0:00:11 > 0:00:13Do you know, I've been racking my brains

0:00:13 > 0:00:17for the collective word for a group of antiques.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Well, we take our antiques off and sell them at auction,

0:00:20 > 0:00:24so perhaps that ought to be a lot of antiques.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Do you think?

0:00:26 > 0:00:32Well, anyway, people of Edinburgh, what a lot of antiques you've got here.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Ha! Let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yeah!

0:01:02 > 0:01:07Cor, we've got a right mongrel mix of nationalities today.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09We've got a Scot, we've got three English

0:01:09 > 0:01:11and a brace of Americans.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15So, why don't we have a transatlantic peek at what's coming up?

0:01:17 > 0:01:18On today's show, the Reds are rampant.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- I've got to give him a kiss.- You're on the wrong side of the table.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24While the Blues have gone to the dogs.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27It's frightening! It's frightening me.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30- And it all gets animated at the auction.- 90 on the floor.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Fresh bidder. On the floor at 90.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Before all that, let's meet the teams, eh?

0:01:36 > 0:01:41On the Red team today, we have a husband and wife combo,

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Margaret and Jonathan,

0:01:42 > 0:01:47and for the Blues, Cynthia and the lovely Joanna, our mother and daughter combo.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Hello, everybody.- Hello! - Very nice to see you.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Now, Margaret, catering is your trade, Margaret.- Yes.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56And with royal connections. Tell us about that.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Well, Prince Philip comes to or used to come to Fife

0:02:01 > 0:02:04for the horse and carriage show at St Fort.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- He loves driving, doesn't he? - Oh, yes.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08He likes to be one of the chaps

0:02:08 > 0:02:10but he also always holds a drinks party,

0:02:10 > 0:02:12which we cater for.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16And he came into the kitchen when I was in the oven

0:02:16 > 0:02:18and of course my glasses were all steamed up

0:02:18 > 0:02:23and I just saw this little old man standing there, demanding a gin and tonic,

0:02:23 > 0:02:25and I said, "You can't be in here."

0:02:25 > 0:02:27And he said, "Well, I want a gin and tonic."

0:02:27 > 0:02:31And I said, "Well, you'll have to wait," because the tray I was holding was very heavy.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I said, "If you want a gin and tonic,

0:02:33 > 0:02:38"you can either go out that door there, go right to the end of the tent and there's a bar there,

0:02:38 > 0:02:42"or you can wait and ask Prince Philip if you can join him for a drink."

0:02:42 > 0:02:48And then one of the staff nudged me and said, "It IS Prince Philip."

0:02:49 > 0:02:54- Now, Jonathan, your family history teaches us something about drawing a line, doesn't it?- Yes.

0:02:54 > 0:03:00My great-grandfather, a chap called Samuel Plimsoll...

0:03:00 > 0:03:03And a lot of ships were horribly overladen,

0:03:03 > 0:03:05a lot of lives were lost,

0:03:05 > 0:03:10and some people persuaded him to take that cause on

0:03:10 > 0:03:12and the job entailed, for him, really,

0:03:12 > 0:03:17raising the level of the ship so that water didn't go over the deck

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- and wash the sailors into the water. - A margin of safety, really.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25All to do with safety. So you'll see on a ship there's a line at the front

0:03:25 > 0:03:28and it goes across in different striations

0:03:28 > 0:03:33and that's really to make sure that it's not overladen and it's safe.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36And it was known thereafter, forever, as the Plimsoll line.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Indeed, yes. - Well, how interesting.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42And what a nice piece of family history, too.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45You collect a subject that involves drawing lines, don't you?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47Fountain pens, yes, yes.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I've got quite a lot, quite a collection.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I started when I was a youngster at school.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Will you buy a fountain pen on Bargain Hunt today if you see one?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57Well, I might do.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01The last one I got was in Spain in a street market for four euros.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Really?- Yeah, I did rather well.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06We look forward to seeing what you do actually buy today.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Now, girls, are you excited about this?- Very excited.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Didn't sleep last night. - Did you not?- No.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Now, you're an Americano.- Si. - You've travelled the world and finished up in Scotland.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- How did that come about?- Well, like you said, I was born in America

0:04:20 > 0:04:23but to Scottish and Northern Irish immigrants.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27And had a great sense of adventure because of that.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32And I had an opportunity to move to Northern Ireland when my girls were in their early teens

0:04:32 > 0:04:35and I thought, this was perfect, broaden their horizons,

0:04:35 > 0:04:37let them know a little bit about their history.

0:04:37 > 0:04:42- And it took a little persuading but we all moved over to Northern Ireland.- Did you? Lovely.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45And then I went to Spain and then Suffolk

0:04:45 > 0:04:48and now finally in Scotland because I love it here

0:04:48 > 0:04:52and I'm going to be watching my grand-daughter in a couple of months.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Now, Joanna, what exactly do you do?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56I'm a forensic scientist,

0:04:56 > 0:04:59in particular in ballistics or firearms.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04So I'm involved in identifying items, weapons,

0:05:04 > 0:05:09and classifying them in terms of firearms, UK firearms legislation.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13So you'll be at it all guns blazing today, will you, on our show?

0:05:13 > 0:05:15I like what you've done there.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18And what sort of things will you be going for, between you?

