0:00:04 > 0:00:08Leominster has historic buildings aplenty.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11It's also got a jolly good selection of antique shops,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14which means just one thing -
0:00:14 > 0:00:16let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:41This Herefordshire market town
0:00:41 > 0:00:44was once famous for its wool and cotton mills.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49But it's not spinning that we're interested in today - oh, no - it's winning!
0:00:49 > 0:00:51'But which will it be, the Reds or the Blues?
0:00:51 > 0:00:57'Coming up, can Philip Serrell be trusted to uphold the honour of these Girl Scouts?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00'While the Blues get a taste of some bazaar-like bargaining.'
0:01:00 > 0:01:03It insults my mother and my grandmother!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It insults the donkey of my grandmother!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I spit on your offer! You can have it for 48.- No!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, what about the rules?
0:01:10 > 0:01:14There are two chaps who jolly well ought to know them by now -
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Philip Serrell, ringleader of the Reds,
0:01:17 > 0:01:20and Thomas Plant, boss of the Blues.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Each team has one hour and £300
0:01:23 > 0:01:26to find three items to take to the auction.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30And the winner is the team that makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33See? Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35So let's meet our teams.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Here we are in the magnificent Lion Ballroom.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Not to have a turn, though, but to introduce today's teams -
0:01:43 > 0:01:45my favourite - all girls -
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Angie and Helen for the Reds and Sue and Marion for the Blues.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Welcome, everybody.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Angie, how was it that you met Helen?
0:01:56 > 0:01:5817 years ago, I used to be a Cub leader,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00in fact, I used to be Akela,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and I walked in and there was Helen stood there
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and we just hit it off straight away.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08When you're not with the Scouts, what do you get up to?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I work in the hospital, in the cancer unit,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and we process treatments, etc,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17from the start, when they're diagnosed with cancer,
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- through when, hopefully, they're given the all clear. - That's a miracle moment, isn't it?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Helen, what's your line of work? - I work as a learning support worker in a secondary school.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Some of the things that I teach are construction,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31so bricklaying, plastering.
0:02:31 > 0:02:36- You must be the most petite bricklayer I ever came across!- I am!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- As well as the Scouts, what are your other hobbies?- Oh, gosh, loads!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I race radio-control cars, which sounds really strange,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47but they're about this big and go at about 50 miles an hour
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- with a little battery in. - Radio-controlled jobs?- Yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Yes.- So you're up on a stage, racing them.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- You're a bit of a speed queen, really.- Just a bit!
0:02:57 > 0:03:01What are your tactics, Ange? What are you going to get up to?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04We're going to listen to advice from the professional...
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- That could be your first mistake. - Definitely!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- ..but I like boxes.- Boxes?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- I love boxes.- You'll have your eye open for a box.- Yes.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- What about you, Hells Bells? - Anything a little bit unusual.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- I'm going to try and look for something...- Quirky.- Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Something petite, like you.- Yes!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Anyway, good fun! Good luck.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Marion, you're an artist.- I am. - Tell us about that.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I went to art school in the '70s and then I taught art and design.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33For 20 years, I had my own ceramics,
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- where I designed my own pottery and sold it, basically.- Brilliant.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40What sort of thing do you collect?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I collect silk handkerchiefs.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I just love the fact that they're anonymous artists
0:03:45 > 0:03:49and they've spent such a lot of time and effort into making something
0:03:49 > 0:03:52which was a throw-away item in those days.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56- So, those are prints on silk, effectively?- They're prints on silk.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01The ones after the First World War were made from leftover parachutes.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Sue, having had the lowdown
0:04:04 > 0:04:07on the collectability of silk handkerchiefs,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09what do you do for a living?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I do something very different. I'm a nurse specialist in eating disorders,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16specifically anorexia nervosa.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It's a terrible thing, anorexia, isn't it?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Absolutely appalling illness. - It's something that,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26if you're not blighted with it, you know somebody who knows somebody who has been.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It's a very long process for somebody to get better,
0:04:29 > 0:04:34but we help them discover who they are without their anorexia.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- And that takes time and patience. - It does.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40So, you lovely girls, what are your tactics today?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44I'm just going to look for something that I think will make a profit.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48That's fair enough. I mean, it's never happened before,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51so you might as well make a start somewhere!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Anyway, talking of money, here's £300 apiece.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56There's your £300. You know the rules.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Your experts await. Off you go! Very, very, very good luck.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Off you go.- Where do we go?- In here. - In here. Right! Right!- Right!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I will! That was very Scout-y, wasn't it?
0:05:08 > 0:05:13I'm going to look for something that's got a little bit of Picasso about it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- Oh, really? - And a little bit of Rembrandt!
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- How about you, Sue?- I think I'm going to stick to something slightly quirky.- Yes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Arty but quirky. - Arty but quirky. Well, let's go!
