0:00:08 > 0:00:11Our teams are going to be hopping around like mad today

0:00:11 > 0:00:13in between all these antique shops,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16but the big question is, are they going to land upon a decent bargain?

0:00:16 > 0:00:20Well, I don't know. Let's go bargain hunting!

0:00:47 > 0:00:52Lewes hosts the world championship Toad in the Hole contest,

0:00:52 > 0:00:56and I'm not talking about that delicious sausage-y dish.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03This Toad in the Hole is a pub game that involves tossing a coin at a table with a hole in the middle.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08It certainly is a game of patience and precision,

0:01:08 > 0:01:15and let's hope that our teams aim high enough, and achieve those vital results later at auction.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21On today's show, both teams leave it oh so late.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24I tell you what I think - I think we've got to buy something.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Come on, girls, let's go. We've got hardly any time. OK.

0:01:29 > 0:01:31What have we got? 30 seconds?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37But rewards at the auction hit a dramatic high.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40?75, straight in.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42So stay tuned, bargain hunters.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Yes!

0:01:44 > 0:01:46First, let's meet the teams.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53Well, it's a family affair on Bargain Hunt today for the Reds.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56We've got Jane and Georgie, mother and daughter,

0:01:56 > 0:01:59and Mike and Tamsin, father and daughter for the Blues.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Hello, everyone. Hello. Lovely to see you.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, Janey, what do you do for a job of work?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm a psychotherapist for the NHS.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09It says here you like potting a ball or two.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I do. I'm a pool player.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Are you? Good for you.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16So you're now champion? I got a couple of trophies this year.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Are you very proud of your mum? Do you go watch her?

0:02:20 > 0:02:24I have been a couple of times. She's tried to drag me in, get me to play.

0:02:24 > 0:02:29I'm rubbish. But actually, you're applying to be another sort of student, aren't you?

0:02:29 > 0:02:33I am. I'm applying to go to uni to do special effects make-up.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Hopefully we'll have no call for that on Bargain Hunt today.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39OK. Good luck today on Bargain Hunt. Lovely to meet you.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44Now, Mike, you're retired, but actually, you're a man of the sea.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46I joined the Navy when I was 15.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Very naughty.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50You lied about your age. I did, I did.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52So did three other people that came with me.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56And for the first month it was... Hm!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Not quite what was on the brochures, but I stayed in for 25 years.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01It also says here you're a bit of a hoarder.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04One person's hoarder is another's avid collection -

0:03:04 > 0:03:07How many keyrings have you got? I've got 400 of those.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08OK, fine.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10What about the comics?

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yeah, yeah, well... What about the helmets?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Yeah, yeah, I suppose...

0:03:15 > 0:03:201914 and 18, medieval, all that kind of lark. I got into that a bit.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22I think we've got the message. You're not a hoarder at all.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24That's fine. Very good.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Reliable Naval officer.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29OK, fine. Now, Tams...

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Would you say you've inherited your father's collecting genes?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36I don't think anybody has those genes!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38I do like to collect a few bits.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Like what?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Vintage clothes and hats. What about the perfume bottles?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45And I do like... Yes.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47And books?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49I do like certain books.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53OK, we're getting the message. These Reds are quaking in their boots

0:03:53 > 0:03:57watching you lot not describing what you don't collect.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59There are going to be sparks, I can tell.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02OK, fine, now, ?300 apiece.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04?300, yes? ?300, girls.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10And very, very, very, very good luck. Gosh, what fun.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18He's no puppet.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Thomas Plant will be assisting the Reds.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26While helping out the Blues is the Master of Disguise, Philip Serrell.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33OK, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36What ARE we going to buy?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Good question. I know, I just asked you.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Jane, Georgie, are you ready for this? Yeah.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46The advice my wife gave me was to buy things that will sell, and make a lot of money.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49That's a good tip. Well, let's bear that in mind.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Come on.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54What about you and your tactics?

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I tend to look for quirky things, things I like, things I'd buy myself.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00What do you like? Anything that looks a bit odd.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Bit odd? Right, let's go and find odd things.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Now, if you can't find some stuff in here...

0:05:10 > 0:05:12..you won't find stuff anywhere.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Thomas, what are these?

0:05:19 > 0:05:22There's two of them. ?5 a pair.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25Let's have a look. They're little sort of scents.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29They would have pot pourri... They would have sort of a scent in them.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32They're probably Middle Eastern, and not the greatest of quality,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34but they've got a bit of age.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Only ?5? Are we going to be having a day of...

0:05:37 > 0:05:40penny pinching?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Are you a penny pincher? I'm a bit of a penny pincher. Are you?!

0:05:42 > 0:05:46These are sweet, but ?5... I think we can do better. OK.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48I think we can. No, no, that's good.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Onwards and upwards, Thomas.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58Meanwhile, the Blues are going down with Phil.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear. I think there's stuff in here that somebody might like.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06MUSIC: "Fashion" by David Bowie

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, God. Pretty much my sentiments, actually.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Amazing! Yeah, it's all of that.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14# Fashion, turn to the left

0:06:14 > 0:06:16# Fashion

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Mike, have a seat, cos I've got the distinct feeling

0:06:18 > 0:06:21that for the next few minutes you and I are going to be superfluous.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23I think you're right there, I think you're right.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25# Beep beep... #

0:06:27 > 0:06:30How long's this going to last for? It could be hours.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32It can't be because we only had an hour when we started.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Eat your heart out, Kate Moss, eh?