0:05:18 > 0:05:21I think I'm going to be looking for collectables,

0:05:21 > 0:05:25so little, maybe, snuff boxes

0:05:25 > 0:05:27or vesta matchboxes.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- And what are you going to collect, Cynthia?- I'm very much into Art Deco things.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34I would have loved to have been a flapper in the '20s.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Really?- Yes.- You could be a flapper now, you know.- Thank you very much. - Not at all.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Now it's the money moment. You get your £300 apiece.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Goody, goody. There's your £300.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44You know the rules, your experts await

0:05:44 > 0:05:47and off you go and very, very, very good luck.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Drumming up a profit today for the Reds - Paul Laidlaw.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59And helping the Blues to keep their heads is Charles Hanson.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11This could be one of my most momentous ever hours.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- All right!- Come on. Get in here. - I'm being serious.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Have we a shopping list, an agenda, a plan?

0:06:16 > 0:06:18It's very simple. I just do as I'm told.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I was about to say, "No, we don't."

0:06:21 > 0:06:22What's the plan, Cynthia?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Well, the plan is you and I are going to look at everything that's down low

0:06:26 > 0:06:29because she can't squat down because she's pregnant.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31She's going to look at everything up high.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35She'll find things. She's got baby brain and can't remember anything.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37I'm of a certain age and can't remember anything.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39You have to remember where we saw everything.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- Shall we go shopping? - Absolutely.- Ready.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- On your marks...- OK.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46- We are off. Go!- Let's go!

0:06:53 > 0:06:54Now, this is great, isn't it?

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- Clearly what you've got here, it's Deco.- Definitely.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00That fan shape is wonderful,

0:07:00 > 0:07:03the bevelled mirror plate on the hand mirror is great.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06We've even got a comb as well.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Just look at that. It is Bakelite.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11I was going to say, is that Bakelite?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Phenol formaldehyde or Bakelite was created in America

0:07:14 > 0:07:18by a Belgian millionaire called Leo Hendrik Baekeland in 1907,

0:07:18 > 0:07:23making it the first synthetic plastic material that could be mass produced.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Joanna, is this your taste?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Erm, I do like the shape of it

0:07:29 > 0:07:32but I think it looks a bit like a pencil case.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- So I'd like it... - She is a Philistine.

0:07:34 > 0:07:40A little bit more regal and rich looking would be my taste.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43No, I was immediately taken with the shape of it.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47I could see myself making up with my long cigarette holder

0:07:47 > 0:07:49and my flapper outfit and getting ready for a night out.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Are we going to fall out, do you think?- Oh, I hope not.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56- No, not with my dear mother. No way. - No way.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58We fall out but we make up quickly.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- The day is young. The hour is young. Let's move on.- OK.

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Continue combing the fair, Blues, but be mindful of time.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Now, what subject are the Reds broaching?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think it has a hallmark.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Silver. It just says silver. - It just says silver.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17That's a really interesting wee brooch.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- TRADER:- I think it's something to do with French...- The French tricolour.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23- TRADER:- You know, the liberty of France during the war.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- That's got a lot of money on it. - £20 to you.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29And it's got no damage.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32I really want to sell this to you in a moment but I want to buy it first.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yes?- Trust me.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Can we just make that a round 15? It's a nice number.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- No!- Oh!

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Mm. I think Paul is holding something back here.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Trust me. I think it's worth that. - All right.

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- May we have this, please, for 18? - You can have it for £18.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Thank you very much. Thanks very much.- Thank you very much.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59OK, clever clogs. You've just paid £18 for that

0:08:59 > 0:09:01but you didn't tell me what it was.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04I didn't want to appear too enthusiastic.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08That isn't in the strictest sense the French tricolour.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11- It's not as simple as the French flag...- Mm-hm.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13..although they are the French colours.

0:09:13 > 0:09:18See this undercutting of the silver, there, underneath the enamel,

0:09:18 > 0:09:21and, indeed, the bleeding of the colours,

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- the gradation of the colours? - That's why I like it.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26That is mimicking, in enamelled silver,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- the woven silk of a medal ribbon. - Oh, right!

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Specifically, the 1914 or '14-'15 Star,

0:09:34 > 0:09:40- the first campaign award given to British troops serving in the First World War.- Really?- Ah!

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Now, no soldier in my opinion wore an enamelled brooch.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's a lady's brooch. - Exactly.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- So who wore that?- A widow?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52So he had a wife... Poignantly, it could have been a widow.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- A widow, yes.- I told you. He knows his stuff, all right.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I think that's £18 well spent. - OK.- Well done.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01- And I think it's a delicious little brooch.- Yes.

0:10:01 > 0:10:06- Are we happy?- Very.- Right, onwards? - Absolutely.- One down.- Come on, then.

0:10:06 > 0:10:07March on, Reds.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11So have those Blues sniffed out any bargains yet?

0:10:11 > 0:10:15What I like over there is that big scent bottle.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17If you want to be a grand Victorian lady,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20which you are, Cynthia - but not that old -

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- you would have been... - You saved yourself!

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- You would have been a serious Victorian society girl.- Indeed.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Handle that.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31- It's very heavy.- It's a big one.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- And you like it because it's big? - It's big, it's substantial.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37It's Edwardian, it's grand.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Look at that lovely cut crystal globular bottle.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43You've got the hallmarks just on there, as well.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45Birmingham, 1904.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47A lovely mushroom stopper.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51- It's quite a nice bottle. What's the best price on it, madam?- £75.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56I have to say I have no knowledge about these kinds of things at all.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I would be totally dependent on you. - No pressure, Hanson. No pressure.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Bring the profits home. Bring the profits home.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06What's it worth? 50, 60, 70?