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Philip, what do you think of these? - Those?- What do you think?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Truthfully? Dreadful.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32'Don't hold back, Phil.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Rembrandt and Picasso, something quirky...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I think we're done, aren't we? That's all we need to buy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I quite like that over there.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- This here?- Yes.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Can I get it out without knocking anything over?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That would be fabulous shined up, wouldn't it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- All polished up. The lamp.- Yes.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Look at that. That's rather good, isn't it?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Why is it... Is it an oil lamp that's been converted?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02It would've been an oil lamp. It's definitely silver plated.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06There's quite a lot which needs doing to it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- You're missing some screws here. - For £85?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11For £85. That's the problem.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Hello, sir. What's the best that can be done on this?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20The very best price we can do on this is £65.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- £65. And that's the death, is it? - It is indeed.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Personally, I don't think it's a profitable piece at 65.- I agree.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'All of a sudden, the magic seems to have gone out of this lamp.'
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Girls... Where are we? Do you like that?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38That's really nice.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42This is a Royal Worcester rustic jug.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's decorated with some sort of finch.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46If we look at that letter there,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50it means this was made between 1865 and 1875.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- This is in the style of a man called John Hopewell.- Right.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- That's lovely. Do you like that?- Mm. - Do you like it?- Go for that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- How much is it?- 14 quid.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Oh, gosh!- How much could we get for that at auction?
0:07:01 > 0:07:05If that came into my saleroom, I'd estimate it at 20 to 40, 30 to 50 quid.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10We'll ask the shopkeeper if it's restored and what the best he can do on it is.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Where is he?- Definitely. - Oh, look at this!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15He's like a jailer, isn't he?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17What's your very best on that?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- You've got it priced at 14.- Erm...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- These girls need all the help they can get.- We do!
0:07:23 > 0:07:24What about ten?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Go on!- I know that's more than you'd normally do.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Erm... Go on, then. OK.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You're a star. Thank you.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Thank you!- If you can do ten,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- I'll take them away and never bring them back! - We won't see you again, then!
0:07:38 > 0:07:43'Promises, promises, eh? But at least it's one in the bag for the Reds,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45'while he Blues are still arting around.'
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I'm going to give you a test.- Right.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- I'm going to give you two minutes in here...- Right.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55..and I'm going to time it,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57and I'm going to let you have a look
0:07:57 > 0:08:01and then I'll show you what I think you should be looking at, you show me what you're looking at.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- It's a bit like "You show me yours and I'll show you mine".- OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08'Excuse me! This is still Bargain Hunt, isn't it,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10'or have I drifted into another programme?!'
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Oh, Phil!
0:08:12 > 0:08:16There's a card table and a pack of cards. These are really nice cards.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19- I'll just show you a little trick. - OK.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22These are really nice.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- This little set here, this'll keep them safe, OK?- Yes. - Just put them into there, like that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- She's good, isn't she?- Wow!- There! - Can I just check your...?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34'Now it seems we've transformed into a magic show.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37'Don't worry, Philip, I can't keep up, either.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40'Best move on, mate,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43'because some things are already set in stone.'
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Is it really heavy?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Oh, my God! SHE LAUGHS
0:08:47 > 0:08:50You didn't tell me it was stone.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I think that's rather fabulous. - What is this?!- A stone-carved panel.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56That is £68.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- What do you think about that? - We'd probably have to get it down... - We would.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04..but I think somebody would pay money for that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- It looks like it's been hand-carved. - Yes.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- Do you think it's from somewhere like Spain or the Middle East? - It looks like it.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13People like that sort of thing.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17You could put it in a barn conversion or inside a bathroom.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- You're looking a bit po-faced. - Mm. Not sure about it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It has got a Middle East sort of shape to it there.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I do quite like it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I quite like pretty things and it is sort of lacy.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- It's a big risk.- It is. - It's a huge risk.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- It's a heavy risk! - Judging by what you look like!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I'd buy it if I saw it in an auction at the right price.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41You can do something with it. It's got another life, hasn't it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44'It's definitely got the arty look they're after.'
0:09:44 > 0:09:47So, Stan, it says £68. It is heavy.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I'll do my best for you. 68...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54We can make that... 55.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Really?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Not a little, a lot!- 50 pounds.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- 40.- Oh, 40 I couldn't do.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- The thing is, you're being very British about this.- Yes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06I have not got full British blood in me
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and I'm not going to stop at 48, so let's go!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- We can bargain in a non-British way. - That's what I want you to do.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16WELSH ACCENT: Your offer insults me. It insults my mother and my grandmother!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It insults the donkey of my grandmother!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- I spit on your offer! You can have it for 48.- No!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I want to start...
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I want to start at... £40.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29I'll meet you halfway at 47.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Oh, five... Make it 45!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- 45 it is.- I think we go for it. - I think we go for it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37'Well, it would be rude not to now.'
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Deal. You're a good man. Thank you, Stan.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42'Stan's the man!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46'And what a great lesson in how to bargain Middle Eastern-style.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48'That's one-up to the dealer.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51'It also means both our teams now have one in the bag.'
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- If we could find you a magic trick, that would be brilliant.- Amazing.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Or an old Scout's woggle. - That would be brilliant!- Fantastic!
