Just look at this amazing gadget.

0:00:010:00:04

It's a ducking stool,

0:00:040:00:06

a form of mechanised medieval punishment.

0:00:060:00:10

Let's hope we don't have just cause to use this today.

0:00:100:00:14

So, as we're in church,

0:00:140:00:15

a bit sotto - (let's go bargain hunting!)

0:00:150:00:18

Today we're treading the streets

0:00:450:00:47

in the historic town of Leominster

0:00:470:00:50

on a mission that's as black and white as the architecture.

0:00:500:00:54

And with its abundance of antique shops,

0:00:540:00:56

our teams today shouldn't be spoilt for choice.

0:00:560:01:00

Coming up on today's show:

0:01:010:01:03

the reds may get a spanking if they're not careful!

0:01:030:01:06

Lucky them!

0:01:060:01:07

Spanking?

0:01:070:01:09

No extra cost!

0:01:090:01:10

And will the deal come to a head with the blues?

0:01:120:01:14

-Twins.

-This is you. It's got to be you!

0:01:140:01:17

And before those treats, let's meet the teams.

0:01:180:01:20

On the teams today for the reds

0:01:220:01:24

we've got Sue and Graham,

0:01:240:01:25

married for some 35 years,

0:01:250:01:29

and Lewis and Chris, mates, for the blues.

0:01:290:01:31

-Welcome, everybody.

-Hi, Tim.

-Hi.

0:01:310:01:34

Now, you met Graham in the army.

0:01:340:01:37

Yes, he came home for the weekend with my twin brother when he was 16.

0:01:370:01:42

We didn't get on particularly well at that point,

0:01:420:01:44

but we met again at 18 when he rang me cos he had a telephone call from the army for free

0:01:440:01:51

and I think I was the only number he could remember at the time!

0:01:510:01:54

That's very complimentary, isn't it?

0:01:540:01:57

-Oh, yes.

-So you had a chat

0:01:570:01:59

and then you met up and then you got serious.

0:01:590:02:02

-Yeah. We were engaged at 18, married at 19.

-Lovely.

0:02:020:02:06

Graham, you worked your way up through the ranks, yes?

0:02:060:02:09

Yes. I joined the army when I was 16

0:02:090:02:12

and made my way up. I was very fortunate to get through all the ranks

0:02:120:02:17

and I was commissioned and finished off my army service as a commissioned officer.

0:02:170:02:21

-Right. Doing bomb disposal.

-That was my last five years.

0:02:210:02:25

-That was a change!

-Rather you than me!

0:02:250:02:27

It was a great job and I really enjoyed it.

0:02:270:02:30

A great job? You're unscrewing the side of a bomb with 1,000 tonnes of something or other

0:02:300:02:36

-which might blow you to smithereens!

-You don't think about that at the time!

0:02:360:02:39

You think about that afterwards.

0:02:390:02:41

-I think I would.

-The pressure really was on Sue.

0:02:410:02:44

Because I had everything I had to do. It was all in format and everything.

0:02:440:02:48

But Sue didn't know what was happening with me until she got the call the following day.

0:02:480:02:52

-That's tough, isn't it?

-It was goodbye each time.

-It is.

0:02:520:02:55

-Never really knowing.

-No.

0:02:550:02:58

But he was very good. He used to text me as soon as he'd finished

0:02:580:03:00

to let me know it was all done and dusted.

0:03:000:03:03

Tell us about this hobby of yours, geo-catching. What's all that about?

0:03:030:03:07

-Geocaching.

-Geocaching?

0:03:070:03:10

It's a hobby that Sue and I started about two years ago now.

0:03:100:03:13

Basically, it's a world-wide treasure hunt

0:03:130:03:17

whereby you go on the website and they give you some map co-ordinates,

0:03:170:03:21

it can be anywhere in the world,

0:03:210:03:23

and you find the co-ordinates and other geocachers have left little treasures there

0:03:230:03:29

so you record your find and then move on to the next.

0:03:290:03:32

We did it in America. We went to Tombstone.

0:03:320:03:34

There was one in Boot Hill.

0:03:340:03:36

And it's just worldwide.

0:03:360:03:38

It's the world's best kept secret until you actually join.

0:03:380:03:40

Is this going to qualify you any better as bargain hunters today?

0:03:400:03:44

-Oh, every nook and cranny we can go in, yes!

-You'll be ferreting around in.

0:03:440:03:48

-No cranny is safe from you!

-No cranny is safe from me and Graham!

0:03:480:03:52

Cranny hunters.

0:03:520:03:54

I'm already scared. If I was the blues, I'd be quaking in my boots!

0:03:540:03:58

-Are you quaking, boys?

-No.

-Don't like the idea of that bomb disposal!

0:03:580:04:02

That's all in the past.

0:04:020:04:04

Lewis, you're mates, right?

0:04:040:04:06

-Well, yeah.

-And you compare yourselves to a certain sitcom.

0:04:060:04:11

Yeah. Rodney and Del Boy.

0:04:110:04:14

-You'd be Rodney?

-I'm Rodney.

-Very good. And Chris is Del Boy, right?

0:04:140:04:18

Well, I think he's a plonker!

0:04:180:04:20

I can tell they're friends. Gosh!

0:04:210:04:23

So, Chris, when you're not winding up Lewis, what do you do?

0:04:230:04:27

I work in the local psychiatric hospital in Chester.

0:04:270:04:30

Ah, that figures. You take the mental approach.

0:04:300:04:34

-We do.

-We also run a racing syndicate for greyhounds.

0:04:340:04:38

-We've recently bought a greyhound.

-You never did?

-We did.

0:04:380:04:41

What's your hound called?

0:04:410:04:43

It's called Ella Harloch.

0:04:430:04:45

Do you each own a paw?

0:04:450:04:46

-I've got a leg.

-He's got a leg. I've got the mouth.

0:04:460:04:50

Oh, yes!

0:04:500:04:51

Good fun!

0:04:510:04:53

Do you reckon your team is going to go to the dogs today?

0:04:530:04:55

No, we're going to win, definitely.

0:04:550:04:58

-At all costs.

-Got any killer moves to defeat the reds?

0:04:580:05:01

-I just think we'll use our charm.

-Yeah.

-Oh, is that what it is?

0:05:010:05:05

Just rely on the charm.

0:05:050:05:07

He's not got much charm, but I think I help us out a little bit.

0:05:070:05:11

I can't believe you're such good friends!

0:05:110:05:13

Anyway, the money moment.

0:05:130:05:14

There's your £300. £300 apiece.

0:05:140:05:16

You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go! And very, very good luck.

0:05:160:05:21

Gone to the dogs, eh?

0:05:210:05:23

Hoping to stamp her authority on the red team

0:05:250:05:27

is the lovely Claire Rawle.