0:11:06 > 0:11:0980? Around £80, so only a really small profit.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, no, no. We want a big profit.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Bigger is better, Charlie boy, especially with profit.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18That's why I'm panicking. The hour is running.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- We'll think about it.- OK. - Thank you very much.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25- OK.- OK.- Hurry up, Blues. It's all a question of time.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Whilst over with the Reds, it's the time for questions.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Whatever is that? - I was going to ask you that.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Marbled Bakelite. That's a patent - 1930.

0:11:34 > 0:11:39We can ask! There is someone here who owns that, might know what it is.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43- Could I ask you about this?- Yes. - What is that for?

0:11:43 > 0:11:48- I think it's for carrying a hot dish - you know, like a Pyrex, in there.- Mm.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yeah.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53It's quite nice Bakelite.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56And look - there's an ashtray.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- There's a wool winder.- Ah, really?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- A wool winder?- May I have a look?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, I like that.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's got the instructions on it, how to use it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09- You know, when the wool was in the hank?- That's working.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11You notice this is a Mont Blanc?

0:12:11 > 0:12:17- Mont Blanc?- Is that Bakelite, too? - It's Bakelite, yeah. It's an ink bottle.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Oh, look, Jonathan - for your pen.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23There's a lot of objects there.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26We've got two darning mushrooms, napkin rings...

0:12:28 > 0:12:30A wool winder.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32All of a sudden, we've got a themed lot

0:12:32 > 0:12:34and I'll tell you this much.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- The Bakelite market's all right. - Is it really?

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Is there a bulk discount on this? - Hmm.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43£30.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44- 25?- 28.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47- What do you think?- I...- Well...

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Sorry.- Jonny, Jonny, help us.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I think there are quite a few items there for that.- 27, then?

0:12:52 > 0:12:55I think 28's reasonable. I think 30 is reasonable.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- I think 28 is generous. - She's right.- She's right.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01- We're pushing unfairly.- 28. - Thank you, very, very much.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'm quite excited!

0:13:03 > 0:13:08Well done indeed, Blues. Two down in 20 minutes and no signs of slowing, either.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12What a great experience this is turning out to be.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's a magic shop. Purchases are flying at us.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Yeah, this is great.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25The Blues had great expectations, so what the Dickens is Charles doing about it?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Doesn't that just shimmer? Rubies, seed pearls,

0:13:28 > 0:13:33- probably on, what? Nine carat or 15 carat?- Nine carat.- Nine carat.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35It will date to around 1880

0:13:35 > 0:13:38but does it speak to you?

0:13:38 > 0:13:42It's not something I would buy but I do think it's beautiful.

0:13:42 > 0:13:43What's the best price on this brooch?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- My best price would be 180. - I think that's a bit steep.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- HE WHISTLES Do you?- Yeah.- Mm-hm.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I'm saying... - But what do you think, Charles?

0:13:52 > 0:13:53That's it, Cynthia - put him on the spot.

0:13:53 > 0:14:00- I like it.- If you think it will make a ginormous profit,

0:14:00 > 0:14:03then that's your pick, then it's our turn.

0:14:03 > 0:14:04No pressure, then, Charles.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07- What do you think of it? - I... I like it.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Cynthia, you're not that convinced, are you, yet?

0:14:10 > 0:14:11I'm not 100% sure yet.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- So for the time being we'll say thank you but no thanks.- OK.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19Well, team, for the time being, that's 30 minutes gone with nothing bought.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22This flapper girl is unflappable.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Now I'm getting anxious because I think he's dithering.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Why, have you seen anything? - He keeps telling me to look.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Well, you keep telling me to hurry up and...

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Well, OK, well, take your time, then.- Yes, I am.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- That's exactly what I'm doing. - All right.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38- Anyway... - You want me to zip the lip?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I think they'll agree to disagree.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- I'll have a look for something now, yes.- OK.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- This is a sure sign, this is a sure sign. - That just sparkles!

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- Oh, yes!- Can you see, there's blue ribbons on everything.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- That could be an omen.- It's guiding us home, isn't it?- It is.

0:14:55 > 0:14:59- Madam, what's that in your hands? - It's a poodle.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02It walks, talks and barks and its eyes flash

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- and it sits up and begs. - Really? May we see it in action?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10MUSIC: "Carmina Burana" by Orff

0:15:13 > 0:15:14YAPPING

0:15:15 > 0:15:17May I have a look at it?

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- That's probably why it's as good as new.- I know! - It is horrible.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28Oh, yeah. It's frightening! It's frightening me.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32These sorts of toys, Japanese, early examples like this

0:15:32 > 0:15:34- are really quite popular.- Right.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36You want to buy them at the right price.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- How much is it?- Exactly.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40The best we could do is 55.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43In the ideal world, I'd want him for how much?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Yeah. He said £40. - It's talking Scottish, Charles.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50You just didn't hear it properly. It's saying 55.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- That's a shame. - Yeah, that's a bit much.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Are we near? - Can split the difference?

0:15:56 > 0:15:58Oh, I suppose 50.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- You wouldn't go a tiny bit more, would you?- 49?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03- That is a tiny bit more. - That is a tiny bit more.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07- A really tiny bit more. - You did ask for that.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11I say we go for Frenchy. Frenchy's on the Blue team.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Is he on our side?

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Yeah, we'll take him. He says, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes."

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Yes, yes! - We'll take him for £49.- Super!

0:16:19 > 0:16:24Blues finally bring their first purchase to heel after 40 minutes

0:16:24 > 0:16:27but what is this mysterious figure the Reds have found?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30What I think's intriguing about him is that at school,

0:16:30 > 0:16:35we had a rather romanticised image of the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37But this is a German figure

0:16:37 > 0:16:40- and they have him as a more gruesome, grotesque guy.- I see!

