Our continuing mission is to find buried treasures

0:00:000:00:04

up and down the length and breadth of Britain.

0:00:040:00:07

Today, we've headed east to Lincolnshire,

0:00:070:00:10

so, let's go Bargain Hunting. Yeah!

0:00:100:00:13

Hopefully amongst the thousands of items

0:00:400:00:43

here at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Homes Show,

0:00:430:00:47

our teams will be able to garner a few gems.

0:00:470:00:50

Let's have a quick squint at what's coming up.

0:00:500:00:53

The reds attempt to speak Japanese.

0:00:530:00:56

SPEAKS GIBBERISH

0:00:560:00:58

"A really good deal."

0:00:590:01:01

And the blue team have a side-splitting time!

0:01:020:01:04

Ooh! Oh, no!

0:01:070:01:09

No-o-o!

0:01:090:01:11

Oh, what a disaster!

0:01:110:01:13

Now let's go and meet them.

0:01:150:01:17

On Bargain Hunt today we have an aunt and niece team for the reds.

0:01:180:01:22

And for the blues, we've got a couple of friends.

0:01:220:01:24

Close friends.

0:01:240:01:26

For the reds it's Pat and Helen,

0:01:260:01:28

and for the blues it's Coco and Raj.

0:01:280:01:31

-Hello, everyone.

-Hello!

-Lovely to see you.

0:01:310:01:33

Pat, it says here you're retired. What did you do when you were working?

0:01:330:01:37

I was a shorthand typist

0:01:370:01:39

and after having children I became a nursery nurse

0:01:390:01:42

and worked with partially-sighted and moderate learning children.

0:01:420:01:47

Tell us the story about when you went to the wrong wedding.

0:01:470:01:50

A colleague at work invited us to her daughter's evening reception.

0:01:500:01:55

And when I got there, the bride asked me who I was

0:01:550:01:59

and I said I worked with her mum.

0:01:590:02:01

-She said, "Sorry, my mum's been dead for five years."

-Oh, my!

0:02:010:02:06

-So I made a quick exit!

-You were at the wrong wedding!

0:02:060:02:09

-Yes. A week early!

-Absolutely incredible.

0:02:090:02:11

I understand you're also passionate about collecting antiques.

0:02:110:02:15

I love going to antiques fairs. I go to Newark and Peterborough.

0:02:150:02:18

-All round here.

-Yes.

-Up the road.

0:02:180:02:20

Good.

0:02:200:02:22

Have you ever found any real treasure?

0:02:220:02:24

-No!

-No?

0:02:240:02:26

It doesn't have to be worth a fortune.

0:02:260:02:28

We'd just like you to make profits today, please, on Bargain Hunt!

0:02:280:02:32

-Yes.

-Helen, what do you do to earn a crust?

-I'm a hairdresser.

0:02:320:02:36

-I've got a small hairdressing business.

-Gents or ladies?

0:02:360:02:39

-Mostly ladies, but some gents.

-Yes.

0:02:390:02:42

-The older gentlemen or young ones?

-Any. We don't mind!

-You don't mind.

0:02:420:02:46

-It says your eldest client is 93.

-She is. And very sprightly she is, too.

0:02:460:02:51

-I bet she's got lovely hair.

-She has.

0:02:510:02:53

What about your antique knowledge? What's that like?

0:02:530:02:55

-Almost nil!

-Is it?

-It is, I'm afraid, yes.

0:02:550:02:58

-Looking forward to spending our money today?

-I am, yes!

0:02:580:03:01

-Are you?

-Yes.

-It's a nice idea, isn't it?

-It is!

0:03:010:03:03

I hope you spend the lot. How do you think you'll get on?

0:03:030:03:06

-Brilliant.

-So you're confident?

-We are.

-Hopefully!

0:03:060:03:10

-Not nervous about anything?

-Yes!

0:03:100:03:13

-Like what?

-Very nervous.

-What are you nervous about?

0:03:130:03:16

The shopping will be easy. You'll find some lovely things.

0:03:160:03:19

The experts are gorgeous. Wait till you see a cameraman! Ooh!

0:03:190:03:24

They're that muscley. Anyway, good luck.

0:03:240:03:26

-Thank you.

-Have good fun.

0:03:260:03:28

Now, Coco Chanel and Raj. How are you two?

0:03:280:03:32

-Good, thank you.

-Where did you first meet, Coco?

0:03:320:03:35

-We went to primary school together, actually.

-You never did!

0:03:350:03:39

We reconnected when we had our first job together.

0:03:390:03:43

Then we went to college together. We went to university together.

0:03:430:03:47

-We lived together for a year. And here we are!

-Isn't that brilliant?

-Yes.

0:03:470:03:51

So you know each other's tastes, then, when it comes to antiques and stuff?

0:03:510:03:54

-Yes. We're very different, aren't we?

-Very.

-Very different.

0:03:540:03:57

Are you going to agree on anything?

0:03:570:03:59

-Probably not, but we'll share.

-What do you do for a living, Coco?

0:03:590:04:04

I'm a make-up artist. I work for a leading brand within the industry.

0:04:040:04:08

-I also freelance.

-Is that good fun?

-It's amazing.

0:04:080:04:12

I love it so much. It provides me with so many opportunities.

0:04:120:04:15

-Raj, it says here you're good with numbers.

-That's correct, Tim.

0:04:150:04:19

I did Accounting and Finance at uni.

0:04:190:04:22

I'm currently working with my dad who's a chartered certified accountant.

0:04:220:04:28

What side of accountancy do you like? The tax, or what?

0:04:280:04:30

-Yeah, I do like tax.

-I hate the tax!

0:04:300:04:33

What are you going to buy today?

0:04:330:04:36

-I have an interest in clocks.

-Are you with him with this, Coco?

0:04:360:04:40

-In the clock department?

-She has to be.

-This is his department.

0:04:400:04:43

-You're going to go with the flow, are you?

-Yes. I'm more into French furniture and pretty things.

0:04:430:04:49

-Anything to do with make-up. Compacts.

-Oh, God, yes.

-Lipsticks, all that kind of stuff.

0:04:490:04:53

There are lovely things to buy out there. This is going to be exciting.

0:04:530:04:57

Good. £300 apiece. The money moment.

0:04:570:04:59

There's your £300. You know the rules. Your experts await.

0:04:590:05:01

And off you go! And very, very good luck!

0:05:010:05:05

I really do hate paying the tax!

0:05:050:05:08

So, who's helping out the teams today?

0:05:080:05:10

Battling on behalf of the reds is expert David Harper.

0:05:110:05:14

And on sparkling form for the blues is fellow expert Kate Bliss.

0:05:160:05:20

So, £300 and one hour to shop.

0:05:220:05:24

Let's get to it!

0:05:240:05:26

-So I'm sensing some nerves here, girls.

-Just a wee bit.

0:05:260:05:30

Have you got anything in mind that you'd really like to buy today?

0:05:300:05:33

I've just spotted some vintage clothing, which would be lovely.

0:05:330:05:37

You are a seasoned antiques buyer, I hear?

0:05:370:05:40

Well, I try to be.

0:05:400:05:41

Try.

0:05:410:05:42

I like clocks, watches.

0:05:420:05:44

-Shall we try and do our best?

-Yes.

-OK. One hour. Come on, girls.