0:05:270:05:29

But unravelling the secrets behind some items may be too tricky

0:05:300:05:34

even for Paul Laidlaw coaching the blue team today.

0:05:340:05:37

I'm ex-military, so I'm going to go out there and attack!

0:05:420:05:45

-A bit of wheeling and dealing.

-Wheeling and dealing I like!

0:05:460:05:49

-Are we up for haggling? Can we do this?

-Definitely.

-That's going to be our aim today.

-Really?

0:05:490:05:53

We need to get in there and find the stuff, OK?

0:05:530:05:56

-Yep.

-Come on, then, let's get with it.

-OK.

0:05:560:05:58

We're on the clock. Straightaway, the boys are checking their expert's credentials.

0:05:580:06:04

What's your speciality, then, Paul?

0:06:040:06:06

I call myself a general practitioner.

0:06:060:06:08

No matter what you point me at, I'll have a considered opinion on it.

0:06:080:06:12

But Claire maintains discipline in the ranks.

0:06:120:06:15

Keep moving. Keep moving.

0:06:150:06:17

This is definitely going to be a game of two halves.

0:06:170:06:20

Bit out of our price range, that.

0:06:200:06:22

There's haggling, and then there's wishful thinking!

0:06:220:06:25

You can't afford that!

0:06:250:06:27

Claire, there's something over here. A Wedgwood?

0:06:270:06:31

-Yes.

-I think they're a bit old-fashioned, though.

0:06:310:06:34

I think you're right.

0:06:340:06:36

-That catches my eye.

-Yeah, that's nice.

-OK.

0:06:360:06:40

That's a bit more your sort of thing.

0:06:400:06:41

-That is nice.

-It's Dutch, 1929.

-Yes.

0:06:410:06:44

I like Art Deco, but I think the Mediterranean colours are very in at the moment.

0:06:440:06:49

It's actually quite a practical object as well.

0:06:490:06:51

-So it can be used.

-It is nice.

-It looks in good nick.

0:06:510:06:54

-It's nicely marked.

-42. It's a bit steep at 42, though.

0:06:540:06:57

It is a bit. But you can always negotiate.

0:06:570:06:59

-Do you want to have a stab at this one?

-Yes, we'll go with that one.

0:06:590:07:03

See if we can find whoever it is.

0:07:030:07:05

-If you don't want jewellery, why look at jewellery?

-I don't know.

0:07:050:07:08

Rodney, you are a dipstick!

0:07:080:07:10

Thanks for that.

0:07:100:07:12

Here we are. Here's the gentleman you need to charm.

0:07:120:07:16

-Found something?

-We have, yes.

0:07:160:07:17

We actually like this.

0:07:170:07:19

-That's very nice.

-It's very nice. But the price is at 42.

0:07:190:07:25

What do you want to do? Up or down?

0:07:250:07:27

Definitely down! I'm a down girl.

0:07:270:07:29

30 whisky vouchers and you can have it.

0:07:290:07:31

-GRAHAM:

-28 for cash?

-Go on!

0:07:310:07:34

-Go on. How can you resist?

-Go on, then.

0:07:340:07:37

Thank you very much. Thank you!

0:07:370:07:39

There's no messing with you, Sue.

0:07:390:07:41

This style of Dutch art pottery certainly isn't rare,

0:07:410:07:45

but it's a colourful start and bought within the first ten minutes.

0:07:450:07:48

So keep it up!

0:07:480:07:49

-Great! Well done!

-We're off!

0:07:490:07:51

Guys, it's ten minutes down.

0:07:520:07:55

Wait a minute. What about this?

0:07:550:07:57

Oh, OK. It's a bit "deer"!

0:07:570:08:00

Graham will be after my job next!

0:08:000:08:02

And you boys had better stop faffing about!

0:08:020:08:05

Looks like pool balls to me.

0:08:050:08:07

We've got our eye on these yellow and red balls.

0:08:070:08:10

I think we'll pass.

0:08:100:08:11

These reds could easily whip them into shape.

0:08:110:08:14

Spanking?

0:08:150:08:16

No extra cost!

0:08:170:08:19

-Ooh, we've got two.

-One in each hand!

0:08:190:08:22

I think it's best I don't say anything at this point.

0:08:220:08:24

But they're not the only ones losing the plot.

0:08:240:08:27

You absolute helmet.

0:08:280:08:30

Now, come on, boys. He who dares, wins, you know!

0:08:300:08:33

We need to find something with a fighting chance

0:08:330:08:36

and we need to start making plays.

0:08:360:08:38

This could be the one.

0:08:380:08:40

Dartmouth Pottery.

0:08:400:08:41

-It's an amazing piece of sculpture.

-Looks like you.

0:08:410:08:45

-Twins.

-Well, yeah.

0:08:450:08:48

This is you. This has got to be you.

0:08:480:08:50

How do I feel about it? I think that's an amazing object.

0:08:500:08:53

How much do you reckon it'll be worth?

0:08:530:08:54

I have no idea.

0:08:540:08:56

I think this is a £50 object.

0:08:560:08:58

It's 65.

0:08:580:09:00

They're not bringing anything to the party. Dartmouth Pottery.

0:09:000:09:03

It says it on the tin. Do you see any merit in this?

0:09:030:09:06

-He has doubts. You see something in it?

-Looks like you.

0:09:080:09:10

Yeah. You go for it.

0:09:100:09:12

-What do we want to pay for it?

-On your head be it!

0:09:120:09:16

I'd say, if it looks like you, about £10.

0:09:170:09:20

But realistically, maybe... I'm happy to pay £40 for that, maybe.

0:09:200:09:26

I think 40 is £10 too much.

0:09:260:09:28

You reckon? 30?

0:09:280:09:29

Right, then, Rodders. Find Stan the dealer and see what you can do.

0:09:290:09:33

-Stan.

-You want a price on this, do you?

-Yes, please.

0:09:350:09:37

Um, I'm thinking about £10, to be honest.

0:09:390:09:42

No, really. Make an offer.

0:09:450:09:47

Make an offer? OK. I'll double it to £20.

0:09:470:09:50

I think that's a reasonable price.

0:09:500:09:52

Tell you what. I'll give you the best price and you can say yes or no.

0:09:520:09:55

And that price would be £50.

0:09:550:09:57

No. It's got to be no.

0:09:570:09:59

Definitely for £30?

0:09:590:10:01

Certainly not. No, sorry. 50 is the best we can do.

0:10:010:10:03

-OK.

-Never mind.

-Thanks very much. Cheers.

-That's alright.

-Thank you.

0:10:030:10:07

-How did you get on?

-He wanted £50 for it.

0:10:070:10:10

That's at the high end of where we'd need to be.

0:10:110:10:14

We'd have to be desperate. But we're not plumping for these at the moment?