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, my Lord.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43HE LAUGHS

0:06:43 > 0:06:45I think it might be a big seller.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Not here.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48No?

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Bonkers, absolutely... Probably in Bangkok... Stark raving bonkers.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56OK, I'll put it back. Good idea.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03I'll look forward to it. Oh, my life.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I really like it. I actually really like it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11You look like something out of Cinderella. How much is that?

0:07:12 > 0:07:14?50. No!

0:07:15 > 0:07:19In fact, the hat was from a stand where everything is marked up half-price,

0:07:19 > 0:07:22so time for Tamsin to start haggling.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26Right, I've done my best.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28What was the best?

0:07:28 > 0:07:32They didn't want to go for ?15, but they said they'd do it for ?20.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I'm pleased. You're pleased? I'm pleased.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Oh, good, I'm glad you're pleased. I think actually, it's on my head be it.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42You look nice.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44See?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Come on, Phil, the girl did good.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50That's the first item bought, but how are those Reds getting on

0:07:50 > 0:07:52now that they're 20 minutes into the shop?

0:07:53 > 0:07:56So, Georgie, I reckon this is your thing.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Definitely. This kind of mirror here.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Shabby chic look to it. ?75.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Quite a lot of money. You won't get your money back. You're not going to get your money back on that.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10OK, fair enough, fair enough. Sorry.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13You're going to rule that one out. I am. You ruled out mine!

0:08:13 > 0:08:16I didn't rule... We haven't ruled that out yet.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Not at all. It's a grudge now.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22How about this? This is very smart.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's a little box to put one's jewellery in,

0:08:25 > 0:08:27but it's by Asprey of London.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Shall we have a look at that? Yes.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Can we have a look at something else as well?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35We've spotted that little silver one as well down at the bottom.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37Let's have a look at the Asprey one first.

0:08:37 > 0:08:41So we have the alabaster top,

0:08:41 > 0:08:44which has got these lovely striations, hasn't it,

0:08:44 > 0:08:46from the natural rock, and then this is all silver.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50It's got Asprey there, so this is a mercury-gilded silver.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53It would be silver, but it's been gilded to give it that gold look.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56You've got hallmarks just there, and it's stamped Asprey.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58What's the very best on the box?

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Best can be ?85. Oh, that's not bad.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04That's not bad. That's a good price.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Right, put that down. Let's have a look.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10You'd like ?85 for that. Shall we have a look at this one here as well?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14This is filigree, so this is silver filigree in there.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17Which is why it's silver.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Patterned to make this beautiful design.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Like that, do you? Yes. It's cute.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Victorian white metal box.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26?34. What's the best on that?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29It can be ?25. ?25...

0:09:29 > 0:09:33I like that. You like that? Do you like them both, or do you...?

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I like them. If we could do the two, that would be good.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Would ?100 buy them both? No.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41What would buy the both?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43?105.

0:09:43 > 0:09:44That's ?105, and that means you've got two lots.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48You could buy the little scents for a fiver, and you're done,

0:09:48 > 0:09:50but I would advise against it.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52No. Don't encourage her.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I think we should get them. I really like them.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59How can I refuse?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Go on. That's a good deal.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03OK. We do it?

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Go on, then.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06A deal. Thank you very much.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Two items in one shopping experience.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11That's the way I like it.

0:10:12 > 0:10:18Right. Just to make it crystal-clear, they paid ?85 for the alabaster cigarette box,

0:10:18 > 0:10:22and picked up the continental silver-coloured metal pill box for ?20.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Come on, then.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30As both teams continue to shop, take a little look at what I've just found.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34This is all rather incongruous, isn't it?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36What is this thing?

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well, at first glance...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41it's weird in appearance.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Pick it up and it's heavy.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Look at it carefully - it's got a wee mark.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49And that mark says 830S,

0:10:49 > 0:10:52which means it's hallmarked silver.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55And it was made to sit on a desk.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59This ovoid top feels extremely comfortable in your hand,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01and that's the point.

0:11:01 > 0:11:06It's split into sections, which taper, and each of those splits

0:11:06 > 0:11:08is filled with a trail of foliage.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12And that's before you get to the sealed bit at the bottom.

0:11:12 > 0:11:17This is smooth, it's never been engraved. It's simply waiting for somebody's initials,

0:11:17 > 0:11:21their cipher, or even their crest, the idea being

0:11:21 > 0:11:24you'd have this on a desk, you'd have some sealing wax,

0:11:24 > 0:11:27you'd seal an envelope with sealing wax,

0:11:27 > 0:11:32and apply your personal ID stamp or seal to the outside.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Where does it come from?

