We're at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Home Fair -

0:00:090:00:12

one of the largest in Europe, don't you know?

0:00:120:00:15

So, no time to waste.

0:00:150:00:17

Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!

0:00:170:00:20

It's a lovely day here in Lincoln.

0:00:430:00:46

The crowds have turned up in force,

0:00:460:00:48

so the race is on to find those bargains.

0:00:480:00:51

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

0:00:510:00:54

'The reds feel the ups and downs of negotiation.'

0:00:550:00:59

-Would £20 buy it?

-What about 25?

0:00:590:01:01

-Meet in the middle?

-27.

-LAUGHTER

0:01:010:01:05

-BLOWS TUNELESSLY

-'The blues are full of hot air.'

0:01:050:01:08

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you very much.

0:01:080:01:12

'So, let's meet today's teams.'

0:01:130:01:17

On the show today, we have father and daughter Gerry and Beth.

0:01:180:01:24

And for the blues, we have father Ricardo and son Tom.

0:01:240:01:27

-Hello, everyone. Lovely to see you.

-ALL: Hello.

0:01:270:01:31

-Gerry, you're retired, but what did you use to do?

-I was a teacher for 43 years.

0:01:310:01:36

17 of which I was a head teacher.

0:01:360:01:38

Then I took early retirement and I missed it, so I went back to supply teaching.

0:01:380:01:44

-You were a devil for punishment.

-Absolutely!

0:01:440:01:47

-Tell me, you have a love for fast cars.

-I do, indeed.

0:01:470:01:50

In the 1970s, I was a semi-professional rally driver

0:01:500:01:54

and drove to international standard.

0:01:540:01:56

Now I just organise events.

0:01:560:01:58

-What sort of motorcars did you go rallying in?

-My favourite was the Escort RS2000.

0:01:580:02:03

-It's the one I had most success with.

-That's quite a hairy thing.

-Absolutely.

0:02:030:02:07

-Beth, you also have a love of motorsports.

-Yes, I've been brought up into it with my dad.

0:02:070:02:12

I compete regularly now, but I also help him organise events as well.

0:02:120:02:16

-Do you drive your own car?

-On occasion, but usually my partner drives our little Peugeot 106.

0:02:160:02:22

-What else do you get up to?

-I also like to do pottery as well.

0:02:220:02:26

I quite like going to the gym, so I like a variety of hobbies.

0:02:260:02:31

Very good luck.

0:02:310:02:33

Now, chaps. Tom, you're a student. What are you studying?

0:02:330:02:36

I study landscape architecture and town planning at the University of Sheffield -

0:02:360:02:40

the design and implementation of anything which isn't a building.

0:02:400:02:44

It's not just digging up allotments and rearranging old ladies' front gardens?

0:02:440:02:49

No. That's more gardening.

0:02:490:02:51

It can work on a larger scale, large town areas.

0:02:510:02:54

-Laying out cities and things like that. Very varied.

-Exciting stuff.

-Very exciting.

0:02:540:02:59

-Richard, tell us about your love of biking.

-I started when I was young.

0:02:590:03:04

I rode to a fairly good standard

0:03:040:03:06

-and then discovered women and drink, basically.

-Oh, yeah.

0:03:060:03:10

-You grew up?

-I grew up, yeah.

0:03:100:03:12

When we were on holiday, when I was a lot older,

0:03:120:03:16

my son took a photo of me on a beach in profile in a pair of shorts.

0:03:160:03:20

I'd ballooned to 14 stone and he put it on a media website.

0:03:200:03:24

I saw this fat bloke and thought, "I've got to do something." So I got my bike out again.

0:03:240:03:29

-Good for you!

-Three years ago, I started biking again.

0:03:290:03:32

Tom-Tom, did you do that deliberately to shame your father?

0:03:320:03:36

-He didn't tell me about it.

-It was, yeah, cruel but...

-Cruel.

0:03:360:03:40

I feel the £300-moment coming on. There's your £300, Bethan.

0:03:400:03:43

-There you go, Tom.

-Wonderful.

0:03:430:03:46

You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go.

0:03:460:03:49

And very, very, very good luck. Just like two peas in a pod.

0:03:490:03:53

'Hoping to hit the jackpot today for the reds is:

0:03:540:03:58

'Trying to make the numbers work for the blues is:

0:03:590:04:02

'Gosh! You're wearing well for your years.'

0:04:020:04:05

-I want to get something silver.

-Really?

-Something classy and silver.

0:04:080:04:12

-Quality silver item.

-Not plated. Silver.

0:04:120:04:15

Can you tell the difference between a bit of silver and silver plate?

0:04:150:04:19

-Um...

-No.

-No.

0:04:190:04:21

-But I'm sure YOU can.

-Yes, I think I probably can.

0:04:210:04:25

-What do you want to buy?

-I don't know. Ceramics, maybe?

0:04:270:04:30

-Ceramics, yeah. Plenty of bling.

-Plenty of bling?

0:04:300:04:33

-Your dad likes bling?

-He does. He likes his bling.

0:04:330:04:36

-Silver, jewellery, yeah.

-Anything like that.

0:04:360:04:38

Well, let's go for it, guys, cos there's plenty of it in there.

0:04:380:04:43

Right.

0:04:430:04:45

'So, both teams have strong ideas on what they want.

0:04:460:04:49

'Now they just have to track them down!'

0:04:490:04:52

-Is that silver or silver plate?

-That's silver. I'm assuming.

0:04:540:04:57

I don't know much about hallmarks.

0:04:570:04:59

Let's have a quick, simple hallmark lesson.

0:04:590:05:03

'Stand by for some excellent expert advice on silverware.

0:05:030:05:07

'Off you go, Charlie.'

0:05:070:05:09

This is silver. What you must have is the lion. Can you see the lion?

0:05:090:05:13

The lion passant. Then the other marks. Here, you've got a crown.

0:05:130:05:18

Now, each assay office has a different mark.

0:05:180:05:21

If something is made in London, it has a leopard's head.

0:05:210:05:24

Made in Birmingham, it has an anchor.

0:05:240:05:27

A crown - this is made in Sheffield. Then it has a letter date.

0:05:270:05:31

Stylistically, looking at that, we're probably thinking 1920, 1930.

0:05:310:05:38

-So, perhaps not quite an antique.

-Right.

0:05:380:05:42

Silver, yes. Let's find something that isn't silver.

0:05:420:05:45

Generally speaking, if something's not silver, it will have EPNS on it.

0:05:450:05:50

Or other words. There, AA - Electro Plate.

