0:00:05 > 0:00:10In its time, this historic water-powered mill has been a bar,

0:00:10 > 0:00:14a nightclub, even a house of ill repute.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18But today, it's home to over 70 dealers, so let's hope

0:00:18 > 0:00:21there's an antique or two about

0:00:21 > 0:00:24because it's time to go bargain hunting! Yeah.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Bourne Mill in Farnham has a rich history dating

0:00:59 > 0:01:02all the way back to the Domesday Book.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Nowadays, though, it's been transformed into a labyrinth

0:01:05 > 0:01:07of small, winding rooms

0:01:07 > 0:01:10that are simply stuffed with stuff.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12So, are our teams today going to get lost

0:01:12 > 0:01:14or are they going to get lucky?

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Here's a quick peek at what's coming up.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19It's a day of bronze.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- And a lot of silver. - Good weight of silver in there.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24It's got a London hallmark here.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's not English standard sterling silver.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29But who will win gold? Let's meet the teams.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33Well, today on the show we have two pairs of pals.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36For the Reds, we've got Ben and Harry.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40And for the Blues, the girls, we've got Rachel and Gabby. Hello.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- ALL:- Hello.- Lovely to see you. What you could say, really,

0:01:43 > 0:01:48the entertainers versus the fitness fanatics. How about that?

0:01:48 > 0:01:53Now, guys, Ben, by night, you're a city DJ? Yes?

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Very tiring, that disco work.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Yes, it is. It is very tiring. A lot of late nights.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00And all those glamorous people whizzing around trying to tempt you.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03- A lot of that.- In one direction or another.- Yeah, a lot of that.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05And what happens with the drinking, too,

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- cos I guess there's a certain amount of that.- There's quite a lot. Normally when you DJ, it's free,

0:02:09 > 0:02:13- so it's quite tempting to maybe drink too much.- Nice for dancing to.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Yeah, very good for dancing.- That's always good at a disco, isn't it?

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Where did you meet old Harry, then?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21I met Harry out in Ibiza on a holiday with a mutual friend.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22That sounds dodgy.

0:02:23 > 0:02:28- Isn't Ibiza one of those places? It's a bit of a rave capital.- It is.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- It's very good fun. A lot of dancing. - The party island.- The party island?

0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Exactly.- You said that with feeling, I have to say, Harry,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- cos are you a man that likes to party a bit, then? - Yeah, I like to party.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42- You're an entertainer, too?- Yeah, I manage a restaurant in Notting Hill.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45We do 30, 40 covers a night which is really good.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Tell me, between the two of you, what floats your boat when it comes to collecting?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Something to do with music, I bet.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55Well, yeah, I collect vinyl, old vinyl, especially if you can get your hands on first pressings.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- They can be worth quite a lot of money. - So, you're up for this, then?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Is it going to be a good clean fight with our lovely girls?- I hope so.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05You hope so? That doesn't seem absolutely certain.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Anyway, very good luck.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Now, Gabby...- Hello. - ..these guys have only been friends

0:03:11 > 0:03:13since Ibiza and some kind of ravy party.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17- But you two have been close for ever, haven't you?- Yes, for ever.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Basically, 20 years now. Since primary school we've been best of friends.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Did you meet in the school yard and just get on with it?- I think so.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Rachel's got a better memory of it than me.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Basically, I'd don't remember her not being there so it must've been

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- the playground or something. - Can you remember exactly, Rach?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35I remember I was very, very shy at primary school

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- and Gabby was a talker. So I kind of needed her.- Have things moved on?

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Yeah, she talks a lot now.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45She gets out a lot and she talks a lot, which is really nice, isn't it?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Now, you're studying for your PhD at the moment.- Yeah.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Watch out, lads, there's some brains about.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52What exactly is that in, darling?

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'm looking at the representations of female

0:03:55 > 0:03:56philanthropy in Victorian novels.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01Which basically is a good cover story for me to read my favourite books and write about them.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Lots of job satisfaction anyway. - Exactly.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06- So, Rach, you're in the process of changing jobs.- I am.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08What were you and what are you about to become?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10So, I'm still going to stay working in marketing

0:04:10 > 0:04:13but I'm completely changing sector so I'm going to go

0:04:13 > 0:04:16and work for a charity. I'm going to work for The Samaritans.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'm really looking forward to that.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- It is a great charity, The Samaritans.- Absolutely brilliant.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Definitely.- What bit of marketing are you in currently,

0:04:23 > 0:04:24before your job shift?

0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm a marketing manager and I work for a skincare company,

0:04:27 > 0:04:30so within beauty. So I do all the branding.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33- But... I know that you're both fitness fanatics.- That's right. - We are.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37But all this...all this fitness largely revolves around running,

0:04:37 > 0:04:38- doesn't it?- It does.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41So, we've done a few marathons, half marathons.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43We like to kind of involve travelling as well.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- So we've done one in Budapest, Guernsey...- Have you? Very flat.

0:04:47 > 0:04:52- That was the plan!- Nice and flat. - That is where I would do a marathon, where it's flat, yes.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- And we're going to Amsterdam this year.- Another flat one.- Brilliant.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00So, tactics? What's the tactics to lash up these boys?

0:05:00 > 0:05:01We're just going to be really decisive.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04If we see something we like, we're going to go for it.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Run you out of town, that's what we're going to do!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Oh, I like that challenge. Don't you?