-Come on.

0:05:440:05:49

-Let's go see what we can find.

-Yes.

0:05:490:05:51

-Is that silver, do you think?

-I don't know.

0:05:510:05:53

-Looks quite old, doesn't it?

-It's got age, hasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:05:560:05:59

Nice frame. But is it silver?

0:05:590:06:01

Pat, you're an experienced antiques buyer.

0:06:010:06:03

From what you're saying, I bet it's not.

0:06:030:06:06

No, I'm not giving anything away.

0:06:060:06:08

-I can't see any mark on it.

-No.

-Let's have a look.

0:06:080:06:11

You'll find them inside the decoration.

0:06:110:06:13

Probably at the bottom or at the top.

0:06:130:06:16

-What's that there? Is that a mark?

-No.

0:06:160:06:19

It might be easier if you asked the stallholder!

0:06:190:06:21

So you don't spend ten hours looking for hallmarks!

0:06:210:06:24

-Any hallmarks on this? (VENDOR)

-I haven't found one.

0:06:240:06:27

He hasn't found them either!

0:06:270:06:29

-What sort of money is it?

-120.

-120. I think, um...

0:06:290:06:33

Ah, well. That just doesn't rock their boat.

0:06:330:06:36

But there's plenty of time ahead. Now, what's Coco spotted?

0:06:360:06:39

That looks cool. That glass box thing.

0:06:390:06:43

-The what?

-The glass box thing.

0:06:430:06:45

The glass box thing?

0:06:450:06:47

That'll be the glass cabinet, Coco.

0:06:470:06:49

Now, this is, I would say, Eastern European.

0:06:490:06:54

What's that in the middle?

0:06:540:06:56

"Vitrina" is the word for vitrine, or glass cabinet.

0:06:560:07:00

But I don't know what that means, I'm afraid!

0:07:000:07:02

Can't translate that.

0:07:020:07:04

You've got to ask yourself, "Who would buy it?" What would it be used for?

0:07:040:07:07

-I don't know. I couldn't put it in a category, to be honest.

-No.

0:07:070:07:12

I think it would be a great finishing piece for a shop, maybe.

0:07:120:07:16

Or on a set.

0:07:160:07:18

But I don't think it's the sort of piece that people would want in their house.

0:07:180:07:23

No. Yeah.

0:07:230:07:25

-I think move on. What do you think?

-Let's move on.

-Come on.

0:07:250:07:28

Bad luck, blues. Keep hunting.

0:07:280:07:30

You lead.

0:07:300:07:31

He doesn't look that impressed!

0:07:310:07:33

What are these made of, David?

0:07:330:07:35

Ah, come on, Pat. You have bought hundreds of objects.

0:07:350:07:38

You tell me!

0:07:380:07:40

Go on! What do you reckon?

0:07:400:07:43

-Oh, is it...

-Is it bronze?

-It can't be. It's heavy.

-Yes.

0:07:440:07:47

Style. Where are they from?

0:07:470:07:49

Don't panic just yet, Pat!

0:07:500:07:52

I haven't a clue, David!

0:07:520:07:54

-Your life doesn't depend on it!

-Are they Japanese?

0:07:540:07:57

-Japanese. Well done, Helen.

-Oh, are they?

0:07:570:07:59

I'm looking at the carving on the birds.

0:07:590:08:01

-I thought...

-Yes. Any markings on the base? No. Nothing on there.

0:08:010:08:05

Oh, that one does have a mark on it!

0:08:050:08:07

-Oh, right!

-Let's have a look.

0:08:070:08:09

-What sort of price are they?

-Luckily for us, Patricia speaks fluent Japanese, so..

0:08:090:08:15

-So they're still 19...

-Circa 1900.

-Right.

0:08:180:08:21

-Do you like them?

-Yeah.

-Yes, I do like them, yes.

0:08:220:08:25

I think they'd be 30, 40, 50, 60 in the sale.

0:08:250:08:29

See what we think for trade price. What are we thinking?

0:08:290:08:32

-Please be kind!

-Please be kind!

0:08:320:08:35

I have overheard what you've been saying!

0:08:350:08:37

-I can't do much better than 80 quid.

-Can't you?

0:08:380:08:41

-No.

-75 at a push.

0:08:410:08:43

-What do you want to do?

-It's entirely up to you.

0:08:430:08:45

-I like them. I'm happy with them. It's just...

-The thing is,

0:08:450:08:49

they're very good quality.

0:08:490:08:51

-And they should...

-And they are a pair.

-They're a pair.

0:08:510:08:53

-Couldn't take 70?

-Go on. 70.

0:08:530:08:56

-Would you? You're lovely.

-If they were 30 quid in auction, I'd buy 'em!

0:08:560:08:59

Oh, you are lovely! Do you think they'll make that at auction?

0:08:590:09:02

-What, £30?

-No, 70!

0:09:020:09:04

I want to get me golden gavel!

0:09:050:09:07

They all want the golden gavel!

0:09:070:09:09

We'll go with it. Thank you.

0:09:090:09:12

-Right. Lovely. Thanks a lot.

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you!

0:09:120:09:14

Well done, girls. That's the first item bought for the reds.

0:09:140:09:17

There's a clock. That's very '30s, really, isn't it?

0:09:190:09:22

Oak case, and very '30s in the face. In the dial.

0:09:220:09:28

But fairly standard.

0:09:280:09:30

-There's some glass on there, Helen.

-Let's have a look.

0:09:300:09:33

It's got no fantastic quality, that, at all.

0:09:330:09:35

-No.

-Let's get a price, just out of interest.

0:09:350:09:37

What's the best price you could do on that?

0:09:370:09:40

Well...

0:09:400:09:41

Deep intake of breath, there!

0:09:410:09:44

24. I know it sounds poor, but I paid 20 for it.

0:09:440:09:48

Right. Girls, what do you think?

0:09:480:09:51

-I think I'd like to look at some others.

-OK, then.

0:09:510:09:55

I love the shape of the bottles. Look at that.

0:09:550:09:57

The lovely thing about this is you've got enamelling on the top.

0:09:570:10:01

That's enamelling where the metal is engraved first

0:10:010:10:05

and the enamel laid over the top, to give that lovely pattern.

0:10:050:10:08

And the bottles are shaped to all fit together. Isn't that sweet?

0:10:080:10:12

-Yeah. Really cute.

-But it's 195. I think we'll put that back!

0:10:120:10:16

-We're not doing very well, are we?

-No. Shall we move on?

-Shall we?

0:10:160:10:20

We seem to have been moving on a lot.

0:10:200:10:21

But not actually buying anything!

0:10:210:10:23

What have we spotted now, then?

0:10:230:10:25

-We quite like these.

-All right, then. Tell me why.

0:10:250:10:29

-Because they're pretty. We like the colours.

-They're attractive, and a pair.

0:10:290:10:33

They've got a Satsuma look to them.

0:10:330:10:36

Because of the raised decoration.

0:10:360:10:38

Anything that's got a raised decoration...

0:10:380:10:39

If it's Japanese, which these are,

0:10:390:10:41

you've got raised decoration and that crackle glaze behind here.

0:10:410:10:45

-It could be described as Satsuma.

-Right.

0:10:450:10:49

HE SPEAKS GIBBERISH

0:10:490:10:51

"A really good deal."