0:05:500:05:54

It hasn't got the old lion on it. Put it back in the pot.

0:05:540:05:58

-Right.

-OK?

-Rid of!

0:05:580:06:01

'You tell 'em, Charlie.

0:06:030:06:05

'Armed with new silver-spotting knowledge, do the blues have an advantage over those reds?'

0:06:050:06:11

That's nice, Beth, that silver claret jug.

0:06:110:06:14

A claret jug? All right. Let's have a look at it.

0:06:140:06:18

I like the detail on it.

0:06:180:06:20

It's priced at £24, so that's telling me that it is plate.

0:06:200:06:25

I see why you were drawn to it because It's a lovely shape.

0:06:250:06:28

It's maybe turn-of-the-century, so late 19th, early 20th.

0:06:280:06:33

-You do really like it.

-I do.

-Definitely.

0:06:330:06:36

-Both of you like it?

-Yes.

-Yes.

0:06:360:06:38

-Dad and daughter in agreement!

-Absolutely.

0:06:380:06:41

If you like it that much, I think we should have a wee go for it.

0:06:410:06:45

We're interested in this piece. It's labelled at 24.

0:06:450:06:48

-Could we do any better on it?

-< I could do £20 for it.

0:06:480:06:52

-Could you make it 18?

-I couldn't, unfortunately.

-OK.

0:06:520:06:57

-£20?

-I'd go for £20. I think that's a fair price.

0:06:570:07:01

-Well done. You've made your first bargain.

-Thank you very much.

0:07:010:07:04

-Thank you.

-< Hope you do well with it.

0:07:040:07:08

-What's that? Five minutes and our first item?

-Well done.

-First one in the bag.

0:07:080:07:13

'Five minutes in, eh? Not bad, reds.

0:07:150:07:18

'As you say, the first one in the old bag.

0:07:180:07:21

'Aye-aye! Silver seems popular today.'

0:07:220:07:25

What have you got there? A pair of sterling silver coasters.

0:07:250:07:29

Coasters are good things because everybody likes a coaster.

0:07:290:07:32

-Mm-hm.

-I quite like them.

-And they're stylish.

0:07:320:07:35

-And jolly nearly Victorian. Do you want to look at them?

-Yeah.

0:07:350:07:38

-May we look at your coasters, sir?

-Do you like them, Tom?

-Well, yeah.

0:07:380:07:43

There you go. Sterling, pretty good condition.

0:07:460:07:49

It's obviously quite a thin gauge because you can see various marks,

0:07:490:07:54

-but I think they're pretty things.

-I like them.

0:07:540:07:58

How much could they be, sir? Can they be £30?

0:07:580:08:01

Or is that just being too rude? I don't want to be rude. I like them.

0:08:010:08:05

I need to make a phone call on those.

0:08:050:08:07

Could you make a phone call for us? That's very kind.

0:08:070:08:11

'Whilst the blues wait on a telephone call,

0:08:110:08:14

'the reds prepare for a recap with Anita.'

0:08:140:08:17

-So, we've got the shiny bit. We've got the bling.

-Yes.

0:08:170:08:21

-So, are we thinking pottery, maybe?

-Ceramics, bit of pottery.

-Yes.

0:08:210:08:26

-What kind of ceramics do you like?

-I like Poole Pottery.

0:08:260:08:30

-Oh, I LOVE Poole Pottery.

-Do you?

-I love Poole Pottery.

0:08:300:08:34

A nice big slab of that beautiful...

0:08:340:08:36

-A lovely bowl in those bright colours.

-Yeah.

0:08:360:08:39

'It seems they've settled on a plan.

0:08:390:08:42

'Now, they just need to find a needle amongst that haystack.'

0:08:420:08:45

-I'm afraid the best they can be is 40.

-Yeah.

0:08:460:08:49

Right, guys, we need to buy something at some stage.

0:08:490:08:52

-What do you reckon?

-I think they're right on the money.

0:08:520:08:56

So you're not going to lose a lot. You're not going to make a lot.

0:08:560:09:00

Two coasters for 40 quid, silver, I think that's all right.

0:09:000:09:04

-We're going for that, then?

-Yeah.

-We're going to make our first buy!

0:09:040:09:08

-Are you excited?

-I am excited.

0:09:080:09:10

-Sir, we're going to have those. Happy, guys?

-Yes.

-Wa-hay!

0:09:100:09:14

-Super-dooper!

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:09:140:09:17

'Great. At ten minutes in, that's the first purchase for the blues.

0:09:190:09:23

'It's one-all. Meanwhile, it looks like Anita's spotted something

0:09:230:09:28

'which she wants to share with her team.'

0:09:280:09:30

Got a bit of Poole up there.

0:09:300:09:32

Gerry! Poole Pottery!

0:09:320:09:35

-He likes the Poole.

-There it is!

0:09:350:09:37

-Is that what you like?

-That's what I'm looking for.

0:09:370:09:41

-This is smashing.

-Be better if the inside was colour as well.

0:09:420:09:46

So it means you have to put it up reasonably high.

0:09:460:09:50

-But that's from the '70s.

-Yes.

0:09:500:09:53

It's from the Delphis and Aegean range.

0:09:530:09:56

-If you think of that time it was the psychedelic period.

-Yeah.

0:09:560:10:01

Flower power, all that sort of stuff.

0:10:010:10:04

What I love about Poole

0:10:040:10:06

is that Poole always reflected the times that they lived in.

0:10:060:10:11

So, a nice piece of '60s, '70s Poole.

0:10:110:10:14

-Looks in good condition, as well.

-Looks in good condition.

0:10:140:10:18

-Now, do you like that?

-I do.

0:10:180:10:21

-I quite like that.

-Do you?

0:10:210:10:23

-Like you say, I think it'd be nicer if it had colour inside.

-Yeah.

0:10:230:10:26

Let's have a wee look. £38 on that.

0:10:260:10:30

I would try to come in around about 20,

0:10:300:10:34

so you're thinking of the lowest possible price,

0:10:340:10:37

and see if there's any negotiation on that.

0:10:370:10:41

It's better, sometimes, than saying, "What's the best you can do?"

0:10:410:10:44

"Is it possible...?" "Can it be bought for...?"

0:10:440:10:48

"We'd like it if there was more colour inside."

0:10:480:10:51

"Do you have some other Poole which maybe gives us more colour?"

0:10:510:10:57

So, if you go from that angle, you might get a deal.

0:10:570:11:01

-You can handle this one, Dad.

-It's your one, Dad!