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well, the stamp 830S

0:11:38 > 0:11:42is an indication that the silver was hallmarked in Norway.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46What's it worth? Well, it could be yours for ?60.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Now, would you like to see the absolute polar opposite

0:11:50 > 0:11:52in the way of silversmithing?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Also available here in Lewes.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59There she is - one little Indian cow.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04An utterly unsophisticated piece of silver -

0:12:04 > 0:12:08crude, made of low-grade silver-coloured metal.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13So low-grade it doesn't have a hallmark at all, BUT...

0:12:13 > 0:12:20utterly and completely charming, and that for me makes it as desirable as the object from Scandinavia

0:12:20 > 0:12:22that's supremely sophisticated.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26What's our little Indian fellow worth?

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Well, you could buy him today here is Lewes for ?20.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I'd milk it for all it's worth.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45These things in here, that's a box. Yes.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48It's got a Penny Red on the top of it.

0:12:48 > 0:12:53This is Tunbridge Ware, and Tunbridge Ware strangely enough is made in Tunbridge.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56If you can imagine, lots of little matchsticks, all different colours,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58and they just slice the tops off.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00They lay it round, and that was Tunbridge Ware.

0:13:00 > 0:13:0298 quid. Next?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Is that a no, then? I'll tell you what bothers me a bit.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Is that you've got half an hour gone, and one item.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11They way we're going, we're going to end up spending -

0:13:11 > 0:13:13We can always come back at the last minute.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15If we've got a last minute. If we've got a last minute.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20OK, well, perhaps we'll come back if we're in a last-minute panic.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23But thanks for pointing it out. No, my pleasure.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I think I'm in a last-minute panic, really.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Phil's right - with half the shopping time gone

0:13:29 > 0:13:31the Blues need to make some decisions.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Meanwhile, what has Thomas found here?

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Variation on boxes...

0:13:41 > 0:13:43What do you think of that one there?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46A continental... Oh, look, it's got a name on it.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Can't even pronounce that.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50ATTEMPTS PRONUNCIATION

0:13:50 > 0:13:52This is Felix Diller.

0:13:52 > 0:13:54From Barmen.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57And it's a painted chest. Do you like that?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00I like it.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03It's complete silence from Jane. It's quite damaged on top.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06That's the charm.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's charm!

0:14:08 > 0:14:11I quite like that. I like these sort of...yellows.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15Very fashionable, very cool, and this red here...

0:14:15 > 0:14:17No? Just as a variation.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20You want to spend some money? I do, but on something that...

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Right, OK. It just doesn't float my boat.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25Doesn't float your boat? OK, carry on.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I quite like that.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36We're now 40 minutes into the shop.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Blues, you seriously need to start buying more items.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41It's a stamp viewer. Little concertina...

0:14:41 > 0:14:46So you'd look at your stamp like that. So, is it old?

0:14:46 > 0:14:51It doesn't look like it's too old to me. It's probably...'50s.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55What do you reckon? You look positively underwhelmed.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57I am positively underwhelmed. I quite like it.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's neat.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01I don't think many people would get that.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03No. No.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05That's a no, then? That's a no.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07That's very kind.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09That accordion... What about it?

0:15:18 > 0:15:20A walnut demi loom cabinet.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Very practical for one's drinks.

0:15:23 > 0:15:251930s.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27What do you like about it?

0:15:28 > 0:15:33I like the shape of it, and I like the simplicity with this little detail on the front.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37It's classy as well. Yeah, it's a good-looking thing.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41You can't like it, can you? It's against all the things you like.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43It's boring. OK, OK.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46?125. Do you know what that is at auction?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48?50 to ?80. Back of the net.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51There we are. That's just decided that, then.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01What do you think about that hydraulic... Hydrometer.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06They measure alcohol, don't they? Specific value of alcohol.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09They're interesting things, and they make between 20 and 40 quid.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13OK. But we have got to buy something.

0:16:13 > 0:16:15I like that, but I also like that little thing you found.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17What little thing? Oh, this one over here.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Let's show Phil. Hear what he thinks about this.

0:16:20 > 0:16:26That little lady's compact? I would see that making ?10, something like that.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Oh, well, that's that then.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31I'll tell you what I think - I think we've got to buy something.

0:16:31 > 0:16:37I am beginning to think that we're going to go and see Mr Tim Wonnacott very shortly with a top hat.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41That cost 20 quid. Let's go for that eye glass for 15 quid, then.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43That's a bit of a U-turn, Mike.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47At least we've got a fallback there anyway, haven't we?

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Two fallbacks now. Are you saying you've bought that?

0:16:49 > 0:16:53I bought that one. You bought the little eyeglass stamp thing for ?15.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57So we've got 35 quid spent, and 15 minutes left.

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Yes.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Right. We can do it. OK.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02We can do it. We can do this.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05Can we? We haven't got any option, really.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09Good. At last the Blues buy item number two.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Come on, girls, let's go. We've got hardly any time.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15OK. Next shop.

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Come have a look.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20And it seems Thomas and the Red Team are feeling the pressure too.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Anything here?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Do nutcrackers tend to sell?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28They're grape scissors. Grape scissors?

