0:00:01 > 0:00:04Just look at this amazing gadget.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06It's a ducking stool,
0:00:06 > 0:00:10a form of mechanised medieval punishment.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14Let's hope we don't have just cause to use this today.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15So, as we're in church,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18a bit sotto - (let's go bargain hunting!)
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Today we're treading the streets
0:00:47 > 0:00:50in the historic town of Leominster
0:00:50 > 0:00:54on a mission that's as black and white as the architecture.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And with its abundance of antique shops,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00our teams today shouldn't be spoilt for choice.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Coming up on today's show:
0:01:03 > 0:01:06the reds may get a spanking if they're not careful!
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Lucky them!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Spanking?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10No extra cost!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And will the deal come to a head with the blues?
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Twins.- This is you. It's got to be you!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And before those treats, let's meet the teams.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24On the teams today for the reds
0:01:24 > 0:01:25we've got Sue and Graham,
0:01:25 > 0:01:29married for some 35 years,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and Lewis and Chris, mates, for the blues.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Welcome, everybody.- Hi, Tim.- Hi.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Now, you met Graham in the army.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Yes, he came home for the weekend with my twin brother when he was 16.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44We didn't get on particularly well at that point,
0:01:44 > 0:01:51but we met again at 18 when he rang me cos he had a telephone call from the army for free
0:01:51 > 0:01:54and I think I was the only number he could remember at the time!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57That's very complimentary, isn't it?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Oh, yes.- So you had a chat
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and then you met up and then you got serious.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- Yeah. We were engaged at 18, married at 19.- Lovely.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Graham, you worked your way up through the ranks, yes?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yes. I joined the army when I was 16
0:02:12 > 0:02:17and made my way up. I was very fortunate to get through all the ranks
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and I was commissioned and finished off my army service as a commissioned officer.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Right. Doing bomb disposal. - That was my last five years.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- That was a change! - Rather you than me!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30It was a great job and I really enjoyed it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36A great job? You're unscrewing the side of a bomb with 1,000 tonnes of something or other
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- which might blow you to smithereens! - You don't think about that at the time!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41You think about that afterwards.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- I think I would.- The pressure really was on Sue.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Because I had everything I had to do. It was all in format and everything.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52But Sue didn't know what was happening with me until she got the call the following day.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- That's tough, isn't it? - It was goodbye each time.- It is.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Never really knowing.- No.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00But he was very good. He used to text me as soon as he'd finished
0:03:00 > 0:03:03to let me know it was all done and dusted.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Tell us about this hobby of yours, geo-catching. What's all that about?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Geocaching.- Geocaching?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It's a hobby that Sue and I started about two years ago now.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Basically, it's a world-wide treasure hunt
0:03:17 > 0:03:21whereby you go on the website and they give you some map co-ordinates,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23it can be anywhere in the world,
0:03:23 > 0:03:29and you find the co-ordinates and other geocachers have left little treasures there
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so you record your find and then move on to the next.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34We did it in America. We went to Tombstone.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36There was one in Boot Hill.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38And it's just worldwide.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It's the world's best kept secret until you actually join.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Is this going to qualify you any better as bargain hunters today?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- Oh, every nook and cranny we can go in, yes!- You'll be ferreting around in.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- No cranny is safe from you!- No cranny is safe from me and Graham!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Cranny hunters.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I'm already scared. If I was the blues, I'd be quaking in my boots!
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Are you quaking, boys?- No.- Don't like the idea of that bomb disposal!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04That's all in the past.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Lewis, you're mates, right?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Well, yeah.- And you compare yourselves to a certain sitcom.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Yeah. Rodney and Del Boy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- You'd be Rodney?- I'm Rodney.- Very good. And Chris is Del Boy, right?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Well, I think he's a plonker!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I can tell they're friends. Gosh!
0:04:23 > 0:04:27So, Chris, when you're not winding up Lewis, what do you do?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I work in the local psychiatric hospital in Chester.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Ah, that figures. You take the mental approach.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- We do.- We also run a racing syndicate for greyhounds.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- We've recently bought a greyhound. - You never did?- We did.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43What's your hound called?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's called Ella Harloch.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Do you each own a paw?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- I've got a leg.- He's got a leg. I've got the mouth.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Oh, yes!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Good fun!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Do you reckon your team is going to go to the dogs today?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58No, we're going to win, definitely.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- At all costs.- Got any killer moves to defeat the reds?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- I just think we'll use our charm. - Yeah.- Oh, is that what it is?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Just rely on the charm.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11He's not got much charm, but I think I help us out a little bit.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I can't believe you're such good friends!
