0:00:04 > 0:00:09Today we're in the heart of trendy Notting Hill, at one of the largest,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14if not definitely the longest antiques market in the world.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Prepare yourself, Portobello Road, for bargain-hunting!
0:00:49 > 0:00:53This historic street is heaving with people
0:00:53 > 0:00:59and stalls from end to end, which makes it top Bargain Hunt territory.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02So let's have a glimpse as to what's coming up
0:01:02 > 0:01:04from jolly old London's W11.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08On today's show, we go from the sartorial...
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- That's pretty psychedelic.- Yes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- I could see you in those. - I could see myself in those!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15..to the slightly smashed.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- There's a crack in the handle. - A few dents in the top.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Will our teams emerge unscathed?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22We'll soon find out. Let's meet them.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Today, we have two teams of gorgeous married couples
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and you could say that it's a battle of London transport.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33For the Reds, we've got Paul and Sandra and for the Blues,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- we've got Noel and Caroline. Welcome, everybody.- Hello.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Really lovely to see you. Now, Paul, you're a black cab driver.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- I am, Tim, yes.- The first element of the London transport theme today.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- And how long have you been a cabbie for?- Four years now, Tim.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- And how long did it take you to get The Knowledge? - It took me four years as well, Tim.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Did it really?- Yes.- Gosh, that really is dedication, isn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58I must say, I love getting into a black cab and having a natter.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Now, Sandra, you live in London but originally you come from the South of Ireland?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Yes, I do. I come from Dublin and I moved here during the '80s.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- What's your line of work?- Well, I work for a large building firm.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12My job is to ensure customers are happy with their properties.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14If they have any problems, they ring me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16So you have to be terribly diplomatic?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Terribly diplomatic, yes.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I think it's all to do with the Irish charm, don't you?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- I don't know. I hope I've got Irish charm.- Well!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27It's that Blarney Stone you've been kissing.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29So what do you collect, you two?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Well, we have our Royal Doulton Dickensian characters,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- which we inherited.- We inherited them from my father,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39who was a big Dickens fan. I think there's only about six more to go,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42but they're just gathering dust at the moment,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so we really need to get our heads back on and get them collected.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Good luck with that.- Thank you. - I hope you make a whopping profit.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, for the Blues, you couple of smilers.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55It says here, Noel, that you met your wife underground.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57What's that all about? That's a clue.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Yes, we work on the Underground. - There we go.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01So what do you do with the Underground, Noel?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- I work in the control room on the stations.- Do you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Monitors, PAs, that's my job.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Now that must be quite a complicated job, isn't it?- Not complicated.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14It's funny at times. But it's nice, it's a good job.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Oh, good. And what do you do, Caroline, on the Underground?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I'm a customer service assistant. - Are you?- So I work on the gate line
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and I deal with all the questions that get answered.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Yes, so you have to deal with the difficult people.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Yes, you could say that. - Caroline, you're a fitness fanatic.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I do love my fitness. My latest was the pole-dancing.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Pole dancing?!- Yes, two years of pole-dancing exercise,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- shall we say, Tim?- Really?- Yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- And do you do this at home then, or in a club?- No, not in a club.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Sorry.- No, in classes it was, initially. I bought my own pole.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44- You've got your own pole!- Yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Where do you keep your pole? - It's in the sitting room.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- It's not in the bedroom, Tim! - THEY LAUGH
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- You're also a bit of a hoarder. - Terrible.- Tell us about that. - Terrible, terrible, terrible.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I love cooking, and I read a lot of magazines, and in magazines
0:03:59 > 0:04:03you find a lot of recipes that tend to catch my eye...
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Do you cut them out?- I used to, and put them in a nice little folder
0:04:07 > 0:04:11and then, somehow along the way, that kind of slipped
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- and I ended up just keeping the magazines.- The whole magazine?