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Oh. I quite like it.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33Some sort of plate, is it? Yeah, yeah.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35If that was silver, you could sell it with knobs on.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38You could, couldn't you? Which do you like the best?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40You've got to buy something.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43The clock is ticking.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45I think it's ticked, actually.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47You've got to buy something.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Why don't we give that a whirl,

0:17:49 > 0:17:51and try and see what we get this for?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Especially as they're priced at ?39.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55You're going to see if you can have a deal? Definitely.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59I'll see if I can get him down? OK.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Well, that was ever a close-run thing that, wasn't it?

0:18:02 > 0:18:03Dear me.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05There's no decision like indecision.

0:18:12 > 0:18:16Now, with your sense of flamboyancy, your drama,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18your sense of class...

0:18:21 > 0:18:23..a ceiling light, a lantern.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Look at that blue. Continental, so you've got everything there, and you've got colour,

0:18:28 > 0:18:31you've got vibrancy, you've got pizzazz and wow.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33?110.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36A witch's ball lamp, so you could put a light in there,

0:18:36 > 0:18:41and it would look fabulous, or you just hang it in the hallway, and let the light catch it.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I really like that. I thought you'd love that.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45It's just your type of thing, isn't it?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Definitely. It's still classy for me.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51It's still got some real class about it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56It's so decorative. Shall we see what we can do on that price? Yes.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Hello. What's the best price on that, please?

0:18:59 > 0:19:01?95.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04?85...?

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Have we got a nod at ?85? ?85's fine.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08?85.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11What do you think? Third and final?

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Go on. Is it done? It's done.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15You've got a deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18We'll have that for ?85. Well done. I think you're done.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21Three items. That third item took some time.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25It was worth it. Hopefully. I think so.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I hope so. Oh, no!

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Come on. Let's go for a cup of tea.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Ooh, yes.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35The Reds have seen the light, and that's the third and final item in the bag.

0:19:37 > 0:19:42Time is running out for the Blues. Will the grape scissor set complete their haul?

0:19:42 > 0:19:48The best he can do is ?35, but I'm concerned about the box. It's a bit weather-beaten.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53So am I. The box, or yourself?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56OK. I don't think it's going to make much.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00Let me tell you something - you're not going to to lose more than 70 quid

0:20:00 > 0:20:02if you bomb on everything you bought,

0:20:02 > 0:20:05because all you spent - 70 quid.

0:20:05 > 0:20:10Look at the money you've got. We'll be looking forward to your contribution, Phil.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Let me tell you, I was looking forward to yours.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15OK, all right. We'll go for that, then.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18What have we got? 30 seconds?

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Well, hats off to the teams. Time's up.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Let's check out what the Red Team bought.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33They paid ?85 for

0:20:33 > 0:20:38an Asprey's white alabaster and silver gilt cigarette box.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42A Victorian continental, silver-coloured metal pill box

0:20:42 > 0:20:44set them back a pill-popping ?20.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51And finally, the Edwardian blue glass light shade turned them on for ?85.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55How much did you spend all round? ?190.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58?190. Who's got the ?110 of leftover lolly? I have here.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Thank you very much.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03There you go, Tom. That's a nice amount of money. ?110.

0:21:03 > 0:21:06I plan not to spend it all. But you know how you love to blow it, Tom.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08I do.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Good luck with that. Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue Team bought.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17A topping ?20 bought this vintage black silk gentleman's top hat.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24They focused ?15 of their budget on a concertina stamp magnifying glass.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30And finally, a box set of silver-plated grape scissors,

0:21:30 > 0:21:34nutcrackers, and two bone-handled picks cost them ?35.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Do you know, if I didn't have ulcers before, I've probably got them now.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44OK, Tamsin, that's enough of this giggling, love.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's time to own up. Did you have a good shop?

0:21:46 > 0:21:49We had a great shop. So give us the good news.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51How much did you spend? ?70.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54On the first item? On all three items.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56On all three items...?

0:21:56 > 0:21:57Yes.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Dear, oh dear, oh dear.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Quality pieces.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03OK!

0:22:03 > 0:22:05We wanted to give Phil a chance anyway.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08You're going to give him a chance all right. ?230 worth of chance.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Yes. That is quite a little bonus buy.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Good, good. Well, on that happy note, over to you.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16It's hats off, Phil Serrell.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19?230 worth, eh? Well, they sort of set the trend, really.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22Doesn't mean you're going to spend nothing, does it?

0:22:22 > 0:22:24Off you go, old fruit.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28Meanwhile, we're heading off to the most splendid Jacobean mansion.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Ooh-ah.

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Just a short hop from the centre of Birmingham

0:22:37 > 0:22:40lies a 17th century Jacobean wonder - Aston Hall.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47It was built by local landowner and Justice of the Peace, one Sir Thomas Holte.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49It was completed in 1635.