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- I've never seen a girl turned on by a woggle before.- 'The mind boggles.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06'But will their Scouting spirit help persuade centre manager Ben
0:11:06 > 0:11:09'to think outside the box on his prices?'
0:11:09 > 0:11:12That's lovely.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- It's got the key.- Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's got a bit of livestock, as well, with it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Oh, it has.- Yes. I think that's a sweet little thing, actually.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25It's dated to abut 1810. £125.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I think at auction, that's 50 to 80 quid.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30OK?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- What I would do is put this on your wish list.- OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Find out what the best that Ben can do is.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Remember, they've got to earn a living so he'll tell you what his best is.- OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Find out his best price
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and ask him if he can put it by for 45 minutes while we have a look.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- OK.- And then you've got something on the shelf.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51- Shall I do it?- You do- that.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I'm going to have skulk round and see if I can see anything else.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Hi, Ben!- Hello.- What's your very, very best you can do on that?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Be really nice to us!- Yes, please.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I might be nice. - Oh, please!- Oh, please do!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- We've got 125.- Yes.- Erm...
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It should really be 110 but...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- 100?- I'll come down to 100 on it. - 100. Excellent.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- What do you reckon? - Can you go a bit lower? 95?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22I'd have to make a phone call to these dealers. They're nice people.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Some people are really strict on their prices, but I can give them a call for you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Do you want me to?- Please, because I love it.- That would be amazing.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Whilst you're running around,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- I'll make a call.- Brilliant. - Cheers. Thank you, Ben.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40'Remember, girls, Phil's estimate was only 50 to 80 pounds. Oh, dear.'
0:12:40 > 0:12:43This looks really exciting!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'We're at the halfway mark now. Time to make a call.'
0:12:46 > 0:12:47"Hurry up!"
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Do you know how to date these telephones?- No.- Little tip...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55You can always date these telephones by this second number here.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58That's number 56 so that's 1956.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That's lovely! I think That's gorgeous.- OK.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Let's call for Stan, see what he can do.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Stan? Hello? Hello?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Come in, Stan.- Hello.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- You like the telephone, do you? - What can you do?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- We've got 65 on it.- Yes.- Well...
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Let's say, er, £50 I can do.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Is that your very, very best offer for me?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What did you have in mind?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- 30. - HE INHALES SHARPLY
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Ooh, that wincing noise! Ooh!
0:13:29 > 0:13:34- I thought Marion wasn't going to do any of that.- She can't help herself! - You can't, can you?
0:13:34 > 0:13:39I thought I could try standing over him, with a bit of a cuddling.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- It's working!- Oh, do some more!
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Oh, yes! Both! Hug him either side! - Either side!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- Is that working?- Yes, it's working. - 30 pounds?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Oh, it hasn't got to 30 yet, though!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55What do you think?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- You like this. - I do quite like this, yes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- Again, it's quirky.- It is. - It's fun.- I did want a quirky item.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Can we start with a three...- Mm?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10..followed by a zero? STAN SIGHS
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Oh, go on. - One more cuddle and you've got it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- 30 pounds!- 30 pounds! BLUES CHEER
0:14:18 > 0:14:21'So, Stan, they definitely rang your bell.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25'Well done, Blues. That's your second item found.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28'Reds, you'd better get a move on. But no need to panic.'
0:14:28 > 0:14:30This is not time to panic.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- It is, however, time for mild concern.- Right.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36We've got 40 minutes and one thing bought.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39We've spent the princely sum of £10 out of 300, in 40 minutes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- It really is focus time.- It is.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- We really need to get to grips.- OK. - All right. Follow me.- Let's go.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You have it buy things of the moment.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54This is an Arts & Crafts-type panel, on copper,
0:14:54 > 0:14:571900, 1910, something like that.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00It's quite a good, trendy thing for the minute.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06That's priced at £148. If you can get that for around 110, I think it might give you a chance.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08How much do you think we'd get for that at auction?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12We've got to play percentages here. On a bad day, that's going to make 80 quid.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16On a good day, it could make 150, 180.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Shall we see what we can get that for?- Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- See what we can...- I see an absolute wave of zero enthusiasm.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- You don't like it?- Go on.- No...!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- But if it sells...- I don't even know what you'd use it for!
0:15:29 > 0:15:33If you don't like, don't buy, but you have got to buy something.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Shall we go with that?
0:15:34 > 0:15:36You reckon we could do well with that?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40I think you've got more chance of a profit with that
0:15:40 > 0:15:42than with that little box that you looked at.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- But here's a bit of fun for you. - What?
0:15:44 > 0:15:49Why don't you buy the box AND that and see who's right and who's wrong?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- We could do. That would be... Yes! - Yes.- Right.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57- They're both around the same price. What was the box? 95?- 95.- 95.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02It would be really good if you could get that for 95, but I don't know that you will.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06But see which one makes a profit, because I think that's got more legs than the box.
0:16:06 > 0:16:12'As if there wasn't enough of a competition Phil, you sly old fox!'