0:04:13 > 0:04:18And they end up piling up and now they're a fire hazard in my home.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Do you reckon you two are going to cook up a profit, then?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- We can only try.- We can only try, we can only try.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, for a starter, I'm going to give you £300,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- £300 apiece. There you go. - Thank you very much.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- And off you go and very, very good luck.- Thank you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Hmm, and our experts are waiting in the wings to help them out.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44For the Reds today, it's Jeremy 'Auction or Bust!' Lamond.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47And for the Blues, it's Kate 'On the Ball' Bliss.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- OK, Paul, Sandra.- Jeremy.- Here we are. What are the tactics today?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Well, we've been talking at length about this
0:04:56 > 0:05:03and I'd like to get something quirky and '70s and maybe a bit of gold.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- I think a bit of Irish silver. - Irish silver?! Sounds very good.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- They seem to be very profitable. - Yeah?- What about you, hubby?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Cheap and cheerful, I believe.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Cheap and cheerful, so you're a bit conservative about spending the cash?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Definitely, yeah.- OK.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Jeremy, I think this shop here is what we're looking for.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24OK, I'll follow you because I'm not really good at women's dresses.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Walk this way!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Sandra, look at the waistcoat.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Blimey! That's a bit much, even for me.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- That's pretty psychedelic.- Yes.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Yeah, baby.- You've got to like it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42I don't think it's antique, though.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44That's a kaftan there, isn't it?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I don't think there's anything here for us.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I don't want to waste anybody's time.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Oh, shucks!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I thought we were going to go all psychedelic there for a moment.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56OK, Blues, what about you?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57I could see you in those.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- I could see myself in those, to be honest!- We can come back later.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Hmm, fluffy shoes aren't my idea of antique heaven.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Move it on, Blues, eh?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Boxing gloves?- I was looking at those.- Are you sporting?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12So we've gone from fluffy shoes to boxing gloves.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, eh, Caroline? I like your style.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I think we need a bit of a sporting sale
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- to realise their full potential. - Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24OK, we've got 45 minutes left. We've had a look at a few things,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28but now we really need to up the ante and go for our first one.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31What we don't want to do is buy all three in three minutes at the end.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- That would be a real panic.- Right. - We'll go for it.- OK.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Well said, that man.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38There's a lot of choice here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The trick is sorting the wheat from the chaff,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44and the sound wheat at that from the cracked wheat.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Really?- Here we've got the wonderful Art Nouveau
0:06:47 > 0:06:50sinuous vase here with a crimped neck.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54This is marked "Aller Vale", Devon pottery,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57and it's a typical style of the early 1900s.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And here you can see also a similar thing.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's typical of these artisan potters that were working
0:07:03 > 0:07:05just pre-First World War.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09It's a sort of reaction to industrialisation,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13the sort of William Morris movement, sort of going back to basics.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15The only other basic fact about this
0:07:15 > 0:07:20is there's a crack in the handle which won't play well at auction.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22No. If you turned it the other way...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24If you turn it the other way, yes,
0:07:24 > 0:07:28but obviously the buyers aren't blind. They might turn it THAT way.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Probably! - And that's the bit they'll see.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34But...carrying this one is this one as well.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It's a two-for-one deal. - Sure, yes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- What are the prices on these? - Hasn't it got a price on it?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43It has. 18 and 12, that's £30.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Would you do them for £20 for both?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- No.- £25?- Yeah. - What do you think, Jeremy?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- It's worth a go. We've got to get one.- 25, yeah?- Yeah.- OK.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58- First one under the belt.- You all right with that, Sandra?- Sorry, I...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Don't worry, I'm going to get the next one.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- You've used your knowledge, well done.- I've used my knowledge, Jeremy.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- First one, first one. - Thank you, Jeremy.- Cheers.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08So, Paul and Jeremy had that deal
0:08:08 > 0:08:11well sewn up, but Sandra's not agreeing.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I think you're a bit of a crackpot, both of you, for buying that.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Can you hear what she's saying?!- Two crackpots.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21She's got my deaf side, so I didn't hear that at all.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Come on, let's go.- Have faith, that will do well.- OK, let's go.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31It will take more than a bit of faith to fix that cracked handle.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32What's catching your eyes, Blues?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Now, you guys, we are nearly halfway through.- I'm spotting,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40it's just that the cost is just way beyond our means!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I know. You've got such good taste.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44But we've got to think affordable here. I think we've got to...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47And I think we just need to pick the pace up a bit,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50we've got it look at more items to try and find something.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I think we really need to get a first purchase under our belts.- OK.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Let's go.- OK. Let's do it.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Our Blues have yet to buy anything and we're half an hour in.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02What do you think of this, you guys? Do you know what this is called?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- No, not at all. - Well, this is known as Picquot ware.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Mm-hm.- It is English.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11It was made in England, although the name sounds French, doesn't it?
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- And it's very stylish for the time. - It is, it is.