0:16:40 > 0:16:46- Erm...- But you couldn't imagine him on your dressing table?

0:16:46 > 0:16:47Absolutely not.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49LAUGHTER

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I've already got something frightening at home.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Jonathan! Really!

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Now, it seems that the Blues need a bit of a pep talk.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01We can either go for a really quick, fast, furious wander over there...

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I like that. I like quick, fast, furious.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Or we can either go back that way and look at the brooch

0:17:08 > 0:17:11and take a chance it's going to be there, still.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17- Yeah.- That's... My little girl wants that, so...- Ah!

0:17:17 > 0:17:20We'll let her have her way on this.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21I think, Joanna, you've got great taste.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25- Let's go back there. - I think we should.- And pray...- OK. - ..it's still there.- OK.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Walking away from an item can be a great bargaining tool.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- I like it.- I like it as well.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I just think that it's a really, really big spend.

0:17:38 > 0:17:45You told us 180 but I'm hoping, if you look at these two keen bargain hunters...

0:17:45 > 0:17:47When you put it like that, how can I resist?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- 160.- So we're not pleading but we are just praying.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53You could squeeze me down to 150.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I think at a squeeze... - I'm going to squeeze you a bit more.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- 130.- 145.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- 140, we'll shake his hand right now. - 140?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07- 140?- Right now.- Thank you so much. Give him a handshake.- Thank you!

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- Thank you. Oh, that's lovely. - We're in business. Thank you.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Thank you very much. - You may have saved our hour.- Yes!

0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Whoo-hoo!- And bacon.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19The Blues have a fair way to go but how are the Reds doing?

0:18:19 > 0:18:21- MAN:- Yeah, certainly. - Thanks very much.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Jonathan, do you want to come? - Yeah. OK.

0:18:26 > 0:18:32- What have you found? - It's a variation on the luckenbooth theme.- Right.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35Luckenbooths are a traditional Scottish brooch.

0:18:35 > 0:18:41Its key features are a crown surmounting a heart-like device.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- It's in what will be nine-carat gold.- Yeah.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47That's a precious medium. Nine times out of ten, they're silver.

0:18:47 > 0:18:53Its unusual form appeals, more than that, the quality of the engraving.

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Date wise, no-one can be any more precise than 19th century, can they?

0:18:57 > 0:18:59I would agree with that.

0:18:59 > 0:19:05- I like that. My only question is... - Will people buy it at auction?

0:19:05 > 0:19:07He said that without moving his lips.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Look, the clock's against us. Cut to the chase.- Right.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14- At the moment it's 100? - I'll do 90. 90 is the best.- £90.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Now, listen, honey-bun. - Yes, sweetheart?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- We don't even have eight minutes. - Yes?

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- And I have a very bad leg.- Yeah?

0:19:22 > 0:19:24I've got a seat round here if you want it.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26Yeah but I can't walk round for the seat.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I'll give you a big kiss if you give it to me for 75.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'll give you a kiss for 80.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Let's not lose it for fiver. Go on - 75.

0:19:32 > 0:19:37- I thought you were going to say 85. - They all say that.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39- 75.- Oh, you're a darling!

0:19:39 > 0:19:41I'm going to give you a kiss! Mwah!

0:19:41 > 0:19:45- I'm going to give him a kiss.- You're on the wrong side of the table.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- JONATHAN:- Her leg's suddenly recovered.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Thank you, darling. - That's lovely. Thank you.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54There we are. Oh, and it's yours...

0:19:54 > 0:19:58It's amazing how your leg recovered when you shot round there to give a kiss.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00That's the healing power of a bargain, Jonny.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05The Reds pick up their third and final item unaware of the drama in the Blue camp.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07Pregnant Joanna had a bit of a turn

0:20:07 > 0:20:10but on-site medics gave her the all-clear

0:20:10 > 0:20:14and her team-mate, Mum, was there to hold her hand.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Straight away, we decided that Charles should finish the shop

0:20:17 > 0:20:18whilst Joanna rested up.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20More on this later.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Right, let's not bleat about the bush. Time is up.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Why don't we check out what the Red team bought, eh?

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Baa!

0:20:28 > 0:20:33They got the silver sweetheart brooch for the darling price of £18.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Next up was the Bakelite bulk-buy bonanza for £28.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43And at £75, they're hoping that the luckenbooth brooch

0:20:43 > 0:20:45really is their lucky charm.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49- In the first 20 minutes... - You are phenomenal, you two.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Was it good fun, your shopping? - Yes, it was. Very good fun.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54I really enjoyed it.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- So how much did you spend all round? - 121.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- So I want 179 of leftover lolly. - You do indeed.- Who's got that?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- And I want the four little ones. - There we are.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06- And I've got the four little ones. - You've got 'em.- It goes over...

0:21:06 > 0:21:09There's a fistful of dough, Paul Laidlaw.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12- I do hope you spend the lot. - Be careful!

0:21:12 > 0:21:14I shall be, now you've said that.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- He's not only careful, he's canny. - Ah!- Ah!

0:21:18 > 0:21:22On that happy note, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?

0:21:22 > 0:21:26At £49, the Blues trotted off with Frenchy,

0:21:26 > 0:21:28the remote-controlled poodle.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31They returned for the nine-carat gold Victorian star brooch,

0:21:31 > 0:21:33paying £140.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Charles took over the shop for their last item,

0:21:37 > 0:21:39so let's catch up and see what he bought.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Thank you for the fob chain. It's different, it's a bit novel.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46I'm quite happy with it. Thank you so much. Really happy with that.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Hail, Carlos.- Hello, Tim. - You bought the third item alone.