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Yes, ladies?- We need your help.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16What's the best price you could do that for?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- What about 100?- Er, no!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Erm...- 110?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Somewhere in the middle?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- 110? - She might do nasty things to me,
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but I will say 110.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- Excellent. Shall we go for that? - We're going for it.- Okey-doke.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Brilliant. Thank you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38'Now, let's hope the Blues aren't about to fall into a trap.'
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- This is it, is it?- This is it. - This is the catcher.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- This is what you really like? - I think it's very quirky.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I keep saying that word because I like it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49A salmon trap, ideal for the garden.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I don't think it would be used for salmon these days.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I think it would be used for your sweet peas, or your runner beans.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58What do you think, Marion?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Well, if you wanted to be really different,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04you could hang it from the ceiling with a light bulb in.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08You come up with the best ideas, don't you? You're full of these!
0:17:08 > 0:17:10That's what's so interesting about shopping with you,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13shopping with a real trained artist, it's wonderful.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17You could turn it upside-down, or you could just have it...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- It could be an interesting standard lamp.- Yes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- So, can we see what we can do? - BOTH: Yes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I'm Ben.- Ben. Nice to meet you. - Hello, Ben.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- What's the best price on this? - What have they got on this one?
0:17:30 > 0:17:3295...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- 80.- 80 pounds?- Ooh!
0:17:34 > 0:17:37And that's the death?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40What is...? THEY LAUGH
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Come on!- I love the way you look at us like that!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Throw me a bone!
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I can do 75 and that will be it.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52It's the kind of thing, where we're selling in the Cotswolds,
0:17:52 > 0:17:57it could make anything from 30 to 200 pounds.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01That's the risk, and that's all auctions are.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- So come on, make your mind up. - Yes, definitely!- Yes? - Because we saw it earlier.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Yes, yes.- You've come back to it. Ben, that's a deal.- Great.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- That's it. Girls... - Thank you.- Cheers.- ..third item.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15We've got all of them!
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'Well, it's definitely quirky, I'll give you that!
0:18:19 > 0:18:24'While the Blues have time for a tea break, the Reds have to put a lid on that box.'
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Ben, what's the best deal you can do for us?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I spoke to them and I worked hard for you,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32and they said 95 is the absolute death.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- What do you reckon? Shall we do it? - We'll do it.- Definitely.- Okey-dokey.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42'Sorted. Now, girls, can you use your magic skills to do me one small favour?'
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Have you got any more magic tricks tucked up your sleeve?- BOTH: Oh, yes!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48'Ooh, thank you!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51'Philip got the Reds into the flow with this Royal Worcester jug,
0:18:51 > 0:18:54'paying a mere £10.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58'Angie and Helen then took their expert's advice
0:18:58 > 0:19:02'and secured this Arts & Crafts early 20th-century copper panel.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05'£110 paid.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08'Finally, they secured their final lot
0:19:08 > 0:19:11'with this leather document box and key,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14'paying a princely £95 for it.'
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- Enjoyed it?- Yes, definitely.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18You can't regret a thing, you know that, don't you?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- I don't regret nothing.- Do you not? - Nor me.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24You don't regret nothing. That's what I love about the English language!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Seriously, which is your favourite piece, Ange?
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Definitely my box.- All right, fine.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- What about you, Hells Bells? - The little tiny Worcester vase with the finch on.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- That's your favourite?- Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- How much did you spend all round? - BOTH: 215.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41- 215?- 215.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Who's got the £85 of leftover lolly? Thank you. That comes straight here.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48What are you going to do with that, Philip Serrell?
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I'm going to try and buy something that she might like.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Or not...- That would be difficult, wouldn't it?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Good luck, Phil! Good luck, girls.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Marion dug out this carved stone Middle Eastern window
0:20:03 > 0:20:08and after a harsh lesson in haggling, got it for £45.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13They called on Thomas's knowledge with this 1950s Bakelite telephone.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17They got the dealer's number and only paid £30.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22And finally, the girls reeled in this iron tapered salmon catcher,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26but were they caught out at £75?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32- It's marvellous when the teams are so pleased. Are you pleased?- Very. - Are you?- Absolutely delighted.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Which is your favourite piece?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36The favourite piece is the piece I chose,
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- which is...- Funny that! - ..which is the stone window!
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- The stone window is your favourite. - It is.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- What's your favourite? - My favourite is the salmon catcher.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Is it?- Yes.- And will it bring the biggest profit?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50I'm hoping it will do!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- How much did you spend? - We spent £150.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Please may I have the £150 of leftover lolly?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Here we go.- That's lovely.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- £150 goes straight to T-Plant. - Thank you very much.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07What is going to planted and grown today, Tom, out of your expertise?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Everything else had another life!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- It was going to be in some installation somewhere!- Oh, yes!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'm going to buy something which will go in another!