0:10:520:10:53

A really good deal. A really good deal can be had here.

0:10:530:10:56

What sort of age would they be, do you think?

0:10:560:10:59

Similar to your Japanese ones.

0:10:590:11:01

There's a Japanese theme going on here. I can sense it!

0:11:010:11:04

They're circa 1900.

0:11:040:11:06

-Made for this market. Made for the European market.

-OK.

0:11:060:11:09

Let's get a price. Hi, there.

0:11:090:11:12

What kind of... What kind of price on this pair?

0:11:120:11:15

-65?

-I can do a bit better for you.

0:11:160:11:20

-58.

-58.

0:11:200:11:22

Could you do 55?

0:11:220:11:24

-I could.

-A little bit more, do you think?

0:11:240:11:27

-They're being hard.

-They are being hard.

0:11:270:11:29

-We're trying, we're really trying.

-We're very trying!

0:11:290:11:32

-52 at the very best.

-If we had that glass vase...

0:11:330:11:37

-I'll do you 70 for the two.

-70 for two.

0:11:370:11:40

Sure you couldn't make them 50?

0:11:400:11:41

-Go on.

-Make them 50. Girls, 50?

0:11:410:11:44

-Oh, that's really good.

-Are we going to do it?

-Yes.

-Thank you very much.

0:11:440:11:47

Brilliant!

0:11:470:11:49

That's the second item in the bag for the reds.

0:11:490:11:51

They're two-nil up.

0:11:510:11:53

So, at the half-way point, how are the teams feeling?

0:11:540:11:57

We're feeling quite confident at the moment.

0:11:570:11:59

-I'm nervous. Are you?

-I'm not nervous at all. We've got time.

0:11:590:12:04

We can do this.

0:12:040:12:06

We've got half an hour left, and I'd like a nice piece of glassware,

0:12:060:12:10

if we can find one.

0:12:100:12:11

We need to do it. We need to buy three things. Let's do it.

0:12:110:12:14

Oh, look at that mirror.

0:12:140:12:16

Kate, the little mirror there.

0:12:170:12:20

-It's beautiful.

-It's not that old.

0:12:200:12:22

It's got damage. But it's £10 if it's any good.

0:12:220:12:26

£10.

0:12:260:12:27

-Will it make a tenner at auction?

-I'm not sure.

0:12:270:12:31

Do you want to offer me some less?

0:12:310:12:33

A really silly amount would be a fiver. But no less than that whatsoever.

0:12:330:12:37

A fiver. I think that's good for what it is.

0:12:370:12:41

It's cheap, but it's right up my alley!

0:12:410:12:45

Might be up your alley, Raj, but will it turn Coco on?

0:12:450:12:48

I don't think at auction you'll get a huge amount for it.

0:12:480:12:51

If it wasn't damaged, I'd say it's worth a punt.

0:12:510:12:54

But for me, that puts me off.

0:12:540:12:57

-OK. We'll go with your gut.

-I think we can do better than that.

0:12:570:13:00

But I have spotted a rather nice umbrella here.

0:13:000:13:05

This has got a lovely bamboo handle.

0:13:050:13:08

A very attractive tassel here which is quite nice.

0:13:080:13:11

And I'll just open it up

0:13:110:13:14

and see what sort of condition the actual fabric is in.

0:13:140:13:19

But I think you've got something that's perhaps more affordable,

0:13:190:13:25

vintage and yet...

0:13:250:13:28

Oh, no!

0:13:300:13:31

Whoops!

0:13:320:13:34

A great big split!

0:13:340:13:36

What's going on there in the fabric?

0:13:360:13:39

Oh, no. Did I just do that?

0:13:390:13:41

Yes, Kate. That was you, love.

0:13:410:13:43

Oh, what a disaster!

0:13:450:13:47

Oh, that's such a shame. The handle's lovely.

0:13:470:13:50

The handle alone isn't going to keep the rain out!

0:13:500:13:52

There's a nice label in there.

0:13:520:13:55

"Paragon".

0:13:550:13:57

Oh, no, I don't believe that.

0:13:570:13:59

What could you do it for, anyway?

0:13:590:14:01

-Four quid. That's a ridiculous amount.

-Four quid.

0:14:010:14:04

-I can't even...

-3.50.

0:14:040:14:06

-Don't do 50s.

-Three.

0:14:060:14:08

I'll say yes cos with the split now I'm going to struggle.

0:14:100:14:13

But people do buy the frame and the tassel.

0:14:130:14:15

So the tassel alone is worth that, to be fair. So, yeah.

0:14:150:14:19

Shall we say three?

0:14:190:14:21

I think we should go for it. I love the tassels.

0:14:210:14:23

-It's my favourite part.

-Yeah?

0:14:230:14:24

Put it this way. If we put it in the auction, do the button up,

0:14:240:14:29

and just hope nobody opens it!

0:14:290:14:31

-Are you happy?

-Yes.

-Three pounds, it's done.

0:14:310:14:33

-OK.

-Thank you very much. And I'm so sorry.

-It's fine!

0:14:330:14:38

An embarrassed Kate, eh?

0:14:380:14:40

But at last the blues have secured their first item.

0:14:400:14:42

With 25 minutes left, perhaps they'll romp home high and dry.

0:14:420:14:46

Well, maybe not so much of the dry, eh?

0:14:460:14:48

Guess what that is?

0:14:490:14:50

Here we go again!

0:14:500:14:52

-It's not Japanese?

-Yes, it is Japanese!

0:14:520:14:55

It is positively Japanese.

0:14:550:14:58

A lacquered Japanese box.

0:14:580:15:00

What do you think that would make?

0:15:000:15:02

-It's worth ten quid. That's all.

-Is that all?

-That's all it's worth.

0:15:020:15:05

-Ten, 20 pounds.

-Perhaps we should go for a £10 spree!

-Depends how much it is.

0:15:050:15:08

How much for the Japanese box?

0:15:080:15:10

Er, 20.

0:15:100:15:12

-20. Yes.

-No. But I like it.

-Yeah.

-I think it's lovely.

0:15:120:15:16

Time is fast ticking away,

0:15:160:15:18

but, as ever, it seems Kate has her eye on the clock.

0:15:180:15:21

Now, this is very Art Deco in style.

0:15:210:15:24

You've got to be careful of these marble clock garnitures.

0:15:240:15:28

It's called a garniture because you've got the clock and two bits either side.

0:15:280:15:32

So it's made for a mantelpiece. It's called a garniture.

0:15:320:15:37

but there are a lot of reproductions around because Art Deco is quite popular, quite commercial.

0:15:370:15:42

So you've got to look at little features to see if it's a period one

0:15:420:15:46

or a later copy because it makes a lot of difference to the price.

0:15:460:15:49

This one, if you look at the bevel around the outside of the dial,

0:15:490:15:53

which is plated, you can see there are little nicks in it, or little places

0:15:530:16:00

where the plate has worn, which is a really good sign.

0:16:000:16:04

That tells me, along with the condition of the dial,

0:16:040:16:07

where there are a few scratches, it's not perfect,

0:16:070:16:10

it tells me, I would say, this is a period Art Deco 1930s piece, OK?

0:16:100:16:16

What do you think?

0:16:160:16:17

It's not personally what I'd go for.

0:16:170:16:20

but the fact it's marble makes me think it's worth some money.