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Tell me what it is, then, Charles.

0:21:50 > 0:21:54I've just picked up what I quite like because it's different.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59This object I suspect is 1910-ish, early 20th century,

0:21:59 > 0:22:03and it reads, "Hipp, hipp, hurrah," and it's a fob chain.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- So that would go with the watch inside your pocket and hang like that.- Exactly.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10You see lots of fairly mundane, curb link fob chains.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- This has a bit of a maritime feel. - Yes.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- It cost me £60.- Did it? That's super.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21- So overall, with this object, you have spent £249?- Uh-huh.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25I would like £51 of leftover lolly, please.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28This is an unusual way of going about this. Good.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Thank you. - That's £51 of leftover lolly.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- So what I do now is I give this to the expert.- Yes.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38- There's the £51 of leftover lolly. - Thanks.- OK? There's your 51.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41Now, have you any idea what you're going to spend your £51 on?

0:22:41 > 0:22:45I just think, Tim, I think with Cynthia's wonderful travels...

0:22:45 > 0:22:47She's been everywhere across the States,

0:22:47 > 0:22:50her daughter likewise - they love travelling.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54So something with a certain, I don't know, feel of...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57of giving them some sort of grand tour.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Maybe a bon voyage. Something to welcome them back at the auction, Tim...- Yes.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04..and say, "Hanson, that's amazing. That's going to make a fortune."

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well, Charles, you're a past master at this

0:23:07 > 0:23:09and I wish you bon voyage.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Meanwhile, I'm going to have a bit of a poke about this fair

0:23:12 > 0:23:15and see what I can come up with.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Rather like our contestants today,

0:23:24 > 0:23:28it's perfectly possible to go round a fair like this in Edinburgh

0:23:28 > 0:23:33and come up with the most amazing cross-section of nationalities

0:23:33 > 0:23:35within a single subject.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39So if you take the collectable silver,

0:23:39 > 0:23:42what is it possible to find and at what price?

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Well, this little box on the end contains

0:23:46 > 0:23:48three peppers and three salts.

0:23:48 > 0:23:51What attracted me to them was the beautiful way

0:23:51 > 0:23:55in which they'd been made, with faceted sides

0:23:55 > 0:23:57and then all this planishing.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Now, if these were British hallmarked silver,

0:24:00 > 0:24:03they'd have hallmarks - the Americans don't.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06What they stamp is "sterling" with the maker's name.

0:24:06 > 0:24:11The Webb Company of silversmiths in Philadelphia from the 1950s

0:24:11 > 0:24:13were producing high-quality wares.

0:24:13 > 0:24:18Next, we skip to two English objects in the middle.

0:24:18 > 0:24:23Firstly, a typical, quintessential, indeed, piece

0:24:23 > 0:24:27of late Victorian and Edwardian silversmithing.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32It's a novelty. If you pick up that flap, it's on a slight spring,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36the idea being that this leather-covered block

0:24:36 > 0:24:40would sit on your smart late Victorian or Edwardian desk

0:24:40 > 0:24:45and you'd put notes, clipped in this way, on the desk

0:24:45 > 0:24:47to remind you to do something.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51Look at the top, there, you make out the pukka British hallmark.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54It's for Birmingham and it's about 1898.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Next door is a seriously queer-looking spoon.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's got no marks on it.

0:25:00 > 0:25:05It's actually designed, probably, by Dr Christopher Dresser

0:25:05 > 0:25:08and is much sought-after as a result.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12And next door to that is the Scottish bit.

0:25:12 > 0:25:17These three spoons are all made out of delaminated cow horn

0:25:17 > 0:25:21that's then been heated and shaped and trimmed,

0:25:21 > 0:25:24so as to form the bowl and the stem.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27Each of them has got a little shield.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Each of them has a silver terminal.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31So what would you pay

0:25:31 > 0:25:36for six American, planished silver cruets like this?

0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well, here, in Scotland, in this fair, today,

0:25:40 > 0:25:43they would cost you £60.

0:25:43 > 0:25:44That's not expensive.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48The little clip, when that is refurbished

0:25:48 > 0:25:50and finished and done and dusted,

0:25:50 > 0:25:57will be in a smart shop, at least £200-£250 worth.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01Here in its rough, original condition

0:26:01 > 0:26:04but not difficult to restore, it could be yours for £45.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10The designer spoon, well, it hasn't been recognised for what it is.

0:26:10 > 0:26:17A Dresser plated spoon like this, unmarked, is worth about £80-£120.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Here it could be yours for £35.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24And next door, the group of three Scottish spoons

0:26:24 > 0:26:27are perhaps the best bargain of all

0:26:27 > 0:26:33because the group of three are yours for £15 - £5 each.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Now that really is something to beef about.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40Huh! Right, let's hot-foot it over to the saleroom.

0:26:42 > 0:26:4560, 70, 80,

0:26:45 > 0:26:4790...

0:26:47 > 0:26:51Guess what? It's Anita Manning at Great Western Auctions.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55- What a treat. Hello, Anita. - Welcome to Glasgow again, Tim.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Thank you very much. And the good news on our show today is

0:26:58 > 0:27:01that Joanna from the Blues is able to join us.

0:27:01 > 0:27:02- Ah, wonderful!- Which is good news.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Anyway, for the Reds we've got a mixture.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09First up, the sweetheart brooch. Does that pull your heart strings?