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Really?- Yes. - You're such a tease sometimes!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Good luck, team. Good luck, Tom.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere absolutely splendido!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29This is Nuffield Place, once home to William Morris.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Not the William Morris associated with the Arts & Crafts movement,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36but Morris the Motor Man, the entrepreneur and industrialist,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40who later became Lord Nuffield, the great philanthropist.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46This William Morris was the man who brought motoring to the masses,
0:21:46 > 0:21:51changing society and making himself one of the wealthiest men in the world.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Nuffield Place was the Morris's Oxfordshire home
0:21:55 > 0:21:58for over 30 years.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01It's not a vast country pile,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04the sort of place that you might've expected
0:22:04 > 0:22:09one of the world's wealthiest industrialists to have occupied,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12it's a relatively modest Edwardian home,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16dating back to about 1914,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21but which the Morrises occupied for over 30 years.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26They furnished the house in a standard 1930s style
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and led a quite retired life here,
0:22:30 > 0:22:35avoiding large-scale entertaining wherever they could.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38But who was William Morris, "Lord Nuffield",
0:22:38 > 0:22:43and what does his house tell us about this intriguing man?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Since his death in 1963,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49the house has remained as Lord Nuffield left it.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Rather than a treasure trove of highly valuable works of art, it preserves riches of another kind.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55The items on display,
0:22:55 > 0:23:00from cracked pots to well-thumbed books, reveal this man's true character.
0:23:00 > 0:23:06There's one room that in particular illustrates Lord Nuffield's life -
0:23:06 > 0:23:08his bedroom.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10It's of quite modest proportions,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12but if you look around
0:23:12 > 0:23:17the place is littered with clocks and timepieces -
0:23:17 > 0:23:21a Regency timepiece, a 17th-century lantern clock,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23an Art Deco mantel clock,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27a bedside timepiece, another Regency clock,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30and behind me, the most wonderful example
0:23:30 > 0:23:34of an 18th-century wall clock by Eardley Norton.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39Lord Nuffield was clearly keen on horology.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Amongst his other toys,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44we can tell that he was keen on smoking.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47A pretty little pipe rack dating from the '30s,
0:23:47 > 0:23:52but crammed with his favourite pipes.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Concern about his health is well documented.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58He was something of a hypochondriac.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Not enough to stop him smoking,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04but enough to lead him
0:24:04 > 0:24:07to a nightly dose of milk of magnesia,
0:24:07 > 0:24:11as illustrated by this flask.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13In fact, he was something of an insomniac.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Just look at this.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Isn't that extraordinary?
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Can you believe that the head of a multi-national,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25multi-million-pound empire,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28would have in his bedroom a cupboard,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30stuffed up like a little workshop.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well, he was passionate about engineering,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and if he couldn't sleep he'd do a bit of polishing,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39or he'd use his anvil for bending a bit of metal.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42His inventive mind would have,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45in the middle of his sleepless night,
0:24:45 > 0:24:47an opportunity to vent itself.
0:24:47 > 0:24:52An indication of just how careful Lord Nuffield was is here...
0:24:52 > 0:24:56It's a packet of stick-on soles.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58What's a multi-millionaire doing
0:24:58 > 0:25:02worrying about sticking rubber bits on the bottom of his leather shoes
0:25:02 > 0:25:05to make them last a bit longer?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It's because he was careful.
0:25:08 > 0:25:14Perhaps the most moving and telling thing in this cupboard of treasures
0:25:14 > 0:25:15is this fellow.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19We know that Lord Nuffield as a youngster
0:25:19 > 0:25:21really, really wanted to be a doctor,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24but because his father couldn't afford the fees,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26he had to leave school at 15
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and he started his engineering career,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32firstly in bicycle repairs, then motor bicycles,
0:25:32 > 0:25:37and, ultimately, producing vast quantities of motor cars.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39So, what's inside the vial?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's Lord Nuffield's
0:25:41 > 0:25:44pickled appendix!
0:25:44 > 0:25:47The old boy preserved it all his lifetime
0:25:47 > 0:25:50and kept it with him in his bedroom. Charming.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53The big question today is, of course, for our teams,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56just how pickled are they about become?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08We've trotted along to Cirencester, and what could be nicer than that,
0:26:08 > 0:26:13to the Cotswolds Auction Co saleroom to be with Liz Poole.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Liz.- Hi.- Good morning.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Now, for our Reds, what a mixture!
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- We have a piece of Worcester, and what a lovely little jug it is. - It is.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Barrel-shaped, little finch,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26date mark 1878.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- What's it going to make?- 20 to 40. - Is that all?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- It might do a little more. - Might it? He only paid £10 for it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38- That's OK, then.- For a piece of marked Worcester, hand-painted, it's not a lot of money, is it?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- No.- So it was a bargain. - Good time to buy it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Super. Next for them is the Arts & Crafts copper panel,
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- which I think has got something about it, don't you?- Definitely.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- I quite like these unusual animals in the middle.- The beasties!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- Beasties with tails. - Like armorial, mythical,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- oddball beasties!- Definitely.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- As an unnamed piece, what's your best estimate?- 30 to 50?
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- Think brave, girl.- Could do better. - That's what my school report said! - A come-and-buy-me estimate.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11No, seriously, they paid £110.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Right, OK. I hope I'm wrong and they're right.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17That's sweet of you but I fancy you might be on the right side of wrong.
0:27:17 > 0:27:24Their last item is this cute little domed-top, leather-covered wee box.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Sometimes called document boxes but you could put anything in it, couldn't you?