0:10:140:10:17

We need to try and find a little gem.

0:10:170:10:20

What can't speak can't lie.

0:10:200:10:23

Well, there's no arguing with that one, I suppose.

0:10:230:10:26

-We tend to argue quite a bit.

-Do you?

0:10:260:10:29

-With regard to what we're going to buy.

-Who wins?

0:10:290:10:31

I allow him to argue with me and then I win!

0:10:310:10:35

Sounds good. You go on ahead. Let's see what we can find.

0:10:350:10:38

Graham, don't you just love 'em?

0:10:380:10:41

Now, reds, this is no training exercise.

0:10:410:10:43

You're meant to be on the attack.

0:10:430:10:45

Meanwhile, the blues are already mapping out their next move.

0:10:450:10:49

What do you think of this? I quite like this.

0:10:490:10:51

-Apart from the base.

-A globe. Why do you like that?

0:10:510:10:55

I've always liked them, to be honest. I don't know why.

0:10:550:10:58

I think they're quirky little things.

0:10:580:11:00

But the base looks very '70s, like.

0:11:000:11:02

-Plastic.

-It could be as early as '50s, you know.

0:11:020:11:05

It seems really smart. What would you do with that?

0:11:050:11:08

Sell it at auction.

0:11:080:11:10

You are so on plan! Right, then.

0:11:110:11:14

I reckon we could get...50 quid for that at auction.

0:11:140:11:19

I totally agree with you.

0:11:190:11:21

Are there any problems with it condition wise?

0:11:210:11:23

So this is a moulded plastic base,

0:11:230:11:25

I think '50s, '60s.

0:11:250:11:28

Chrome, and then paper gores

0:11:280:11:32

laid onto...maybe card or something like.

0:11:320:11:37

And it's all there, isn't it?

0:11:380:11:40

Made by Philips, big publishers.

0:11:400:11:42

There's a big dent in there.

0:11:420:11:44

Somebody's throwing darts at it. It's not a million miles off. I like it.

0:11:440:11:47

Price tag is...

0:11:470:11:49

£48.

0:11:490:11:51

That's in the right ball park, isn't it?

0:11:510:11:54

-Are we liking this? I think you'll get it for 40. If you're any good, you'll get it for 35.

-OK.

0:11:540:11:59

-If we can get it for 35...

-So you go solo this time.

0:11:590:12:02

-Yeah.

-We'll keep scratching about up here.

0:12:020:12:04

-But with 15 or 20 minutes gone, it would be good to get one under the...

-Let's do it.

0:12:040:12:08

Do it. Good man. Nice spot.

0:12:080:12:10

Are you all right, sir?

0:12:100:12:12

I quite like this. What's your best price you can do on that?

0:12:130:12:17

-Well, I'm authorised to reduce this by 10% for you.

-OK.

0:12:170:12:22

But perhaps we can do a little bit better than that.

0:12:220:12:25

It says 48.

0:12:250:12:27

I could let you have it for £40.

0:12:270:12:29

I was looking for 30.

0:12:300:12:32

-I know I'm asking a lot.

-You're asking the world!

0:12:320:12:35

I'm asking the world! Very good.

0:12:350:12:36

-So you say...

-Well, I say 30, you say 40.

0:12:360:12:42

I'm going to say 31, you'll say 49.

0:12:420:12:45

-So we'll say 33.

-No.

0:12:450:12:48

35 and we've got a deal.

0:12:480:12:50

35.

0:12:500:12:51

-34.

-And a half.

-Go on, then.

0:12:510:12:55

-Right.

-Pleasure doing business with you.

0:12:550:12:58

Is that a happy man or not?

0:12:580:13:00

How much did you want me to get it for?

0:13:000:13:03

Ideally, 30, 35.

0:13:040:13:06

-It was on for 48, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

0:13:060:13:09

Tell me.

0:13:090:13:11

60.

0:13:110:13:12

34 and a half.

0:13:140:13:16

Get in, that man!

0:13:160:13:18

-Well done!

-The first I've done.

-Well done, you.

0:13:180:13:21

Lovely jubbly. That's one down, and you've caught up with the reds.

0:13:210:13:24

Running out of time.

0:13:250:13:27

You certainly are.

0:13:270:13:28

Less looking and more buying, especially as the blues have now invaded home territory. Look out!

0:13:280:13:34

-Knee-jerk reaction.

-I like that.

0:13:340:13:37

-No! You surprise me.

-I actually like that.

-I thought you'd say, "What are you doing?"

-I like it.

0:13:370:13:40

I'll tell you why I picked it up.

0:13:400:13:42

Medals, militaria, military history, hot.

0:13:420:13:46

Say no more.

0:13:460:13:48

What do we have here?

0:13:480:13:50

We have a memorial photograph frame

0:13:500:13:53

to one of the fallen of the Great War, the First World War.

0:13:530:13:57

"The path of duty was the way to glory."

0:13:570:14:00

You've got the sailor and the soldier here,

0:14:000:14:03

mourning their fallen comrade.

0:14:030:14:06

We've got an angel of victory, perhaps, up here.

0:14:060:14:10

The vacant aperture for the photograph.

0:14:100:14:13

And look at this. The aircraft in the skies.

0:14:130:14:17

-Looks like...

-Metal.

-..bronze.

0:14:170:14:20

It's plaster.

0:14:200:14:22

It was cheap. And that's why we've got this damage.

0:14:220:14:25

In an oak frame. What have we got at the back?

0:14:250:14:28

There's your little door to put your photograph in.

0:14:280:14:32

-How much do you reckon...

-Is it worth?

0:14:320:14:35

Even with the damage, I think that's worth 30 to £60.

0:14:350:14:38

Hi. Is it Stan?

0:14:380:14:40

How are you doing?

0:14:400:14:41

A mystery lot.

0:14:410:14:44

Parked there.

0:14:440:14:46

This plaster memorial frame.

0:14:460:14:49

But there's nothing on it.

0:14:490:14:51

At all.

0:14:510:14:53

You'll have to excuse me for a minute. I'll make enquiries and return.

0:14:550:14:58

Great. Thank you.

0:14:580:15:00

It's moulded glass, rather than cut.

0:15:000:15:02

I think it's broken as well, there.

0:15:020:15:04

Yeah. No, it's a bit of a dodgy one, that.

0:15:040:15:07

Move on!

0:15:070:15:09

There's another "deer" item!

0:15:090:15:11

No-eye-deer!

0:15:110:15:13

I can tell you now that the price of this item is £35.

0:15:140:15:17

OK.

0:15:170:15:19

Even with the open cracks?

0:15:190:15:22

Well, that's the starting price.

0:15:220:15:24

Perhaps we can do a bit better for you.

0:15:240:15:26

So I could come down to 30.

0:15:260:15:30

I'm breaking a golden rule if I buy it.