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Anyway, here's the money moment. £300 apiece. 300.- Thank you.

0:05:13 > 0:05:14You know the rules?

0:05:14 > 0:05:18Your experts await and off you go, and very, very good luck.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's game on and our experts are ready and waiting

0:05:21 > 0:05:22to give their teams a chance.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Fishing for profits, though, is Jeremy Lamond.

0:05:26 > 0:05:30And on the Blue team is the Wonder Woman of the antiques world,

0:05:30 > 0:05:32it's Kate Bliss.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36What are our tactics today?

0:05:36 > 0:05:39We're primarily looking for silverware. There's a high price

0:05:39 > 0:05:42for it at the moment, so hopefully it'll do well at auction.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Some nice bits of glass would be quite a sell, so, yeah.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48And have you got an area you're particularly interested in?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- We absolutely love jewellery. - Sparkly things, silver things.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- That's what we'd go for.- Definitely. - Fantastic. We'd better get started.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Let's go in here.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Are we going to put the Blues through the mill today?- Yeah.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01- I think we should. Let's do it.- Ha!

0:06:01 > 0:06:04A shining wit. Keep it up, Jeremy.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06I think we should keep our heads down and get stuck in.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- What do you think?- Oh...

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Sorry, Jeremy, that gag went right over my head.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13What about this vase here? This is quite ornate.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's not very nice, though, is it? Would you buy that?

0:06:19 > 0:06:22- If this was 1800, it would be great. - Yeah.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's more like 1985.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Yep, 1985 was a good year for Chateau Lafite,

0:06:28 > 0:06:30but its glassware isn't quite so sought-after.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38There's loads of jewellery in here if I remember rightly. Here we go.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40- Oh, fabulous.- What do you think? - Gorgeous.

0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Quite a lot of costume pieces.- We don't really want to go for brooches.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Right. Why is that?

0:06:47 > 0:06:48THEY LAUGH

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Rachel's nanna.- My nanna thinks they're a bit morbid.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53She said to stay clear of brooches.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57That's really interesting because, in the jewellery market,

0:06:57 > 0:07:00brooches have become a lot less commercial in recent years.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Best pin your hopes on something else perhaps, girls.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's pendants or rings that are selling a lot better than brooches,

0:07:06 > 0:07:09- so that is really good. - Nanna's on it!- It's a good tip.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11What do you think of those? Anything of value?

0:07:11 > 0:07:15I don't think there's any first pressings here, but...

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Sure? Nat King Cole? Bing Crosby? - Not worth that much, though.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Maybe go downstairs and see if we can find anything down there.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Shall we press on?- Yeah. - Oh, dear, Jeremy.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28With jokes like that, it's going to be a long player today.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32Now, brooches are out. What about cuff links?

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Cuff links are actually quite a good one because, you know,

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- loads of gents like to wear them still.- Yeah.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40So they're perennial good sellers.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I don't know whether these are gold,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44it does say "9-carat gold". I wonder if we should have a look.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Sounds good.- What do you think?

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Gold prices are quite strong at the moment.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52People expect to pay a little bit more as well.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53OK. That's interesting.

0:07:53 > 0:07:57It says here "9-carat gold and silver"

0:07:57 > 0:08:02so they're not what's known as, you know, an 18-carat or 9-carat gold.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06They are a very thin layer of gold plate on silver.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07OK.

0:08:07 > 0:08:13Which makes them less valuable, basically. Which is a shame.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15All that glitters, eh, girls? Keep at it.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Jeremy, what do you think of the china set?

0:08:18 > 0:08:23That one is a fairly modern set. And it's quite a diminutive rent.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27And really, with china, you need a good strong colour and pattern.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Because that's fairly dull.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31People don't want to put these things through a dishwasher

0:08:31 > 0:08:33so they tend not to buy them.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34Anything else you've spotted?

0:08:34 > 0:08:38- What about those earrings?- They're fun, aren't they? They're lovely.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Those, look, it says here "silver gilt".

0:08:42 > 0:08:46But what we've got here, to me, looks like semiprecious stones.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50You've got amethyst, that looks like a peridot.

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Um, possibly a citrine there.

0:08:52 > 0:08:58- And a garnet.- Ah.- And even a little aquamarine at the bottom, look.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Oh, lovely.- How much are they?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Well, considering they have got so many precious stones in them,

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- they're £28. - It's not that bad, is it?

0:09:06 > 0:09:07I'll just give you the box

0:09:07 > 0:09:10while I have a look at one with my eyeglass.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11Have a closer look at them.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Yes, they're stamped 925, do you know what that stands for?- No.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19Well, it stands for 92.5 parts of silver

0:09:19 > 0:09:21per 100 parts of metal.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- OK.- So if you had pure silver, it'd be too soft to work with,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28so they have two mix it with another metal to make an alloy.

0:09:28 > 0:09:34And 925 actually is the standard sterling grade of silver.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Oh, brilliant.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Semiprecious stones are really coming back in at the moment.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43- So I think these would be quite a good lot in our auction.- Shall we?

0:09:43 > 0:09:46I think we should go for them. Unless you've got any objections.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49The girls are keen, but will the price shine for them?

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Hi, Arthur, what could you do on these for us?

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Well, that's about £28 so we can do about 10%,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- so I could do that for 25.- Right...