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Anyway, the money moment.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16There's your £300. £300 apiece.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go! And very, very good luck.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Gone to the dogs, eh?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Hoping to stamp her authority on the red team
0:05:27 > 0:05:29is the lovely Claire Rawle.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34But unravelling the secrets behind some items may be too tricky
0:05:34 > 0:05:37even for Paul Laidlaw coaching the blue team today.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm ex-military, so I'm going to go out there and attack!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- A bit of wheeling and dealing. - Wheeling and dealing I like!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Are we up for haggling? Can we do this?- Definitely.- That's going to be our aim today.- Really?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We need to get in there and find the stuff, OK?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Yep.- Come on, then, let's get with it.- OK.
0:05:58 > 0:06:04We're on the clock. Straightaway, the boys are checking their expert's credentials.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06What's your speciality, then, Paul?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I call myself a general practitioner.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12No matter what you point me at, I'll have a considered opinion on it.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15But Claire maintains discipline in the ranks.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Keep moving. Keep moving.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20This is definitely going to be a game of two halves.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Bit out of our price range, that.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25There's haggling, and then there's wishful thinking!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27You can't afford that!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Claire, there's something over here. A Wedgwood?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Yes.- I think they're a bit old-fashioned, though.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36I think you're right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- That catches my eye. - Yeah, that's nice.- OK.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41That's a bit more your sort of thing.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- That is nice.- It's Dutch, 1929.- Yes.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49I like Art Deco, but I think the Mediterranean colours are very in at the moment.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's actually quite a practical object as well.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- So it can be used.- It is nice. - It looks in good nick.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- It's nicely marked.- 42. It's a bit steep at 42, though.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59It is a bit. But you can always negotiate.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Do you want to have a stab at this one?- Yes, we'll go with that one.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05See if we can find whoever it is.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- If you don't want jewellery, why look at jewellery?- I don't know.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Rodney, you are a dipstick!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Thanks for that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Here we are. Here's the gentleman you need to charm.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17- Found something?- We have, yes.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19We actually like this.
0:07:19 > 0:07:25- That's very nice.- It's very nice. But the price is at 42.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What do you want to do? Up or down?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Definitely down! I'm a down girl.
0:07:29 > 0:07:3130 whisky vouchers and you can have it.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- GRAHAM:- 28 for cash? - Go on!
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Go on. How can you resist? - Go on, then.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Thank you very much. Thank you!
0:07:39 > 0:07:41There's no messing with you, Sue.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45This style of Dutch art pottery certainly isn't rare,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but it's a colourful start and bought within the first ten minutes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:49So keep it up!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Great! Well done!- We're off!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Guys, it's ten minutes down.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Wait a minute. What about this?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh, OK. It's a bit "deer"!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Graham will be after my job next!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And you boys had better stop faffing about!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Looks like pool balls to me.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10We've got our eye on these yellow and red balls.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11I think we'll pass.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14These reds could easily whip them into shape.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16Spanking?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19No extra cost!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Ooh, we've got two. - One in each hand!
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I think it's best I don't say anything at this point.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27But they're not the only ones losing the plot.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You absolute helmet.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Now, come on, boys. He who dares, wins, you know!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36We need to find something with a fighting chance
0:08:36 > 0:08:38and we need to start making plays.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40This could be the one.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Dartmouth Pottery.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- It's an amazing piece of sculpture. - Looks like you.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- Twins.- Well, yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50This is you. This has got to be you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53How do I feel about it? I think that's an amazing object.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54How much do you reckon it'll be worth?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I have no idea.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I think this is a £50 object.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's 65.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03They're not bringing anything to the party. Dartmouth Pottery.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It says it on the tin. Do you see any merit in this?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- He has doubts. You see something in it?- Looks like you.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah. You go for it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- What do we want to pay for it? - On your head be it!
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I'd say, if it looks like you, about £10.
0:09:20 > 0:09:26But realistically, maybe... I'm happy to pay £40 for that, maybe.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I think 40 is £10 too much.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29You reckon? 30?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Right, then, Rodders. Find Stan the dealer and see what you can do.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Stan.- You want a price on this, do you?- Yes, please.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Um, I'm thinking about £10, to be honest.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47No, really. Make an offer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Make an offer? OK. I'll double it to £20.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I think that's a reasonable price.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Tell you what. I'll give you the best price and you can say yes or no.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57And that price would be £50.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59No. It's got to be no.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Definitely for £30?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Certainly not. No, sorry. 50 is the best we can do.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- OK.- Never mind.- Thanks very much. Cheers.- That's alright.- Thank you.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- How did you get on? - He wanted £50 for it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14That's at the high end of where we'd need to be.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17We'd have to be desperate. But we're not plumping for these at the moment?