0:11:010:11:05

-Ask him if he's got any other Poole.

-I will.

0:11:060:11:09

'Go on! Get to it, Gerry!'

0:11:090:11:11

Excuse me, have you got any other Poole or is that the only piece?

0:11:110:11:15

-I think that's all we've got left.

-I like it. We all like it.

0:11:150:11:19

We'd have preferred if the inside was coloured.

0:11:190:11:22

-It's a nice size.

-It is.

0:11:220:11:25

We're thinking would £20 buy it?

0:11:250:11:28

I know it's a nice day, but come on! £20? What about 25?

0:11:290:11:33

-Meet you in the middle?

-27?

0:11:330:11:35

-BETH LAUGHING:

-By my calculations...

0:11:350:11:39

-22. You've got a deal.

-Thank you very much.

0:11:390:11:42

You're both quite good at bargaining.

0:11:420:11:44

-Anita's taught you well.

-LAUGHTER

0:11:440:11:48

Delighted. Thank you very much indeed.

0:11:480:11:51

'You know, you should always trust Anita. Great.

0:11:510:11:54

'That's the second purchase made for the reds.'

0:11:540:11:57

-You like a bit of music, don't you?

-Yes!

0:11:570:12:01

Look at this!

0:12:010:12:03

"Besson & Company."

0:12:030:12:05

What do we know about that?

0:12:050:12:07

"From London, England."

0:12:070:12:09

It's not a tuba, it's too small. What is it? A horn of some sort?

0:12:110:12:16

-< Tuba.

-It IS a tuba?

0:12:160:12:18

I thought tubas were bigger than that.

0:12:180:12:20

BLOWS TUNELESSLY

0:12:200:12:22

'Cor, what a racket! Don't give up the day job, Charlie, eh?

0:12:220:12:27

'You'll burst a blood vessel.'

0:12:270:12:29

-LAUGHTER

-Thank you very much!

0:12:290:12:32

-Have we got a hat?

-I didn't know you were musical.

0:12:320:12:35

LAUGHTER

0:12:350:12:37

There's a man laughing at my playing!

0:12:370:12:40

-I like it, though.

-Besson & Company, I have heard of.

0:12:400:12:43

"Prototype", 198 Euston Road, London.

0:12:430:12:46

-Has that got any age to it?

-Good condition. It has got some age.

0:12:460:12:50

'20s, '30s, I would have thought.

0:12:500:12:52

Yeah. 1920. It just struck me as being...a lovely thing.

0:12:520:12:57

It seems to me, as an old expert,

0:12:570:13:00

-that it still works particularly well.

-He's going again.

-Stand back.

0:13:000:13:04

BLOWS TUNELESSLY

0:13:040:13:06

That's Mozart's third horn concerto.

0:13:070:13:10

You probably don't recognise it, but it is - my version of it.

0:13:100:13:13

How much is it?

0:13:130:13:15

-I think that's all right.

-How do they do at auction?

0:13:150:13:18

You've got two lots of buyers. Someone that wants to play it.

0:13:180:13:22

From a purist's point of view, it wouldn't be as good as a new one.

0:13:220:13:26

But what about that as a thing to hang on a wall in a pub?

0:13:260:13:29

It's a really stylish looking thing.

0:13:290:13:32

What do I think that would make at auction? 50 quid.

0:13:320:13:35

-50 quid?

-That's what I think it would make.

0:13:350:13:37

It's a question of how much flexibility there is in there.

0:13:370:13:41

I'll do it for 40. It'll give you a chance.

0:13:410:13:43

I like it and I reckon it's in good nick and quite eye-catching.

0:13:430:13:47

-Do you want that, guys?

-Yeah, we'll take it. Cool.

0:13:470:13:50

-Thank you.

-Thanks a lot, mate.

0:13:500:13:52

Cheers, lads. Brilliant.

0:13:520:13:55

'Well done, blues. Pleasant music to me ears. A second purchase made.'

0:13:570:14:02

I'd really like a one-off small piece of furniture.

0:14:030:14:06

A nice chair that's got something quirky about it would be lovely.

0:14:060:14:10

-You would like a nice wee chair?

-Yes.

0:14:100:14:12

-There's a nice little corner chair over there.

-Let's have a look.

0:14:120:14:16

-Ah, yeah. That's very sweet.

-Yeah.

0:14:160:14:19

I like the curves on the back.

0:14:190:14:22

-That's nice. What's it made from?

-It's made from oak.

0:14:220:14:25

And you have this straw, cane.

0:14:250:14:30

What I like about this are the nice lyre supports here.

0:14:300:14:36

-Do you want to have a look at the price?

-Go on!

0:14:360:14:39

-LAUGHING:

-There you go.

0:14:390:14:42

-£145.

-Hm.

-It says circa 1900 as well.

0:14:430:14:47

-So it's quite old.

-It is a pretty chair. It's a functional chair.

0:14:470:14:51

As well as that, it's decorative.

0:14:510:14:54

Do you want to have a look elsewhere?

0:14:540:14:56

We've got a bit of time left. Do you think we should see if there's something else?

0:14:560:15:00

-Then we can come back.

-Yeah, but just...

0:15:000:15:04

clock where we are, all right?

0:15:040:15:07

-We've got a wee bit of time.

-Yeah.

0:15:070:15:10

-That's a good choice. She's got a good eye.

-She has.

0:15:100:15:13

She's me daughter. ANITA LAUGHS

0:15:130:15:16

'Ah. All right, something to think about, reds.

0:15:160:15:19

'Don't leave it too long - only 15 minutes left.'

0:15:190:15:23

I think we'll get to the T-junction, turn left

0:15:230:15:27

and you've got to keep your eyes peeled, guys.

0:15:270:15:31

Cos what we want to avoid is that desperate last-minute purchase,

0:15:310:15:36

where it can all go HORRIBLY wrong!

0:15:360:15:39

'Yup, we've seen THAT more than a few times, Charlie.

0:15:390:15:43

'Meanwhile, the reds are still looking for a chair.'

0:15:430:15:47

-How about that one?

-You like that?

-Yeah. The one behind the antlers.

0:15:470:15:51

Let's have a wee look.

0:15:510:15:53

Let's take Rudolph out the way.

0:15:530:15:56

-It's quite a nice one, that one. It looks in good condition.

-It does.

0:15:580:16:02

-How old do you think it might be?

-Again, turn of the century.

0:16:020:16:07

Late 19th, probably. It's a Victorian chair.

0:16:070:16:11

It's in oak again, but this is a mid oak.