0:15:300:15:32

Never buy a piece that I have to apologise for,

0:15:320:15:34

and the auctioneer is going to say, "Why did they buy a broken one?"

0:15:340:15:37

No way that could be 25, then?

0:15:370:15:39

Yes, all right. We'll say 25.

0:15:390:15:41

-Shake on it.

-Thank you, sir.

0:15:410:15:43

We're all happy with that, yeah?

0:15:430:15:45

-That's on the money.

-Thank you, Stan.

0:15:450:15:46

-Thank you, Stan.

-Thank you very much.

0:15:460:15:48

-I'll take it away and wrap it for you.

-Great stuff.

0:15:480:15:51

Thank you. Yes!

0:15:510:15:53

And that second buy takes you boys into the lead at the half-way mark.

0:15:530:15:56

Now, reds, you're definitely losing the battle.

0:15:590:16:01

More goods. Come on, Graham, where's this attacking spirit of yours?

0:16:010:16:05

I'll be going back to those whips, soon!

0:16:050:16:07

Ooh, is that a promise?

0:16:070:16:08

I say, Claire. This is a day-time show, you know!

0:16:080:16:11

-He's nice. I like him.

-You like that?

0:16:110:16:14

-I like that as well. It's great.

-Do you?

0:16:140:16:16

-I like that.

-So you both like the same thing?

0:16:160:16:19

I'll go so far as to say I do like that and I agree with Sue on this occasion.

0:16:190:16:23

-Hooray!

-This is a momentous moment!

0:16:230:16:26

-So we definitely want this one.

-Right.

0:16:260:16:27

Great. OK. So, what do you... OK.

0:16:270:16:30

Have a look. See what you think.

0:16:300:16:32

Let's check him over a bit. Marked on the bottom there.

0:16:320:16:35

Shall we go for it?

0:16:350:16:37

-You're going to have a go?

-Shall we see what we can get it for?

0:16:370:16:40

Yes, OK. Use your skills again.

0:16:400:16:42

We'll ask him for the bill!

0:16:420:16:44

BOTH GROAN

0:16:440:16:46

Hello.

0:16:460:16:48

We just wondered what your bestest best would be on the pelican.

0:16:480:16:53

Um. 28.

0:16:530:16:55

Well, we usually do ten per cent here,

0:16:550:16:58

which would probably be about 25.

0:16:580:17:01

Is it only going to cost us ten per cent? £2.80?

0:17:010:17:03

I might buy it for that!

0:17:040:17:06

-We'll take it.

-£20.

0:17:070:17:10

-Is that the best?

-I was hoping to get down a bit further, Sue.

0:17:100:17:13

-You wouldn't do 15, at all?

-I can't. No, no.

0:17:130:17:16

17. What about 17?

0:17:160:17:18

I can't, honestly.

0:17:180:17:20

But to help you out, the best is 18.

0:17:200:17:24

What do you think, Claire?

0:17:240:17:26

-That sounds pretty good.

-That's super.

0:17:260:17:28

-That's a deal, then. I'll get it wrapped up for you.

-Thank you.

0:17:280:17:31

Thank you.

0:17:310:17:32

That was an easy one for you, Claire.

0:17:320:17:34

They both liked it straightaway, and a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

0:17:340:17:37

The pressure's on because we're now into the final 15 minutes.

0:17:400:17:44

So, you blues, is it time to get "a head"?

0:17:450:17:48

It is a gamble.

0:17:480:17:49

And at 50, I think it's too much.

0:17:490:17:51

-We like a gamble.

-We do like a gamble.

0:17:510:17:53

We do like a gamble.

0:17:530:17:55

-Tell you what.

-The coin's coming out!

0:17:550:17:59

-Heads.

-What is heads, though?

0:18:010:18:03

-Heads we get the item, or...

-Heads we get the head!

0:18:030:18:05

-Heads we get the head.

-Yeah.

0:18:050:18:08

Graham, have you seen anything yet?

0:18:080:18:09

You do realise that when we fail miserably, it'll be your fault?

0:18:090:18:12

Not only do I win all the arguments,

0:18:120:18:15

but he's always at fault.

0:18:150:18:17

There's a Victorian mechanical pencil there.

0:18:170:18:20

A little propelling... Yes.

0:18:200:18:22

I suppose it'll have to have the leads with it, though.

0:18:220:18:25

-No, no.

-Is it silver?

-It doesn't need to have lead in its pencil.

0:18:250:18:29

You can sell it without!

0:18:290:18:30

You see, I don't like it.

0:18:320:18:35

-I do.

-OK. All right.

0:18:350:18:37

-I like the look of it.

-Shall we see?

0:18:370:18:39

-I like it.

-Graham, what do you think of that, then?

0:18:450:18:47

-I think it's quite nice.

-Have a good look.

0:18:470:18:49

-It's quite heavy as well.

-Nice little inlaid stone at the end.

0:18:490:18:53

It should have a silver mark on it. Can you see it anywhere, Graham?

0:18:530:18:56

I've got my contacts in, Claire. I can't see anything unless it's about four miles away!

0:18:560:19:00

That should just slide down.

0:19:000:19:02

And out it pops.

0:19:020:19:04

It should have a hallmark on it.

0:19:040:19:06

-There should be a mark there. Has he put silver?

-He's put silver, so it should have.

0:19:060:19:10

No pressure, eye, but it would be nice if I could spot something.

0:19:100:19:14

Looks it. I know that sounds ridiculous.

0:19:140:19:17

But I can't see plate coming through so it looks fine.

0:19:170:19:21

-In for the kill.

-Right. It's £28.

0:19:210:19:24

Get it down cheap as possible.

0:19:240:19:26

-It's from the...

-And it's time.

0:19:260:19:28

Graham's doing the stuttering.

0:19:280:19:30

OK. Sorry. It's Graham's.

0:19:300:19:33

-Based on the 10% rule of £2.80, then...

-You want it for £2.80?

0:19:330:19:38

Yes. We've been there already!

0:19:380:19:41

Yeah, I would hope that we could come down to £14.

0:19:420:19:48

Right. Um, no.

0:19:500:19:53

This belongs to another dealer which I would have to ring

0:19:530:19:57

to get confirmation on.

0:19:570:19:59

Obviously I can do 24.

0:19:590:20:01

But if we want any more than that, we have to give him a ring.

0:20:010:20:04

-Time's ticking away. Can you get him on the phone?

-I'll get him on the phone.

0:20:040:20:07

They'll take a punt at 35 quid.

0:20:070:20:11

I said I'd come down to 50.

0:20:120:20:14

But if you're struggling, perhaps we could come down a bit more.

0:20:140:20:16

-That's why I'm here.

-Make it 40.

0:20:160:20:19

I really can't go any lower than that.