0:09:16 > 0:09:201950s. And it was made, what they did, they started making
0:09:20 > 0:09:27- um, industrial pieces...- Yeah. - ..with a metal alloy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31And then the factory needed to produce something
0:09:31 > 0:09:35with the leftover metal alloy, which is what this special make is.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38And they started making tea and coffee sets,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40and the sales of them just took off.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You've got proper solid wood handles, probably walnut,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46and with this set you've got a tray as well.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- This was pretty buoyant.- Yeah. - It's still selling quite well.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52I think it's slightly gone off the boil at auction.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Off the boil, tea set, do you see what she did there?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- It's nice.- How much did he say?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00He said he would do 75 for the whole set.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01See if I can get him down to 70.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Well, 65 would be better.- I was going to say 65.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Hello, darling.- It's nice. - Hello, sir.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Hi.- What about 65 on this one?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Can't do it. 75 quid. That's it. - Not 70 on it, either, no?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Sorry.- 72.50, maybe?- No.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19No, no? How about 73?
0:10:19 > 0:10:20And I hope you win!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- THEY LAUGH - £74 just for going on.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Oh, I love you.- 74?- Look at that.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Thank you very much. £74, I think, yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30What do you think?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Come on. Presented with two pretty faces like that,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35how can he fail to budge on his price?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- This is a retail price. - Yeah.- I think at auction...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43..I would probably put it at £50 to £70.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46You might just get a private person, in London, though, who has got
0:10:46 > 0:10:50a great retro feel to their apartment and just goes for it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I think go for it.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54- All right.- I've just bargained him down to 74, come on!
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Yeah, you've done your best.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I'm just conscious, we really do need to make a purchase.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Yeah, I'm liking it.- Happy? - Yes.- So, one down. Well done.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03You feeling better now you've got one under your belt?
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Yes, definitely.- Two to go, I'm not going to let you relax, you know.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Let's keep the pressure on. - Quite right, Mrs Bliss.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11There's no time to rest up.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Both teams have only 25 minutes left to find two items.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18We're running out of time, so we better get our skates on.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21You'd come a cropper on skates in this crowd, Jeremy!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Best tread carefully. Carefully but quickly.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- You like that, do you, Caroline? - Yeah, come on, we work for TFL.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30This is right up your street, isn't it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Looks like the back end of a bus to me.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Not you, Caroline.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35I have to tell you that, at auction,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37it looks great, it's a great bit of fun.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41But if you were to put that into auction, you have got...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- ..a very modern toy that's trying to look old.- Mm.- OK?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49These stickers are actually,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52you can probably tell if you look closely, they're just photocopied
0:11:52 > 0:11:55and stuck on. So that is not going to make very much, I'm afraid.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57If we got that for 15, if we can't find nothing
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'll come back for that and get it for 15.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- OK. The lady has spoken. - Yeah, why not?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06Sandra made a bit of a fuss about the boys' cracked pots earlier,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08so what has she found here?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- I really like that.- OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Here we have a Japanese cloisonne...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17pot here. Probably for sake or wine.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- It's got its lid. The only... - How old did you say?
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- It's about 1,900, 1920.- Yeah.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27The only problem that I can see, apart from a nick at the bottom
0:12:27 > 0:12:31of the handle, this is a bit loose and it needs putting back together.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's had a pretty big bash at the top.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35So it's another cracked pot!
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- If we're happy with the price... - The lid's broken.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And Sandra really likes it, then we should go for it.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Japanese is not up in the market at the moment,
0:12:43 > 0:12:44that's the only other problem.
0:12:44 > 0:12:50- But you like it, Sandra, and we're against old Father Time.- OK.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- What do you think, Paul? - We've got to go for something.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- From one cracked pot to another. - Go for it.- Right, let's do this.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We're buying cracked pots today, aren't we?- Yes.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01And we all know how well damaged goods do at auction(!)
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- How much is this, please?- 45.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- That's a little bit damaged here. - Yeah. The best is 40.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Shall we just go for this? - Go for that.- Let's go for that. - We'll go for that.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- We like it?- Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Right, that's two down, Reds, but less than 15 minutes to go,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and the Blues still have two items to find.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- How are you feeling?- I think I'm getting to that panicky stage now.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- OK. Under pressure?- Definitely.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26OK. Well, we've got roughly 15 minutes.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29This is the stage where we have to pull something out of the bag.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30All right?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Now, my feeling is, cos we're so short of time, we should maybe buy
0:13:33 > 0:13:36two items from the same stall and try and do a deal on two.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40- OK...- I'm going to take you to a stall just round the corner.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- There's quite a lot of quirky things. We can have a look.- OK.- OK.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48What do you think of a scent bottle, Caroline?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Can you see that on the end, the cut glass one, just on the end?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yeah.- That's nice. - Do you like that?- Yeah, I do.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57That's going to be more the sort of price range you're looking at.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59It's quite a nice decorative scent bottle,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01cut glass with a nice star-cut base.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Probably Victorian Edwardian, I would say.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Looking at that embossed decoration on the top, I would say probably
0:14:07 > 0:14:09very early part of the 20th century,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11but we've got a hallmark here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15Which is nice, which tells me it's Birmingham and it is, yes,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19very early 20th century, so somewhere around 1910.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Should've had a little stopper in there, so that's missing,
0:14:22 > 0:14:25but other than that, a few dents in the top...