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We need to try and find a little gem.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23What can't speak can't lie.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Well, there's no arguing with that one, I suppose.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- We tend to argue quite a bit. - Do you?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- With regard to what we're going to buy.- Who wins?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35I allow him to argue with me and then I win!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Sounds good. You go on ahead. Let's see what we can find.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Graham, don't you just love 'em?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Now, reds, this is no training exercise.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You're meant to be on the attack.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Meanwhile, the blues are already mapping out their next move.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51What do you think of this? I quite like this.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Apart from the base.- A globe. Why do you like that?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I've always liked them, to be honest. I don't know why.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I think they're quirky little things.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02But the base looks very '70s, like.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Plastic.- It could be as early as '50s, you know.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08It seems really smart. What would you do with that?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Sell it at auction.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You are so on plan! Right, then.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19I reckon we could get...50 quid for that at auction.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21I totally agree with you.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Are there any problems with it condition wise?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25So this is a moulded plastic base,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28I think '50s, '60s.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Chrome, and then paper gores
0:11:32 > 0:11:37laid onto...maybe card or something like.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40And it's all there, isn't it?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Made by Philips, big publishers.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44There's a big dent in there.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Somebody's throwing darts at it. It's not a million miles off. I like it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Price tag is...
0:11:49 > 0:11:51£48.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54That's in the right ball park, isn't it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- Are we liking this? I think you'll get it for 40. If you're any good, you'll get it for 35.- OK.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- If we can get it for 35... - So you go solo this time.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Yeah.- We'll keep scratching about up here.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- But with 15 or 20 minutes gone, it would be good to get one under the...- Let's do it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Do it. Good man. Nice spot.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Are you all right, sir?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I quite like this. What's your best price you can do on that?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Well, I'm authorised to reduce this by 10% for you.- OK.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But perhaps we can do a little bit better than that.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It says 48.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I could let you have it for £40.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I was looking for 30.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- I know I'm asking a lot. - You're asking the world!
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'm asking the world! Very good.
0:12:36 > 0:12:42- So you say...- Well, I say 30, you say 40.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45I'm going to say 31, you'll say 49.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- So we'll say 33.- No.
0:12:48 > 0:12:5035 and we've got a deal.
0:12:50 > 0:12:5135.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- 34.- And a half.- Go on, then.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Right.- Pleasure doing business with you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Is that a happy man or not?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03How much did you want me to get it for?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Ideally, 30, 35.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- It was on for 48, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Tell me.
0:13:11 > 0:13:1260.
0:13:14 > 0:13:1634 and a half.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Get in, that man!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Well done!- The first I've done. - Well done, you.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Lovely jubbly. That's one down, and you've caught up with the reds.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Running out of time.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28You certainly are.
0:13:28 > 0:13:34Less looking and more buying, especially as the blues have now invaded home territory. Look out!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Knee-jerk reaction.- I like that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- No! You surprise me.- I actually like that.- I thought you'd say, "What are you doing?"- I like it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42I'll tell you why I picked it up.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Medals, militaria, military history, hot.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Say no more.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50What do we have here?
0:13:50 > 0:13:53We have a memorial photograph frame
0:13:53 > 0:13:57to one of the fallen of the Great War, the First World War.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00"The path of duty was the way to glory."
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You've got the sailor and the soldier here,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06mourning their fallen comrade.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10We've got an angel of victory, perhaps, up here.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13The vacant aperture for the photograph.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17And look at this. The aircraft in the skies.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Looks like...- Metal.- ..bronze.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22It's plaster.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25It was cheap. And that's why we've got this damage.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28In an oak frame. What have we got at the back?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32There's your little door to put your photograph in.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- How much do you reckon... - Is it worth?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Even with the damage, I think that's worth 30 to £60.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Hi. Is it Stan?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41How are you doing?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44A mystery lot.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Parked there.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49This plaster memorial frame.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But there's nothing on it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53At all.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58You'll have to excuse me for a minute. I'll make enquiries and return.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Great. Thank you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's moulded glass, rather than cut.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I think it's broken as well, there.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yeah. No, it's a bit of a dodgy one, that.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Move on!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11There's another "deer" item!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13No-eye-deer!
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I can tell you now that the price of this item is £35.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Even with the open cracks?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, that's the starting price.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Perhaps we can do a bit better for you.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30So I could come down to 30.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I'm breaking a golden rule if I buy it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Never buy a piece that I have to apologise for,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37and the auctioneer is going to say, "Why did they buy a broken one?"