0:10:00 > 0:10:01Go on, Arthur!

0:10:01 > 0:10:06Be a shining knight for our lovely girls. Can you do better than that?

0:10:06 > 0:10:07How about 20?

0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Ooh.- I think I'd prefer...

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I'd feel comfortable with something in the teens.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- So maybe 19, could you do that for us?- 19 we could do, we could do 19.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17- Perfect.- Fabulous. Thank you.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Well done. Lovely. Thank you very much, Arthur.- Thank you.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Arthur...you're a legend!

0:10:23 > 0:10:27What about this thing here, looks like a silver matchbox holder.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Have you struck lucky, Ben? - I don't know.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34- We can see it's not very decorative. - It's not decorative.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Pass that to you to get your opinion.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40As you rightly say, it's silver, it's got a London hallmark here.

0:10:40 > 0:10:41But the date letter is rubbed.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44To a silver collector, that's bad news.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47But apart from that, it's in pretty good condition.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51For £45, I can't really imagine that going for any more

0:10:51 > 0:10:53- than that at an auction.- No.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56It should be 20 to 30, so if you can get that for 25...

0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Haggle him down a bit. - That would be worth a go.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Does it set you alight, this? - CRASH OF CYMBAL

0:11:01 > 0:11:03That is bad. That is a bad joke.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Jeremy, you're on fire today.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, eh?

0:11:13 > 0:11:15- You like this, don't you?- Yes.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Let's take it over there where there's a bit more light.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm going to bring something else as well,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- which I've just seen.- Fantastic. - So we'll take two pieces.

0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Can you hold onto that for a second? Now, who spotted this?- Rachel.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- I really like that. - Let's have a closer look.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Let's get into it. Look at that. That is very neat.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41- It's a little compact mirror... - Oh, wow.- ..as well, that flips up.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46- I like it, I'm just not sure about the lipstick being left in it.- Yeah.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Look at that. Does that put you off? - It does a little bit.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53I suppose people wouldn't be buying it to use it anyway.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54It'd be a collectors' item.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57The right collector would be right made up to own that!

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Well, I think that's actually quite reassuring, because it shows

0:12:01 > 0:12:05that actually it's been used, it has a little bit of age.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07- It's not brand-new.- Yes.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11I'm just looking for any marks to the white metal,

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- I can't see anything at all.- No.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16It's a little bit of a novelty item, if you like.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- What's that on there? What does that mean?- Oh, well spotted.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24- She's got eager eyes. - Expert eyes there!

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Ah, now that is exactly what I was looking for.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29You've got marked "800" there.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Now, 800 is a continental mark that you see on continental silver.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39So it's silver as a type, it's not English standard sterling silver,

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- possibly French.- Oh, OK.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45So slightly lower grade of silver than English silver, but still

0:12:45 > 0:12:49a grade of silver, and typically, actually, in design, quite French.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52I've got French family, I think we should go for this.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Oh, are you getting lucky vibes? - Exactly.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57I think this is a really neat little design here.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01I'd like to see this at auction at probably £30-£50.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03So why don't I go and do some negotiating?

0:13:03 > 0:13:07We'll leave that little bowl for now because you like this so much.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09We can always come back to that. I'll see you in a minute.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- OK, great.- Thank you.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14So, Kate's gone to work her magic. Go on, Reds!

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Time to match your charm with your haggle-ability.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20We think 45 is maybe a little bit too steep.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23What's the best price you could offer us?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Well, what were you thinking? - We think around 20.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Yeah, around the 20 mark. - Erm, 20 is a bit low.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32What would you think about 28?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Still a bit above our budget.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- We've got to make a profit, that's the end game.- I know.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Then again, you have to make your money as well.- Absolutely.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Could you do it for 25?- 25...

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- It's a big drop, a £20 drop.- Yeah.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47It would be hugely appreciated

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- and I think it might be one of our stars at the auction.- Oh, OK, then.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Thank you very much.- Thank you.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Smoothly done, lads.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02This is it, isn't it?

0:14:02 > 0:14:04All pretty girls together have to buy pretty things.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07- And it is charming, isn't it? - This is really neat.- How much is it?

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- The deck is 52.- Right. And have you decided to go with it?

0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Are you going with it?- Yes. - I think so. Definitely.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I really want to.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- OK, so that's the decision. - Definitely.- Your second item.- Yes.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20- We're moving quickly.- You are. - No stopping these girls.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23They're pretty swift. But now you've made your decision,

0:14:23 > 0:14:26I can give you might opinion on it and I think it is sweet.

0:14:26 > 0:14:31- I mean, I rarely use lipstick myself but if I do it more often...- Rarely?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33That would be the case for me.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Cheeky!- Thank you. Good.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42Well, we are almost up to 20 minutes on the clock.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46These girls are racing ahead. So I have high hopes.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I think we're really going to give those Reds a run for their money.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, steady on, Mrs Bliss.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53It ain't over until the hour's up

0:14:53 > 0:14:57and you've got to find another item yet. 20 minutes gone, teams.

0:14:57 > 0:15:01- What about the silver bowl down here as well?- How much is that?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- It says...I think it says 32 on it. - Is it silver?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Er...