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Oh, well. Damaged goods seem to be all the rage today!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Stallholder said £45,
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- so pretty affordable considering what we've got.- Yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Should we hold on to that and maybe look for something else
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- but we can do a deal on the two? - Yes, yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41With minutes to go, the Reds have gone all arty.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43What about that?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47OK, so what we have here is...
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Persian 20th century. It is hand-painted and look at the detail.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- It's really pretty. - How much is this?- £80.- £80?- Yes.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- I know it's not the oldest thing in the world...- No.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- ..but if you had to go and replace it...- Mm-hm?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- ..you'd have to go to Iran, wouldn't you?- You would.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- And it's signed. Signed.- Signed as well.- Signed as well, here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's a particularly unusual design and look at this beautiful,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13rich, midnight blue border here.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Can we just have a closer look at the vase, darling, please?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23It's certainly Continental porcelain, European.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Very much in the 18th-century style, the Rococo movement.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32And very much using colours that were used at the Sevres factory
0:15:32 > 0:15:34in the 18th century.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38But this is a late 19th, early 20th-century piece, OK?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So it's of that style but later.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- What you've got here is actually printed rather than painted.- Right.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50So on a top quality period piece this would all be hand-painted
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- by the leading painter at the factory.- OK, yes.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57But this, because this is a later, less quality piece, it's printed.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59So, a really decorative piece.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- It's a real eyeful, isn't it? - Yeah.- It's got a lot going for it.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- He said 165 for the two.- With the scent bottle?- With the scent bottle.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13So I make that £45 for the scent bottle and £120 for the vase.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- The decorative marking is not that strong at the moment.- OK.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19So my feeling would be you're looking at probably
0:16:19 > 0:16:25£70-£100 as an estimate. But, hey, I could be wrong.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29You might have somebody in the auction room who falls in love with it and it makes...
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- strong money.- OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33How do you feel about this, Noel? You're very quiet.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37It's pretty. Nothing that I'd buy, but it's pretty.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Well, talking of pretty, your 60 minutes are pretty well up.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42And it's decision time, team.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- I'm 100% sure on that one. I like that.- Is it a wrap?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Have we got number three? - We have. We've got number three.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Yes.- I can think of another reason why you liked it...
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Er...- ..it's not a cracked pot. - It's not a cracked pot.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- We have very little time. - We have, Kate.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- What's the decision?- Well...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I'm happy with it, Kate.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04If Noel has his go on that, he likes that,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07he's putting his head on that, and that could be your one.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- If that's what you want to do. - I think so.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Yes?- I'm good with that.- OK.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Happy?- Yes, we're happy. - Let's do it.- We're happy.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Well, talk about brinkmanship,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20you were almost pipped to the Portobello post there, Blues.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26Crikey Moses, is it busy here or what? Anyway, that's time up.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29So, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33The Reds started off with a matching Art Nouveau vase and bowl set,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36with a little bit of damage, for £25.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40They carried on the theme with a slightly bashed cloisonne pot
0:17:40 > 0:17:41for £40.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47Their final purchase was a brand-new Persian picture for £80.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Now, tell me, Sandra, did you have a lovely time shopping?
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- Absolutely. The quickest hour ever. - Which is your favourite piece, doll?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Our teapot.- Your teapot is your personal favourite?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Do you agree with that, Paul? - Not necessarily, Tim.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- I'm afraid I'm going to disagree with the missus here.- Yes.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Dangerous.- I liked the actual painting, the Persian painting.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07That's your favourite. And what did you spend overall?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08- 145.- You spent 145?
0:18:08 > 0:18:11So I'd like £155 of leftover lolly, please.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16That would be the 155, would it? I trust you. I won't even count it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Straight over to you, Jeremy.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20So you've got quite a tidy lump there, haven't you?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22What I'm going to do, Tim,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24is see if I can find a market somewhere near here...