0:27:09 > 0:27:12I think it's a lovely wee thing.

0:27:12 > 0:27:16It's showing the 1914 campaign medal ribbon

0:27:16 > 0:27:19and that's just that wee bit different

0:27:19 > 0:27:22and I think that it's very, very sweet indeed.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- What's it worth? - I've estimated it at £30-£50.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27I might have been a wee bit generous

0:27:27 > 0:27:30but I think that it's just absolutely gorgeous.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33It's a good estimate for us. £18 paid. That's brilliant.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Now, an assorted collection of Bakelite.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40The coloured Bakelite is particularly collectable,

0:27:40 > 0:27:42so I quite that - a good wee selection there.

0:27:42 > 0:27:47- 40 to 80.- OK, £28 paid. We're on a roll here, I tell you.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51And lastly, what about the luckenbooth brooch pendant?

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Well, that's lovely. It's in nine-carat gold

0:27:54 > 0:27:56and it is quite substantial.

0:27:56 > 0:28:00And a luckenbooth brooch was a love token,

0:28:00 > 0:28:03so it has romantic associations

0:28:03 > 0:28:05and I think my buyers will like that.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- So what's it worth, Anita? - £50-£80.

0:28:07 > 0:28:13OK, they paid £75 but I think we can rely on you to whip up some enthusiasm here, Anita.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Thank you very much.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18In the meanwhile, though, let's trot off and have a quick look at the bonus buy.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22OK, Mags and J, you gave the man £179,

0:28:22 > 0:28:24a small fortune by anybody's standards

0:28:24 > 0:28:28and how much of the small fortune did you spend, Paul?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Not a lot, Tim. But look what I got for my money.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Look at those little oddities!- Oh!

0:28:34 > 0:28:38- What do you think they might be? - Oh, heavens above, they're feet.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Well, they would adorn the feet.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45- Those are... - Japanese thingummyjiggies.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49- Getas.- I knew they were. - Sandals. Stilted sandals.

0:28:49 > 0:28:54Obviously not full size. They're not for a child.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58These are miniature hand-carved getas.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02They're worn to elevate one above the dirt and the soil

0:29:02 > 0:29:04and your fine robes don't get dirty - that's what they do.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06And they're still worn today.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10These miniatures, I think, looking at the patina,

0:29:10 > 0:29:12they're definitely 19th-century specimens.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Who made them and why is the question

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- and I've a theory.- Go on, then.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22It's not out the question that a sailor sat and turned and carved those in his spare time.

0:29:22 > 0:29:25But it is a variety of Japanese flip-flop, isn't it?

0:29:25 > 0:29:30- Yes, it is. And how much did you pay for them?- I paid £20 for them.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33- What will you get for them?- I don't think they'll fall on stony ground.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37- Someone will stump up £30 or £40 for those.- So we'll not trip up on them.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39Sorry.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44Paul Laidlaw is not known for a flip, nor is he known for a flop

0:29:44 > 0:29:47and therefore, right now, why don't we found out

0:29:47 > 0:29:51whether Anita Manning sees them as a flip or a flop?

0:29:51 > 0:29:55There we go, Anita. There's a nice little Japanese flip-flop for you.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00- Ah! Miniature things always make me go, "Ah!"- Don't they?

0:30:00 > 0:30:02These are very sweet.

0:30:02 > 0:30:07I particularly like this little turned toe peg.

0:30:07 > 0:30:12- Yeah.- And a little ebony inset in the shape of a heart.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Yeah. I think the heart is a Western motif, isn't it?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- So the Japanese that did this did it for the tourist market.- Yeah.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- They're certainly oddball. What are they worth?- 20 to 40

0:30:21 > 0:30:24- but it's very difficult to say. - Yes, of course it is.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Laidlaw paid £20.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30Next, the Blues and their first item is the Japanese remote...

0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Oh, God.- And the eyes light up! - Yeah, I know.

0:30:33 > 0:30:38I think that's what upset Joanna, you know, and gave her a queer turn.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Yeah.- It's such good fun, it's such good fun.- Good.

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- What's it worth?- I put £20-£40 on it but it could do more.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49- We do have the original box. - They paid £49.

0:30:49 > 0:30:54Next up is the Victorian seed pearl and gem-encrusted gold star.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58This is quite a substantial item.

0:30:58 > 0:31:01Good weight again and we do have rubies.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04This type of starburst brooch was very, very popular,

0:31:04 > 0:31:07- so it's quite a good thing.- Good.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11Money wise, it's a fairly standard piece of Victorian jewellery,

0:31:11 > 0:31:13so you can't expect spectacular results

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- but what do you think it'll bring? - £100-£150.- OK.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19£140 they paid. That could be a bit of a problem.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22Anyway, Joanna, sadly, then had to leave the shopping

0:31:22 > 0:31:26and Charles brassed off on his own and bought the watch chain.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- What do you think about that? - I love this.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32I think that it's a wonderful little item.

0:31:32 > 0:31:37I thought is it something that a cox should wear in a boat?

0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Because he would be counting strokes per minute.- Could be.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44- That's a very good idea. - It's just a guess, really.

0:31:44 > 0:31:48I think it's a very sensible guess. So what is your estimate, Anita?

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- Estimate, £60-£80. - OK, fine.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Well, we need to find out from Joanna and her mother

0:31:53 > 0:31:58whether they think that that was £60 spent by Charles wisely

0:31:58 > 0:32:02and also, what they think about the bonus buy. Thank you, Anita.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Well, Cynthia, Joanna - how are you, darling?