0:15:06 > 0:15:09It says silver on the label but I would have to look at the hallmark.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13If that is silver, then that is certainly worth £32.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15OK, well, should we go have a look at it?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17This style is called a quaich,

0:15:17 > 0:15:21which is a Scottish drinking bowl style.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- And this is what this is copying. - What do they drink out of it?

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- In Scotland?- Whisky. - Anything you like.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31I think this is quite an impressive bowl. Even though it's plate.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- And I think that's worth a go.- What is the best price value you can do?

0:15:36 > 0:15:37- 28 on that.- 28?

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Shall we have a look at a few more things

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- and we can always come back to this? - You can.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45- I don't want to jump onto it just yet.- It might be our backstop.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Exactly.- Quite right, Reds.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49If you jump anywhere in this building,

0:15:49 > 0:15:53you're likely to do yourself, and it, some serious damage.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58So much so, I've decided to take a breather outside, by the leat.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02Cor! This is a sight for sore eyes, isn't it?

0:16:02 > 0:16:08When have you seen such a beautiful piece of cast bronze?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11The base has got a lot of information.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16It's stamped "E Onslow Ford, London, 1889".

0:16:16 > 0:16:22So that establishes who the sculptor was, Edward Onslow Ford,

0:16:22 > 0:16:25and the year that he sculpted the original.

0:16:25 > 0:16:29This is the cast produced by Arthur Collie

0:16:29 > 0:16:32and that's on our little plaque at the back.

0:16:32 > 0:16:37So, Onslow Ford sculpted the original in 1889,

0:16:37 > 0:16:42and by May 1890, editions of these bronzes were produced

0:16:42 > 0:16:45by Arthur Collie in his foundry.

0:16:45 > 0:16:51One upheld arm has a dove of peace on it,

0:16:51 > 0:16:54the other arm is supporting an olive branch.

0:16:55 > 0:17:00Olive being emblematic of peace and reconciliation.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03What's most beautiful about this object

0:17:03 > 0:17:06is the colour of the metal itself. If you look carefully,

0:17:06 > 0:17:10there are sections with green flecking, which contrast

0:17:10 > 0:17:12with other hues of brown.

0:17:12 > 0:17:17And the frond of the olive branch is dramatically positioned,

0:17:17 > 0:17:23giving you a tidal wave of motion above the model's head.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Isn't she gorgeous?

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Well, I think she is and if you looked it up on the internet,

0:17:29 > 0:17:33you would find other pieces of sculpture like this

0:17:33 > 0:17:35available in London galleries

0:17:35 > 0:17:40at prices between £10,000 and £15,000.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Some would say this young girl is worth every penny.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49Halfway through, and both teams are still a-hunting.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's nice, a bit out of our price range at 1,500!

0:17:53 > 0:17:56- So am I rocking the boat with this one? - CRASH OF CYMBAL

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Another one of those great jokes(!)

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Jeremy, old boy, just don't give up the day job, eh?

0:18:01 > 0:18:02It says The Sporting Artist.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I was just thinking... I was looking for runners.- Ah.- There we are!

0:18:06 > 0:18:07Little boys!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Come on, you need to keep hunting

0:18:11 > 0:18:14if you're going to be in with a sporting chance, girls.

0:18:14 > 0:18:20What's caught my eye particularly is this little pillbox.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23If that is silver - it's got to be silver, not plate -

0:18:23 > 0:18:26that is worth a crack, little silver...

0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Even at £38?- Seems a bit steep.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Not at 38 quid.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33But if you could get that for 30 quid, with the hounds on the top,

0:18:33 > 0:18:35that would have quite a big appeal.

0:18:35 > 0:18:38So do you want to look at that one or...?

0:18:38 > 0:18:39I don't know.

0:18:39 > 0:18:41No worries, Reds, but you've only bought one item

0:18:41 > 0:18:43and there's less than 30 minutes left.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45What about this lamp?

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I'm not keen on it.- I could tell that you wouldn't like it!

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Now, after a flying start, girls, time is now slipping away.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56In fact, we're well over halfway. We've got to keep the momentum up.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Exactly.- Definitely. - Don't worry. Off you go.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01INSECT BUZZING

0:19:01 > 0:19:05What is that noise? Is there a BLUEBOTTLE in here?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Oh, there it is!

0:19:07 > 0:19:09It's got an English silver stopper,

0:19:09 > 0:19:13but it's a sort of radiator shape, isn't it?

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Although it's a perfume bottle, this could appeal either way,

0:19:16 > 0:19:20man or woman. You can put whisky in there or your perfume, couldn't you?

0:19:20 > 0:19:23What's good about the hallmark is it's a Chester hallmark,

0:19:23 > 0:19:25so that's a minor assay office,

0:19:25 > 0:19:29so people would buy it for that, it's quite collectable.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33I think it's worth a go. What would you pay for it, without looking?

0:19:33 > 0:19:34Around £30.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Well, it's priced at 28, so I think you're in the right ballpark.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41If go and ask Valerie, she might give us a ticket on that one.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44- We're very keen on this bottle, Valerie.- Yes.- It's £28.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46A bit steep.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Do you reckon you could take it down to about 20?- I can do 20.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53That's extremely kind. Thank you very much. Nice doing business with you.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54Well done. Number two.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56< I'll take it to the desk for you.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Thanks very much.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02Well done, Reds. The sweet smell of success. OK, teams, 10 minutes left.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05And you've both got one more item to truffle out.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Although this place looks small from the outside,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10it's huge on the inside.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Who knows what you'll find?