0:15:37 > 0:15:39No way that could be 25, then?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Yes, all right. We'll say 25.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Shake on it.- Thank you, sir.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45We're all happy with that, yeah?
0:15:45 > 0:15:46- That's on the money. - Thank you, Stan.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Thank you, Stan. - Thank you very much.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I'll take it away and wrap it for you.- Great stuff.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Thank you. Yes!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And that second buy takes you boys into the lead at the half-way mark.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Now, reds, you're definitely losing the battle.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05More goods. Come on, Graham, where's this attacking spirit of yours?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I'll be going back to those whips, soon!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Ooh, is that a promise?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11I say, Claire. This is a day-time show, you know!
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- He's nice. I like him. - You like that?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- I like that as well. It's great. - Do you?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- I like that.- So you both like the same thing?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I'll go so far as to say I do like that and I agree with Sue on this occasion.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Hooray!- This is a momentous moment!
0:16:26 > 0:16:27- So we definitely want this one. - Right.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Great. OK. So, what do you... OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Have a look. See what you think.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Let's check him over a bit. Marked on the bottom there.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Shall we go for it?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- You're going to have a go?- Shall we see what we can get it for?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Yes, OK. Use your skills again.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We'll ask him for the bill!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46BOTH GROAN
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Hello.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53We just wondered what your bestest best would be on the pelican.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Um. 28.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Well, we usually do ten per cent here,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01which would probably be about 25.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Is it only going to cost us ten per cent? £2.80?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I might buy it for that!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- We'll take it.- £20.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Is that the best?- I was hoping to get down a bit further, Sue.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- You wouldn't do 15, at all? - I can't. No, no.
0:17:16 > 0:17:1817. What about 17?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I can't, honestly.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24But to help you out, the best is 18.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26What do you think, Claire?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- That sounds pretty good. - That's super.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- That's a deal, then. I'll get it wrapped up for you.- Thank you.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32Thank you.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34That was an easy one for you, Claire.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37They both liked it straightaway, and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44The pressure's on because we're now into the final 15 minutes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So, you blues, is it time to get "a head"?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49It is a gamble.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51And at 50, I think it's too much.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- We like a gamble. - We do like a gamble.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55We do like a gamble.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Tell you what. - The coin's coming out!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Heads.- What is heads, though?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Heads we get the item, or... - Heads we get the head!
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Heads we get the head.- Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Graham, have you seen anything yet?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12You do realise that when we fail miserably, it'll be your fault?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Not only do I win all the arguments,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17but he's always at fault.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20There's a Victorian mechanical pencil there.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22A little propelling... Yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I suppose it'll have to have the leads with it, though.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- No, no.- Is it silver?- It doesn't need to have lead in its pencil.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30You can sell it without!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35You see, I don't like it.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- I do.- OK. All right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- I like the look of it.- Shall we see?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- I like it.- Graham, what do you think of that, then?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- I think it's quite nice. - Have a good look.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- It's quite heavy as well.- Nice little inlaid stone at the end.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56It should have a silver mark on it. Can you see it anywhere, Graham?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I've got my contacts in, Claire. I can't see anything unless it's about four miles away!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02That should just slide down.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04And out it pops.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06It should have a hallmark on it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- There should be a mark there. Has he put silver?- He's put silver, so it should have.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14No pressure, eye, but it would be nice if I could spot something.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Looks it. I know that sounds ridiculous.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21But I can't see plate coming through so it looks fine.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- In for the kill.- Right. It's £28.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Get it down cheap as possible.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- It's from the...- And it's time.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Graham's doing the stuttering.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33OK. Sorry. It's Graham's.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38- Based on the 10% rule of £2.80, then...- You want it for £2.80?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Yes. We've been there already!
0:19:42 > 0:19:48Yeah, I would hope that we could come down to £14.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Right. Um, no.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57This belongs to another dealer which I would have to ring
0:19:57 > 0:19:59to get confirmation on.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Obviously I can do 24.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04But if we want any more than that, we have to give him a ring.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Time's ticking away. Can you get him on the phone?- I'll get him on the phone.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11They'll take a punt at 35 quid.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I said I'd come down to 50.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16But if you're struggling, perhaps we could come down a bit more.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- That's why I'm here.- Make it 40.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I really can't go any lower than that.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- 35 quid?- I'm staying at 40. I'm sorry.
0:20:23 > 0:20:2640. Go on, £40.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Thanks, Stan. You've looked after us. Appreciate that.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31We'll take a punt. Why not take a punt?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Great, Stan. I'll go and tell them.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Go on, then, my son. Now, Graham, Sue. Did you get in range?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Thank goodness.- He said it is £24. I tried my best.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43You've bought three things!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oh, no!