0:20:190:20:21

-35 quid?

-I'm staying at 40. I'm sorry.

0:20:210:20:23

40. Go on, £40.

0:20:230:20:26

Thanks, Stan. You've looked after us. Appreciate that.

0:20:260:20:29

We'll take a punt. Why not take a punt?

0:20:290:20:31

Great, Stan. I'll go and tell them.

0:20:310:20:33

Go on, then, my son. Now, Graham, Sue. Did you get in range?

0:20:330:20:37

-Thank goodness.

-He said it is £24. I tried my best.

0:20:370:20:41

You've bought three things!

0:20:410:20:43

Oh, no!

0:20:430:20:45

I tried my damnedest. 40 was it, and we bought it.

0:20:460:20:49

-Yes.

-But I...love it.

0:20:490:20:52

Stop holding it up to my face!

0:20:520:20:54

It is you. That is you.

0:20:540:20:56

I hate it!

0:20:560:20:58

-We'll go for that, then. That's it.

-Yeah.

-We're done.

0:20:580:21:01

Let's just hope it IS silver!

0:21:010:21:03

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

0:21:030:21:05

Well done, Graham.

0:21:050:21:07

Got there in the end! Phew! Just!

0:21:070:21:10

Attention, all. That completes your mission.

0:21:100:21:12

Now, let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.

0:21:120:21:15

The reds lit up when they found Gouda glazed pottery candlestick.

0:21:170:21:20

And didn't blow the budget at £28.

0:21:200:21:23

They both fell for this 1930s glazed pottery pelican

0:21:260:21:29

and got it for £18.

0:21:290:21:31

Then in the final moments,

0:21:360:21:38

Graham was surprised to find some lead in this silver pencil

0:21:380:21:41

and they sealed the deal at £24.

0:21:410:21:43

-That was a good day.

-Yes.

-We didn't do too bad.

-Enjoyed it all right?

0:21:460:21:49

-Yes.

-Very much so.

0:21:490:21:50

Rumour has it that you lot only spent £40. True or false?

0:21:500:21:54

-False. We spent 70.

-On the lot?

0:21:540:21:57

-On the lot, yes. We did really try hard!

-OK, fine.

0:21:570:22:00

You have £230 then, somewhere.

0:22:000:22:02

-I do.

-Well done, Susan. Thank you very much.

0:22:020:22:04

£230 goes straight across to the lovely Claire.

0:22:040:22:07

-Thank you.

-What are you going to spend it on?

0:22:070:22:09

I'm not completely decided.

0:22:090:22:11

I have certain instructions in my ear.

0:22:110:22:14

-Do you?

-Something pretty and decorative.

-Do your instructions come from on high, or down below?

0:22:140:22:19

A bit of both, I think!

0:22:190:22:21

I hope you have the inspiration, darling. Very good luck with that.

0:22:220:22:25

Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the blue team bought, aren't we?

0:22:250:22:28

They asked for the world and got it

0:22:290:22:31

by squeezing down the price of this globe to £34.50.

0:22:310:22:35

Then they went into battle with this First World War oak frame.

0:22:370:22:40

£25 paid.

0:22:400:22:41

And finally, Louis somehow saw a likeness to Chris

0:22:430:22:46

in this Dartmouth black female bust.

0:22:460:22:49

And they bagged it for £40.

0:22:490:22:51

We did really well.

0:22:540:22:55

Is this man a wily Scot, or is he a wily Scot?

0:22:550:22:58

-What would you say?

-I think the pair of you are ganging up on me.

0:23:000:23:03

Del Boy, don't you go taking it personally.

0:23:040:23:07

And as for you, Rodney, I don't know!

0:23:070:23:10

Now, you spent all round how much?

0:23:100:23:12

-£99.50.

-That's quite precise, isn't it?

0:23:120:23:15

And not a lot of cash, I have to say.

0:23:150:23:17

But that's OK. £200.50, please.

0:23:170:23:20

-That's the 50p.

-Thank you.

0:23:200:23:22

There's the 50. There's the 200.

0:23:220:23:24

Now, my old Scottish fruit.

0:23:240:23:26

Listen to that giggle! What are you going to do?

0:23:260:23:30

-Blank canvas.

-Blank canvas.

0:23:300:23:32

Everything was ploughed into this exercise. Nothing in reserve.

0:23:320:23:36

But it's a good place, this. There are lots of cabinets and things to rootle around for.

0:23:360:23:40

Yes, and a really broad spectrum of price, it has to be said.

0:23:400:23:46

Well, you have got £200.50,

0:23:460:23:48

which should be enough to fire your cannon!

0:23:480:23:51

Anyway, very good luck with that.

0:23:510:23:52

Now, the origin of the species and all that.

0:23:520:23:55

We're heading off to Charles Darwin's town house. Oo-ah!

0:23:550:24:00

Charles Darwin once wrote that,

0:24:060:24:08

"From so simple a beginning,

0:24:080:24:10

"endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful

0:24:100:24:13

"have been, and are being, evolved."

0:24:130:24:16

Imagine having an idea. An idea so revolutionary

0:24:170:24:21

that it changes the way that the whole of mankind

0:24:210:24:25

understands its origins.

0:24:250:24:27

Well...

0:24:300:24:31

..you'd have to be pretty certain of your theory

0:24:320:24:36

and have a lot of hard evidence to back it up.

0:24:360:24:40

And believe it or not, Charles Darwin

0:24:400:24:43

kept the original manuscript which had his original reasoning

0:24:430:24:50

in this cupboard, underneath the stairs here at Down House, his family home,

0:24:500:24:56

for 15 years.

0:24:560:24:58

Along with a letter marked, "To be opened in the case of my sudden death."

0:24:580:25:03

And with instructions to his wife to devote £400 to its publication.

0:25:030:25:08

Having written the original draft,

0:25:090:25:11

Darwin continued with his experiments

0:25:110:25:14

just to be able to be certain that he could confound his critics.

0:25:140:25:20

Whatever you do, don't stick your finger in this carnivorous plant!

0:25:200:25:25

The common belief at the time was that the reason so many living creatures

0:25:260:25:29

were similar in their underlying structures

0:25:290:25:32

was that they had all been designed by the divine hand.

0:25:320:25:36

However, Darwin argued that these underlying structures

0:25:360:25:40

had in fact been produced over very long periods of time

0:25:400:25:44

through a process he named natural selection.

0:25:440:25:47

Darwin understood very well why his theory would cause consternation

0:25:470:25:53

in 19th-century society.

0:25:530:25:55

After all, his wife was a practising Christian.

0:25:550:25:59

And he knew that he would be attacked on all sides were he to publish.

0:25:590:26:06

He said in a letter that admitting that species were not immutable

0:26:060:26:12

was tantamount to confessing to murder!