0:20:12 > 0:20:14Over here, girls. It's a scent bottle.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19The Blues have gone all eau de Cologne, and I'm going all deja vu.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Another scent bottle?

0:20:21 > 0:20:22We've got cut glass on the bottom.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25A nice star-cut base, you can see there.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28That looks to be in good condition.

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Always need to check to see if there are any major cracks,

0:20:32 > 0:20:36and then this mount on the top is actually really nice.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40You can see a silver hallmark there, even if it's a bit rubbed.

0:20:40 > 0:20:41The hinge...

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Ah!- ..is broken.- Oh...

0:20:46 > 0:20:50But I wonder if that could be repaired.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54Because that still snaps quite easily on there.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57I think, to me, it looks like it needs a little pin.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01The price tag is 99.

0:21:01 > 0:21:06I think an estimate for this at auction would probably be £50-£80.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Rachel isn't enamoured with the scent bottle,

0:21:08 > 0:21:10but she knows what she likes.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Maybe could we go back to the bowl?

0:21:12 > 0:21:15The original bowl that you picked up. The silver one.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16Are you coming back to that?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- I'd quite like to see what they do with the price for that.- OK.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- All right. Where was that? In this one?- Yes.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25- TICKING - Can you hear that, teams?

0:21:25 > 0:21:29That's your clock ticking. Five minutes left. It's decision time.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31We are out of time pretty much.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34We've got the pillbox, which we looked at earlier, or the bowl.

0:21:34 > 0:21:39Here's our little dish. I would call that a pin dish or a little bonbon basket,

0:21:39 > 0:21:41if you like, for sweeties or something.

0:21:41 > 0:21:46It's in lovely condition, I think it's 1940. 1942, there we are.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48There's the hallmark just on the edge there.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's not too light,

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- so there's a little bit of good weight of silver in there.- Yeah.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56So, the ticket price on this is 45.

0:21:56 > 0:22:01So I think, once we know what the very best price is on the basket,

0:22:01 > 0:22:05and on the scent bottle, then we can make our mind up. OK.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07I'm sure they can sweeten the price for you,

0:22:07 > 0:22:11but you can only have one, girls. Now, Reds, have you made a decision?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13I hope so, as we're all out of time.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17I've spoken to the dealer and the absolute bottom price is £27.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19We've got to pay that, we've got to buy this...

0:22:19 > 0:22:22- I don't think we've got a choice! - We are out of time.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- For love nor money, let's do it. - Let's go for it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:26That's entertainment!

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Well done, boys.- Thank you very much for your help.- Thank you very much.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34What is the very best you can do for us on these two pieces?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Right, they're two different dealers, so I think I could

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- probably do 85 on the perfume bottle.- Right.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42And, on that piece, I could do 38.

0:22:42 > 0:22:4538? OK, that is a little bit better.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49- And that is the absolute rock bottom?- It is, yes.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52Well, I know I said I loved the perfume bottle,

0:22:52 > 0:22:55but I think in this case I'm going to defer to you, Rachel, you decide.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59I think, because this one is in lovely condition and this one

0:22:59 > 0:23:02is a bit damaged, I think this is the safer option, for me.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06And I think it's lovely. I think I'd be happy with that, thank you.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Well done, Blues. Playing it safe, I see.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11But there's nothing wrong with that.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Right, time's up, that's your lot.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Let's have a look at what the Reds have got.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20They started off their spree with a silver matchbox case for £25.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26Then they sniffed out a blue glass perfume bottle, £20 paid.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30They didn't break the bank with their third purchase either,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33a silver quaich for £27.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Now, lads, have you had a nice time? - Excellent time.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41- What was the best bit for you, Harry?- Probably the silver matchbox.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- It's your favourite?- Yes. Hopefully it sets the saleroom alight.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Oh, you've got all the lines, haven't you? What about you, Ben?

0:23:47 > 0:23:48I'd agree with Harry.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51I think that's our best bet for a good profit.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54OK. Well, we're in agreement. Lovely. So, what did you spend?

0:23:54 > 0:24:00- I think about £72 in total.- £72? I want £228 of leftover lolly, please.

0:24:00 > 0:24:01- There you go.- Thank you very much.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04That's lovely. With the small change. There you go.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05J, that's a good wodge.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09You could buy most of the entire outfit here for that.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Including the freehold. - There are four floors and a ghost,

0:24:11 > 0:24:13so I think I'll find a presence in there.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16You don't stand a ghost of a chance. Anyway, good luck, chaps.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Meanwhile, why don't we check out how the Blue team got on, eh?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22A pair of silver gilt earrings caught their eye first,

0:24:22 > 0:24:24costing them £19.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's been a day for silver.

0:24:27 > 0:24:31This compact and lipstick holder set them back £52.

0:24:31 > 0:24:36The silver jamboree ended with this 1940s dish, £38 paid for that.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, listen, girls. Which is your favourite piece, Gabby?

0:24:41 > 0:24:45I quite like the earrings, I like the sparkly semiprecious stones.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah. What about you, Rach?

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I think the lipstick holder, definitely. It's nice and feminine.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Is that going to bring the biggest profit?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I think that the earrings are going to,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57with the semiprecious stones - we got him right down to £19.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- £19!- You got him down!- Yeah!