0:16:110:16:14

It's been stained a darker colour.

0:16:140:16:17

-The one that you liked formerly was a light oak.

-Yeah.

0:16:170:16:22

In today's market, light oak is more desirable.

0:16:220:16:26

The lighter the oak is, the better.

0:16:260:16:28

-I wonder what price it is.

-It's priced up at £100.

0:16:280:16:31

-Is it?

-Priced up at 100.

0:16:310:16:33

-Which one do you prefer?

-The first one, the corner chair.

-OK.

0:16:330:16:37

I prefer the light oak to the dark.

0:16:370:16:39

I would say that your other little chair

0:16:390:16:43

-is more in keeping with today's tastes...

-OK.

0:16:430:16:47

-..than this Victorian one.

-OK? Move on?

0:16:470:16:50

Move on.

0:16:500:16:52

'We're 50 minutes into the shop and both teams still need to make one more purchase.'

0:16:560:17:02

-We need something big.

-Big, yeah. Imposing.

0:17:020:17:05

-What's it going to be made of?

-I don't know.

0:17:050:17:07

-Do you like 20th-century stuff?

-Not particularly.

-No.

0:17:070:17:12

50 quid. It's going to make £35 at auction

0:17:120:17:15

and you're going to blame me!

0:17:150:17:17

There's a bishop's chair there.

0:17:170:17:19

-Not quite as quirky as I was looking for.

-Uh-huh.

0:17:190:17:22

-We've got five minutes left. Feeling anxious.

-Getting a bit anxious. We're struggling to find something.

0:17:220:17:29

-Do you think we should go and get that chair?

-Yes.

0:17:290:17:32

-I think it might be a good idea to go and...

-Let's head back.

0:17:320:17:36

I think you're absolutely right. We could wander down there for ever.

0:17:360:17:40

We've got four minutes to buy something!

0:17:410:17:44

'What did you say about last-minute purchases, Charlie?'

0:17:440:17:47

-I'm worried now.

-What...?

0:17:470:17:50

Burmantofts art pottery. >

0:17:500:17:52

Burmantofts art pottery, that is a good make.

0:17:520:17:54

Late Victorian, good collectable pottery. How much is it?

0:17:540:17:59

< 125.

0:18:010:18:02

It's unmarked. We're pretty sure it's Burmantofts.

0:18:020:18:06

-What do you mean you're pretty sure it's Burmantofts?

-Sorry?

0:18:060:18:10

-What do you mean you're pretty sure?

-I would be happier if it was impressed "Burmantofts".

0:18:100:18:14

'I'm sure you would, Charlie. Blowing £125 on unmarked vases

0:18:140:18:19

'isn't usually considered terribly wise.'

0:18:190:18:22

Now, do you guys know where we're going?

0:18:220:18:25

-I think it's in this tent here.

-Oh, right.

0:18:250:18:28

Yes, there it is.

0:18:280:18:30

Oh, yes. There it is.

0:18:300:18:33

Somebody's put a bag on that. I hope that isn't saying that it's sold.

0:18:330:18:37

-Has it been sold?

-Oh!

0:18:380:18:40

Oh, dear. Well, you take your chances.

0:18:410:18:44

-Someone saw in it what we saw in it.

-Obviously must have done.

0:18:440:18:47

-Never mind.

-We'd better get a move on and find something else.

0:18:470:18:51

'Time's fast running out.'

0:18:510:18:53

What are we going to do now?

0:18:530:18:55

-I quite like that red one. Shall we go for that one?

-Which one?

0:18:550:18:59

-The red leather one.

-We'll go and have another look.

0:18:590:19:02

If we march straight up the top and see if there's anything there, we can come back for it.

0:19:020:19:06

Something would have caught your eye. If we're going back that way, you've got to go for that chair.

0:19:060:19:11

If you go up this way, you might find something, but you might not!

0:19:110:19:16

And we're in the same situation. We've got to be decisive here!

0:19:160:19:20

-OK.

-OK, go for that chair, then.

-Go for the chair? I quite like it.

0:19:200:19:24

OK. Let's go for it, then.

0:19:240:19:27

'Bad luck, reds. It happens, I'm afraid.

0:19:280:19:31

'Now you've really got your work cut out. Two minutes left.

0:19:310:19:35

'The blues are still deliberating. Come on, guys! Make a decision!'

0:19:350:19:40

How much do you reckon it'll make at auction?

0:19:400:19:43

-CHARLIE LAUGHS

-100 quid.

0:19:430:19:46

< Burmantofts sells for over 200.

0:19:470:19:49

It could make more, yeah, yeah.

0:19:490:19:51

-I'm just telling you what I think it will make.

-115?

0:19:510:19:55

< 120.

0:19:550:19:57

I'll meet you in the middle, 117.50.

0:19:570:20:00

-Go on!

-Go on, go on, go on.

0:20:020:20:03

< 117, forget the 50p.

0:20:030:20:05

-Oh! Shall we shake at 117?

-Did you hear that? £117.

0:20:050:20:10

For a Burmantofts pot. Guys, you've taken a gamble.

0:20:100:20:13

-We have.

-That's what it's all about.

0:20:130:20:16

I'm sure that's... It's great, stylistically.

0:20:160:20:19

-I love the decorations.

-CONTESTANTS LAUGHING

0:20:190:20:21

We're going to win or lose! You can't do anything else.

0:20:210:20:25

But you've bought something I really like.

0:20:250:20:28

-I would really like to have seen Burmantofts...

-Let's not focus on that.

-Let's not dwell.

0:20:280:20:33

The fact is that is a good thing and you've spent a load of money on it.

0:20:330:20:37

-Well done.

-Yes, indeed.

0:20:370:20:39

£117 is the most ridiculous price I've ever spent on anything in my life.

0:20:390:20:44

'Yeah, well, win or lose, that's the blues' last item bought.

0:20:440:20:48

'Meanwhile, those reds are feeling the pressure.'

0:20:480:20:51

-There it is.

-That's the one.

-That's the one.

0:20:510:20:54

-I think we need to go for it.

-'You certainly do.'

0:20:540:20:57

-Go and talk to the gentleman.

-See what you can do.

-OK.

0:20:570:21:01

Hi. We're looking at the chair.

0:21:020:21:04

-We were wondering if you could maybe do £50 for it, please?

-Ooh!

0:21:040:21:08

Well, it's up for 100. 70 and you've got a deal.

0:21:080:21:12

-70? Yeah, we'll take you up on the 70.

-You pleased with that?

-Yeah.