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I tried my damnedest. 40 was it, and we bought it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Yes.- But I...love it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Stop holding it up to my face!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56It is you. That is you.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I hate it!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- We'll go for that, then. That's it. - Yeah.- We're done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Let's just hope it IS silver!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Well done, Graham.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Got there in the end! Phew! Just!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Attention, all. That completes your mission.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Now, let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20The reds lit up when they found Gouda glazed pottery candlestick.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23And didn't blow the budget at £28.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29They both fell for this 1930s glazed pottery pelican
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and got it for £18.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Then in the final moments,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Graham was surprised to find some lead in this silver pencil
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and they sealed the deal at £24.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- That was a good day.- Yes.- We didn't do too bad.- Enjoyed it all right?
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Yes.- Very much so.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Rumour has it that you lot only spent £40. True or false?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- False. We spent 70.- On the lot?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- On the lot, yes. We did really try hard!- OK, fine.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02You have £230 then, somewhere.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- I do.- Well done, Susan. Thank you very much.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07£230 goes straight across to the lovely Claire.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Thank you.- What are you going to spend it on?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11I'm not completely decided.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I have certain instructions in my ear.
0:22:14 > 0:22:19- Do you?- Something pretty and decorative.- Do your instructions come from on high, or down below?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21A bit of both, I think!
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I hope you have the inspiration, darling. Very good luck with that.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31They asked for the world and got it
0:22:31 > 0:22:35by squeezing down the price of this globe to £34.50.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Then they went into battle with this First World War oak frame.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41£25 paid.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46And finally, Louis somehow saw a likeness to Chris
0:22:46 > 0:22:49in this Dartmouth black female bust.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51And they bagged it for £40.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55We did really well.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Is this man a wily Scot, or is he a wily Scot?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- What would you say?- I think the pair of you are ganging up on me.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Del Boy, don't you go taking it personally.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10And as for you, Rodney, I don't know!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Now, you spent all round how much?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- £99.50.- That's quite precise, isn't it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17And not a lot of cash, I have to say.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20But that's OK. £200.50, please.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- That's the 50p.- Thank you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24There's the 50. There's the 200.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Now, my old Scottish fruit.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Listen to that giggle! What are you going to do?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Blank canvas.- Blank canvas.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Everything was ploughed into this exercise. Nothing in reserve.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40But it's a good place, this. There are lots of cabinets and things to rootle around for.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46Yes, and a really broad spectrum of price, it has to be said.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Well, you have got £200.50,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51which should be enough to fire your cannon!
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Anyway, very good luck with that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Now, the origin of the species and all that.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00We're heading off to Charles Darwin's town house. Oo-ah!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Charles Darwin once wrote that,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10"From so simple a beginning,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13"endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful
0:24:13 > 0:24:16"have been, and are being, evolved."
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Imagine having an idea. An idea so revolutionary
0:24:21 > 0:24:25that it changes the way that the whole of mankind
0:24:25 > 0:24:27understands its origins.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Well...
0:24:32 > 0:24:36..you'd have to be pretty certain of your theory
0:24:36 > 0:24:40and have a lot of hard evidence to back it up.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And believe it or not, Charles Darwin
0:24:43 > 0:24:50kept the original manuscript which had his original reasoning
0:24:50 > 0:24:56in this cupboard, underneath the stairs here at Down House, his family home,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58for 15 years.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Along with a letter marked, "To be opened in the case of my sudden death."
0:25:03 > 0:25:08And with instructions to his wife to devote £400 to its publication.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Having written the original draft,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Darwin continued with his experiments
0:25:14 > 0:25:20just to be able to be certain that he could confound his critics.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25Whatever you do, don't stick your finger in this carnivorous plant!
0:25:26 > 0:25:29The common belief at the time was that the reason so many living creatures
0:25:29 > 0:25:32were similar in their underlying structures
0:25:32 > 0:25:36was that they had all been designed by the divine hand.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40However, Darwin argued that these underlying structures
0:25:40 > 0:25:44had in fact been produced over very long periods of time
0:25:44 > 0:25:47through a process he named natural selection.
0:25:47 > 0:25:53Darwin understood very well why his theory would cause consternation
0:25:53 > 0:25:55in 19th-century society.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59After all, his wife was a practising Christian.
0:25:59 > 0:26:06And he knew that he would be attacked on all sides were he to publish.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12He said in a letter that admitting that species were not immutable
0:26:12 > 0:26:15was tantamount to confessing to murder!