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- Yes.- ..to spend it in.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Wow.- Well, funnily enough we just happen to have one.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Good luck with that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:18:33 > 0:18:38The Blues kicked off with a Picquot ware tea service for a precise £74.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Then at the last moment they bought a French style vase for £120
0:18:42 > 0:18:46and an Edwardian scent bottle for a further 45 notes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Well, well, well. That was good, wasn't it?- Yes, it was.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53I do like a whopping spend. What was your total spend again, Noel?
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- 239.- That's a good amount, that, a mature amount of money to spend.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Who's got the £61 of leftover lolly? - I do.- You've got it, Caroline?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Thank you. I particularly like the blue nails there.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Which is your favourite piece? - I love the vase.- The vase?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- That's your personal favourite? - Yes, yes.- Do you agree, Noel?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Hmm, no. Perfume bottle, that's my favourite.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16OK. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- I reckon the tea set. - The tea set?- Tea set.- Hmmm.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22And I believe it's going to be the perfume bottle.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25We're all over the shop with your family today, aren't we?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Which is lovely. Anyway, here we go, Kate Bliss.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Lovely, lovely.- A blissful amount of money for Kate Bliss.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32What will you do with it, Kate?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35I do have a little something up here.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- I shall go and see if it's still there, I think.- Oh, right, OK.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41That's exciting. Very good luck with that.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Anyway, we're off to Surrey, almost at the stockbroker belt.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Clandon Park in Surrey is a treasure trove of interesting curios
0:19:58 > 0:19:59and artefacts.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03It's been in the hands of the National Trust since 1956
0:20:03 > 0:20:06and is also the home to one of the finest
0:20:06 > 0:20:11private collections of antiques anywhere in the country.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14In 1968, a bequest was made to the National Trust
0:20:14 > 0:20:18by a Mrs Hannah Gubbay, who asked that her fine
0:20:18 > 0:20:2218th-century furniture, textiles and porcelain should not
0:20:22 > 0:20:25be dispersed, but housed and displayed together
0:20:25 > 0:20:27as a single collection.
0:20:27 > 0:20:32A wealthy lady living in London, Mrs Gubbay was a widow for 40 years.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36She acquired most of her pieces in the 1920s and '30s.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39And here in the state bedroom,
0:20:39 > 0:20:4575% of the furniture on display once belonged to Mrs Gubbay.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Her tastes in furniture were eclectic but refined.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56From the 17th century, we have this William and Mary side table.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59And next door to that, an exquisite,
0:20:59 > 0:21:04tiny, tiny, green japanned bureau bookcase.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Extremely rare. But it's not my favourite piece.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Just have a look at this.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15This piece is truly extraordinary.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You've got to stand square
0:21:16 > 0:21:21and a little bit back to understand what's going on here design-wise.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Because what we've got really are three pagodas.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30You've got this central pagoda with its rising, Chinoiserie,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Chinese lookalike roof, and then a pagoda on either side.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Two more shaped roofs. Each are made up of three sections.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42The sections have a cupboard door
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and the cupboard doors are veneered with Chinamen.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The whole idea of this piece of furniture,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49with all these elaborate elements,
0:21:49 > 0:21:55is to allow a very posh woman to sit at it and do her make-up.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Now, because this piece of furniture is probably by Thomas Chippendale
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and dates from the 1770s,
0:22:02 > 0:22:07it is beautifully made and intriguingly designed.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12For example, there is no obvious way of getting into that cupboard.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16But a secret button on the side, which if I depress it,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21ping, it comes open to reveal a compartment.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25The lower part is a beautifully fitted drawer.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29And all these compartments would have been fitted with porcelain
0:22:29 > 0:22:34or silver dishes to contain more and more war paint.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37And where did Mrs Gubbay find it? In America.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41And she bought it to repatriate it to this country
0:22:41 > 0:22:44to add to her private collection.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46The big question today is, of course,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49are our teams over at the auction going to be able to carve a profit
0:22:49 > 0:22:52out of their private collection?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Well, we've stayed in London for the auction.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Criterion Auctions Wandsworth is where we're at
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- and Addison Gelpy is our auctioneer. Addison.- Hi, Tim.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Splendido to be here. - Welcome, welcome, welcome.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20Anyway, Aller Vale, how are you on selling West Country pottery
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- in these auctions? - We can, we do sell them.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27They do come up regularly, not huge money, though, unfortunately.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31I have had to put a very attractive price to suck the punters in
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- to go for them.- What's your sucking in price?- 20-£40.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- Well, that's not too bad, £25, they paid.- That's OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39It's got a good chance, then.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Next up is their Japanese cloisonne, slightly crushed sake pot.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48I hope you're not going to be too "sarky" about this.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'm going to have to be a little bit sarky about it,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53unfortunately, cos it's a cloissone and people like it
0:23:53 > 0:23:56in mint condition and because the handle's been a bit crushed,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58the enamel's gone a bit funny,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I've had to put an attractive price of 30-60
0:24:00 > 0:24:02and that's a bit hopeful, unfortunately.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04What does "That's a bit hopeful" mean?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Does that mean really what you'd like to put on it is 10-£20?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08- Yes.- Right.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11- Because they paid 40.- Oh, dear.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- We'll see what happens. You never know.- Well, quite.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Anyway, next up is the modern Persian picture.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's got a nice little mosaic, Moorish sort of influence on it
0:24:19 > 0:24:22very bright, very decorative, we'll see how it goes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- It was probably painted in about 1980, don't you think?- Maybe...