-You've had a bargain again.

0:21:120:21:17

-Three items done.

-Well done, sweetheart. >

0:21:170:21:20

-Brilliant. Super job.

-Are you happy?

-Yes. Definitely.

0:21:200:21:23

'In the nick of time, the reds made their last purchase.

0:21:230:21:27

'That's it. Shopping time is officially over.

0:21:270:21:31

'They poured £20 of their budget into the silver-plated claret jug.

0:21:320:21:37

'£22 was spent on a Poole Pottery bowl.

0:21:370:21:41

'And finally, they forked out £70 on a Victorian elbow chair.'

0:21:410:21:46

That was so disappointing, the chair had been bought.

0:21:470:21:50

-Yeah.

-The big thing is, don't burst into tears about it.

0:21:500:21:53

What did you spend in toto, Betho?

0:21:530:21:56

-We spent £112 altogether.

-£112? Is that all? Gosh.

0:21:560:22:00

-OK. I'd like £188, please.

-Yeah.

-Of leftover lolly.

0:22:000:22:07

-You got the other £3?

-There you go.

-Thank you very much.

0:22:070:22:10

We do watch out for these things. Straight over to Anita.

0:22:100:22:14

Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blue team bought?

0:22:140:22:17

'A pair of silver and cut glass wine coasters cost them £40.

0:22:180:22:23

'The brass euphonium also set them back 40 notes - mainly flat.

0:22:240:22:29

'And finally, a Burmantofts pottery baluster vase cost them £117. Wow!'

0:22:290:22:35

-I'd never heard of it. I think it's rare and valuable.

-And you're a musician!

0:22:360:22:41

They never stop talking, this lot!

0:22:410:22:43

-Anyway, how much did you pay in total for all your lots?

-£197.

0:22:430:22:48

£197. I'd like...£103 back of leftover lolly. Thank you very much.

0:22:480:22:53

-You've clearly had a stressful time, Charlie.

-I've had a wonderful time!

-Good luck with that.

0:22:530:22:58

I'm going to show you now a Victorian deception.

0:22:580:23:01

Not so much smoke and mirrors. More, perhaps, a pipe dream.

0:23:010:23:06

When is an antique an antique and a fake a fake?

0:23:120:23:16

Well, I have found us a conundrum.

0:23:160:23:20

I'll take the glass cover off

0:23:200:23:22

so that we can see what's enclosed within.

0:23:220:23:26

And if I turn it up,

0:23:260:23:28

we've got an oak case that is trying to look 17th century.

0:23:280:23:34

Crudely carved, look,

0:23:340:23:36

with the cresting, two dragons flanking a central pineapple,

0:23:360:23:41

the emblem of hospitality.

0:23:410:23:44

Then the oak case inside carved with leaves

0:23:440:23:48

in the 17th-century style.

0:23:480:23:50

Actually, it was made by a Victorian craftsman

0:23:500:23:54

in about 1860 or 1880.

0:23:540:23:57

It was to go into a gentleman's room,

0:23:570:24:00

a library or collector's space, to show off something precious.

0:24:000:24:05

So it's an oak display case

0:24:050:24:08

made in the style, at that period, of 200 years earlier.

0:24:080:24:12

So it's not a fake. It's not been made to deliberately deceive.

0:24:120:24:17

It's simply in a popular Victorian style.

0:24:170:24:20

But what of the precious object that it's enclosing?

0:24:200:24:25

Well, what we've got here is an unusually long stemmed pipe.

0:24:250:24:30

The idea being that the tobacco burns hot in the bowl

0:24:300:24:34

and the longer the stem is before it gets to your mouth,

0:24:340:24:38

the cooler the smoke is going to be.

0:24:380:24:41

And if I just tweak these brass wires that retain it,

0:24:410:24:46

and take it out of the case, we can have a close look at it.

0:24:460:24:50

It is exquisitely made.

0:24:500:24:54

Now, the person that made the case wanted you to believe

0:24:540:24:58

that this thing dated from about 1650.

0:24:580:25:02

I don't believe that that's so.

0:25:020:25:05

I think this bit of glass was produced in Nailsea,

0:25:050:25:10

somewhere like that, in about 1850,

0:25:100:25:13

to deceive you into thinking it was 200 years older.

0:25:130:25:17

It's a fake.

0:25:170:25:19

There's no extant glass pipe that survives from the 17th century

0:25:190:25:24

and I don't think they ever made glass pipes in the 17th century.

0:25:240:25:29

So, what we've got, then, is a case here that is NOT a fake -

0:25:290:25:34

it was made simply in a style at the period -

0:25:340:25:38

enclosing a glass object which definitely IS a fake,

0:25:380:25:43

and was made in about 1850 to deceive. Brilliant, isn't it?

0:25:430:25:48

What does this concoction,

0:25:480:25:50

this interesting - fascinating even - concoction cost you out there in the fair?

0:25:500:25:57

Well, it could be yours for £40.

0:25:570:25:59

Fake or fortune?

0:26:010:26:03

Colin, I can't tell you how lovely it is to be back in Grantham.

0:26:180:26:22

It's like a second home, I suppose.

0:26:220:26:24

How many years have I been coming to your saleroom? At least a decade!

0:26:240:26:28

-It is.

-The red team today have gone with the plated claret jug.

0:26:280:26:33

Which, I have to say, is the most worn-out, bashed example

0:26:330:26:36

-I think I've ever seen.

-Yeah. I think you've summarised that.

0:26:360:26:40

-It's an old one, but it's seen an awful lot of service!

-Certainly has.

0:26:400:26:44

For the most clapped-out claret jug in the western hemisphere,

0:26:440:26:47

how do you estimate that?

0:26:470:26:49

Let's hope a 25 to 40 estimate makes people look at it, rather than think, "That's a bit tired."

0:26:490:26:54

-£20 they paid.

-OK.

-Next is the Poole bowl.

0:26:540:26:59

Which is terribly white inside.

0:26:590:27:01

Yeah. A bit of fruit in there just to make it a useful object.

0:27:010:27:06

Has Poole gone off in value in the last ten years?

0:27:060:27:09

Certainly, in the last ten years there's been a change.

0:27:090:27:12

The very best 10%, prices have risen

0:27:120:27:15

and it's still a really strong and vibrant market.

0:27:150:27:18

But for anything other than that 10%

0:27:180:27:20

everything else really has slipped a little bit.

0:27:200:27:23

I take it this bowl is in the 90% bracket.

0:27:230:27:26

I'm afraid it's definitely in the 90% bracket. 25 to 40 estimate.