0:26:120:26:15

But in 1859, he was forced to publish

0:26:150:26:19

when he discovered that another naturalist appeared to be coming to similar conclusions.

0:26:190:26:24

This is a first edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species.

0:26:250:26:31

On the face of it, a pretty boring book!

0:26:310:26:35

There's nothing about the binding

0:26:350:26:37

that screams, "I am rare and extremely sought-after."

0:26:370:26:41

It is just a cloth binding.

0:26:410:26:44

Open to the fly-leaf

0:26:440:26:46

and you get a hint that it's amazing

0:26:460:26:50

because it says, in Darwin's hand,

0:26:500:26:52

"From the author", because this volume was given to a friend

0:26:520:26:57

who'd actively encouraged him to proceed and publish.

0:26:570:27:01

And equally interesting,

0:27:010:27:02

if I turn to this marked page,

0:27:020:27:05

and we go to the end paragraph of Chapter Six,

0:27:050:27:11

it reads, "It is generally acknowledged

0:27:110:27:14

"that all organic beings have been formed on two great laws -

0:27:140:27:20

Unity of Type, and the Conditions of Existence."

0:27:200:27:23

Fine. That's in the book.

0:27:230:27:26

But the double whammy and thrill here is that in the collection at Down House,

0:27:260:27:31

we've got the original Charles Darwin manuscript.

0:27:310:27:35

"Unity of Type and the Conditions of Existence."

0:27:350:27:39

Except even this early manuscript was altered by Darwin.

0:27:390:27:44

Look. He adds Paragraph A.

0:27:440:27:46

And on this sheet, we've got Paragraph A and B.

0:27:460:27:50

His amendments to the original manuscript

0:27:500:27:52

still exist.

0:27:520:27:53

Is that special?

0:27:530:27:56

You bet your life it is!

0:27:560:27:58

Now, for our teams back at the auction,

0:27:580:28:00

it's survival of the fittest.

0:28:000:28:02

Well, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be at Halls sale room

0:28:120:28:15

on Welsh Bridge in Shrewsbury

0:28:150:28:18

with Jeremy Lammond.

0:28:180:28:20

-Jeremy, how are you.

-Welcome, Tim.

-Thank you very much.

0:28:200:28:23

We'll see how our red team have invested with their first item,

0:28:230:28:27

the Gouda candlestick.

0:28:270:28:29

We see lots and lots of it, which may be a problem in terms of value.

0:28:290:28:32

-It's not rare.

-Not rare, but quite colourful, and quite jolly.

0:28:320:28:37

-Yes.

-How much, then, do you think?

0:28:370:28:39

We think 20 to 30.

0:28:390:28:41

£28 they paid, so they're on the button there, really.

0:28:410:28:43

Yes, they might get out of it.

0:28:430:28:45

And their second item are these rather jolly porcelain pelicans.

0:28:450:28:49

How do you rate those?

0:28:490:28:50

-We think 20 or £30.

-Perfect.

0:28:500:28:52

-£18 they paid.

-Should be all right.

-That's fair enough.

0:28:520:28:56

I find that rather fun, I have to say.

0:28:560:28:59

Well, it is. What's curious about it

0:28:590:29:02

is it's from Romania, and you think, what has Romania got to do with pelicans?

0:29:020:29:07

-That is a very valid question.

-The largest breeding group of Eurasian Whites

0:29:070:29:12

-are bred on the Danube Delta.

-They never are?

-Romania.

0:29:120:29:16

That's interesting, isn't it? And lastly,

0:29:160:29:19

is the silver propelling pencil. How do you rate that?

0:29:190:29:23

-I think it is again 20 or £30.

-Do you?

0:29:230:29:27

-Is it silver?

-Well, it's not hallmarked.

0:29:270:29:30

There's no sterling mark, so technically we can't call it silver.

0:29:300:29:34

-We call it white metal.

-OK, fine.

0:29:340:29:36

£24 they paid, actually.

0:29:360:29:38

So all round, they were extremely tight with their money,

0:29:380:29:41

only spending £70.

0:29:410:29:43

They can't expect vast profits on that.

0:29:430:29:46

-No, but they haven't spent too much, so they should be all right.

-Fine.

0:29:460:29:50

The next step is, will they need their bonus buy?

0:29:500:29:53

First off, let's go and have a look at it.

0:29:530:29:56

Now, Sue and Graham. You spent, ducks, £70.

0:29:560:30:00

It's not a lot of cash, is it?

0:30:000:30:02

No, we were planning a bit more,

0:30:020:30:04

-but it was just the way the cookie crumbled.

-I know that crumble.

0:30:040:30:07

OK. £230 of leftover lolly

0:30:070:30:10

went to the girl.

0:30:100:30:11

Claire, what did you spend your 230 on?

0:30:110:30:15

-Well, it's sort of...

-Blingy.

-..blingy.

0:30:150:30:19

Oh!

0:30:190:30:20

-It's quite nice.

-What is it, Claire?

0:30:220:30:24

It's a little silver card case.

0:30:240:30:27

In the days when if you went visiting,

0:30:270:30:29

you took your card with you.

0:30:290:30:31

So the top is hinged.

0:30:310:30:32

And you kept your cards inside.

0:30:320:30:34

And it's beautifully decorative. It's silver.

0:30:340:30:37

Solid silver. Edwardian.

0:30:370:30:39

-I thought it was beautifully decorated.

-It is very nice.

0:30:390:30:42

I like that. It has grown on me, definitely.

0:30:420:30:44

-How much did you pay?

-140.

0:30:440:30:47

I'm hoping there'll be a bit of profit. I'd like it to make a bit more than that.

0:30:470:30:51

£140, I'd have expected the cards as well!

0:30:510:30:53

Good.

0:30:530:30:55

On that happy note, let's, for the audience at home, find out what the auctioneer thinks of Claire's case.

0:30:550:31:02

Well, Jeremy. Busy old sale room, this. What do you make of that?

0:31:030:31:07

It's an Edwardian silver embossed card case.

0:31:070:31:11

A bit thin in the centre.

0:31:110:31:12

Birmingham 1906.

0:31:120:31:15

Pretty enough. Not rare.

0:31:150:31:17

What do you mean, thin in the centre?

0:31:170:31:20

Well, it's been monogrammed, and that's been polished out a bit.

0:31:200:31:24

-Oh, I see.

-That may affect people's view of it, really.

0:31:240:31:28

But it's solid enough.

0:31:280:31:30

-60 to £80.

-60 to 80, he said.

0:31:300:31:32

She paid £140.

0:31:320:31:35

Anyway, that's it for the reds.

0:31:350:31:36

Now for the blues.

0:31:360:31:38

What a spread of objects they've got.

0:31:380:31:40

First up the schoolroom globe.

0:31:400:31:42

This is a Philips Terrestrial.