0:16:200:16:25

I really like it. It's got a nice contrast with the marble. Very nice.

0:16:250:16:31

We do like the look of the marble clock. Could you go to 75?

0:16:310:16:38

-I couldn't go that low, sorry.

-Could you do the flat 100?

0:16:380:16:41

-I'll do it 100, then. Go on.

-Could you?

-100.

0:16:410:16:44

What do you think, guys? £100. Round figure.

0:16:440:16:46

Is it worth a gamble?

0:16:460:16:48

This is Raj's thing.

0:16:480:16:50

-Do you think so?

-I think it's worth it.

0:16:500:16:54

-Shall we do it?

-Yeah, might as well. You only live once!

0:16:540:16:57

I think so. Worst scenario, I think, £70 at auction.

0:16:570:17:02

Best scenario, you might get over the 100.

0:17:020:17:04

It is a gamble, but it's a great thing.

0:17:040:17:05

I think you've got yourself a deal.

0:17:050:17:08

-Happy?

-Yeah. £100.

0:17:080:17:11

-We'll do it, please.

-Thank you.

0:17:110:17:13

Great. That's item number two for the blues.

0:17:130:17:16

I'm glad to say the blues finally seem to be working

0:17:160:17:19

as one focused and united team!

0:17:190:17:21

-This way?

-That way.

-That way?

0:17:210:17:23

-Yeah.

-I think so.

-No-one listens to me!

0:17:230:17:26

Well, maybe not!

0:17:260:17:27

-(MAN)

-Can I give you a time check?

0:17:270:17:29

-Yes.

-You've got just over seven minutes.

-Oh, my word!

0:17:290:17:33

Seven minutes!

0:17:330:17:34

The pressure's on!

0:17:340:17:36

Quick, quick, quick!

0:17:360:17:37

Let's go through them quick-fire. Point things out.

0:17:380:17:41

-Oh, that's nice.

-That is nice.

0:17:410:17:43

That's lovely. I really like that.

0:17:430:17:46

I don't think it's as old as it looks.

0:17:460:17:49

Because if you look just here...

0:17:490:17:52

..it's marked 925.

0:17:530:17:55

Which means that it's sterling standard. But...

0:17:550:17:59

What can you do on the frame?

0:18:010:18:03

-180.

-It's modern, isn't it?

0:18:030:18:05

-Don't know.

-It's not an old one.

0:18:050:18:07

-925.

-I thought it was continental.

0:18:070:18:09

-Yes, but fairly modern.

-I don't know.

0:18:090:18:12

-I bought it in Paris.

-It's got a 925 on it.

-Oh, has it?

0:18:120:18:14

Time's running out. Stay focused, Coco!

0:18:140:18:17

If you said to me, let's go and get that glass post, I wouldn't be able to find it.

0:18:180:18:21

-No.

-What do you think about that?

0:18:210:18:23

-I know where it is.

-Do you?

0:18:230:18:25

It's lovely that you've got the two opening doors.

0:18:250:18:28

But it's not old. It's got silk. Can you see?

0:18:280:18:31

The silk is relatively new on there.

0:18:310:18:35

80 quid. Final offer.

0:18:350:18:37

-80?

-80?

0:18:370:18:39

-80 quid?

-Yeah, 80 quid.

0:18:390:18:42

-What do you think?

-I like it. I really like it.

0:18:440:18:47

But what do you think?

0:18:470:18:49

Apart from it being modern and 80 quid, yeah, it's nice.

0:18:490:18:53

Don't hold back, Raj(!)

0:18:530:18:54

Meanwhile, what's caught Helen's eye?

0:18:540:18:57

What's that?

0:18:580:18:59

-"Lyon's Tea". That's quite sweet, isn't it?

-I like that.

0:19:000:19:03

-It is nice that, isn't it?

-Right, OK.

0:19:030:19:06

-Very interesting. It's made from tin.

-Yeah.

0:19:060:19:09

And its date is... It's Edwardian.

0:19:090:19:12

1910. It might be 1920, just after the First World War.

0:19:120:19:16

-And you change your date.

-That's lovely. I like that.

0:19:160:19:20

With an online sale, it could do quite well.

0:19:200:19:22

-How much time have we got left?

-One minute.

0:19:220:19:25

Right, so.

0:19:250:19:27

What do you think, chaps? Running out of time.

0:19:270:19:30

It's good. Just go for it.

0:19:300:19:32

Don't panic, girls.

0:19:320:19:34

Don't panic!!

0:19:340:19:35

Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring!

0:19:350:19:36

Try not to!

0:19:360:19:37

What about 75 if we pay you cash?

0:19:370:19:39

What is the absolute...

0:19:390:19:42

The absolute best on it is £20.

0:19:420:19:44

-That's it?

-Yes. Sorry. That's it.

0:19:440:19:47

Do we want a bag? Have we bought it?

0:19:470:19:50

-We've bought it.

-Yes, yes.

-Thank you very much.

0:19:500:19:53

-Thank you.

-That, I've got to say,

0:19:530:19:55

is my favourite object today.

0:19:550:19:58

Well done, reds. All items present and correct.

0:19:580:20:01

But only during the final seconds of the shop.

0:20:010:20:03

-75, yeah?

-Done!

-Cool!

0:20:030:20:06

A deal is struck by the blues.

0:20:060:20:08

Bingo!

0:20:100:20:11

We've got a picture frame.

0:20:110:20:13

And now, they too have finished shopping.

0:20:130:20:15

Time's up. Let's check out what the red team bought, eh?

0:20:150:20:19

First, they picked up a pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases.

0:20:200:20:26

And from the same Japanese period,

0:20:270:20:29

their pair of Satsuma vases cost them £50.

0:20:290:20:32

Their last purchase, at £20,

0:20:350:20:37

was a novelty Edwardian Lyon's tin tea caddy

0:20:370:20:40

with a perpetual calendar, don't you know.

0:20:400:20:42

-It went like that, didn't it?

-It did.

0:20:430:20:45

Hey, you girls, I was told you were chatty, but by gosh!

0:20:450:20:49

That was a good performance, wasn't it?

0:20:510:20:53

And your overall spend was?

0:20:530:20:55

-140.

-140.

0:20:550:20:58

160 for me, then, please.

0:20:580:21:00

Thank you, Patricia. £160. A huge amount to you, David.

0:21:000:21:03

How are you going to convert that into the most profitable bonus buy ever?

0:21:030:21:08

No pressure! I don't know what I'm going to do.

0:21:080:21:11

-But I'm thinking something feminine.

-Are you?

-They've been wonderful. Something a bit girly.

0:21:110:21:15

Fine. You're well qualified for that! Very, very good luck!

0:21:150:21:20

Meanwhile, let's check out what the blue team bought.

0:21:200:21:23

They put up three pounds for a 1940s Paragon umbrella.

0:21:240:21:28

A three-piece 1930s Art Deco marble clock garniture

0:21:300:21:33

set them back £100.

0:21:330:21:35

And finally, they chose an ornate silver photograph frame.

0:21:380:21:42

£75 paid for that.

0:21:420:21:44

-You liked your clock.

-Yeah. That's what I came here for.

0:21:450:21:48

We've got one heck of a happy team here. Are you a happy team?

0:21:480:21:51

-Yes.

-Had a good time?