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- 20, 30...- Maybe 1979, 1980, circa.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- But not very old?- No. - No. But decorative.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- What did they pay?- Never you mind about that. What's your estimate?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Cunning.- You're a good salesman!
0:24:38 > 0:24:43No, 40 to 80 on it, a nice wide estimate. It's a decorative thing.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45- It may do OK.- They paid 80.- Ooh...
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Which is quite a long way up there, isn't it?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- OK.- I make it that we've got two steep uphill struggles here,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52in which case they'll need their bonus buy,
0:24:52 > 0:24:54so let's go and have a look at it!
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Now, Sandra, Paul. Are you excited about this?- Absolutely.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You gave Jeremy £155. Jeremy, what did you spend 155 on?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Well, Tim, as usual I've gone potty.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Here we have a Japanese ginger jar, I suppose you could call it.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13About 1,900 in date. It's signed in hand enamel.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17We all know that the Chinese market is on fire at the moment
0:25:17 > 0:25:21but the Japanese market is catching up. You gave me £155.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Did you expect me to spend it all? - Well, I hope not.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- Not all of it anyway, but... - So you don't like it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31No, it's OK, but I don't know if it's worth 150-odd pounds.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32What would you say?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- 60?- Bang on. He's a valuer.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Wow.- Well done.- You got it. Spot on.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39What do you think, Sandra?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41I love it. I think... I love pottery.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Could you live with that? - Tell you what,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45take it, because I know it's a bit fragile.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I'll take the top off like that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50I always think if you hold something, Jay, don't you think,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- you've got to get the kind of... - You've got to feel it.- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Of course you may not need to do a scrap at that moment.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00But if you do, it's nice to know all the detail behind it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02But right now, for the audience at home,
0:26:02 > 0:26:05let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Jeremy's pot.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09What about that for a gorgeous colour? That's green, isn't it?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Very green indeed. It's a nice ginger jar. It's Japanese.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Turn of the century, I would say.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19And it's in good condition, no cracks or anything. Hand-painted.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22We'll put about 50 to 100 on it. We'll see what we do.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Jeremy paid 60.- It's got a good chance.- And he rates it.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I think it's a really good thing. Anyway, there we go.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32There's some hope there. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- A weird old mixture over here from Kate Bliss.- Yes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40First up, the Picquot ware tea service. Any good?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Um, retro is in now and this is very retro.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47It's got nice walnut handles there.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49It's all there, ready to go.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54I haven't put huge money on it, about 40 to 80, nice wide estimate.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Hoping we can get a bit of interest in it, but it's not going to make...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- I can't see it making top end of estimate.- Your estimate's 40 to 80.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03They paid £74. Just depends on who's here.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now, the two-handled vase,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09which I have to say is my all-time worst object.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Continental porcelain, transfer printed,
0:27:12 > 0:27:17- imported by the- bucket-load. Yeah. I can't see it doing very well.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- I've put a very low estimate on there at...- Be brave!
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- 20-40 and I'm hopeful that... - Even at 20-40 you're hopeful?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Our Caroline went into complete overdrive for this.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30She seriously loved it. You can't believe this, £120.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34OK. I... I, um...
0:27:34 > 0:27:36I am sure that, if she makes that,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I will be buying everybody drinks here tonight.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41It's a monster price to pay, isn't it?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45If you were at the dealer that went off with £120,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47you'd be very happy, wouldn't you?
0:27:47 > 0:27:52You'd go home to your missus and say you had a really good day at Portobello. Ha!