0:27:28 > 0:27:29You could.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33And really gorgeous wrought-iron clasp
0:27:33 > 0:27:35the original handle and the tooling and everything,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- I can't tell you how much I like this little box. Do you?- I do.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- Nice inside.- Inside, yes,
0:27:41 > 0:27:46they've got that stuck-on paper and covered it in dots.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Looks like it's felt-tip pen,
0:27:49 > 0:27:54but this is the equivalent of felt tip in what, 1700s, 1720?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Yes, I would say.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- How much do you reckon for that? - 80 to 120?- Perfect.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02They paid £95. Right estimate, right price,
0:28:02 > 0:28:04a happy note for the Reds to finish on.
0:28:04 > 0:28:10But if it doesn't go to plan, they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Now, Angie, Helen, isn't this exciting?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Oh, yes!- It is, yes.- I can't wait!
0:28:15 > 0:28:17You gave Philip Serrell £85 to invest.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Phil, show us your wares.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23You should lift that up like that and we should have a flock of pigeons appearing.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Can you do that?- I'll try. - One, two, three, go!
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- No pigeons.- No pigeons.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- There could be a pigeon coop. - Right, OK.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I thought, we're in the Cotswolds, it's just a little rustic hardwood shelf,
0:28:34 > 0:28:35probably made in India.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40It'd be ideal in a boot room, put shoes in, hang in the kitchen. I just thought it was a fun thing.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42It cost me £45.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Will it make a profit?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Truthfully, I don't know. I would hope it might make 40 to 60.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- It's quite nice. What do you think? - Quite nice?- I like it.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- The jury's out here, isn't it?- It is! - We like wooden things, don't we?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I love wooden things.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59We seem to have made an impression with that, Phil.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Ask him how much profit it's going to make.- How much profit?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Whose side are you on?- Eh?!
0:29:06 > 0:29:07- Come on, little one.- How much?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I reckon it'll make between 40 and 60
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- and I paid £45 for it.- OK.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Have you got that, girls? Got the message?- Yes.- Lovely.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Now, why don't we find out, for the viewers at home,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's little coop?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Look up, Liz, these are quite heavy
0:29:25 > 0:29:28and pretty bizarre, really.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I mean, is this made of orange boxes or what?
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Mm... Nice piece of rustic wood!
0:29:34 > 0:29:37And some bloke in a shed's just nailed it together,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39that's me, I don't know about you.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Beautiful little book shelf.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45She's so sweet, isn't she? She's so nice about everybody's goods!
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- How do you rate it, estimate-wise? - 10 to 20.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51I think that's exactly the right estimate.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53£45 was paid.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56He may be struggling to get a five-pound note for that.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- We really have got some interesting things here, haven't we?- We have.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08- What do you think about this sandstone window panel? - I like it. Very pretty.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12Nice shape, nicely carved, nice bit of old paint on there.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- Don't you feel yourself in old Seville?- Ooh, yes! - The Alhambra Palace...
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Fountains, gardens... - It's an extraordinarily nice object.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23OK, fine. Put on your boldest cap
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- and give us an estimate.- 40 to 70.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Don't you think it might do the ton? - It might.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- It's a come-and-buy-me.- Oh, right.
0:30:30 > 0:30:3440 to 70 is the estimate. £45 was paid.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38I fancy this thing should make 100 or 200.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Moving on to the Bakelite telephone...
0:30:40 > 0:30:46We had just aspired in 1956 to have a telephone.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49The GPO came and connected us and that's what we got.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51What's a black one worth?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- 40 to 70.- Brilliant! - Nice bit of retro.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Our girls only paid £30,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58so that's what you call a trunk call!
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Next is the iron tapered salmon catcher.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07There aren't many iron salmon catchers. They're mainly made of wood.
0:31:07 > 0:31:13I've called it a salmon catcher-type garden sculpture.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Nice for roses! - You're covering every eventuality! That's very clever.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- What's it worth? - I've put 20 to 30 on it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23£75 paid. That could give them their comeuppance.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29That could wipe out all the profit that they're going to make on their romantic sandstone window.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33In which case, they'll need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Now, Sue and Marion, you spent £150, you gave Thomas Plant £150.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Thomas, what did you spend it on?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Well...- BOTH: Ooh!
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Lovely.- I bought a very pretty, lovely-coloured boat,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47like a little river craft boat.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It was relatively cheap at £15.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53From a collector's point of view, that's marvellous
0:31:53 > 0:31:56because the paintwork is fantastic.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58It is nice, actually.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I think I remember something like this when I was a child.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- I think it's nice. - From a toy collector's point of view,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07it's very, very collectable.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09There's probably nothing like it in the sale
0:32:09 > 0:32:12and it's in tremendously good condition.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- I think it's lovely. - That's where you turn it.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- It's clockwork, so the key's in there.- Ah!