0:31:420:31:45

It's about 1965 or so.

0:31:450:31:48

If you're going to buy one of these anywhere,

0:31:480:31:50

you need to make sure that these gores are in good condition.

0:31:500:31:54

This one's a bit dented, and a bit scratched around here.

0:31:540:31:58

Well, it has been in the schoolroom, hasn't it?

0:31:580:32:00

Well, it has. Somebody's been round the world with it.

0:32:000:32:03

They definitely have.

0:32:030:32:05

-40 to £60.

-40 to £60. That's very good.

0:32:050:32:08

£34.50, they paid.

0:32:080:32:10

-Yep.

-That's a cracker, then, for £34.50.

-It should be.

0:32:100:32:13

-Stands a good chance.

-Yes.

-Excellent.

0:32:130:32:15

Next is the plaster and oak First World War memorial frame.

0:32:150:32:21

Not the greatest of subject matter, this, is it?

0:32:210:32:25

It's a bit maudlin, isn't it, really?

0:32:250:32:28

In today's market, with the damage...

0:32:280:32:31

-Not so good.

-Difficult to shift, really.

0:32:310:32:33

OK. How much, do you think?

0:32:330:32:34

-We think 40 to 60.

-That's OK. £25 paid.

0:32:340:32:37

Lastly is the Dartmouth Pottery mask.

0:32:370:32:42

Tell us about that. Dartmouth Pottery.

0:32:420:32:45

Dartmouth, Torquay. 1948 established.

0:32:450:32:47

So it is a post-war head, this, really.

0:32:470:32:51

I think it's quite evocative and it would fit into most interiors.

0:32:510:32:55

How popular is Dartmouth Pottery?

0:32:550:32:58

Difficult to say. We don't sell much of it.

0:32:580:33:01

I've never sold a sculptural piece like this.

0:33:010:33:03

So we put a tentative 20 to 30 on it.

0:33:030:33:06

OK. £40 paid. I think this is a very interesting trio of objects.

0:33:060:33:10

But just in case it goes, as they say, bottoms up,

0:33:100:33:14

let's have a look at the bonus buy.

0:33:140:33:16

Well, chaps, you spent £99.50

0:33:170:33:20

which is what they call paltry.

0:33:200:33:21

£200.50 went to Paul Laidlaw. What did you spend it on, Paul?

0:33:210:33:26

-Oh, my God.

-Seriously, what do you make of that?

0:33:260:33:29

-Um, shall I?

-Yes, please.

0:33:290:33:32

Is this a wind-up?

0:33:320:33:33

Ye of little faith!

0:33:330:33:36

Now, this is not what I usually buy, OK?

0:33:360:33:39

Late '60s, early '70s in supremely good condition.

0:33:390:33:45

It is good to go, and that's what your market wants.

0:33:450:33:48

Talking of markets,

0:33:480:33:49

this is what your youthful buyer is looking for.

0:33:490:33:53

-How much?

-It wasn't £200.

0:33:530:33:55

It was 30.

0:33:550:33:57

-£30.

-That was a good buy, I'm telling you.

0:33:570:34:01

Would you have that in your house?

0:34:010:34:02

-Never in a million years.

-Is it plastic?

-Yes.

0:34:020:34:05

-The head now is starting to look...

-I'd have thought you'd like this.

0:34:050:34:08

Anyway, Del Boy and Rodney are going to cogitate on this.

0:34:080:34:12

You don't pick it now, you decide later.

0:34:120:34:14

But for you at home, let's find out whether the auctioneer is in tune with the modern generation.

0:34:140:34:19

OK, Jeremy. This is your favourite period, the 1960s.

0:34:210:34:24

Yes. It could fit into any 1960s interior that you care to mention.

0:34:240:34:30

-Yeah.

-And Paul Laidlaw, the canny Scot,

0:34:300:34:34

he's always one to be known to go with the alternative product.

0:34:340:34:38

We think 30 to £50.

0:34:380:34:40

He'll be delighted, cos he only paid £30.

0:34:400:34:42

-Well...

-I bet you this team go with this bonus buy

0:34:420:34:45

because they're adventuresome like this with things that are different.

0:34:450:34:49

Thank you very much for your words of wisdom.

0:34:490:34:52

Let's just hope it's not a question of pearls cast before swine.

0:34:520:34:58

-This is it, then.

-Yes.

-We're on the edge.

-Exciting.

0:35:040:35:07

-Look at how crowded this sale room is. Isn't that good?

-Excellent.

0:35:070:35:10

You couldn't get a sheet of Bronco between these people in here.

0:35:100:35:14

Let's hope they spend. They need to spend.

0:35:140:35:16

I think they're spenders. They look like spenders to me.

0:35:160:35:20

First up is the Gouda candlestick. Stand by Claire Rawle. Here we go.

0:35:200:35:25

Lot 60 is the Dutch Gouda glazed pottery candlestick.

0:35:250:35:28

Give me £15 for it. 15 to start me. 15?

0:35:280:35:31

-Go on!

-15 bid. At 15. At 15.

0:35:310:35:35

-At £15.

-Is that all?

-Any more?

0:35:350:35:37

At £15 only. I'm selling it at 15.

0:35:370:35:40

-Dear me!

-Dear, oh, dear!

-That's my Gouda gone.

0:35:430:35:45

£15. That's minus 13. I don't believe that.

0:35:450:35:48

Here come the pelicans.

0:35:480:35:50

Who wants a pelican? At £20 for it.

0:35:500:35:52

20. Pelicans at 20. 20 bid. At £20, now.

0:35:520:35:55

I'll take two if you like. At £20 for the pelicans.

0:35:550:35:58

At 20.

0:35:580:35:59

-One and only at the moment. At £20, I'm selling.

-Oh, dear!

0:35:590:36:03

20.

0:36:030:36:04

£20. That is plus ten.

0:36:040:36:07

That is plus two pounds. It's a profit.

0:36:070:36:09

White metal extending pencil. Here it is.

0:36:090:36:11

Give me £25 for it. 25.

0:36:110:36:14

25 to start me.

0:36:140:36:15

20, then, to go.

0:36:150:36:17

£20. 20. At the very back.

0:36:170:36:19

Back left at 20. Two, now.

0:36:190:36:21

22 against you. 25.

0:36:210:36:23

28. 30.

0:36:230:36:25

-32.

-Keep going!

-Go on!

0:36:250:36:28

One more? 35.

0:36:280:36:30

£35. 38.

0:36:300:36:31

Go on, round it up.

0:36:310:36:33

-£40.

-Thank you!

0:36:330:36:35

Yes! £40.

0:36:350:36:36

£40. Anybody else want to go at £40?

0:36:360:36:40

-Go on.

-Well done. £40.

0:36:400:36:43

Thank you!