0:22:51 > 0:22:55As you would imagine, for a wealthy 17th Century baronet,

0:22:55 > 0:23:00he wanted the very grandest of entrance halls,

0:23:00 > 0:23:02and that's what he got.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09The Great Hall contains a delightful array of continental and English furniture

0:23:09 > 0:23:11from across the 17th Century,

0:23:15 > 0:23:19some of which was made long after Sir Thomas Holte's day.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25But the fixtures and fittings reveal more about the man who conceived Aston Hall.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31The focal point in the room, as per usual,

0:23:31 > 0:23:33is the fireplace.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Of course, this is centred by the most enormous hearth.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42What I like is that the cast-iron fireback

0:23:42 > 0:23:44respects the history of the house.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47It's cast with the initials WH for William Holte,

0:23:47 > 0:23:54and because Holte in Old English means woodland or grove,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57it's appropriate that the family symbol

0:23:57 > 0:24:01the squirrel is also included in that cast back,

0:24:01 > 0:24:03which is rather nice.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06But to appreciate the fireplace fully

0:24:06 > 0:24:12you have to stand back, because that way you get this extraordinary stone overmantle.

0:24:12 > 0:24:20Here the thing is truly architectural. It fits beautifully with the stone overdoors.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24BUT this one acts as a frame for a stone plaque

0:24:24 > 0:24:26that's been engraved with a message.

0:24:27 > 0:24:32Most people, if they were greeting their visitors at the front door,

0:24:32 > 0:24:36in a grand entrance hall, would not have a message that says this -

0:24:36 > 0:24:38effectively, a message to the staff.

0:24:40 > 0:24:45He's saying, "If service be thy meane to thrive..."

0:24:45 > 0:24:49In other words, if you want to be a servant, and get on,

0:24:49 > 0:24:52"..thou must therein remaine

0:24:52 > 0:24:55both silent faithfull just and true

0:24:55 > 0:24:58content to take some pain."

0:24:59 > 0:25:01I mean, how weird is that?!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04In the front hall, where you're welcoming your guests.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Very strange.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12As a Knight of the Realm, and former Sheriff of Warwickshire,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Sir Thomas Holte was a pillar of the establishment.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18But this rather mean-spirited warning to his servants

0:25:18 > 0:25:22may reveal a dark secret held by Sir Thomas.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25In December 1605,

0:25:25 > 0:25:29he was accused of killing his cook,

0:25:29 > 0:25:34and he killed him by splitting open his head with a meat cleaver.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38He hit him so hard in the middle of his head, that his head - poor old cookie -

0:25:38 > 0:25:41fell in two parts on his shoulders.

0:25:42 > 0:25:49This was apparently hushed up a bit, but one neighbour - a person called Ascrick -

0:25:49 > 0:25:53went about telling the tale of this murder, and he got sued by Sir Thomas,

0:25:53 > 0:25:58and the Court held that Sir Thomas didn't do it, and awarded damages

0:25:58 > 0:26:01of ?30 against Ascrick.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06Except, later, Ascrick appealed against this decision,

0:26:06 > 0:26:11and he won, and ultimately Sir Thomas only got punitive damages

0:26:11 > 0:26:17of one penny, insinuating that Thomas Holte did in fact do it.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22But as they never buried the cook, and nobody can remember what the cook's name is,

0:26:22 > 0:26:25personally I think it's a bit of a tall tale.

0:26:25 > 0:26:29The big question today, of course, over at the auction -

0:26:29 > 0:26:33what sort of a tale are we about to encounter with our teams?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35No murder, I hope.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40?32, ?35, ?48...

0:26:41 > 0:26:43At ?42 only, all done and selling.

0:26:45 > 0:26:49Well, Paul Achilleous is the auctioneer of the moment for us today

0:26:49 > 0:26:52at the Eastbourne Auction Rooms,

0:26:52 > 0:26:54and how very nice it is to be here, Paul. Hello.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Hello, Tim. Nice to have you here.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Well, we've got a spectacular first item for the Reds,

0:26:59 > 0:27:03which is the Asprey's silver gilt-mounted onyx box.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05That's pretty precious, isn't it? Nice example.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08The gilding on the hinge is still all there, so nice.

0:27:08 > 0:27:13Nice thing. How much? Could do quite well. We've estimated it at ?80 to ?120.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17Quite right too. ?85 they paid, and I think that's inexpensive.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Good. Now, next is the little filigree box.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23How do you rate that?

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Nice quality one, there, even though it's possibly continental.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Slight bit of a damage to the bottom there.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32It's got a good weight to it. The estimate? On that one is ?20 to ?30.

0:27:32 > 0:27:37OK. ?20 they paid, but do you not see that maybe making ?40 or ?60? Maybe.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's got good weight, so it could do quite well. It's nice quality.

0:27:40 > 0:27:44Talking about quality, how do you rate this hideous...I mean, this lovely blue thing

0:27:44 > 0:27:46hanging beside me?

0:27:46 > 0:27:48Um, it's...

0:27:48 > 0:27:50quite a decorative item, isn't it?

0:27:50 > 0:27:53Lighting is very popular if it's of the right design.

0:27:53 > 0:27:58It would send you green, though, wouldn't it, if it had a lightbulb in it, and you had it in your hall?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00Certainly would. It's not the best quality piece.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04It's got a look about it, hasn't it? Sort of brand-new look to me.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I mean, if you look at the quality of these stones,

0:28:07 > 0:28:11the way they've been mounted like that, it came out of a Christmas cracker, didn't it?