0:26:15 > 0:26:19But in 1859, he was forced to publish
0:26:19 > 0:26:24when he discovered that another naturalist appeared to be coming to similar conclusions.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31This is a first edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35On the face of it, a pretty boring book!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37There's nothing about the binding
0:26:37 > 0:26:41that screams, "I am rare and extremely sought-after."
0:26:41 > 0:26:44It is just a cloth binding.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Open to the fly-leaf
0:26:46 > 0:26:50and you get a hint that it's amazing
0:26:50 > 0:26:52because it says, in Darwin's hand,
0:26:52 > 0:26:57"From the author", because this volume was given to a friend
0:26:57 > 0:27:01who'd actively encouraged him to proceed and publish.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02And equally interesting,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05if I turn to this marked page,
0:27:05 > 0:27:11and we go to the end paragraph of Chapter Six,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14it reads, "It is generally acknowledged
0:27:14 > 0:27:20"that all organic beings have been formed on two great laws -
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Unity of Type, and the Conditions of Existence."
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Fine. That's in the book.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31But the double whammy and thrill here is that in the collection at Down House,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35we've got the original Charles Darwin manuscript.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39"Unity of Type and the Conditions of Existence."
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Except even this early manuscript was altered by Darwin.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Look. He adds Paragraph A.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50And on this sheet, we've got Paragraph A and B.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52His amendments to the original manuscript
0:27:52 > 0:27:53still exist.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Is that special?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58You bet your life it is!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Now, for our teams back at the auction,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02it's survival of the fittest.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Well, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be at Halls sale room
0:28:15 > 0:28:18on Welsh Bridge in Shrewsbury
0:28:18 > 0:28:20with Jeremy Lammond.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Jeremy, how are you.- Welcome, Tim. - Thank you very much.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27We'll see how our red team have invested with their first item,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29the Gouda candlestick.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32We see lots and lots of it, which may be a problem in terms of value.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37- It's not rare.- Not rare, but quite colourful, and quite jolly.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Yes.- How much, then, do you think?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41We think 20 to 30.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43£28 they paid, so they're on the button there, really.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Yes, they might get out of it.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49And their second item are these rather jolly porcelain pelicans.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50How do you rate those?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52- We think 20 or £30.- Perfect.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- £18 they paid.- Should be all right. - That's fair enough.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59I find that rather fun, I have to say.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02Well, it is. What's curious about it
0:29:02 > 0:29:07is it's from Romania, and you think, what has Romania got to do with pelicans?
0:29:07 > 0:29:12- That is a very valid question. - The largest breeding group of Eurasian Whites
0:29:12 > 0:29:16- are bred on the Danube Delta. - They never are?- Romania.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19That's interesting, isn't it? And lastly,
0:29:19 > 0:29:23is the silver propelling pencil. How do you rate that?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- I think it is again 20 or £30. - Do you?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Is it silver?- Well, it's not hallmarked.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34There's no sterling mark, so technically we can't call it silver.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- We call it white metal.- OK, fine.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38£24 they paid, actually.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41So all round, they were extremely tight with their money,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43only spending £70.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46They can't expect vast profits on that.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- No, but they haven't spent too much, so they should be all right.- Fine.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53The next step is, will they need their bonus buy?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56First off, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00Now, Sue and Graham. You spent, ducks, £70.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's not a lot of cash, is it?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04No, we were planning a bit more,
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- but it was just the way the cookie crumbled.- I know that crumble.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10OK. £230 of leftover lolly
0:30:10 > 0:30:11went to the girl.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15Claire, what did you spend your 230 on?
0:30:15 > 0:30:19- Well, it's sort of...- Blingy. - ..blingy.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20Oh!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- It's quite nice.- What is it, Claire?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's a little silver card case.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29In the days when if you went visiting,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31you took your card with you.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32So the top is hinged.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34And you kept your cards inside.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37And it's beautifully decorative. It's silver.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Solid silver. Edwardian.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- I thought it was beautifully decorated.- It is very nice.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I like that. It has grown on me, definitely.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- How much did you pay?- 140.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51I'm hoping there'll be a bit of profit. I'd like it to make a bit more than that.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53£140, I'd have expected the cards as well!
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Good.
0:30:55 > 0:31:02On that happy note, let's, for the audience at home, find out what the auctioneer thinks of Claire's case.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Well, Jeremy. Busy old sale room, this. What do you make of that?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11It's an Edwardian silver embossed card case.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12A bit thin in the centre.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Birmingham 1906.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Pretty enough. Not rare.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20What do you mean, thin in the centre?