-Yes, very good, thank you.

0:21:510:21:54

What does the accountant think about spending all that cash?

0:21:540:21:57

Um, should be saving it!

0:21:570:22:00

How much was it again?

0:22:000:22:02

It was £178.

0:22:020:22:04

-178. So we want £122.

-Yes.

0:22:040:22:08

-That's right, yep.

-OK, accountancy.

0:22:080:22:10

Here we go. 122. That's coming over.

0:22:100:22:14

There's a wodge of cash, Kate.

0:22:140:22:16

-Lovely.

-What are you going to do with that?

0:22:160:22:18

Thank you. Well, they've got very set tastes.

0:22:180:22:21

It'll be difficult to find something to please them both.

0:22:210:22:24

I've got my work cut out.

0:22:240:22:26

-Just something that'll make a major profit.

-OK.

0:22:260:22:28

-I'll stick to that.

-Good luck with that.

0:22:280:22:31

Meanwhile, we're heading off to Lotherton Hall. Ever heard of it?

0:22:310:22:34

Well, you're about to find out.

0:22:340:22:37

Former home of the Gascoigne family,

0:22:400:22:42

this is Lotherton Hall in west Yorkshire.

0:22:420:22:45

The Gascoignes were great travellers

0:22:450:22:47

who'd picked up a number of exotic artefacts on their journeys

0:22:470:22:50

which, since Sir Alvary Gascoigne bequeathed the hall to the City of Leeds in the 1960s

0:22:500:22:56

are now on public display.

0:22:560:22:59

Along with many subsequent donations,

0:22:590:23:01

these now make up a rather impressive Oriental collection.

0:23:010:23:04

Continuing the family tradition,

0:23:100:23:12

Sir Alvary Gascoigne, the last incumbent of Lotherton Hall,

0:23:120:23:18

when he was leaving his post with the British Diplomatic Mission in Japan in 1951,

0:23:180:23:25

was presented with this by the diplomatic staff.

0:23:250:23:29

A lovely pottery camel.

0:23:300:23:32

Except this is no ordinary pottery camel.

0:23:320:23:37

It's a tomb figure that dates from the Tang dynasty.

0:23:370:23:41

And the Tang dynasty ruled in China

0:23:410:23:44

between about 600 AD and 900 AD.

0:23:440:23:48

If you were wealthy in the Tang dynasty,

0:23:480:23:50

what you'd want to be buried with is one of these in your tomb.

0:23:500:23:55

Because these were considered at that time symbols of wealth

0:23:550:24:00

and prosperity.

0:24:000:24:02

This thing is made of whitish clay.

0:24:020:24:04

You can see the clay here where there's a great chip on one of his humps.

0:24:040:24:09

And the expression on his face gives you everything that is great about camels.

0:24:090:24:15

Great open mouth, arched neck,

0:24:150:24:19

throwing his head back, clearing his throat,

0:24:190:24:22

preparing to spit,

0:24:220:24:25

because, as we all know, camels can spit accurately for up to 20 metres.

0:24:250:24:30

The colour scheme is typical of early Chinese pottery glazes,

0:24:300:24:36

with these three colours, the white, the green and the yellow

0:24:360:24:40

mixed in a treacly way

0:24:400:24:41

that gets emulated, if you like, in Staffordshire,

0:24:410:24:45

by the Wealden pottery factory in the 18th century.

0:24:450:24:49

Which is a cool 1,000 years after this glaze was being used in China.

0:24:490:24:56

This represents the absolute pinnacle

0:24:560:25:00

of collectability today

0:25:000:25:02

for Chinese ceramics.

0:25:020:25:04

I dread to think what it's potentially worth!

0:25:040:25:07

So, while Sir Alvary is collecting his retirement gift,

0:25:070:25:13

his missus, Lady Gascoigne, is away shopping.

0:25:130:25:16

Where she acquired in 1950

0:25:160:25:19

this Japanese screen.

0:25:190:25:22

This is said to be Kano School,

0:25:220:25:25

and could date anywhere between about 1600 and 1800.

0:25:250:25:30

Where we've got this spangly golden section,

0:25:300:25:33

if this was lacquer,

0:25:330:25:35

you'd expect that to be nashi,

0:25:350:25:37

with literally chopped up little bits of gold

0:25:370:25:39

applied to the lacquer surface.

0:25:390:25:43

I reckon this thing, if it was properly restored,

0:25:430:25:46

would look absolutely dynamic.

0:25:460:25:50

Overall, though, it has to be said

0:25:500:25:53

that Lady Gascoigne was jolly good at her bargain hunting!

0:25:530:25:57

The big question today is, over at the auction,

0:25:570:26:00

can the same be said for our teams?

0:26:000:26:03

Today we're in Lincoln, and proud of it.

0:26:100:26:12

At Golding, Young and Moore

0:26:120:26:15

with our old mate mucker Colin Young.

0:26:150:26:18

-Pleasure to have you here, Tim.

-Morning, Colin. Lovely to be back.

0:26:180:26:21

For the reds, they've gone, in my view, for some pretty disappointing Oriental items.

0:26:210:26:25

These are two appallingly poor quality Japanese bronze vases.

0:26:250:26:30

They are. They're what I class as one step up from the bottom league.

0:26:300:26:34

There's no real quality to them at all.

0:26:340:26:36

But they are old.

0:26:360:26:38

So they've got to be worth 40 to £60, I'd have thought.

0:26:380:26:41

-OK. £70 paid. Fair enough. They're not a million miles out.

-No.

0:26:410:26:46

But for viewers at home, looking at these two Satsuma vases,

0:26:460:26:51

-they are Satsuma.

-Yes.

-They've got some age.

-Yes.

0:26:510:26:53

This, that and the other. It's just that a good bit of Satsuma takes your breath away,

0:26:530:26:57

and these are just poor pieces, aren't they?

0:26:570:27:00

You've got those wonderful fine artistic pieces which make thousands.

0:27:000:27:06

Which just take your breath away.

0:27:060:27:07

But as well as producing those, they had, in effect, to pay the rent.

0:27:070:27:11

So there were everyday wares that were made en masse,

0:27:110:27:15

and unfortunately this does fall into that category.

0:27:150:27:18

So, Satsuma, Colin. What's your estimate?

0:27:180:27:21

I think in today's market, 40 to 60 is going to be the mark.

0:27:210:27:24

Patricia and Helen paid 50.

0:27:240:27:27

So they're about spot on.

0:27:270:27:29

And it's always time for a cup of tea, I find.

0:27:290:27:32

How do you rate the little tea canister, the tea box?

0:27:320:27:37

It's quite a fun item.

0:27:370:27:38

Plenty of them come through the auctions.

0:27:380:27:41

They make anywhere between ten and 30 which is why that's the estimate I put on them.

0:27:410:27:47

-Between ten and 30.

-Yes.

0:27:470:27:49

-OK. £20 paid. So they're pretty well spot on.

-Yeah.

0:27:490:27:51

Fascinating to see what will happen. Overall, though,

0:27:510:27:54

they're most likely going to need their bonus buy.

0:27:540:27:56

Let's have a look at it.

0:27:560:27:58

Patricia, Hels, you spent 140. You gave David Harper £160.

0:27:590:28:03

-I'm going to help him by whooping that cloth off.

-Be gentle.