0:24:59 > 0:25:02- It was definitely all you. - That's a good price for those.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- Rachel has been your secret weapon today. Perfect.- No holding back.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10- And what was the grand total that you spent?- £109.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Who's got the 191?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Me.- Moi. Can I have it, please?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17This is our leftover lolly,

0:25:17 > 0:25:20all of which, without commission or stoppages for charges

0:25:20 > 0:25:23or anything like that, goes straight to Kate Bliss.

0:25:23 > 0:25:28- Great!- She rubs her hands as usual, ready with the old, ever-open paw.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Fabulous.- What are you going to spend it on, Kate Bliss?

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I might hit the cafe first.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34THEY LAUGH

0:25:34 > 0:25:37Because you're desperate for lunch? Yeah.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- See you later.- Is it going to be something culinary, you think?

0:25:40 > 0:25:44Well, I'm not exactly sure actually. I think I've got my work cut out.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46The girls have done such a good job.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49They've cleared out everything worthwhile buying in the place?

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Possibly!

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Well, that's exciting anyway. Good luck.

0:25:53 > 0:25:57Meanwhile, I'm going to take you to the foothills of Surrey

0:25:57 > 0:26:00to Clandon Park, where it is gorgeous.

0:26:14 > 0:26:21Clandon Park boasts many beautiful works of art and stunning treasures.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25It also has a link to the other side of the world,

0:26:25 > 0:26:28which makes it unique in the United Kingdom.

0:26:34 > 0:26:40This is the Onslow Room, described as the family museum room.

0:26:40 > 0:26:46In 1888, the fourth Earl of Onslow was appointed Governor General,

0:26:46 > 0:26:50aged just 34, of New Zealand.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53And he headed off with his wife and three children.

0:26:53 > 0:26:58While he was there, his wife produced a further son.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Being a diplomatic fellow - after all, he was Governor General -

0:27:02 > 0:27:04and having a fondness for the Maori people,

0:27:04 > 0:27:09he called his son a Maori name - Huia,

0:27:09 > 0:27:12which means in Maori "precious treasure".

0:27:12 > 0:27:18Shortly afterwards, the Maori people presented the child with this cloak,

0:27:18 > 0:27:22a very special symbolic garment

0:27:22 > 0:27:25with which he could wrap himself.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27It's an extraordinary thing.

0:27:27 > 0:27:32If you look at the ground, there's a woven, coir-type base

0:27:32 > 0:27:37into which all these feathers, literally thousands

0:27:37 > 0:27:41and thousands of feathers, have been woven.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45And where did the feathers come from? They came from the kiwi bird.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48That little bird in that cabinet.

0:27:48 > 0:27:53Just exactly how many of those fellows had to be plucked

0:27:53 > 0:27:56to create this magnificent cloak?

0:27:57 > 0:28:02New Zealand is riven by geophysical faults,

0:28:02 > 0:28:05and if we look at this photograph,

0:28:05 > 0:28:09it shows the aftermath of a massive explosion,

0:28:09 > 0:28:13a volcanic eruption which, in 1886,

0:28:13 > 0:28:19spewed two million cubic yards of material into the sky.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24The effects on the local population were catastrophic.

0:28:24 > 0:28:31In one particular village, 150 local inhabitants lost their lives.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34But it wasn't all an entirely sad story.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44- HE CHUCKLES - Isn't this extraordinary?

0:28:44 > 0:28:49Can you believe that we're in an English country house garden,

0:28:49 > 0:28:54and not in the back lands somewhere in New Zealand?

0:28:54 > 0:28:57I must introduce you to Hinemihi.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Because she is not just a building,

0:29:01 > 0:29:05she's very important in Maori cultural terms.

0:29:06 > 0:29:12At the top of this building, we have a figure that's known as Tekoteko.

0:29:12 > 0:29:17And the barge boards that go down at either side are actually

0:29:17 > 0:29:21representative of her arms, open in welcome.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25And at the end of these boards are her fingers.

0:29:25 > 0:29:31It's a building that has incredible significance to the Maori people.

0:29:31 > 0:29:37In this structure, following that horrendous volcanic eruption,

0:29:37 > 0:29:42the surviving villagers, about 50 of them, sheltered and survived.

0:29:42 > 0:29:47And those survivors' descendants today come to Clandon

0:29:47 > 0:29:52and celebrate the fact that this structure is still with us.

0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's an extraordinary story.

0:29:55 > 0:29:59Almost as extraordinary, one might say, as the profits

0:29:59 > 0:30:02that our teams are about to make over at the auction...

0:30:02 > 0:30:03maybe.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Criterion Wandsworth Auctions

0:30:16 > 0:30:19is our home today and Daniel Webster is our host.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Hello, Dan, how are you? - How do you do, Tim? Thank you. - Very nice to see you.

0:30:22 > 0:30:27Erm, so, first up for the Reds, we've got the matchbox case.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31- Pretty classic object this, isn't it?- Standard model if you like, Tim.

0:30:31 > 0:30:35Neat little sort of spherical bun feet at the bottom there.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37- What's it worth?- £30 to £40.

0:30:37 > 0:30:38£25 paid.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Like shelling peas, isn't it? - It is.

0:30:42 > 0:30:44Next is the blue bottle.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48French bottle bottom, Chester silver hallmark top.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50Do you think that might be a marriage?