0:27:52 > 0:27:56Anyway, next up is the silver-topped perfume bottle.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00OK. It's Birmingham 1,900, the mark there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02It's in fairly good condition.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03Yeah, I think it could do quite well.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I've put an estimate of...
0:28:05 > 0:28:0820 to 40 on it, because we do get a lot of it
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- and hopefully it'll make top end. - OK. £45 is what it needs to make.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15But that's nothing in relation to the monster loss
0:28:15 > 0:28:17on the two-handled vase.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19And they're definitely going to need their bonus buy,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- so let's go have a look at it. - Let's have a look.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Noel, Caroline, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is indeed.
0:28:24 > 0:28:30What did your girl spend the £61 on? Kate Bliss, show us your wares.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Well, just before I reveal,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35I ought to say that I was quite bossy on the shop
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- with Caroline and Noel.- No(!)
0:28:37 > 0:28:41And, in fact, Caroline fell in love with a pretty hideous
0:28:41 > 0:28:45- London bus model.- Oh, yeah! - So I tried to make up for it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- Oh, no.- It was pretty hideous, wasn't it?- It was.- It was.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52So I have bought you a little matchbox. No, I haven't.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I've bought you a little...
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Awww!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- ..London tram trolley. - Oh, that's excellent.- A trolley bus.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- Oh, I do like that.- That's nice. - This, I would say, is early '60s.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- This actual piece.- That is nice.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10So, go on. How much did you spend on it, Kate?
0:29:10 > 0:29:14Well, it's in good nick, it's got its box.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- I spent £15.- Oh!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- With the box.- That's not bad.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Reckon a profit?- Not bad at all.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Well, do you know, if the right person's here, there might be
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- a little profit there, I think. - That's a good old buy, that was.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34Well, this is going to be London Underground versus the tram service.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Anyway, perfect.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Meanwhile, for the audience at home
0:29:38 > 0:29:42let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's tram.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Well, there we go. Take you back to your childhood.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I like it. Nice double-tiered tram.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's not in play-worn condition, is it?
0:29:50 > 0:29:53I know the top is detached, which it shouldn't be.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56But the paintwork's pretty crisp. What's your estimate, Addison?
0:29:56 > 0:29:57I put 25 to 40 on it.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I think it's attractive and could get some interest on the net.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I think you'll get a hug from Kate for that, she only paid £15.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Lovely.- Fingers crossed. - We'll cross everything.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- You taking the sale today?- I am. And I'll sell hard for your teams
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and hopefully we make them a profit.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- That's the attitude. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Thanks.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Now, Sandra, Paul.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Mm-hm.- Are you feeling OK?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Yes, feeling very confident. - Are you?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- A little.- Well, not so very then.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32WEAKLY: Yeah.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35I'm glad you are. Because I'm not. I'm not that confident!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- If people like pots, then we're in luck.- Yes, quite. Here we go.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Now, here come the West Country pots.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Aller Vale Art Nouveau three-handled vase
0:30:45 > 0:30:46and matching crimped bowl.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Nice Torquay pottery all the way up from the West Country now, folks.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Lovely little bit of blue and white in clean, clean condition.
0:30:53 > 0:30:58I've got interest here at ten and 12 and £15 with me.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Any advance on 15?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Bit more.- 20. 22. One more takes it, sir.- One more.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06At £22 here, any advance on 22? Still with me at 22.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- One more, we'll take it. - One more, please.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15Selling then at 25.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- £25, lovely. That's what we like.- Good start.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21So, will the same turn out to be
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- the case on the enamel pot? Here comes the cloisonne.- OK.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Lot 85 is a Japanese Meiji cloisonne enamel teapot and cover.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Slightly AF, as described on the handle, but a pretty thing,
0:31:33 > 0:31:35ready to go, sake sort of pot.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I've got interest here at 18 and 20 and two.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- Thought he said 80!- So did I.- In the room now at £30, any advance on 30?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Any advance on 30? Any advance on 30?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- I'm going to sell.- Please... - At £30, then...
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Quite close, you know, £30 is only minus ten. That is bad luck.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56This is...
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- TIM WINCES - ..this is the one now.
0:31:58 > 0:32:03Lot 86 is a very pretty modern Persian picture in a Kitani frame.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Very Moorish influence. Over in the back there, thanks very much, sir.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12And interest with me at 22, 25. On commission at 25 here.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Any advance on 25? Surely worth a little bit more than that, folks.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Any advance on 25, can I have 28 from somebody, please?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23At £25 then, selling to commission at 25.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Internet, are you around? Sold.