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- You had 150, you spent £15...- £15.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- What's the next question? - What's it going to make?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's got to make 20, 30.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- It's got to have a small profit in it.- I think it's very nice.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Sadly, girls, you can't buy it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- But it is appropriately-coloured for the Blues.- BOTH: It is! - Thank you, Tom.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Why don't we, for the audience at home,
0:32:37 > 0:32:41find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's little boat?
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Well, do we see any choppy water ahead with this?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Possibly a little.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Nice nick, though, isn't it? - It is in good condition, yes.
0:32:50 > 0:32:531960s, 1970s little clockwork boat.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Sutcliffe, the maker.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- What's it worth as it is? - I've put 15 to 30.- Very good.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Thomas, who knows about these toys, paid £15, so he recognised it as being reasonable.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- These are dangerous times, aren't they?- Very!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Very...
0:33:09 > 0:33:12..at 20. Any more at 20?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Selling at 25.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Ange and Helen,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- this is exciting, isn't it? - It is, yes!- Yes.- Very!
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I mean, goodness only know what's going to happen today!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Now, Worcester...
0:33:25 > 0:33:28No programme would be complete without Philip Serrell,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- master Worcester auctioneer... - My hero.- Very true.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33..our hero in the Worcester department.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- What did we pay, 25 for it? - GIRLS: No! 10!- You paid a tenner.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- We paid £10. - It's 30 to 50 pounds worth.- OK.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Her estimate is £20 to £40.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- That's OK.- That's not bad! - That's good.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Here it comes. - The Royal Worcester china cream jug.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Very pretty with the little finch.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Marked for 1878. £20. Do I see 20?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Oh, come on.- 10, then. £10. Start me. Thank you, sir.
0:33:57 > 0:34:0010 bid seated. Who's going on? At 10. 12.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04- £10?- £10.- Breaking even. - At 12. 15. 18. At 18. 20.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- At £20.- You only paid £10. You've doubled your money.- 25.
0:34:08 > 0:34:1025. Is there any more? At 25...
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- £25?- That's good!- Last chance...
0:34:13 > 0:34:14All done.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- £25.- Yes!- I love it, don't you? That's plus £15.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20That's super duper.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Stand back!- Look out!
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Arts & Crafts-style copper panel. Lots of interest.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I musty start the bidding at £60. 60 on commission.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Is there any more? At £60.- Come on!
0:34:31 > 0:34:3465. 70. Commission 75. 80.

0:34:50 > 0:34:55- 140.- 140!- It's still going up. - Bidders on the net at 140.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59At 140. Are you all finished? 150. Do I see 160?
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- The old boy's done it again. - 170. At 170. 180.- 200!
0:35:03 > 0:35:04At 180. 190.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- That's all right.- 200 - come on!

0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Yes!- We've done it! - You've doubled your money.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- £220...- You were right. - That is plus £110,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26which means overall, you're plus 125.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Now, the document box... - The document box!
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Georgian leather-bound document box. Bit of interest here.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Start the bidding at 20. Five.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- 30. Five. At 35. Is there any more? - Oh, come on.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Last chance...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58£60. I'm sorry, girls, that's minus £35.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59I've got to bow down to you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04- That's all right. You bought nice things.- Don't worry, because you are still plus £90.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07You have £90 in your pocket.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11What are you going to do about these shelves? This is a big decision.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- What do you think? Go with it? - I'd like to because I trust him.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18You've got to think deep and hard about this decision.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21BOTH: OK!
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Hang on a minute! Is that in the rules now?
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- Anyway, there is a debate here as to whether you should go with it. - There is a slight debate!
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- I'm so tempted.- I am, but... - Do what you like.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34..we have got a good profit. Maybe we should leave it there.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- OK. I'll go with you.- OK. Cool.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40- We'll leave it there, I think. - Definitely?- Definitely.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- That's your final final... - Final final.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- You don't need to ring anybody? - It'll make 65 quid now, you wait!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- Here we go.- Four-tier bookshelf.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52Bit of interest here. I must start the bidding at 10, 12, 15, 18.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5520 bid. At 20. At 20, then, on commission.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Are we all finished at 20? Selling at £20.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Bad luck, Phil. £20. - That's sort of cheap, I think.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Minus £25. You didn't go with it, though.- We didn't, no.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08You were very sensible about that.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11You've preserved your £90, which is brilliant.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- That could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Blues.- OK.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- How are you feeling, you two, all right?- Yes.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Do you know how the Reds got on? - Absolutely no idea.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29- They wouldn't tell us.- OK, fine.
0:37:29 > 0:37:35I have to say that the pinnacle of good taste, your choice for that sandstone grill,
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- I think you're clever to have found it.- Really?
0:37:37 > 0:37:40You paid £45 for it. She's estimated 40 to 70.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44Personally, I think it's worth 150 of anybody's pounds.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47If there's anybody with taste and discrimination,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49they'll run with that.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- Here we go.- This is a very nice piece of carved sandstone.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55£20. £20. Come on.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It'd look very nice inset into a wall. £20.
0:37:58 > 0:38:0120 bid on the internet. The internet loves it.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03At 20. Who's going on?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06It's worth much more than that!