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Feeling great, thank you very much. - Welcome back.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13Because you disappeared and Charles went off to buy the third item

0:32:13 > 0:32:15and the third item that Charles bought you,

0:32:15 > 0:32:19which you haven't seen until today, is this little chap.

0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Ah!- Which is, Charles? - It's just a very unusual fob chain.

0:32:24 > 0:32:26- We think it's American.- Really?- Yeah.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29- So we've got a wee boy in a boat here.- Absolutely.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31And then we've got a motto, haven't we, Charles?

0:32:31 > 0:32:34I thought, you're coming back, so I can now say, "Hipp, hipp, hurrah."

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- And that's what it says on there. - Ah!- Oh, brilliant.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- I really like that.- You really like it?- I like that a lot.

0:32:40 > 0:32:45- Had you been here, you would have supported Charles in that purchase? - Absolutely.- Good.

0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Anyway, Charles, on your behalf, spent £60 on it.- I did.- Very good.

0:32:49 > 0:32:50How much do you think that'll make?

0:32:50 > 0:32:54I like it. I think it's worth between, probably, £70 and £100.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Oh, well, that's all right, then. - OK.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59So I'm going to pocket that one and that is your third item,

0:32:59 > 0:33:03- which means that in total, you spent £249.- OK.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07And you weren't here, so I gave Charles £51 of leftover lolly

0:33:07 > 0:33:09and Charles is going to show you now what he spent the £51 on.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13I like to scrape the barrel and I couldn't quite spend all of it,

0:33:13 > 0:33:17so I spent £30 and it was a case of bon voyage but you're back.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20And I thought, you're a global jet-setter

0:33:20 > 0:33:22and you might like that.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24I do. I love that.

0:33:24 > 0:33:29It's novel, it's neat and being good-looking ladies,

0:33:29 > 0:33:32you need to keep yourselves up and coming

0:33:32 > 0:33:34and it's a mirrored compact

0:33:34 > 0:33:37with, you know, your little make-up pack under there as well.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Bon voyage.- How old is it? - Probably, looking at the case,

0:33:41 > 0:33:44looking at the style, it's novel, maybe 1940s, '50s.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Ah!- And it's just a sweet little thing but it's a jet-setting object.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- I absolutely love it. - And how much do you think...?

0:33:52 > 0:33:54It's gilt metal. It cost me £30.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58And I think probably in a sale, it ought to make, for its novelty value,

0:33:58 > 0:34:01between £40-£60 happily all day long.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04I would pay that for it. I love it. I absolutely love it.

0:34:04 > 0:34:08- And well thought through, Charles. - Thanks, Tim. - Good job!- Thank you.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10OK, girls, stand by because for the viewers at home,

0:34:10 > 0:34:13we're going to show Anita Charles's little compact.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Little something for the weekend, Anita.- Ah, yes.

0:34:17 > 0:34:22- There's your suitcase.- A lovely little compact from the 1950s.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25In the 1950s, every girl had a compact

0:34:25 > 0:34:26and used powder

0:34:26 > 0:34:29and this is a particularly nice, quality one.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33I like the fact that it's a little suitcase. A lovely little thing.

0:34:33 > 0:34:37If we open it up, we can see that it has been made by Kigu.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40Now, these were a Hungarian-based company

0:34:40 > 0:34:45and they made a quality product, they made good compacts,

0:34:45 > 0:34:48so Charles, despite the fact that he's a bloke...

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Clearly he's in touch with his feminine side.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54- Is that right?- He's chosen a good-quality compact.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56You've got the box, you've got the outer cover,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59- it's in great condition and not used much, I guess.- Yeah.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02So what would a wee girlie pay for something like that?

0:35:02 > 0:35:05Well, hopefully in today's market between £30 and £50.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09He's no fool, that Charles, is he? £30 he paid,

0:35:09 > 0:35:11so let's hope that the team go with it.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- And you're on the rostrum today? - I am.- We're in safe hands.

0:35:22 > 0:35:26- Now, Jonathan and Margaret, this is the exciting moment.- It is.

0:35:26 > 0:35:29First up is the sweetheart brooch. She reckons it could make £30-£50.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31And here it comes.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34That's a lovely wee thing. It's beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38£50. Straight in there at £50.

0:35:38 > 0:35:43Any advance on 50? 60, 70, 80, 90.

0:35:43 > 0:35:49- £90!- £90. Any advance on £90? All done at £90. £90.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52- Yes! That is so good. £90. - Clever girl.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55That's £72.

0:35:55 > 0:35:59Plus £72 straight up. Look out. Now Bakelite.

0:35:59 > 0:36:04I can start the bidding at £20 for all the Bakelite.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07Any advance on 20? 30, 40 with me.

0:36:07 > 0:36:1050. I'm out. It's on the floor at 50.

0:36:10 > 0:36:1260.

0:36:12 > 0:36:1560 at the back. With the gentleman at £60.

0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Any advance on 60?- £60!

0:36:17 > 0:36:20All done at £60? £60.

0:36:20 > 0:36:2460. That's two off 30, so that is plus 32.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26You are plus 104.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Wow!- Just like that.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Wait, wait. - Now, we've got the brooch.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35Traditionally given to lovers, ladies and gentlemen.

0:36:36 > 0:36:37Start me at £50.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41£50 for the nine-carat luckenbooth. £50.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45My left hand will start at 50.

0:36:45 > 0:36:46Three bids on the books.

