell at 45.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- ALL: Yes! - That is plus £5. That is 50.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- You have made, overall, plus £55. - Oh, wow!
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Now, are you going to go with the dominoes?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- I want to stick with the profit. - You want to stick?- Yes, sorry.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- I think £50 is slightly too much. - I think they'll make more, but go on.
0:35:17 > 0:35:22- Are you running with Michelle? - I'll go with Michelle. Sorry. - No. Pleasure.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24- Ladies first. You're quite right. - Thank you.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- So, we're sticking?- Sticking. - We're not going with the bonus buy.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- We're going to sell them, anyway. - The set of Victorian bone and ebony dominoes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33There's a very nice yew-wood box.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35£20 for it? 20?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- 20. Tenner?- Oh, no.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Anybody? Ten? - Oh, no!- Ten bid on the net.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4410. 12. Down here at 12 now. Seated at 12. Take 15.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Net at 15. Do you want 18? Here at 18.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- Selling at £18.- Good decision, Michelle.- New bidder at 20.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5422. At 22.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5822, the bid's in the room. 23 off you. 23.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0025 on the net. 25. Do you want eight?
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Net, 25. Sell, then, with the net at £25.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Nobody else at 25?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Half-price, guys. I'm so sorry. - Minus 25.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- Well, you didn't go with it. - I just had an intuition.- Excellent.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- That's why you're a woman. - That's right.- That's perfect.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Don't say a scrap to those old Blues, all right?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- BOTH: No.- Keep it shut. - Don't spoil their day.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- We'll catch up with you guys later. Well done.- Nice one. - Congratulations.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30130. 140. 150.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38OK, Toto, Patsy, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- I haven't got a clue.- Good. We're pleased that you don't know.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47Even though you've got investigative skills, darling, even you don't know!
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Anyway, the photograph of the tractor, nobody knows much about that.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55He's put £5 to £10. You paid £13.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00- It should make a pound or two, shouldn't it?- I would hope so! - Here, in an agricultural area...
0:37:00 > 0:37:03It's the black-and-white photograph of the Overtime Tractor
0:37:03 > 0:37:07from the Power Farmer Collection of Veteran Tractors.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Let's start at a fiver. Five bid. Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Nine. Ten. 12. 15.- You're in profit.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- At 15, goes to the tractor fancier. - I told you it would do all right.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23It goes at £15. Anybody else? Done and finished at 15.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Plus two pounds. Good man, Well done.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- Steady.- It's a positive, though. - It's a positive. That's it. Now...
0:37:30 > 0:37:32The 18th-century glass wine bottle of onion shape.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35This is really rather nice. Got a bit of age to it.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36£30 for it. £30 for the bottle.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39An old bottle. 30 I'm bid down there. At 30.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44- He knows how valuable this is. - Come on.- A nice sell at 30. Two.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4635. 38.
0:37:46 > 0:37:4940. Room at 40. At 45.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- 50. Room at 50. 55. - There's a long way to go.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- On the net at 55. Done at 55, then. - He's drying out.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Is that 60?
0:38:00 > 0:38:0560. Back in the seat at 60. 65. Third comeback at 65.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- They know.- They know what they're after.- On the net at 65.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14- Oh, dear. 65 is minus 95. - We know there's more money in that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Look out, here comes the grinder.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20The grinder, made by the Artin Company.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24£10 for this. Tenner? £10 for the coffee grinder.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28You could scrap the brass for that, let alone the value of this item.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- 42.- 42! - Five pound, the coffee grinder.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Five I'm bid here. Five.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- In the room at five. - Oh, no! Five pounds!
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Is that it? Net, you can't not bid, surely!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42At five... All done at five.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43Oh...
0:38:43 > 0:38:48- Kids, minus 37...- I might have to go to the charity to get some cash.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50..is ten.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Is that minus 130? I think it could be.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- I think it's minus 130. - That's all right.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59What about the cockerel's head? Are we going to go with it?