0:28:11 > 0:28:14I think you're being cruel, Tim. Oh, do you? I don't think so.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18What's your estimate? We've applied a pre-sale estimate of ?40 to ?60 on it.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21Told you so. ?85 they paid.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24And you could be struggling with a ?10 bid on this, I reckon.

0:28:24 > 0:28:30You never know. I hope not, but I fancy it's going to be difficult to make ?85 of, anyway.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32And on that basis, they'll need their bonus buy,

0:28:32 > 0:28:35so let's go and have a look at it.

0:28:35 > 0:28:39OK, Jane, Georgie, this is your moment. You spent ?190, which is magnificent.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41You gave ?110 to Tom,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44who's known for going out and blowing the lot, so...

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Tom, what have you bought?

0:28:46 > 0:28:53Well, I reflected your personality, and your colours, and your choices you made,

0:28:53 > 0:28:55and I saw this fabulous jardiniere.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59What do you think of that? Don't you think that is THE most vile thing you've ever seen?

0:28:59 > 0:29:01No... Tom!

0:29:01 > 0:29:05You can't say it's vile! There are collectors of this stuff that watch the show.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08Well, it is so bright, isn't it?

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Don't adjust your set, that's all I can say, at home. Absolutely.

0:29:11 > 0:29:18It's by Burleigh Ware, so a really good, 20th Century British potter.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Fabulous, 1920s... Have a look.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23A 20th Century British potter on drugs, right?

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Abs... You wouldn't want a hangover looking at this.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28No. I really like it.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31I thought you would, because you're into your bright colours.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33It's zany, isn't it? It is.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36OK, Tom, you'd better tell us what you paid.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38?15. How much? Wow!

0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now I love it. Now I'm loving it. I'm definitely loving it.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Happy, girls? Very.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Brilliant. Well done. We're liking what we see, Tom.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49Now, though, let's find out whether the auctioneer

0:29:49 > 0:29:51is quite so enthusiastic about our dignified jardiniere.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57So, we give the man ?110, and he brings us back that.

0:29:57 > 0:29:59Oh, dear. Pretty cool, isn't it?

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Very nice. Is that your favourite? No.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04How do you rate it, then?

0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's not the sort of thing that I would buy, Tim, but there are people that like lusterware.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10It's a jardiniere, so a useful piece.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13So think hard - push up the estimate as far as you can go.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17What number do you come up with? ?20 to ?30 with a strong wind.

0:30:17 > 0:30:22OK, well, let's hope it's gale force, because Tom Plant paid ?15 for it.

0:30:22 > 0:30:28He really rates it. That's it for the Reds. Now for the rather eccentric Blues.

0:30:28 > 0:30:30Their first item is the silk top hat.

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Looks like it's been to Ascot many times, Tim.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36Yeah. Plenty of wear on it. Not the best example we've ever seen, I'm afraid.

0:30:36 > 0:30:40Would you want to wear that out to a smart do in that condition?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43Um, only if I was going out in fancy dress, I'm afraid.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47Well, you're quite right. The condition is very poor.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50So what's your estimate, Paul? Being generous at ?10 to ?20.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54OK, ?20 paid, so that may be a non-starter.

0:30:54 > 0:31:01Um, next is that telescopic stamp magnifier, which is quite a handy gadget if you're a philatelist.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04Yes, it's useful for counting the perforations.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07Useful thing. Got some collectible appeal. How much?

0:31:07 > 0:31:10?10 to ?20 is our estimate on this one.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13?15 paid, so we're slightly light with that.

0:31:13 > 0:31:18And lastly, the piece of kit that you cannot afford to be without

0:31:18 > 0:31:24in the 21st Century, which is your nutcracks, nut picks, and grape scissors.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26That takes you back. It certainly does.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Um, it's a bit of a marriage, this one. It's been put together.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32I don't think the scissors are part of the original set there.

0:31:32 > 0:31:36But it is what it is, and we've applied a pre-sale estimate of ?20 to ?30.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38?35 paid.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42OK, I fancy there are going to be some problems, so let's have a look at the bonus buy.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well, this is wide open, isn't it?

0:31:45 > 0:31:50Only spending ?70, and giving Philip Serrell ?230 of leftover lolly.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I don't know, Phil. What have you found? I failed miserably.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55I love what I bought.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59I bought a little autograph book. Oh, OK. Oh, you did?

0:31:59 > 0:32:03It's 1920s. It's got all sorts of little amateur drawings.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06I just think that... Have a look. I just love that.

0:32:06 > 0:32:08It cost me the princely sum of ?20.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10That's very good, isn't it?

0:32:10 > 0:32:13These would have been, you know...

0:32:13 > 0:32:17Between the wars, done by the next-door neighbour, or whoever was the talented amateur.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20But I just think they're all lovely, and they tell a story. I like it.

0:32:20 > 0:32:23I do think it's a good deal for ?20.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25What did you do with the rest of the money, then?