0:32:25 > 0:32:2925. That's five off 30 which is £55,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32minus 55 plus the ten.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Overall then you're minus 65 smacks.- Oh!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- Might as well go with the ginger jar.- We will.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- You're going to go with the ginger? - Absolutely, yes.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- We've got faith in Jeremy here. - OK. Here we go.

0:32:46 > 0:32:47and cover.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55- With me at 45.- Come on. - With me at 45,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57surely worth a little bit more.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Multitude of bids, I must start at 45 but one more will take it.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Do we have 50? With me at 45.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06I'm going to sell at £45, fair and final warning at 45.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- I don't believe it.- £45.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Bad luck, Jay, that's minus 65, 70...
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Well, you might as well round it up to £80.- I was looking for 100.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Minus £80.- Oh, well. - Oh, dear.- Not to worry.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18The big question today - will it be a winning score?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- So don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- We won't.- Not a scrap.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Bad luck.- Never mind.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- Not at all.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You don't want to know, I tell you!

0:33:58 > 0:34:02Any advance on 30? In the room now at 30. And back to me at 35.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Any advance on 35?
0:34:04 > 0:34:09Any advance on 35? Selling then at £35 to commission, at 35.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13Oh, no, that's minus 39. We thought that was going to do better.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Dear, oh, dear. Now,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17stand by then, here comes the two-handled porcelain vase.

0:34:33 > 0:34:3725, 28 on a maiden bid of 28. Do we have £30, surely, somewhere?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- 28?!- Could be 50, eh? At 28. £30 to get me going,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43but I'm going to sell it at 28, cheeky bid at £28.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Selling then on the maiden bid of £28.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Oh, no!- Oh, dear, Caroline, £28.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54Is that... It is, it's minus 92. Minus 92's a hit!
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Now, moving on, to your perfume bottle. Here it is.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03Interest already with me all over the place at 25, 28 and 30.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05With me at 30 on commission.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I've got to start the bidding here at 30, any advance on 30?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- Should have started at that. - 35, someone.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Got to start and finish at 30. - Anyone.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14£30, thank you very much.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- Sold.- Oh, no, £30 is minus 15.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20This is coming fast and furious, 131, 141, 146...
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- 146. 146.- Ouch!
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Oh, guys.- And you spent 239. 146.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31146 down the old, down the old underground!
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Anyway, listen, what are we going to do about the modern tram?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- Are you going with the bonus buy? - Oh, God, yeah.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39- Get the credit back, if we possibly can?- Sure?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- 100%, Kate.- We're going with Kate's bonus buy. Paid 15.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45So if he's right you'll double your money again, so here we go.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47..model tram car.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51London Transport in original box, and I have interest here at 15,
0:35:51 > 0:35:5318 and 20 with me.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Any advance on 20? Going to start the bidding at 20.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Surely worth more than that.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00It's going to sell on the maiden bid of £20.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- More than that. - Internet, where are you?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05And £20 here. 22 I'll take.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£20 it is then, selling at 20.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10£20, a profit's a profit, plus £5...
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- Well done, Kate. See? - ..which reduces, overall, to £141.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20£141. Unfortunately it's a minus score in front of that.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25But you never know, minus £141 could be a winning score today.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Could be!- It could be! That's the point.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Well, well, well, have we been communicating, the Reds
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- and the Blues?- Oh, no.- Not at all?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Well, frankly, you've not got a lot to communicate about
0:36:40 > 0:36:43because today has been an all-round complete disaster.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47And it's simply a question of scale today when it comes to losses,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50and the team that have got the whopping loss
0:36:50 > 0:36:54of all whopping losses are, of course, the Blues.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55- Ah!- Ah!
0:36:55 > 0:36:59£141 worth of losses.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Ssh!- All right, Kate. (£141 worth of losses!)
0:37:03 > 0:37:07I'm not going to detail exactly what the losses were. There's no point.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- Have you had a good time? - I've enjoyed every minute of it.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12You've been very, very sporting about this
0:37:12 > 0:37:14and taken it on the chin and I admire you for that.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Cos it could've gone the other way, couldn't it? Bad luck.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19But we've loved having you on the show.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24The victors today, though, who win by only losing £80, are the Reds.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well done, Reds. Pretty good, isn't it? Anyway, you had a good time?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Great time, Tim.- Great day. - Good for you, Sandra.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30We've loved having you.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?- Yes!