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- BOTH: Yes. - Minus 130's not a good number. - No. I think we have to go for it.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06The decision is made. The die is cast.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10- We're getting out of the coop and we're going with the cockerel. - Big hopes for this one.- Big hopes!
0:39:10 > 0:39:14It's the plush tea cosy in the form of a cockerel's head.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20This is as cool as you can get. We have a cockerel from the 1930s.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Put him at a tenner. £10 for it. Tenner. 12. 15. Over there at 15.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28You look like the sort of bloke that would wear one of these, sir!
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- We're up to 32. 35. 38. 40. - On the internet!
0:39:31 > 0:39:3450. At 55. 60.
0:39:34 > 0:39:3865. 70. 75. 80.
0:39:38 > 0:39:44At 85. 90. 100. 110. 120.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- 140. 160.- No!- At 160.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50180. At 180. 200.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- At £200.- Is this a joke?- It's true!
0:39:53 > 0:39:54At £200. 220.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56No!
0:39:56 > 0:39:59Are you sure you're finished? No-one else coming in in the room?
0:39:59 > 0:40:04- 240.- Yes! 240!- At 240.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- Sell it at 240, then. 250.- Oh, yes! - At £250.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Anybody else? At 250.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15It is the most lovely cockerel's head I've ever seen.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18At 250, I sell then, at £250. No-one else in the room?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20That is unbelievable.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- THEY CHEER - The most extraordinary thing!
0:40:24 > 0:40:27£225 profit.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30£225 profit!
0:40:30 > 0:40:33Put it there, boy. That's why he's a genius.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- £225 - that is amazing. - That is amazing!
0:40:36 > 0:40:40You were £130 down the proverbial lavatory,
0:40:40 > 0:40:42you were sunk without a trace,
0:40:42 > 0:40:46but along comes JP with a tea cosy and you make £225 profit!
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Which means, overall,
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- you have made plus £95.- Whaa-hey!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55£95 from nowhere,
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- which is pretty good, isn't it? - That's amazing.- That is amazing.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02I think that is the most extraordinary profit
0:41:02 > 0:41:05that we have ever made on any object on this show.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07How many shows have I done? 800 of them?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I've never seen anything quite like that! That was unbelievable.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Let's say £100 to start.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21# You're unbelievable #
0:41:21 > 0:41:27Well, we do have sometimes extraordinary results for one team or the other on Bargain Hunt,
0:41:27 > 0:41:32but today we have an extraordinary result for both teams!
0:41:32 > 0:41:34This is really, really rare.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39We've got teams that are making serious profits on both sides,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41which is great.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44One team has made a profit on all three items
0:41:44 > 0:41:47and will get the Golden Gavel as a result!
0:41:47 > 0:41:50But they are not the winners.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52MICHELLE: Ohh!
0:41:52 > 0:41:56The runners-up today are the Reds...
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Wow!- ..with £55.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- Thank you.- There's your £55.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04And the runners-up, because they made a profit on every item,
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- get one of these jokers... - Excellent.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08..the Golden Gavel,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- the ancient and noble order of excellence.- Thank you.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- That's to go with your collection, Charles.- Wonderful. - You made a great team.- Absolutely.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Wonderful team.- Congratulations. - Really proud.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22To make £55 and get Golden Gavels and not win is extraordinary.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- The winners today go home with £95. - Ooh! Well done!- Yes!
0:42:27 > 0:42:33They don't deserve it, of course, because they made losses pretty well all the way through,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36until JP comes along with his tea cosy.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39Did he make £25 profit? No, he didn't.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- He made £225 profit... - You're joking?- Well done!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45..on a cockerel tea-caddy-cover job!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- That was amazing, wasn't it? - It was hilarious.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52That wiped out all your losses and took you back to £95-plus,
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- and now you've got the cash. - I have, thank you.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59- We had so much fun. Join us soon for some bargain hunting! Yes?- ALL: Yes!
