0:00:03 > 0:00:07Today, we're in the beautiful East Sussex market town of Lewes
0:00:07 > 0:00:10where we're going to trot up and down this street,
0:00:10 > 0:00:13so let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42In the snowy winter of 1836,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Lewes experienced an avalanche,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48the deadliest ever recorded anywhere in Britain.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51The big question today is, of course,
0:00:51 > 0:00:57are our teams going to enjoy a helter-skelter of profits?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Cor, it is hilly round here, isn't it?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07On today's show, the Reds think they have a good eye for a bargain,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11but they may have to convince a very doubting Thomas.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16- It's a seesaw.- A seesaw?- It's fun. - Rocker.- Don't you want to try it? - No, I don't want to try it.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I really would advise against it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And what do you get if you join together a bread board, an air vent and a light bulb?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Someone has stuck a lamp on it.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- And a very excitable Serrell. - That's got "Serrell" written all over it. I think that's wicked.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35But before all is revealed, let's meet the teams.
0:01:36 > 0:01:43On the show today, we have a divine mother and daughter duo, Caroline and Perdita,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and for the Blues, we've got old mates Yvette and Sarah.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Lovely to see you all.- Hello.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55Great. Now, Caroline, it says here that once upon a time, you represented your country at Wembley.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- I did.- Were you playing football?- No, no.- What were you playing?- Hockey.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05- When I was very young.- When you were very young. Not so very long ago. How old were you when you played?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Under-18s.- Under-18s?- Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Did you play after you were 18?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- No.- What happened?- I gave up. I wanted to do my nursing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- On the wards?- A&E. Intensive.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Really?- Yeah. Acute... - The stressful bit?- Yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- What do you do right now?- I work in retail.- Same sort of thing really(!)
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Another scrum.- Possibly! - Do you enjoy it?- I love it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Perdita, your name has a Shakespearean whiff about it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Yeah.- Very unusual, very pretty.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Thank you. Perdita means "the lost one". I've been travelling a bit.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Tell us where you've been.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Most recently, I've moved back from Cambodia. Before that, Africa, Malawi, Botswana.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I lived in Mexico and Reunion.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- You're a professional traveller. This is the gap year stretched to five years.- Exactly.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03- Which place have you enjoyed in all your travels most?- My favourite place would be Botswana.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Aren't the youth today lucky to dip those toes into so many places? - Absolutely.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- So have you two girls got similar tastes?- Extremely similar.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17- So we're not going to have any disagreements on Bargain Hunt today.- No.- Well...- There you go!
0:03:17 > 0:03:23- "We've got similar tastes, but we are going to disagree!"- As long as we both get our own way.- I see.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29- This could be the battle of the wills today. It's lovely to meet you.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Thank you for joining us. Well, well, well! Yvette...- Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- You two met at school.- Hmm.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Aged 11.- Was it love at first sight?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- No, it wasn't.- What happened? - We had a fight in the playground.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- What, 11-year-olds? - Yes, Sarah put a snowball in my face.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Something like that.- So I did a judo throw on her. I'd just started judo.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Lovely(!) - And we've been friends ever since.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- You're not normally a violent type? - No, no.
0:03:57 > 0:04:03- You're a practising nurse?- I am. Mainly elderly, but not always. - Ever tried A&E?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I haven't. Only when I was training.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- You thought, "That's enough!" - I didn't get on so well in A&E because I like a strict routine.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- So you like your routine? - I like my routine, yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Sarah, it says you're very creative. - Yes.- Tell us about your creativity.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I'm an artist and painter.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25I'm developing a process which is quite challenging, painting on silk.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- And do you sell too? - Yes, I like to. I'd like to, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- You're also a keen collector? - The house is full of stuff.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Fossils?- Yes, I've collected fossils since I was a child.
0:04:36 > 0:04:43- And coins?- And coins.- And vintage porcelain?- And vintage porcelain. - Sometimes embroidery?- Embroidery.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I think we're getting the message here.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- Will you spend all the cash or keep a bit by? What's the plan? - If we need to spend, we will.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55- On that happy note, I shall produce £300. There we go, £300 apiece. - Thank you.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01You know the rules, your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Painting on silk, eh? Nothing nicer.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- PLAYS TUNE - Oh, what a racket!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Let's hope Thomas Plant can get in tune with the Reds.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Ha! Well, today may be the day
0:05:14 > 0:05:18when Philip Serrell reveals his true self to the Blues.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20But let's hope not, eh?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- In it to win it.- In it to win it? - In it to win it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Do you know anything about antiques?- No.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Well, that makes three of us. - LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Are you going to spend or not spend?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- We'd quite like to spend, wouldn't we?- Yes...