0:28:030:28:07

-Ooh!

-Hello, two very elegant, beautiful scent bottles.

0:28:070:28:12

How much?

0:28:120:28:13

Oh, here we go!

0:28:130:28:15

What do you think?

0:28:150:28:17

-I think you've spent all our money.

-How much was that?

-160.

-£160.

0:28:170:28:21

-Have you?

-60 for the pair.

-60.

-60.

0:28:210:28:24

That's not too bad.

0:28:240:28:25

And to have a pair, a pair of anything, is always so much more desirable.

0:28:250:28:30

And a matching pair. That's what we're all looking for!

0:28:300:28:33

How much do you think they'll make?

0:28:330:28:35

I think they've got a very good chance of making a profit. I really do.

0:28:350:28:38

I would pay 60 quid for those all day long.

0:28:380:28:42

Very happily. So they could make £100. Why not?

0:28:420:28:46

OK, girls? Happy with that? Have a cogitate.

0:28:460:28:49

You don't pick until after the sale of your first three items.

0:28:490:28:52

But let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about David's scent bottles.

0:28:520:28:57

Perfect. Let's have one each, shall we?

0:28:580:29:00

-Those are rather nice.

-Aren't they attractive?

0:29:000:29:04

I don't know. This silver and enamel band on the top.

0:29:040:29:08

What's yours like? Mine's perfect.

0:29:080:29:09

-I've got a little bit out of mine.

-A dent?

-A bit of a dent.

0:29:090:29:14

Bit of a loss on there.

0:29:140:29:16

-Is your glass all right?

-The glass is good.

0:29:160:29:19

I think they are incomplete and the stoppers that have been put on don't quite match.

0:29:190:29:25

But with a scent bottle of this sort of size and scale,

0:29:250:29:29

it should have had an atomiser top.

0:29:290:29:31

This is going to be a difficult thing to... Almost like a vinegar bottle when you pour it out.

0:29:310:29:38

This, for me, doesn't work with stoppers.

0:29:380:29:41

So there are a few question marks hanging over them.

0:29:410:29:44

But I think they dress very well.

0:29:440:29:46

And they look the part.

0:29:460:29:48

-So I'll be quite positive with them in the sale.

-OK.

0:29:480:29:51

But an estimate of 50 to £80 for them.

0:29:510:29:54

That's very fine, cos old Harper paid 60.

0:29:540:29:57

So he's not overpaid.

0:29:570:29:58

OK. Marvellous. Thank you for that, Colin.

0:29:580:30:01

Good, good. That's exciting.

0:30:010:30:03

Now, moving on to Coco and Rajan.

0:30:030:30:06

We have an umbrella.

0:30:060:30:08

We get a lot of these through. They generally don't go through as individual lots.

0:30:080:30:11

But for that reason, it being a separate lot,

0:30:110:30:15

we've put an estimate of 25 to £40.

0:30:150:30:18

-Really?

-Hopefully that should encourage some stimulus in the bidding.

0:30:180:30:22

There'll be a downpour, I can tell you!

0:30:230:30:25

-Really?

-Three pounds paid.

-That was all right!

-Pretty good!

0:30:250:30:28

Now, the clock garniture,

0:30:280:30:30

which absolutely reeks 1930s, doesn't it?

0:30:300:30:33

It does. Absolute spot-on piece of Deco.

0:30:330:30:36

We do see a lot of this model coming through.

0:30:360:30:39

-And these days, we'd estimate 100 to £150.

-100 to £150?

0:30:390:30:45

Coco and Raj, anything over £100, they'll be jumping up and down.

0:30:450:30:49

-OK.

-And the last item

0:30:490:30:51

which is incredibly good-looking.

0:30:510:30:55

It looks Victorian, it feels Victorian.

0:30:550:30:58

It's a very traditional style from that sort of period,

0:30:580:31:01

-but obviously a modern piece.

-Yes.

0:31:010:31:02

But it looks the part. So I wouldn't be too critical about it being not that old.

0:31:020:31:07

What do you think it's worth, Col?

0:31:070:31:09

I think 40 to £60 would be the mark for it.

0:31:090:31:11

OK. I think that's a bit of a teasing estimate, personally!

0:31:110:31:14

£75 was paid.

0:31:140:31:16

And I'd be very surprised if you don't get that.

0:31:160:31:19

-But that's the excitement of the auction.

-It's the unknown factor. That's why we do this job!

0:31:190:31:24

And that's why they may need their bonus buy. Let's have a look at it.

0:31:240:31:28

Now. Raj, Coco, this is your moment.

0:31:290:31:32

What did Kate Bliss spend all that cash on, that £122. OK, Kate, show us your wares!

0:31:320:31:38

Here it is.

0:31:380:31:40

Quite small, but perfectly formed.

0:31:400:31:42

It is - if I turn it over, you'll have more of a clue.

0:31:420:31:46

I can see Coco is looking very closely.

0:31:460:31:48

On the other side, you have a sweet little bevelled mirror.

0:31:480:31:52

And on the inside, you have something that every make-up artist needs...

0:31:520:31:58

-a little lipstick!

-Oh!

0:31:580:32:00

Isn't that adorable?

0:32:000:32:02

So although it was very difficult to please both of you,

0:32:020:32:05

I was really hoping I would please one of you!

0:32:050:32:07

Indeed!

0:32:070:32:08

Lovely.

0:32:080:32:09

So, this is continental silver.

0:32:090:32:11

It's actually marked with an import mark

0:32:110:32:14

which is what happens to silver when it's imported into this country.

0:32:140:32:17

But it's basically continental, probably French, I would think.

0:32:170:32:21

And it's in really good condition for its age.

0:32:210:32:25

This dates from the very early part of the 20th century.

0:32:250:32:28

Have a little look, Coco.

0:32:290:32:31

-I'm dying.

-It's more of a girls' thing, I'm afraid, Raj.

-OK.

0:32:310:32:34

-Do you like it?

-Oh, I love it!

0:32:340:32:36

-Would you like to own it?

-I want it in my bag!

-Do you?

0:32:360:32:40

You need to find out from Kate one thing, one very important thing.

0:32:400:32:42

-And that is?

-How much did it cost you?

-OK.

0:32:420:32:46

-Well, it cost me £38.

-Oh!

0:32:460:32:49

Does it look 38 notes' worth?

0:32:490:32:50

I think it looks like it's worth more.

0:32:500:32:53

-I've never seen anything like it.

-Yeah.

0:32:530:32:55

There you are. You've got the males intrigued,

0:32:550:32:59

and the women loving it, Kate.

0:32:590:33:00

I think this is a no-brainer, here.

0:33:000:33:02

Anyway, chaps. You don't decide now.

0:33:020:33:04

You decide after the sale of your first three items.

0:33:040:33:07

But for those at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's lipstick.

0:33:070:33:12

There you go, Colin. Something to repair your make-up with!

0:33:130:33:16

Mm. I would think that's got to be worth, for any lady, 30 to £50.

0:33:160:33:20

-OK. £38 paid.

-OK.

-Which is pretty good, isn't it?

0:33:200:33:24

The fact that Kate can go out and find that for £38 retail

0:33:240:33:27

I think is pretty darned clever.

0:33:270:33:30

Are you taking the sale today?

0:33:300:33:32

-I will indeed.

-We're in safe hands.