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Well, it's been monogrammed, and that's been polished out a bit.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- Oh, I see.- That may affect people's view of it, really.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30But it's solid enough.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- 60 to £80.- 60 to 80, he said.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35She paid £140.
0:31:35 > 0:31:36Anyway, that's it for the reds.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Now for the blues.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40What a spread of objects they've got.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42First up the schoolroom globe.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45This is a Philips Terrestrial.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It's about 1965 or so.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50If you're going to buy one of these anywhere,
0:31:50 > 0:31:54you need to make sure that these gores are in good condition.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58This one's a bit dented, and a bit scratched around here.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Well, it has been in the schoolroom, hasn't it?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Well, it has. Somebody's been round the world with it.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05They definitely have.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- 40 to £60.- 40 to £60. That's very good.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10£34.50, they paid.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Yep.- That's a cracker, then, for £34.50.- It should be.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Stands a good chance.- Yes. - Excellent.
0:32:15 > 0:32:21Next is the plaster and oak First World War memorial frame.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Not the greatest of subject matter, this, is it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28It's a bit maudlin, isn't it, really?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31In today's market, with the damage...
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Not so good.- Difficult to shift, really.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34OK. How much, do you think?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- We think 40 to 60. - That's OK. £25 paid.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Lastly is the Dartmouth Pottery mask.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Tell us about that. Dartmouth Pottery.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Dartmouth, Torquay. 1948 established.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51So it is a post-war head, this, really.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55I think it's quite evocative and it would fit into most interiors.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58How popular is Dartmouth Pottery?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Difficult to say. We don't sell much of it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03I've never sold a sculptural piece like this.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06So we put a tentative 20 to 30 on it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10OK. £40 paid. I think this is a very interesting trio of objects.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14But just in case it goes, as they say, bottoms up,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Well, chaps, you spent £99.50
0:33:20 > 0:33:21which is what they call paltry.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26£200.50 went to Paul Laidlaw. What did you spend it on, Paul?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Oh, my God.- Seriously, what do you make of that?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Um, shall I?- Yes, please.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Is this a wind-up?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Ye of little faith!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Now, this is not what I usually buy, OK?
0:33:39 > 0:33:45Late '60s, early '70s in supremely good condition.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48It is good to go, and that's what your market wants.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49Talking of markets,
0:33:49 > 0:33:53this is what your youthful buyer is looking for.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- How much?- It wasn't £200.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57It was 30.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- £30.- That was a good buy, I'm telling you.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02Would you have that in your house?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Never in a million years. - Is it plastic?- Yes.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- The head now is starting to look... - I'd have thought you'd like this.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Anyway, Del Boy and Rodney are going to cogitate on this.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14You don't pick it now, you decide later.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19But for you at home, let's find out whether the auctioneer is in tune with the modern generation.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24OK, Jeremy. This is your favourite period, the 1960s.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30Yes. It could fit into any 1960s interior that you care to mention.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Yeah.- And Paul Laidlaw, the canny Scot,
0:34:34 > 0:34:38he's always one to be known to go with the alternative product.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40We think 30 to £50.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42He'll be delighted, cos he only paid £30.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Well...- I bet you this team go with this bonus buy
0:34:45 > 0:34:49because they're adventuresome like this with things that are different.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Thank you very much for your words of wisdom.
0:34:52 > 0:34:58Let's just hope it's not a question of pearls cast before swine.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- This is it, then.- Yes. - We're on the edge.- Exciting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- Look at how crowded this sale room is. Isn't that good?- Excellent.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14You couldn't get a sheet of Bronco between these people in here.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Let's hope they spend. They need to spend.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20I think they're spenders. They look like spenders to me.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25First up is the Gouda candlestick. Stand by Claire Rawle. Here we go.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Lot 60 is the Dutch Gouda glazed pottery candlestick.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Give me £15 for it. 15 to start me. 15?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Go on!- 15 bid. At 15. At 15.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- At £15.- Is that all?- Any more?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40At £15 only. I'm selling it at 15.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Dear me!- Dear, oh, dear! - That's my Gouda gone.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48£15. That's minus 13. I don't believe that.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Here come the pelicans.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Who wants a pelican? At £20 for it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5520. Pelicans at 20. 20 bid. At £20, now.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58I'll take two if you like. At £20 for the pelicans.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59At 20.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- One and only at the moment. At £20, I'm selling.- Oh, dear!
0:36:03 > 0:36:0420.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07£20. That is plus ten.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09That is plus two pounds. It's a profit.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11White metal extending pencil. Here it is.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Give me £25 for it. 25.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1525 to start me.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1720, then, to go.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19£20. 20. At the very back.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Back left at 20. Two, now.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2322 against you. 25.