0:30:50 > 0:30:53Possibly, a bit strange, isn't it, in that, as you say,

0:30:53 > 0:30:58the bottle's French and we've got an English hallmarked top to it?

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Sits on there quite nicely. I suppose looks the part.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03What do you think that's going to bring?

0:31:03 > 0:31:05Er, 30 to 40 on that one again.

0:31:05 > 0:31:11£20 paid. Lastly is the quaich. Or quaich-style bowl.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Big quaich, isn't it? - It certainly is.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18If traditionally the Scottish people passed this around

0:31:18 > 0:31:19and they have a toast out of it,

0:31:19 > 0:31:25- that's got about a gallon of whisky in it! Sadly, only in plate.- Yes.

0:31:25 > 0:31:31- Good, heavy, slight Arts and Crafts appeal to it.- What's your estimate?

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- We've got 30 to 40 on it.- £27 paid.

0:31:34 > 0:31:39So, we've got three potential immediate profits that is the price

0:31:39 > 0:31:44paid versus the estimates which is a healthy position to be in.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46It can all go horribly wrong, though,

0:31:46 > 0:31:48so let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52OK, Ben and Harry you spent the most miserable £72 ever seen

0:31:52 > 0:31:55by man or boy and you gave Jeremy £228.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58J, what did you spend it on?

0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Well, in the spirit of our miserable spending, I've carried on.- Oh, Lord!

0:32:02 > 0:32:06- That's amazing.- What do you think it is?- Shoehorn?- A shoehorn.

0:32:06 > 0:32:10Yeah, absolutely right. Well, it's Japanese mixed metal.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14It's about 1880, 1890, you've got Japanese motifs.

0:32:14 > 0:32:19- Mount Fuji on the handle here.- Is the damage going to affect the price?

0:32:19 > 0:32:21I think you could beat that out.

0:32:21 > 0:32:24You could probably shoehorn that out really, couldn't you?

0:32:24 > 0:32:26How much did you pay for it?

0:32:26 > 0:32:32- Well, what do you think?- 80 quid? - 80?- 25?- 15.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Bargain!- You don't have to choose

0:32:34 > 0:32:37until after the sale of your first three items, but right now

0:32:37 > 0:32:40for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks

0:32:40 > 0:32:42about Jeremy's shoehorn.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47There we go, Daniel. A little challenge for you.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50Er, Japanese brass shoehorn.

0:32:50 > 0:32:55Obviously had some use in its day with the bent blade there

0:32:55 > 0:32:58so it's going to put people off because of that.

0:32:58 > 0:33:02That aside, it's nicely cast at the top there with the birds

0:33:02 > 0:33:06and the flower heads so it's decorative.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Well the big question is, what's it worth?- 30 to 40.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Jeremy will be pleased, £15 paid.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15That's quite a canny bonus buy, if they go with it.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21You've got the half hoop earrings for a kick-off.

0:33:21 > 0:33:22How do you the those?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24They're a decorative pair of earrings

0:33:24 > 0:33:28and that's really all you can say about them.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32- We've got an estimate of 20 to 40 on them.- Perfect. £19 paid.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Next is the lipstick holder.- Pretty little thing. Art Deco period.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41Milled decoration, nice turquoise cabochon as the handle there.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Neat little thing.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46£30, £40, something like that.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49They paid 52 actually so that's a bit above your estimate

0:33:49 > 0:33:51but you never know, it's a quality object.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55- Next is the bonbon dish or pin dish. - Neat little thing.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Nicely pierced decoration, sort of quatrefoil shape almost.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Not much silver in it, though. It's a thin old job, isn't it?

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Yeah, not much weight there.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Still, 1945.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08End of the war, you know, not much silver about, I suppose.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11Certainly will sell. Silver still very popular at the moment.

0:34:11 > 0:34:15Good prices for scrap silver brings up the decorative silver as well.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20- So £25-£40.- OK, £38 paid.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Some of this slightly on the cusp, though, I think we'd better go

0:34:23 > 0:34:25and have a look at the bonus buy.

0:34:26 > 0:34:31Now, Rach, Gabbs, you gave Kate Bliss £191, Kate,

0:34:31 > 0:34:36- what did you spend it on?- Well, this is what I have bought for you.

0:34:36 > 0:34:43- It's a box.- OK.- With a set of six rather nice teaspoons.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44- Ah!- Oh!

0:34:44 > 0:34:47Now these are what's known as seal-top spoons

0:34:47 > 0:34:49because they have that rather nice little

0:34:49 > 0:34:53terminal on the end like a seal if you like which gives it its name.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56And if you have a little feel of that, you can feel they've got

0:34:56 > 0:34:58- a good weight. - There quite weighty, aren't they?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00They were actually made in Sheffield

0:35:00 > 0:35:02and if you look on the back of the bowl you can see

0:35:02 > 0:35:05a little crown, if you look carefully, which is the mark

0:35:05 > 0:35:08for Sheffield so that's where the silver was tested and hallmarked.

0:35:08 > 0:35:13They're dated for 1935 which is very much in the Art Deco period,

0:35:13 > 0:35:16of course, and they have very much a sort of Art Deco look

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- about them, I think.- I like them.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- How much did you spend on them? - Well, you gave me a lot of money.