0:27:260:27:30

-I think it's going to be a bit of a scrape to get to that.

-£22 paid.

0:27:300:27:34

That'll be all right. They may make a small profit on each of these.

0:27:340:27:38

-Their last item is the elbow chair.

-It's had its legs chopped down.

0:27:380:27:43

Why have an inch and a half come off those legs?

0:27:430:27:46

A whole variety of reasons could have been there.

0:27:460:27:49

-To do with somebody's height?

-It could be that.

0:27:490:27:51

-You never know, could have had problems with its casters.

-Yes.

0:27:510:27:55

Could have had splitting and damage to it so they just reduced it

0:27:550:27:59

to a height that makes it look presentable.

0:27:590:28:01

It's at a presentable height, if you happen to be vertically challenged.

0:28:010:28:06

-You could nip into that and be very, very happy.

-Yeah.

0:28:060:28:09

Nip in with 40 to 60 and I'll be very happy.

0:28:090:28:13

-£70 they paid.

-OK.

-There you have it from the master's mouth.

0:28:130:28:16

We are going to struggle for the reds.

0:28:160:28:19

They're going to need their bonus buy so let's have a look at it.

0:28:190:28:22

Now, Beth, Gerry, you spent £112.

0:28:220:28:26

You gave Anita £88. What did you spend it on, Anita?

0:28:260:28:30

-Ooh.

-Oh, right!

-Interesting! ANITA GIGGLES

0:28:310:28:34

I thought I would buy a piece of quirky glass

0:28:340:28:37

and I was drawn to this.

0:28:370:28:40

It's a little inkwell made up of all these little joined-up balls.

0:28:400:28:45

We can see the little lid here.

0:28:450:28:47

It reminds me of, I don't know, Mickey Mouse or something!

0:28:470:28:51

I think it's very, very charming, but tell me what you think.

0:28:510:28:56

How much did you pay for it?

0:28:560:28:58

-ANITA LAUGHS

-That's a question, girl!

0:28:580:29:00

-Straight in there.

-I paid £40 for it.

0:29:000:29:03

Following on, how much do you think it will make at auction?

0:29:030:29:07

I haven't seen one before.

0:29:070:29:09

I think its novelty value will help it along.

0:29:090:29:13

But really, I'm not very sure what it will get.

0:29:130:29:16

-Is it old?

-It is old, yes. It's probably turn of the century.

0:29:160:29:20

-So it's a real antique, then?

-Yeah.

0:29:200:29:23

-Do you like it, Beth?

-I do quite like it. Yes.

0:29:230:29:26

It's quirky, which I like. I think that's a nice piece, actually.

0:29:260:29:30

And I like glass, so anything glass is good for me.

0:29:300:29:33

Pens, old-fashioned pens and inkwells is a collectable area.

0:29:330:29:36

-So who knows?

-Fingers crossed.

0:29:360:29:39

For the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little inkwell.

0:29:390:29:44

There you go, Colin, one spherical inkwell.

0:29:450:29:48

That's an interesting lot. I've not come across one of those before.

0:29:480:29:52

CHUCKLING: I don't know what to make of it.

0:29:520:29:54

It's got some age. Look at the fittings. It's probably Edwardian.

0:29:540:29:58

I feel there should be another one.

0:29:580:30:00

-You've got blue ink in one, red ink in another.

-Yeah.

0:30:000:30:04

-It feels like a desk set to me.

-Yeah.

0:30:040:30:06

You might have a glass roller. We've got one bit that's left over.

0:30:060:30:10

-I think that's highly likely.

-What's your very, very best estimate?

0:30:100:30:14

I've put a very bold 25 to 40, not based on comparables -

0:30:140:30:18

-because I couldn't find any.

-Fair enough. Anita paid 40.

-OK.

0:30:180:30:23

She rates it. Who knows? She might be right.

0:30:230:30:25

That's it for the reds. Now for the blues. They've got a mixture!

0:30:250:30:29

-First up are these sterling silver mounted moulded glass dishes.

-Yeah.

0:30:290:30:35

Not the greatest combination.

0:30:350:30:37

The quality of the moulding is fairly poor.

0:30:370:30:40

Again, the silver work on the top looks a little bit beaten

0:30:400:30:43

and a lot of rubbing on the beading.

0:30:430:30:46

-They don't do a lot for me, it has to be said.

-How much?

0:30:460:30:49

-£30 to £50.

-OK, £40 paid.

0:30:490:30:51

-Now, next up is the euphonium.

-Mm-hm.

0:30:510:30:55

-Is it a collectable? Yes.

-Yeah.

0:30:550:30:57

I think it's more likely to be bought for decoration than being played.

0:30:570:31:02

Somebody who is in a band is going to want a good quality instrument.

0:31:020:31:07

I think this is not the sort of thing they'll be buying.

0:31:070:31:10

-50 to 80 is going to be the mark for it.

-Fantastic!

0:31:100:31:14

-They only paid £40.

-Fine.

0:31:140:31:16

-Now, your challenge is going to be the last item.

-Right.

0:31:160:31:19

The Burmantofts studio pottery pot.

0:31:190:31:22

-Do you like it?

-I do like it. What's going to be the challenge?

0:31:220:31:25

Making the right amount of money cos they pushed the boat out.

0:31:250:31:30

It is the type of pottery that I like.

0:31:300:31:32

Good texture on it. I do like the colouring on it.

0:31:320:31:35

-I can't be that negative about it.

-Good.

-I like the thing.

0:31:350:31:39

-£50 to £80 is going to be the mark for it.

-You don't like it enough.

-Do I not? Oh, dear.

0:31:390:31:45

-You have to like it £117 much!

-Right.

0:31:450:31:49

I'm not going to say never. There's the possibility for that.

0:31:490:31:52

-Burmantofts collectors are on the rise, I've noticed.

-Yeah.

0:31:520:31:57

-Definitely the case.

-It will depend on your performance

0:31:570:32:00

strictly on this Burmantofts pot.

0:32:000:32:04

If you crack it, they're not going to need their bonus buy.

0:32:040:32:08

If you fail, they certainly will.

0:32:080:32:10

And I've a funny feeling they're going to need their bonus buy.

0:32:100:32:14

Tom and Richard, this is exciting. You gave Charlie Ross £103.

0:32:140:32:19

Not a lot of people would do that, but you did.

0:32:190:32:23

-Charlie, what did you spend it on?

-I didn't spend all of it, chaps.