0:36:23 > 0:36:2528. 30.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- 32.- Keep going!- Go on!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30One more? 35.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31£35. 38.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Go on, round it up.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- £40.- Thank you!
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Yes! £40.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40£40. Anybody else want to go at £40?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Go on.- Well done. £40.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Thank you!
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- £40. 1061.- Thank you, sir.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Perfect. That's plus £16.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53You were minus 11, which means overall you are plus a five pound note!
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Oh, that's OK.- How good was that?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57To finish up with a profit.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58You only spent £70.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Now, what are you going to do about this card case?
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- We're keeping our profit. I'm really sorry.- No, no, no.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05We're keeping the fiver.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- We want the fiver!- We've come here to make a profit.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I don't care how much it is. We've made a profit!
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- We're not losing that.- You're not going with the card case, then?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- No.- Even though you're not going with the bonus buy,
0:37:16 > 0:37:19we're going to sell it anyway. Just to see.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yes?- Just to put us in our place!
0:37:22 > 0:37:24Not necessarily. Here it comes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26£60 I'm bid already.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28At 60. At 60. 70.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Five here. At 75. 80. 90 with me.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34At £90. At 90.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36At 90, to a commission.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38100 on the phone. Commission's out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39At 100. Anybody else?
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- 110 on the internet.- 110. - That's good.- 110.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46120. 120 now. At 120 against the internet.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- 130.- You're going to get there.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50130. 140.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Internet, you're out.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54At £140. 150.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Oh, look at that! Look!
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- She's our girl.- 160.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01At 160, now. 160.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03On the telephone. And I will sell.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05At £160.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Yes!- Oh, well done!
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- That is good.- That is plus £20.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14That would have earned you £20 if you'd had some faith.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16But there it is.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Doesn't matter. You still have a profit of £5 in your pocket.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24That could be a winning score. Just don't say a dickie bird to those blues!
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Lewis, how you feeling, old fruit?
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Um...- Nervy?- A little bit nervous.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- I think...- Have you been chatting to those reds?
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- I think the head's going to be good. - I think the reds are a bit nervous.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- They're shaking.- They didn't tell you what the score is?- No.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46We don't want you to know what the score is.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49First up is the terrestrial globe. Here it comes.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Lot 77.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Who will go £30 for it?
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Round the world in one lot. Bid me 30. 30 is bid on the internet.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00At 30. 35. £35.
0:39:00 > 0:39:0235, still on the net. At £35.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0340 on the net. At £40.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05Five. £45.
0:39:05 > 0:39:0845 still on the internet. At 45. 50, now.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12At £50 it is. Five. 55 to the internet.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13At £55.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Anybody else? All done, then? £55.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22- You have just made £20.50. - I'll have your job!
0:39:22 > 0:39:24At a stroke!
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Look at that.- How have you done that?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Genius!- Genius. Look out.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Lot 78. £30 for it.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3230. Bid me 30. Where's 30?
0:39:32 > 0:39:35£30. 30 is bid on the net.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Five, sir, with you. 35 now in the room.

0:41:43 > 0:41:45Just your stupid head!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47There was nothing wrong with the head!
0:41:47 > 0:41:49I wouldn't buy a head if it looked like you, would I?
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Listen. £60.50 could be a winning score.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57Don't talk to the reds. All will be revealed in a moment. Brilliant.
0:42:02 > 0:42:07Brilliant. Isn't it lovely to have two teams of winners on Bargain Hunt.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Because both teams today go home with some money.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Which is really nice. It's just a question of scale.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18The runners-up today I'm afraid to report are the reds.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23You nevertheless take home a five pound note.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26We're winners because we got five pounds!
0:42:26 > 0:42:30You certainly did. To make any money on Bargain Hunt is a considerable achievement
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and I congratulate all three of you.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Thank you.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37- Have you had a good time? - We had a fantastic time. - Very lovely to see you.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39But the victors today by a large margin,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43because you're taking home £60.50,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45this doesn't happen often,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47and here comes your 50p.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Can't be denied the small change. That's right!
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Hand that over to poor Chris.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57It was jolly nearly getting towards golden gavel level, wasn't it?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59I think I should get one, cos it's only him that let us down.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Don't be like that. This is a team effort. Did you have a good time?
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- It's been wonderful.- Yeah. - We've had a marvellous time.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Yes!
0:43:10 > 0:43:14I know you're sitting there thinking, "I could do better than that!"
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:16 > 0:43:18If you think you can spot a bargain,
0:43:18 > 0:43:20go to our BBC website and apply.