0:35:22 > 0:35:27- Yeah.- We did.- I was quite conservative and I have spent £50.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- OK.- That's not bad, is it? - Not too bad.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32- Happy?- Yeah, definitely. - Yes, definitely.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Well, you don't pick now, you pick later if you need to

0:35:34 > 0:35:36but for the audience at home, lets find out

0:35:36 > 0:35:40what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's set of spoons.

0:35:41 > 0:35:46Now, Daniel, a classic saleroom cased set of six spoons.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Nicely hallmarked, Sheffield, 1935,

0:35:50 > 0:35:53yeah, good saleroom fodder for want of a better description!

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Yeah, what are they worth?

0:35:55 > 0:35:58- We've got 30 to 40 on them. - 30 to 40?

0:35:58 > 0:36:00£50 paid by Kate Bliss.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03She might be just a bit tight to make a profit on that.

0:36:03 > 0:36:05That's very much top end, yes.

0:36:05 > 0:36:11I know that smile, Dan, it's the smile that launched a thousand ships.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Good luck today.- Thank you.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Now, Ben, Harry, how are you feeling?- Pretty confident. - Don't know.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26Well, he's confident, I'm quite nervous.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Let's cross everything, all right?

0:36:28 > 0:36:32Say our prayers because the first lot, your match case, is coming up now.

0:36:32 > 0:36:37Lot 170, it's an Edwardian silver table matchbox case with

0:36:37 > 0:36:41- interest at 35. 40 got.- Paid 25.

0:36:42 > 0:36:47- Go on, son.- 40.- 40? Did he say 40?

0:36:47 > 0:36:50- He did say 40. That's plus 15. - Nearly doubled.- That's very fair.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53I'd told you this was going to be all right.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Now here comes the perfume bottle.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58Hallmarked silver screw-top perfume bottle.

0:36:58 > 0:37:04Bottle blue glass French we have £20. At 25, 30.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Now here comes the quaich.

0:37:20 > 0:37:25Early 20th-century electroplated Scottish more sort of a fruit bowl

0:37:25 > 0:37:28rather than a quaich but there you have it. At £30 on commission.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30You've got 30, you're in profit.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34At £30, surely worth more. 35, 40, one more, sir?

0:37:34 > 0:37:38- Only money. No, at £40. - Did he say £40?

0:37:38 > 0:37:41At £40, are we all done, then, at 40?

0:37:42 > 0:37:43That is real nice.

0:37:43 > 0:37:48That's real, real nice, plus 13, that is plus £43 overall.

0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Getting in there.- You spend 72 and you come away with £43 profit.

0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Now how good's that? Are you going to go with J?- Absolutely.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Definitely.- Is that deffo? All right, that's a decision, then.

0:37:59 > 0:38:05Lot 176 is a Japanese mixed metal shoehorn with interest.

0:38:05 > 0:38:12- Again at 10, 15, 18 got.- Profit. - £18, are we done for 18?

0:38:30 > 0:38:36- you are plus £48. Now, not a word to the girls.- OK, of course.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38- That's cool.- Well done, chaps.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- OK, Rach, Gabbs, how are you feeling?- Good.- Confident.- Are you?

0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Yes.- Do you know how the boys got on? - No.- No idea.- They haven't told us.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52- They're quite cool like that, not going to give anything away.- Yeah.

0:38:52 > 0:38:56Just lie back and enjoy it, that's the answer. And first up, earrings.

0:39:57 > 0:40:01- He sold it, £45.- That's not too bad. - That is minus £7.- That's all right.

0:40:01 > 0:40:07- Seven pounds off 31 means you're plus 24.- Still up there.

0:40:07 > 0:40:08Now, your pin dish.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41- What are we going to do about the silver spoons?- I don't know.

0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Are you going to stick or twist? - We thought if we got plus anything...

0:40:45 > 0:40:49- We would stick. - Yes.- Because that's quite good.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53- I think we'll stick. - And what is it, 21?- You've got 21.

0:40:53 > 0:40:58- 21's a nice number!- 21 is. £10.50 each. The decision is no bonus buy.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22- Well, that's brilliant.- We did.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25- So, listen, you're plus £21, how good does that that feel?- Amazing.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27- It's amazing.- Amazing.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30Now the big thing is, don't say a word to those miserable boys.

0:41:30 > 0:41:34- Don't say a dickybird.- Poker face. - All will be revealed in a moment.

0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Well done, girls.- Fantastic, thank you.- Yes! I can believe it.

0:41:42 > 0:41:47Well, how lovely is this? To have a programme with two teams of winners.

0:41:47 > 0:41:52Everybody's in profits today. How unusual is that?

0:41:52 > 0:41:56- Now, have you girls and boys been chatting to one another?- No.

0:41:56 > 0:41:59- No, no.- Not about the score? - No.- Right, so...

0:41:59 > 0:42:01- The rivalry is keen, yes? - Definitely.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05- You both now know that you're in profit.- Yeah.

0:42:05 > 0:42:06It's just a question of scale.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10I can tell you that the team that's marginally behind...

0:42:10 > 0:42:12are the Blues.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16- Yeah!- But it ain't half bad, is it? - No, no.

0:42:16 > 0:42:21- £21 of profits going to the girls. - Yay!- Yes! Here we go.- Thank you.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23£21 coming up.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25- That is pretty good, isn't it? - I'll take that!