0:32:25 > 0:32:27It's in my back pocket.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30Oh, no, it isn't. Comes back to us, thank you very much.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32OK, so happy about that? Yes.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34Pleased. Yes.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38For the audience at home, let's find out whether the auctioneer thinks you'll double your money.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40So, there we go. Nice album, look.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45Full of the most charming, charming autographs and illustrations.

0:32:45 > 0:32:50Certainly is. Are you finding there's increasing interest in First World War -

0:32:50 > 0:32:54Very much so, and we're quite hopeful for this. How much?

0:32:54 > 0:32:59Well, we put ?20 to ?30, but I think that's a little light. It could do quite well.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02They're very popular at the moment. What's quite well? ?50?

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Yes, we're hoping for ?50 or ?60.

0:33:04 > 0:33:08Brilliant. Well, Philip Serrell cunningly paid ?20.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10Let's hope that the team go with it.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14Anyway, we'll find out in a minute, yes? We certainly will. Certainly will.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Fair warning, at ?120, room has it again.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20At ?120...

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Georgie, Jane, happy?

0:33:23 > 0:33:25Excited? Yes. Nervous. Good, isn't it?

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Look at all these people here. Marvellous.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Right, then, first up is your Asprey's box.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32This is the business.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36Lot number 138, the Asprey's white onyx cigarette box there

0:33:36 > 0:33:40with the malachite mount, and double conflicting bids here.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42We're straight in here at ?130.

0:33:42 > 0:33:44Yes! Not so bad.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46You paid...

0:33:46 > 0:33:48At ?130, sounds cheap to me.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Good quality box this, at ?130.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53The Asprey mark as well, at ?130.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'll take ?40 elsewhere. At ?130 only.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Who'll bid me ?40?

0:33:57 > 0:34:00At ?130, then? Are we all done at ?130?

0:34:00 > 0:34:02?130. That's marvellous.

0:34:02 > 0:34:04That is plus ?45.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07This never happens.

0:34:07 > 0:34:09Now, look out - here comes your filigree box.

0:34:09 > 0:34:11The Victorian continental

0:34:11 > 0:34:14oval silver-coloured metal filigree box there.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16We're straight in here at ?20.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18At ?20. It should make more.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21At ?20 only. At ?20 and ?2. Bid ?5.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24?8 is it? At ?25. Still on commission at ?25.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26I'll take ?8 now. ?28 on the Net.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28At ?28. Take ?30 from you.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32At ?28, then. Are we all done? I'm letting it go at this bid, then.

0:34:32 > 0:34:34?28. It's a profit.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37That's plus ?8. Thank you very much.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39Now, your light shade...

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Plus ?53 you've got to lose.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Lot number 140 - the globular blue glass ceiling light

0:34:46 > 0:34:48and shade with gilded and jewel decoration,

0:34:48 > 0:34:50metal mounts, and hanging chain.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26?310 is bid.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29At ?310. Internet bidding at ?310.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31It's that Middle Eastern look we're going for.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34I always thought it was a good thing.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37At ?330. ?330's bid.

0:35:37 > 0:35:39At ?330.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41?350 bid.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51At ?360 only. Thomas is a genius.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53I'm a genius.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Is there ?70 elsewhere now?

0:35:55 > 0:35:59At ?360. Make no mistake. We're selling this at ?360 on the Net.

0:35:59 > 0:36:01?360. Oh, my God.

0:36:01 > 0:36:03?360...

0:36:03 > 0:36:05Yes!

0:36:05 > 0:36:08?360, ?360!

0:36:09 > 0:36:11This is just so extraordinary.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14?85... That's ?360.

0:36:14 > 0:36:19That is phenomenal. ?275 profit!

0:36:19 > 0:36:22On that wretched lamp. Well done, girls.

0:36:22 > 0:36:27Show's what I know. Anyway, plus the ?53 profit which you had before,

0:36:27 > 0:36:29takes you to ?328.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31Wow. Which is...

0:36:31 > 0:36:34That is phenomenal. I told you to have faith in my lamp.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36So, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?

0:36:36 > 0:36:39You have this phenomenal profit. Are you going to go with the pot?

0:36:39 > 0:36:41We trust Tom. Yes. And it's ?15, isn't it?

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Yes. Going to do it? Yes.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46OK, we're going with the Burleigh Ware, and here it comes.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50We're straight in here at ?15.

0:36:50 > 0:36:53?18, ?20. ?2, sir. ?22.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55Here it goes. Add ?2.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57?8, ?30...

0:36:58 > 0:37:00?32? ?30 here.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03?32 new place. ?35, madam. ?38, sir.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Gentleman at the back, then, at ?38.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07We're all done at ?38.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10That is plus ?23. Well done, Tom. Super.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14That gives you a grand total of ?351,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16which means we have to go to the cash machine.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Don't say a word to the Blues, right?

0:37:18 > 0:37:21No. Absolutely not. Well done.

0:37:29 > 0:37:31Right, now, Mike, Tamsin, do you know how the Reds got on?

0:37:31 > 0:37:33No. You won't want to know.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35OK, fine.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Now, the silk top hat...

0:37:37 > 0:37:41?20 you paid for that. It's a seriously tatty example.