0:36:46 > 0:36:51- 60, 70, 80.- Ooh!

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- 80 with me. - You're in profit with that.

0:36:53 > 0:36:5590 on the floor.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57I have £100 on the books.

0:36:57 > 0:37:02Any advance on 100? All done at 100. 100...

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- You are plus 25.- Yes!

0:37:04 > 0:37:07You are plus 129.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09I think the drinks are on you.

0:37:09 > 0:37:14- We spent £121...- You spent 121 and you just made £129 profit.

0:37:14 > 0:37:19- Yes!- But, but, but, but, but, there's something else, isn't there?

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- Yeah but are you going to go with it?- What do you think? - You don't have to.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24- I know but...- You've got all that cash in the bank.

0:37:24 > 0:37:26- I know but... - Do you want to risk it?

0:37:26 > 0:37:28- Go on, then! - Is that what you're going to do?

0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Yes!- Are you going to refer to the husband or not?- No, not at all.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34She never has yet. Why would she start now?

0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Anyway, here it comes. - Two bids on the books.

0:37:36 > 0:37:40I can come straight in here at 20. On the books at 20.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Any advance on £20?

0:37:42 > 0:37:46- 25 with Anna. With Anna at 25. - Well done. You clever chap.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49Any advance on 25? 25...

0:37:49 > 0:37:55Plus £5 means that is 134. Plus 134.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Oh!- Plus 134. Isn't that amazing? - Thank you, thank you, thank you.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01If there are any horses running, Margaret should put it on.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03- She's on a winning streak here, isn't she?- Yes.

0:38:03 > 0:38:07- It's like going to the races, isn't it?- Yes, it is.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- Of course not.

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- Look gloomy.- We'll try.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21- So do you know how the Reds got on? - No.- You don't?- Not at all.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Did they look gloomy?- Yes, they did. - They looked gloomy?

0:38:25 > 0:38:26They did look quite depressed.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30- Now, listen, your remote-controlled toy, Frenchy.- Yes!

0:38:30 > 0:38:34£49 you paid for that. Anita didn't like it much.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37- She's put £20-£40 on it. Here it comes.- Good luck, team.

0:38:37 > 0:38:39Start me at £50 for Frenchy.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Start me at £50.

0:38:41 > 0:38:44£50? £30, then.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48£30. 30 bid. 40. I'll take five again.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50- 45?- One more.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Any advance on 45?- Come on.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Any advance on 45?

0:38:55 > 0:38:59- 50.- We got it!- 60. - You're in profit.

0:38:59 > 0:39:04Any advance on £60? All done at £60? £60...

0:39:04 > 0:39:06- Yes!- Yeah!

0:39:06 > 0:39:09That is plus £11. Nothing the matter with that.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10Well done.

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Mother's very happy. Now the star brooch.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18Start me at £100. Start me at 100. 100 bid.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22- 110 on the phone.- Come on, come on. There's a phone bid.

0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Yes!- 150.- You're in profit.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29- 150.- Come on. One more.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32- 160.- One more.- You're in profit. 160. That's good.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- 170.- Come on.- 170 on the phone.

0:39:36 > 0:39:41Any advance on 170? All done at 170? 170...

0:39:41 > 0:39:42- GAVEL BANGS Yes!- Yes!- That's £30 up.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Well done. Well done. - You are plus 30 up.

0:39:45 > 0:39:46Good.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Now, Charles, your investment for the girls.- Yes!

0:39:49 > 0:39:52One of my favourite lots here. It's of rowing interest.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Could be American. Will you start me at £50?

0:39:55 > 0:39:5850 bid. 60, 70.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02- 80? £80.- Come on. - A most unusual item.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06At £80. Any advance on £80? £80...

0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Yes! Well done.- Hipp, hipp, hurrah! Plus 20.- Well done.- Yes!

0:40:10 > 0:40:15- Hipp, hipp! Hurrah! - Yes, hipp, hipp, hurrah.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18You are now 50, 61... Plus 61, yes?

0:40:18 > 0:40:20Now, what are you going to do about this compact?

0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Are you going to go with it?- We're going for it.- You're going to do it?

0:40:23 > 0:40:26- I think so.- Absolutely. He hasn't let us down so far, so...

0:40:26 > 0:40:30- No. Well, there you go. That's it, then, is it?- Absolutely.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Team decision, you're going with the bonus buy, so here it comes.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36So this is a Kigu one, highly collectable.

0:40:36 > 0:40:40- Start me at £20. 20 bid.- Come on. - Any advance on 20?

0:40:40 > 0:40:4230. The lady at 30.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45Any advance on £30?

0:40:45 > 0:40:47All done at £30. £30...

0:40:48 > 0:40:51So, girls, you're plus £61. That is a splendid result.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53You made a profit on the first three items.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Don't say a word to the Reds because this could be a winning score.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07- Everybody happy?- Yes. - As you jolly well ought to be

0:41:07 > 0:41:11because we have winners on this programme but we don't have losers any more.

0:41:11 > 0:41:14We've only ever had winners and runners-up

0:41:14 > 0:41:19and the runners-up today, who've done extraordinarily well, nevertheless, are

0:41:19 > 0:41:23- the Blues. - Oh!- Oh!- Shame!

0:41:23 > 0:41:29The Blues have managed to become runners-up by only making £61 profit.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- That is great. - I'm going to give you the £61.

0:41:32 > 0:41:36- And also, you get to get the Golden Gavel...- Yay!- Well done.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39..because you made a profit on all three items.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43- And here...- Wow. - ..are your Golden Gavels.