0:33:320:33:35

OK, Pat? Hels? How are you feeling?

0:33:390:33:42

-Nervous.

-Fine.

0:33:420:33:43

-What does that hysterical laugh mean?

-Yes!

0:33:430:33:47

-A little bit nervous.

-Are you?

0:33:470:33:50

-Yes.

-It's only fear of the unknown, I expect, isn't it?

0:33:500:33:53

-Once you get a couple of lots into it, you'll love it.

-Good!

0:33:530:33:56

First up are the bronzes. Here they come.

0:33:560:33:58

Lot number 103. Pair of Japanese Meiji period bronze vases.

0:33:580:34:03

There we go. £40, anyone? 40?

0:34:030:34:04

40 straight in. £40. Who's coming in, £40 anybody?

0:34:040:34:07

40. Look at what we're selling. £40 I'm bid. And two. Two do I see?

0:34:070:34:11

-At £40 bid. Two anywhere?

-Come on, Colin.

0:34:110:34:14

At 40 bid. 42 on the net. 42. 45. 48 bid. 50 do I see? £50 bid.

0:34:140:34:18

-50. 55 now do I see? 55 bid?

-Come on!

-55?

0:34:180:34:22

£50 bid. Five is the last call. Going at £50.

0:34:220:34:26

£50, which is £20 under.

0:34:260:34:29

-£50. Could have been a lot worse!

-It could.

0:34:290:34:31

-Now, will the Satsuma ones make more?

-Yes.

0:34:310:34:36

What shall we say for these? Stand on £50.

0:34:360:34:38

50? £50. Surely somebody's going to stand on at 50? 40?

0:34:380:34:41

-Oh!

-£30.

0:34:410:34:44

£30?

0:34:450:34:47

Silence!

0:34:470:34:48

£20? Just look at the enamelling on them.

0:34:480:34:51

20 bid. 22. Five. 28.

0:34:510:34:52

30. 30 bid. 32. 35. 38 bid. 40.

0:34:520:34:54

42. 45. 48?

0:34:540:34:56

-Go on!

-Go on!

-Another one, please!

0:34:560:34:59

At 45 in the middle of the room.

0:34:590:35:00

At 45 bid. 48 now. Do I see it?

0:35:000:35:02

45. Look at what we're selling at 45.

0:35:020:35:04

In the centre of the room selling at £45.

0:35:040:35:07

£45. Bad luck. Made less than the bronze.

0:35:070:35:11

And a five pound loss on that.

0:35:110:35:14

-Now, the tin tea caddy.

-This is beautiful.

0:35:140:35:17

Who's going to start me at £30? 30?

0:35:170:35:19

20 to go, then, surely. £20, anybody? 20?

0:35:190:35:21

£20. £20? £10?

0:35:210:35:24

-Ooh!

-Ten. £10 I'm bid. 10. 12, now do I see? 12 bid. 15. 15.

0:35:240:35:28

18 do I see? At £15 bid. 18 do I see now? 18.

0:35:280:35:30

18 bid. 20 I'm bid. 22 now? 22?

0:35:300:35:33

At £20 bid. Is there two now?

0:35:330:35:35

22 on the net. 25 in the room. 28 now.

0:35:350:35:38

28 bid. Are you coming back now?

0:35:380:35:39

28 bid. 30. 30 bid. 32 now.

0:35:390:35:42

32. 35 now.

0:35:420:35:44

At 32 bid. 35 now anywhere else?

0:35:440:35:46

38 we're up to now on the net.

0:35:460:35:48

On the net!

0:35:480:35:49

At 38 bid. 40 anywhere else now, surely?

0:35:490:35:51

-Go on!

-On the net. You're out in the room.

0:35:510:35:54

-At 38.

-Well, that's marvellous. Brilliant.

0:35:540:35:57

38. Hell's bells. You did really well finding that.

0:35:570:36:00

That's plus 18.

0:36:000:36:01

A profit of 18. You're minus seven, sweet pea.

0:36:010:36:05

-That's not bad!

-Minus seven is not too bad.

0:36:050:36:08

What about these decanters?

0:36:080:36:10

The old scent decanters.

0:36:100:36:12

-Do you fancy them at 60?

-No.

-Are you not?

-No.

0:36:120:36:15

-You're not?

-Sure?

-No?

0:36:150:36:17

-Do you think so?

-I can't express an opinion.

0:36:170:36:20

Well, what a turncoat you are. She told me how much she loved them.

0:36:200:36:24

And then suddenly, no.

0:36:240:36:27

Hang on a minute. Seriously, you're minus seven pounds, which could be a winning score.

0:36:270:36:31

On the other hand, do you fancy a punt on these things?

0:36:310:36:33

-What do you think?

-The sweet smell of success?

-We'll have a go.

0:36:330:36:36

-What do you think?

-We'll have a go.

-Sure?

-Yes, we'll go.

0:36:360:36:40

-You will?

-Your decision.

-Yes, final.

-You do. OK.

0:36:400:36:43

You don't need to phone anybody?

0:36:430:36:44

-Fingers are crossed.

-Everything crossed?

0:36:460:36:48

-Seriously, you're doing it, yes?

-Yes.

0:36:480:36:51

Lot number 109 is a pair of George V cut glass scent bottles.

0:36:510:36:56

£80, anybody? 80?

0:36:560:36:58

-Lovely scent bottles, not to be sniffed at!

-Ho, ho!

0:36:580:37:01

50? £50? 50?

0:37:010:37:03

40? £40 anybody? 40?

0:37:040:37:06

-For goodness sake!

-£30, anybody? 30?

0:37:060:37:08

£30 bid. 30. Two do I see now?

0:37:080:37:10

£30 bid. Two anywhere else? 32 bid.

0:37:100:37:12

35 bid. 38. 38. 40.

0:37:120:37:13

At 40. 42. 45. 48.

0:37:130:37:15

And 50? 48 bid. 50 do I see. 50 bid.

0:37:150:37:18

Five on the net. 55. 60 in the room.

0:37:180:37:19

60. 65

0:37:190:37:20

60 bid. And five now? Surely, at £60. 65. 70, now.

0:37:200:37:25

-Yes!

-Your bid takes it at 65.

0:37:250:37:27

-Any more bids now?

-Hang on. He's not finished.

-Last call.

0:37:270:37:29

Will it tempt you back into the bidding?

0:37:290:37:31

At 65 bid. Eight, now, surely?

0:37:310:37:33

At 65. Going this time, then.

0:37:330:37:35

Selling at £65.

0:37:350:37:37

-Well done, Dave.

-Thank you, David.

-Thank you.

0:37:370:37:39

We're glad we went with you.

0:37:390:37:41

Well, it was quite a moment, that.

0:37:410:37:43

It's what you call taut.

0:37:430:37:45

Anyway. Plus five, which overall reduces you so sadly to minus £2.

0:37:450:37:51

-That's not bad.

-It's brilliant!

0:37:510:37:53

There's no shame in that.

0:37:530:37:55

Not at all.

0:37:550:37:56

So, say not a word to the blues, OK?

0:37:560:37:59

-Well done, girls, you've been marvellous.

-Thank you.

-Thank you!

0:37:590:38:02

Coco, Rajan, do you know how the reds got on?

0:38:080:38:10

-No.

-No idea?

-No.