0:32:230:32:27

I spent £65. It's a superb, I think,

0:32:270:32:32

example of a shooting stick from the Edwardian era.

0:32:320:32:36

Bamboo, wonderful brass mounts. It's in full working order.

0:32:360:32:40

It's strong enough to support you and it cost £65.

0:32:400:32:44

-Really?

-I'd like to have bought it for £50.

0:32:440:32:47

It cost 65 and I think there's a slim profit in it.

0:32:470:32:51

-What a marvellous thing! Do you like it?

-It's fantastic.

0:32:510:32:55

-It is.

-In good condition.

-It's super condition.

0:32:550:32:58

-When you think of those boring aluminium ones with leather seats.

-And they cost as much money.

0:32:580:33:04

-That's bamboo.

-Well, I'm jiggered.

0:33:040:33:06

It's very, very nice. I'm impressed.

0:33:060:33:09

-You reckon it'll make money, Charlie?

-I'd like to see a profit, but I reckon it'll be a slim one.

0:33:090:33:14

-It's not going to make £200.

-He's not committing himself.

-No.

0:33:140:33:18

I think it could make £75, £80. It might make £100.

0:33:180:33:22

-We're very impressed. We like it.

-I like the finish.

0:33:220:33:25

-Happy with that?

-Very, very happy.

-Thanks, Charlie.

0:33:250:33:28

Why don't we, for the audience at home,

0:33:280:33:31

find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charlie's shooting stick?

0:33:310:33:34

-Tally-ho!

-OK.

-Look at that in bamboo!

0:33:350:33:39

-Isn't that a good example?

-That IS a good example.

0:33:390:33:42

-And in such good nick!

-Action's nice and clean as well.

0:33:420:33:47

It's a good thing. Very rare to find one in such good condition.

0:33:470:33:51

When they're in poor condition, an average, sort of £25 to £40.

0:33:510:33:55

I think we'll stick with that as an estimate, 25 to 40.

0:33:550:33:59

Then people know and go just that little bit further

0:33:590:34:03

because it is a very good example.

0:34:030:34:05

-Will they go as far as £65?

-They might do, with a push.

0:34:050:34:08

-Might they?

-Yeah.

-Charlie Ross rates it and who knows, it might get that.

0:34:080:34:12

-Anyway, good luck today.

-Thank you.

-Thank YOU.

0:34:120:34:15

Beth and Gerry, this is exciting.

0:34:250:34:27

We've got a crowded saleroom, an excellent auctioneer and some stylish gear from you.

0:34:270:34:32

-How excited are you, Beth?

-Very. It's my first auction.

0:34:320:34:36

-You've never been to an auction?

-No.

-How marvellous!

0:34:360:34:39

-Me, too.

-You, too?

-I've never been to one.

0:34:390:34:41

-What have you done all your long life?

-What a wasted life!

0:34:410:34:45

Let's hope it's a memorable experience.

0:34:450:34:48

First up is the claret jug.

0:34:480:34:50

-Here it comes.

-Lot number 182.

0:34:500:34:53

A silver-plated claret jug. Who's going to start me at £50?

0:34:530:34:56

50? £50 anybody? 30 to go, then?

0:34:560:34:58

£30 anybody?

0:34:580:35:00

20, if you like. Surely £20? Ten? Ten bid...

0:35:000:35:04

-We're off.

-Off and running.

0:35:040:35:07

..12 anywhere, do I see? 12 bid. The excitement continues. 15 bid.

0:35:070:35:11

18 now? Going this time, then. Second row has it at £15...

0:35:110:35:15

-Minus £5.

-That's not too bad.

-OK, now the Delphis.

0:35:150:35:19

A really big fruit bowl this one. £30 anybody? £30?

0:35:190:35:24

Thank you. 30. It's a size and a half this one. 30 bid.

0:35:240:35:27

32 now, do I see? At 30 bid. Two now, surely. At £30 bid.

0:35:270:35:32

-Selling to a maiden bid, then, at £30...

-Well done.

0:35:320:35:35

That's plus £8. Which means, overall, you're plus £3. Ooh!

0:35:350:35:39

-We're in profit!

-Yeah. Now the elbow chair. Look out!

0:35:390:35:43

A Victorian elbow chair. Really nice studded leather panel work. 100?

0:35:430:35:49

50 to go then, surely? 50? 40, if you like.

0:35:490:35:51

- £40? 40. - That's not looking good, is it?

0:35:510:35:55

I'll take 20 to go, then...

0:35:550:35:58

-20?

-That's SO cheap!

-..Look at what we're selling here!

0:35:580:36:01

Is there two? You know you need it, sir. Two. Five bid. 28 now...

0:36:010:36:06

More, more, more!

0:36:060:36:08

..The last call, then. Done and finished at £28.

0:36:080:36:11

Two off 30.

0:36:110:36:14

That's minus 42. And you had three, so that is now minus £39.

0:36:140:36:20

-Oh, dear.

-You've got to double the profit on the inkwell.

-Be careful.

0:36:200:36:24

Minus 39. Going to go with the bonus buy, the inkwell?

0:36:240:36:28

-I think yes. Yeah, we'll go with it.

-Yes?

-Yeah, definitely.

0:36:280:36:31

Lot number 188

0:36:310:36:33

is an early 20th-century novelty crystal inkwell

0:36:330:36:36

in the form of stacked cannonballs.

0:36:360:36:39

Who's going to start me at £50?

0:36:390:36:41

30 to go, then, surely? £30 anybody? 20, if you like. £20 anybody?

0:36:410:36:46

Ten, if you like. A very unusual lot, if you're into militaria.

0:36:460:36:50

£10 I'm bid. Ten bid. 12 anywhere? 12. 12 bid. 15?

0:36:500:36:54

15. 18. Gentleman's bid. £20, surely? 20 bid. 22 now? 22. 25?

0:36:540:36:59

No? At 22. The bid's at the back for the cannonballs.

0:36:590:37:02

-Oh, dear.

-Those about to bid, we salute you.

0:37:020:37:05

All done, are we, then? Selling in the room at £22.

0:37:050:37:09

-That is minus £57.

-Oh, dear.

-Oh, well.

0:37:090:37:12

-Say it quick, doesn't sound a lot.

-Quite. It could be a winning score.

0:37:120:37:17

You could still be victors, if you play your cards right.

0:37:170:37:21

LAUGHTER

0:37:210:37:22

-So, Tom, how is it with you?

-Good. Very excited.

0:37:350:37:38

Intrigued to see how it goes down.

0:37:380:37:40

I have to say that the father's a bit nervous.