0:37:41 > 0:37:45According to the auctioneer. I know you love it. He's put ?10 to ?20 on it.

0:37:45 > 0:37:48Anyway, first one up is the tatty silk hat. Here it comes.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Due to conflicting bids, we start this at ?15.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55I'll take ?18 from you. At ?18, and ?20 with me.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57At ?20. I'll take ?2 again.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00Do you want ?2 on the Net? On the phone I'm bid ?22.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03I'll take ?5 now. At ?22, ?25, ?28...

0:38:04 > 0:38:06?28, and ?30 may I say?

0:38:06 > 0:38:08?30, and ?2...

0:38:08 > 0:38:10?32, ?35... No, ?32 it is here.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12?35... I was looking for you guys.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14At ?35, ?38...

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Keep going. ?38, ?40.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19?38 is bid. Go ?40.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21At ?38 it's over here on the telephone.

0:38:21 > 0:38:26I'll go ?40? Yes? No? At ?38. Telephone has it, then, at ?38.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28It's plus ?18. Well done, kids.

0:38:28 > 0:38:31Now, the magnifying glass.

0:38:31 > 0:38:33Again we start on commission here at ?10.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35I'll take ?12 from you.

0:38:35 > 0:38:37At ?10 only. Come on.

0:38:37 > 0:38:38?12 bid. ?15.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42?18 if you like. At ?15. It's still on commission at ?15.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45I'll take ?18 from you. At ?15 only.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47?18 bid on the Internet now.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50At ?18 Internet. I'll take ?20 again.

0:38:50 > 0:38:53At ?18 then. Internet bidder has it, then, at ?18.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55Anyone else, then? Are we all done?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58?3. There's nothing the matter with that. You're plus ?21, kids.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Next, the grape scissors.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02Etcetera.

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Due to conflicting bids, we're straight in here at ?20.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06At ?22, ?25, ?28...

0:39:06 > 0:39:09?32, ?35...

0:39:09 > 0:39:11?38. ?40 on the Net already.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14At ?40. ?2 do I see? ?42, ?45.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16?48, ?50.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18?5... ?50 has it on the Internet now.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21At ?50. Internet bidding at ?50.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24All done, and selling...

0:39:24 > 0:39:26You made a profit on all three items. You had ?21.

0:39:26 > 0:39:28?31... You have plus ?36.

0:39:28 > 0:39:35I take it all back. This team spent ?70, and they make ?36 profit.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38On ?70 that is quite an achievement, so well done.

0:39:38 > 0:39:41Surprised me. Well done, kids.

0:39:41 > 0:39:44Now, you've got an autograph album. Are you going to go with that?

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Yes. Let's go.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51OK, coming up next, the bonus buy which you're going with, is the autograph album.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55And my commission doubled here at ?75.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Straight in at ?75. I'll take ?80.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01At ?75. ?80 I'm out.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03At ?80.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07At ?80, then. The gavel's up on this bid then at ?80.

0:40:07 > 0:40:08?5, ?90.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10It's going on.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Very late on the Internet there.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15Bid up quickly if you want it. At ?90 it's still in the room, then.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18You're out on the Net, make no mistake. ?95. ?100 rounds it off.

0:40:18 > 0:40:20At ?100. I'll take ?10 now.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22You are amazing.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25?100 only. At ?100, then, the gavel's up on this bid.

0:40:25 > 0:40:27At ?100 only...

0:40:27 > 0:40:29?80 profit.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32Give the man a hug.

0:40:32 > 0:40:35I mean, that is something else, isn't it? What a star!

0:40:35 > 0:40:38That is plus ?116...

0:40:38 > 0:40:42I am amazed. Anyway, ?116 could be a winning score.

0:40:42 > 0:40:47Don't say a word to the Reds, all right, and all will be revealed in a minute. What fun.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59How are you, teams? OK? Good.

0:41:00 > 0:41:02Looking a bit tense.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05You've been talking to one another at all? No.

0:41:06 > 0:41:12You mean, you've managed to park the secret that both of you have made profits

0:41:12 > 0:41:14that exceed three figures?

0:41:14 > 0:41:15No!

0:41:15 > 0:41:19That both teams have made a profit on each of their items,

0:41:19 > 0:41:23and each team and every member will get a golden gavel as a result?

0:41:24 > 0:41:27The winnings today are of such a scale,

0:41:27 > 0:41:31and enormity, that I can hardly get the numbers out,

0:41:31 > 0:41:33leave alone do the calculation.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35Exciting, this, isn't it?

0:41:36 > 0:41:38Who's ahead, and who's behind?

0:41:38 > 0:41:41Well, it's all a question of scale, and the runners-up today,

0:41:41 > 0:41:44who've done extraordinarily well

0:41:44 > 0:41:47by making ?116 of profit are the Blues.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49SHE GROANS

0:41:49 > 0:41:52And so much cash have I got to hand over that I put it in a brown envelope.

0:41:52 > 0:41:56Except it's a white envelope, because I couldn't find a brown one,

0:41:56 > 0:41:58for you to unpeel, how about that?

0:41:58 > 0:42:02Lovely. You should have ?116 in that envelope.