0:36:430:36:44

-£40. 1061.

-Thank you, sir.

0:36:440:36:47

Perfect. That's plus £16.

0:36:470:36:49

You were minus 11, which means overall you are plus a five pound note!

0:36:490:36:53

-Oh, that's OK.

-How good was that?

0:36:530:36:55

To finish up with a profit.

0:36:550:36:57

You only spent £70.

0:36:570:36:58

Now, what are you going to do about this card case?

0:36:580:37:00

-We're keeping our profit. I'm really sorry.

-No, no, no.

0:37:000:37:04

We're keeping the fiver.

0:37:040:37:05

-We want the fiver!

-We've come here to make a profit.

0:37:050:37:07

I don't care how much it is. We've made a profit!

0:37:070:37:10

-We're not losing that.

-You're not going with the card case, then?

0:37:100:37:13

-No.

-Even though you're not going with the bonus buy,

0:37:130:37:16

we're going to sell it anyway. Just to see.

0:37:160:37:19

-Yes?

-Just to put us in our place!

0:37:190:37:22

Not necessarily. Here it comes.

0:37:220:37:24

£60 I'm bid already.

0:37:240:37:26

At 60. At 60. 70.

0:37:260:37:28

Five here. At 75. 80. 90 with me.

0:37:280:37:31

At £90. At 90.

0:37:310:37:34

At 90, to a commission.

0:37:340:37:36

100 on the phone. Commission's out.

0:37:360:37:38

At 100. Anybody else?

0:37:380:37:39

-110 on the internet.

-110.

-That's good.

-110.

0:37:390:37:43

120. 120 now. At 120 against the internet.

0:37:430:37:46

-130.

-You're going to get there.

0:37:460:37:48

130. 140.

0:37:480:37:50

Internet, you're out.

0:37:500:37:52

At £140. 150.

0:37:520:37:54

Oh, look at that! Look!

0:37:540:37:57

-She's our girl.

-160.

0:37:570:37:59

At 160, now. 160.

0:37:590:38:01

On the telephone. And I will sell.

0:38:010:38:03

At £160.

0:38:030:38:05

-Yes!

-Oh, well done!

0:38:060:38:08

-That is good.

-That is plus £20.

0:38:080:38:11

That would have earned you £20 if you'd had some faith.

0:38:110:38:14

But there it is.

0:38:140:38:16

Doesn't matter. You still have a profit of £5 in your pocket.

0:38:160:38:20

That could be a winning score. Just don't say a dickie bird to those blues!

0:38:200:38:24

Lewis, how you feeling, old fruit?

0:38:300:38:31

-Um...

-Nervy?

-A little bit nervous.

0:38:310:38:34

-I think...

-Have you been chatting to those reds?

0:38:340:38:37

-I think the head's going to be good.

-I think the reds are a bit nervous.

0:38:370:38:40

-They're shaking.

-They didn't tell you what the score is?

-No.

0:38:400:38:44

We don't want you to know what the score is.

0:38:440:38:46

First up is the terrestrial globe. Here it comes.

0:38:460:38:49

Lot 77.

0:38:490:38:51

Who will go £30 for it?

Was it £25?

0:40:300:40:32

That's minus £15.

0:40:320:40:34

You have £25.50 in your tally. Yes?

0:40:340:40:40

-Profit.

-Which is fair enough.

0:40:400:40:42

-Total of £25.50. I congratulate you.

-Thank you.

0:40:420:40:47

What are we going to do about the table lamp?

0:40:470:40:49

-What do you think?

-Uh...

-You can't ask Paul.

0:40:490:40:52

I think 30's OK.

0:40:520:40:53

-He who dares, Rodney. He who dares.

-I think we should go for it.

0:40:530:40:57

We trust Paul.

0:40:570:40:58

-Yeah?

-Paul knows what he's doing.

0:40:580:41:00

Like you say, he who dares wins!

0:41:000:41:03

You're committed now. Here it comes.

0:41:030:41:05

Lot 83.

0:41:050:41:07

Showing for you there. At £25 to start me. £25.

0:41:070:41:11

25. 25 at the very back.

0:41:110:41:13

At 25. It's switched on at £25.

0:41:130:41:15

30, now. At 35.

0:41:150:41:17

35. 40. Five. 50. Five.

0:41:170:41:21

-No.

-60. Five.

0:41:210:41:23

65 it is. Very back of the room.

0:41:230:41:26

At £65. Anybody else? At 65.

0:41:260:41:28

-All done, then?

-Paul Laidlaw.

-At £65.

0:41:280:41:30

£65! You have just made £35 profit.

0:41:300:41:35

Well done, Paul Laidlaw.

0:41:350:41:37

Overall, then, that is 30, 40, 55.

0:41:370:41:40

That is £60.50!

0:41:400:41:43

Just your stupid head!

0:41:430:41:45

There was nothing wrong with the head!

0:41:450:41:47

I wouldn't buy a head if it looked like you, would I?

0:41:470:41:49

Listen. £60.50 could be a winning score.

0:41:490:41:52

Don't talk to the reds. All will be revealed in a moment. Brilliant.

0:41:520:41:57

Brilliant. Isn't it lovely to have two teams of winners on Bargain Hunt.

0:42:020:42:07

Because both teams today go home with some money.

0:42:070:42:11

Which is really nice. It's just a question of scale.

0:42:110:42:14

The runners-up today I'm afraid to report are the reds.

0:42:140:42:18

You nevertheless take home a five pound note.

0:42:200:42:23

We're winners because we got five pounds!

0:42:230:42:26

You certainly did. To make any money on Bargain Hunt is a considerable achievement

0:42:260:42:30

and I congratulate all three of you.

0:42:300:42:32

Thank you.

0:42:320:42:33

-Have you had a good time?

-We had a fantastic time.

-Very lovely to see you.

0:42:330:42:37

But the victors today by a large margin,

0:42:370:42:39

because you're taking home £60.50,

0:42:390:42:43

this doesn't happen often,

0:42:430:42:45

and here comes your 50p.

0:42:450:42:47

Can't be denied the small change. That's right!

0:42:470:42:49

Hand that over to poor Chris.

0:42:490:42:52

It was jolly nearly getting towards golden gavel level, wasn't it?

0:42:520:42:57

I think I should get one, cos it's only him that let us down.

0:42:570:42:59

Don't be like that. This is a team effort. Did you have a good time?

0:42:590:43:03

-It's been wonderful.

-Yeah.

-We've had a marvellous time.

0:43:030:43:06

Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

0:43:060:43:08

Yes!

0:43:080:43:09

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

0:43:100:43:14

Well, what's stopping you?

0:43:140:43:16

If you think you can spot a bargain,

0:43:160:43:18

go to our BBC website and apply.

0:43:180:43:20

It'll be splendid to see you!