0:37:400:37:44

-I'm nervous about one item.

-Which one's that?

-The vase.

0:37:440:37:47

-The Burmantofts vase?

-Yeah.

0:37:470:37:49

If all else fails, you've got the shooting stick to fall back on.

0:37:490:37:53

-Actually, to sit on.

-LAUGHTER

0:37:530:37:55

First up are the coasters or ashtrays with the American mounts.

0:37:550:37:59

Lot number 204

0:37:590:38:01

is the pair of American sterling silver and cut glass wine coasters.

0:38:010:38:05

Start me at £50 for them. 30 to go, then?

0:38:050:38:07

20 to go, then, surely? At 20. Ten, if you like.

0:38:070:38:10

Ten do I see? 12 anywhere else? At £10 bid...

0:38:100:38:13

Oh, matron!

0:38:130:38:15

..Second row has it at 12. 15? 15 bid. 18 bid. 20 bid...

0:38:150:38:19

-We're going up a bit.

-Sssh!

0:38:190:38:22

..22 bid. Five, may I say? 22, are we all done and finished?

0:38:220:38:25

Going, then, at £22...

0:38:250:38:27

Minus £18. That's a wicked stab in the back.

0:38:270:38:32

205 is the euphonium this time. Who's going to start me at £80?

0:38:330:38:38

50 to go, then, surely? 50? 40, if you like.

0:38:380:38:41

£40, anyone? £40, anyone? 40?

0:38:410:38:44

Surely £40? There's a lot of brass there.

0:38:440:38:47

30 to go, then? 30? £30, anybody?

0:38:470:38:49

30?

0:38:490:38:51

£20, anyone? Lady's bid at 20. 22. 25. Five bid now.

0:38:510:38:55

Five. Let's get on. 25. 28? No...?

0:38:550:38:58

-Oh, these are our bankers, Tom.

-Eh?

-This were our bankers!

-I know!

0:38:580:39:02

I can't believe this!

0:39:020:39:04

..It's your bid at 25. Do I see 28? At 25.

0:39:040:39:07

28, do I see? Going at £25...

0:39:070:39:10

-Minus £15.

-I thought that was a cert. 40 quid!

-Dead cert that was!

0:39:120:39:16

-Stand by for Burmantofts.

-Really looking forward to this(!)

0:39:160:39:20

A Burmantofts pottery baluster vase. Who's going to start me at £50?

0:39:200:39:25

- Oh, God! - 50? Low enough start. 40 to go?

0:39:250:39:28

£40, anybody? 40? £40? 30, if you like.

0:39:280:39:32

£30 bid. At 30 bid. Two do I see? And two?

0:39:320:39:35

At 30 bid. Two do I see? Two bid. Five bid. 38. 40?

0:39:350:39:38

At £40 I'm bid. Two now, may I say? 42.

0:39:380:39:41

At 42. 45? 45 bid. 48 now? Go on. Have another one...

0:39:410:39:45

LAUGHING: We paid 117 for it!

0:39:450:39:47

..At £45.

0:39:470:39:50

You are overall down a stonking tube with a stonking bad result.

0:39:500:39:55

-What are we doing about the bonus buy?

-We're going for it. Trust him with our life.

0:39:550:39:59

-LAUGHING:

-Trust him with your life!

0:39:590:40:02

-Yes. Did you trust him with a Burmantofts?

-Yes!

0:40:020:40:06

-It was his recommendation.

-Well, he's much better on shooting sticks!

0:40:060:40:10

No, seriously, it hasn't been your day today,

0:40:100:40:13

so let us hope that this stick sticks it to them.

0:40:130:40:17

Early 20th-century shooting stick.

0:40:170:40:19

Bamboo shaft, very good order. Who's going to start me at £50?

0:40:190:40:23

50? 40 to go, then? £40, anybody? 40?

0:40:230:40:26

- 30 to go, then? £30 I'm bid... - It's the wrong audience!

0:40:260:40:30

..32. 35. 38 bid. 40? 40 bid.

0:40:300:40:33

42? Two bid. 45? 45. 48, may I say? 48 if you wish? 48 bid.

0:40:330:40:38

-50? £50 I'm bid. 50. Five...?

-Nearly.

0:40:380:40:41

..Do I see five?

0:40:410:40:43

At 50 bid. Two or not now? Selling in the front row at £50.

0:40:430:40:48

-£120 worth...

-How much did we spend?

-..of losses. Not much!

0:40:480:40:53

-Only spent £197!

-You spent 197 plus 65.

0:40:530:40:57

-So it's perfectly respectable.

-Is it?

-It's a disaster!

0:40:570:41:01

-Could be a winning score!

-Listen. This is not, believe me, this is not a disaster.

-Isn't it?

-No.

0:41:010:41:07

-LAUGHTER

-This is an average performance.

0:41:070:41:09

Don't say a word to the reds because, seriously, £120 could be a winning score today.

0:41:090:41:15

With blood baths of this scale, anything could happen.

0:41:150:41:18

-It's war out there!

-It's war out there!

0:41:180:41:20

Well, some days is good days and some days is bad days and today happens to be a very, very bad day.

0:41:330:41:39

It isn't so often that each team and each bonus buy

0:41:390:41:43

turns out with a minus score next door to it.

0:41:430:41:47

That is what has happened today, ladies and gentlemen,

0:41:470:41:51

with the exception of one team, which did make an £8 profit.

0:41:510:41:55

But that was wiped out by the tidal wave of losses elsewhere.

0:41:550:41:59

So, universally, nobody has done particularly well.

0:41:590:42:02

It's just a question of scale,

0:42:020:42:04

and the team with the largest losses today are the blues.

0:42:040:42:08

GROANS/CHEERS

0:42:080:42:10

Actually, £120 worth of losses, but let's not dwell on it.

0:42:120:42:16

-Eh?

-Let's not.

-No. Move on.

-Just move on to the positives.

0:42:160:42:20

-Did you have a nice time?

-It was the best day of my life. LAUGHTER

0:42:200:42:25

-He's had a very short life.

-Absolutely! You're terribly young.

0:42:250:42:29

I'm glad you had a nice time. Thank you for joining us.

0:42:290:42:32

-The winners, though, have won by only losing £57.

-Yay!

0:42:320:42:36

-Which is quite an achievement.

-Absolutely.

-Well done.

0:42:360:42:39

-Are you happy with that, Beth?

-Yeah.

-Hope you had a good day.

-Lovely.

0:42:390:42:43

Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

0:42:430:42:47

ALL: Yes!