0:38:100:38:12

With any luck we'll have Raj the accountant counting out the money!

0:38:120:38:16

Like he normally does at work and everything will be good.

0:38:160:38:19

If it all goes wrong, you've got the lipstick jobby to fall back on.

0:38:190:38:23

Fall back on? It's lovely!

0:38:230:38:25

You're having it anyway?

0:38:250:38:27

-You want it yourself, don't you?

-Yes, I do!

0:38:270:38:29

OK, Coco. So, here we go, then. Exciting stuff.

0:38:290:38:32

First up is the umbrella. Here it comes.

0:38:320:38:35

Lot 124 is the vintage Paragon umbrella.

0:38:350:38:39

The extra good news is it's raining today!

0:38:390:38:42

So we should have a captive audience.

0:38:420:38:45

Who's going to start me at £30 for it? 30?

0:38:450:38:47

Ten to go, surely. £10, anybody? Ten?

0:38:470:38:49

£10, anyone? Ten?

0:38:490:38:51

Come on, ladies and gentlemen.

0:38:510:38:53

£10 on the net. Ten bid.

0:38:530:38:55

12 again now.

0:38:550:38:56

12 and 15, now? 15 do I see?

0:38:560:38:59

Coming back at 15? No?

0:38:590:39:01

At 12 bid. My bid's here at 12. Any more bids, then?

0:39:010:39:03

Any more bids? No? At £12. Last call then. Selling at 12.

0:39:030:39:07

-Thank you.

-£12, darling.

0:39:070:39:09

You've just made £9 profit.

0:39:090:39:11

-Good girl.

-Very good.

0:39:110:39:13

Now, the clock garniture. Ooh.

0:39:130:39:16

Clock garniture set this time.

0:39:160:39:17

Who's going to start me at £200 for it? 200?

0:39:170:39:20

Two to go, surely. £200 anyone?

0:39:200:39:21

200? 150, if you like. 150.

0:39:210:39:23

Coming in at 150 for it?

0:39:230:39:25

150 to go, surely. 150, anybody?

0:39:250:39:27

100, then, as a last resort. £100.

0:39:270:39:30

£100?

0:39:300:39:32

Somebody buy it!

0:39:320:39:34

Time's running out. 50. 50 I'm bid in the middle there.

0:39:340:39:37

50. At 60. 65. 65. 70, now?

0:39:370:39:39

70 now? Do I see £70 bid?

0:39:390:39:41

At 70 do I see? £70 I'm bid. At 70.

0:39:410:39:43

Five. 75. At 80?

0:39:430:39:46

At £75. It's on the market and it is going to sell.

0:39:460:39:48

We're all done and finished and selling, then, at £75.

0:39:480:39:54

That's minus £25.

0:39:540:39:56

I can't tell you how disappointed I am by that.

0:39:560:39:58

That's minus 16.

0:39:580:40:00

The game is not over.

0:40:000:40:02

Lot number 126. The ornate sterling silver photo frame.

0:40:020:40:06

And we start the bidding on this already at £40 bid.

0:40:060:40:09

At £40 bid. And five. At 50.

0:40:090:40:10

Five. 60. 60. Another bid? Five. Anywhere else now?

0:40:100:40:13

At £60 bid. Five now do I see?

0:40:130:40:15

£60 bid. Five anywhere else? Five?

0:40:150:40:17

65 on the net. At 65. 70 anywhere else?

0:40:170:40:19

At 65 bid. Any more now?

0:40:190:40:21

At 65. Done and finished then. Selling on the internet at £65.

0:40:210:40:25

Thank you.

0:40:250:40:26

£65 is minus £10.

0:40:260:40:29

Is minus 26 overall.

0:40:290:40:31

Right. So this is very disappointing, isn't it?

0:40:310:40:34

So predicting what's going to happen with your lipstick isn't easy.

0:40:340:40:39

But you're going to go for it anyway?

0:40:390:40:40

I really like it.

0:40:400:40:42

So you're going to go with it, yes?

0:40:420:40:44

-Yeah.

-OK. We're going to do it.

0:40:440:40:46

We're going with it. Here it comes.

0:40:460:40:48

Lot number 130 showing now.

0:40:480:40:50

This is a 20th-century continental silver combination lipstick holder.

0:40:500:40:54

£50 for it? 50? £50 to go, then, surely.

0:40:540:40:57

£50, anyone? 50?

0:40:570:40:59

40? 30 to go then, surely. £30.

0:40:590:41:01

Who's going to start me at 30?

0:41:010:41:02

Oh, dear!

0:41:020:41:04

£20? £20 bid. At 20 bid.

0:41:040:41:06

Gents as well, if you like! 20 bid.

0:41:060:41:08

Two there. 22. 25. 28 do I see now?

0:41:080:41:10

28 bid. 30. £30 bid. Do I see 30?

0:41:100:41:12

32 now. 32 bid.

0:41:120:41:15

35 bid.

0:41:150:41:16

At 32 bid. 35, it's slowed down now a little bit.

0:41:160:41:20

35. 38?

0:41:200:41:23

38 bid.

0:41:230:41:25

At 38 and very sedate.

0:41:250:41:27

You've wiped your face. You've wiped your face.

0:41:270:41:30

40 bid. 42 now? No? At £40 bid.

0:41:300:41:33

Any more bids now? At 40. Two, surely, for this?

0:41:330:41:36

At £40 bid.

0:41:360:41:38

£40.

0:41:380:41:40

-£40.

-Selling on the net.

0:41:400:41:42

£40.

0:41:420:41:44

£40 is a two pound profit,

0:41:440:41:46

which is most welcome.

0:41:460:41:47

Anyway, overall, you are minus £24.

0:41:470:41:51

And I would say, Kate, you was robbed!

0:41:510:41:54

That's really bad luck, guys, I would say.

0:41:540:41:56

-Well, that was fun, wasn't it?

-It was.

-Yes!

0:42:010:42:03

I do love a good auction.

0:42:030:42:05

We've had a helter-skelter today.

0:42:050:42:07

But sadly, for neither team is there a profit to go home with.

0:42:070:42:11

So both teams are in the minus department.

0:42:130:42:15

Despite the fact that the expert on each team

0:42:150:42:19

managed to find an object which did make a profit.

0:42:190:42:22

Which is very, very nice going.

0:42:220:42:24

But sadly, not enough profit to rescue the situation.

0:42:240:42:27

And the team with the least losses today are...

0:42:270:42:33

-the reds.

-Yes!

-Yes!

0:42:350:42:37

Sorry, Coco!

0:42:380:42:40

Which means that the blues have the most losses.

0:42:400:42:43

-Yay!

-But it's not much. It's only minus £24

0:42:430:42:48

which is just nothing in the scale of it all.

0:42:480:42:51

But the victors, who managed to win by only losing two pounds...

0:42:510:42:54

Two pounds!

0:42:540:42:56

-Minus two. Had a good time, you victors?

-Fantastic.

0:42:560:43:00

It's been lovely to see you both.

0:43:000:43:01

In fact, join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?

0:43:010:43:04

Yes!

0:43:040:43:05

I know you're sitting there thinking, "I can do better than that!"

0:43:060:43:10

Well, what's stopping you?

0:43:100:43:13

If you think you can spot a bargain,

0:43:130:43:15

0:43:150:43:17