0:38:06 > 0:38:09No more? I shall sell it if you're all done.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13In the room at 22. At 25. 25 bid again.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16At 25. Last chance, and selling...
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- £25. I could weep.- Oh, no! - That is minus £20.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Such an injustice has just been done.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- It's not fair.- Now for the Bakelite 332 telephone...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29..with a lovely pull-out tray at the bottom. £30, start me off.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Phone home. £30. 20, then. Got to be worth that.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37- Nobody wants it.- Nobody wants it! - I can't believe it!
0:38:37 > 0:38:40It's worth 20 any day. Good vintage telephone! Come on, 20!
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- 10, then. £10. - £10!- Ooh, somebody's bid.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4410 on the right, at 10.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- At £10.- Thank goodness. That would be embarrassing. - That would be terrible.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Do I see 12 in the room? 12. 15, sir. 18. At 18. 20.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- £20 bid.- Bit more!- Last chance...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- £20.- 20! - That's minus £10. I can't bear it.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Now, this is the big white hope.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Salmon trap garden sculpture. Nice piece to grow your roses up.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11£20? Better than the plastic things you get today.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- 10, then. £10. - You can put that in the garden.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Hang on, girls.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18£10. Nobody wants it? Thank you, sir, at 10.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- I have a bid of 10. Is there 12? - My goodness!
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- At 10, then. Last chance... Selling at 10.- GIRLS: 10!
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Oh, girls! That is minus 65.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35- Which is 65, 75, 95... Minus 95. - I'm just...
0:39:35 > 0:39:38I can only apologise for advising you poorly.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41- You've done no bad advising at all! - No.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46- There's nothing to apologise for. I'm sorry about that. - We're proud of all those objects.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49That's not just bad, that's really bad.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Yes, but I'm proud of our choices.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53It's the luck of the day.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58Maybe go with the tin-plate toy or not? Yes?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- BOTH: I think so.- It's your choice. - We will.- You're going to.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05- You like it, don't you?- We like it! - It's a bit of fun.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Here we go.- 312 is the very nice...
0:40:07 > 0:40:11..1960s Sutcliffe tin-plate Sprite day cruiser.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14£10. £10 for the Sprite cruiser. £10.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Very nice. Five. £5, then. Come on.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19THOMAS: I just...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- £10.- It's not been my day.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24£5. She's a little clockwork one. £5.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Thank you, sir. At five. Five is bid, standing.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- At five with the gentleman. - It's incredible.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33It is incredible. It's incredibly bad.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- I have to sell it at five. - £5 only, is minus £10,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40which takes you, girls, to the very nice round sum
0:40:40 > 0:40:43of minus £105.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Oh, well done! That's an achievement!
0:40:46 > 0:40:52- I have to say, it should not have finished up like this.- No. - It's a sad state of affairs.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56But you've been very sporting, both of you. In fact, all three of you.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59All will be revealed in a moment. Don't talk to those lovely Reds.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- OK.- OK.- Absolutely.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11OK, teams, been chatting?
0:41:11 > 0:41:12- BOTH: No.- No? Not at all.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17You honestly haven't said a word to each other since the end of the auction.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Well, this is going to be quite a revelation, then, isn't it?
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Both teams are expecting to be ahead in this point-scoring operation,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27are we not?!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I have to tell you, there is a vast chasm between the teams!
0:41:31 > 0:41:36You cannot credit that in the same programme, out of the same shopping experience,
0:41:36 > 0:41:40the results could be so diametrically opposite.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I have to reveal that the Blues have made a whopping loss.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46THEY CHEER
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- We were robbed! - Minus £105 down the proverbial!
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Which, I have to say,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- is not a fair result.- BOTH: No. - Definitely not.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Because that stone grill was worth a good deal more than the price you got for it,
0:41:58 > 0:42:03of that, I am absolutely certain, and that might've saved you, but it didn't today.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- I hope you've had a good time. - Very much.- Yes.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Look at them! Aren't they sweet?
0:42:08 > 0:42:11All three of them, grinning like the proverbial!
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- Such good sports through adversity. Well done for that.- Thank you.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18But the victors today are going home with money,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21they're going home with £90 in cash!
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- Well done!- Look at Helen's face! This is a Scouting triumph, isn't it?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29- Definitely. - Essentially, thanks to P Serrell
0:42:29 > 0:42:33and his brilliant purchase of the Arts & Crafts copper,
0:42:33 > 0:42:37which the auctioneer was sniffy about, there was no great enthusiasm for,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40but you made a profit of £110.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44You doubled your money. It made 220 and he made £110.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46You made another £15 on the old Worcester.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Round and about, that finished up as plus £90.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- That's good, isn't it?- Amazing.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55- Are you pleased, Ange?- I am. It's down to my hero, though.- Yes!
0:42:55 > 0:42:57It's down to all our heroes!
0:42:57 > 0:43:01- You enjoyed yourselves?- Fantastic! - We've loved having you.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06- In fact, join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
0:43:07 > 0:43:11You're sitting there thinking, "I could've done better than that."
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:13 > 0:43:18If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20It'll be splendid to see you!