0:05:34 > 0:05:38However, sometimes you get a better profit if you spend little.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42That all seems very informative. Let's get something bought.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yeah, get off the street and get into those shops.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Come on.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'm sure something will jump out at us.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Nothing will ever jump out.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It'll never, ever jump.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You have to root, you have to dive.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Quite right, Thomas. He's like a fountain of wisdom, that boy.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Can you lift it?- Of course I can lift it. Super-strength Plant!
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Yes, got it.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12So what you've got is a cast-iron water fountain with a lion's head on there
0:06:12 > 0:06:16and it's just marvellous for somebody's garden.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- How old is it? It's probably 1920s, but what a piece!- It is lovely.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- Is that the kind of thing you'd have in your garden? - No.- I would, definitely.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- Why don't you like it? This is quite heavy.- Can you just turn it round, so we can see it a bit more?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Perdita, are you testing Thomas's strength or what?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- You're not giving it any love. - I'm not loving it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- My eyes are telling me "no".- Let's move on. We can ask about it later.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I wonder what WILL catch Perdita's eye?
0:06:45 > 0:06:50It's just like Serrell to be using such a spellbinding tactic. He's such a toad.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Yes.- Yes.- Do you like that?- Yes.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I think it's just a bit of fun.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00It's a paperweight, a marble base, and this is probably bronze.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- It's sweet.- I just think he's fun. - He's anatomically correct.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- He's also expensive. - Oh, OK.- It's £78.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- I think that at auction, it'll make between 40 and 80 quid, but bear that in mind.- Can I have a feel?
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- Yeah, yeah.- Do you think we could try and get the price down? - You need to get it down a lot.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21We like this. We definitely like this.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26- I do like that book-rest. I wonder how much it is? - Yes, I like the book...- Oh, yes.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Phil's spotted a rather distinctive mouse sitting on a bookshelf.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36It's by the British furniture-maker Robert Thompson, AKA The Mouseman.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40- Do you really like that? - I do.- Yeah, we really love it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- So if we could do a deal...- Yes.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47It's got 285.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52That would be a huge chunk of our money even if we got it down.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56What might be the very best on this? Can we get that down to 200?
0:07:56 > 0:08:02I'll give him a ring. I don't know if he'd go as low as 200, but I'll give him a ring, see what he says.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04We're going to have a wander round.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Could you keep those two for us and tell us what the absolute finito...
0:08:09 > 0:08:15- We're poor, times are hard.- We're running out of time.- Lovely girls. - I've never heard this before!- I know.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Nice try, Phil, but this dealer has got your number.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23We're now 15 minutes in and no-one has bought anything.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- I wish that they were matching. - A pair?- That would be nice.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Let's carry on. You might see some other things which you might like more.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Are those Reds giving you some trouble, Thomas?
0:08:35 > 0:08:41- It suits you.- It doesn't suit me. - Maybe it could be like your parrot and just perch.- Is this a "no"?
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- I think it is a "no".- Something we could come back to?- Maybe. Let's go to the next shop.- Not for today.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Let's just go. Come along.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Watch out, Perdita. You know an elephant never forgets.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00Girls, tactics time. If he comes back and says you can have the two for 260, 270 quid, what will you do?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Yes or no?- Yes, I'd like to...- Yes?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06And then buy something, if you don't mind us leaving you with very little.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I've been left with very little before.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- A very generous 200 quid.- Oh!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13That's got to be 60 quid, that one.
0:09:13 > 0:09:19- I tell you what I think you should do. Which do you like best out of the two?- I like them both.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- What about if we had both for 250? - Yes.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- OK, 250.- Yes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:31- So that's £200 for the book-rest and 50 quid for the froggy-dog. - Yes.- We're very happy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- I'll hold your rodents. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- So you would buy this, would you? - I would pay £200 for it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- That's good because you just have! - Oh, yeah.- Yeah, we have.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Let's hope we have some rodent-lovers at the auction.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Well done. You've steamed into the lead with two items.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Let's step out on to the high street because I've got something to show you.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58When was the last time you saw one of these? Isn't that marvellous?
0:09:58 > 0:10:03It looks like an eccentrically large match. Well, it ain't.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07It's a piece of beechwood that's been lacquered
0:10:07 > 0:10:12and then a pig of lead stuck on the end.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15This is something that is called a priest
0:10:15 > 0:10:21for humanely and quickly putting a fish that you caught to eat out of its misery.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25And you do that by giving it a dab just behind the gills.
0:10:25 > 0:10:31This particular example, I reckon, has been about for 150 years.
0:10:31 > 0:10:37On the same subject, in the next-door shop, I came across this fella.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Well, this isn't a priest.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42It actually is a bit of Irish folk art.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Down this end, it's got a knobbly, hard, well-worn rough bit
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and down this end, it's beautifully smooth -
0:10:50 > 0:10:56smooth because it's been in the palm of somebody's hand for a very long period of time,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00possibly the top end of 150 years.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It was used technically as a walking stick
0:11:03 > 0:11:07for a very short person, probably a leprechaun,
0:11:07 > 0:11:14but if you had a bit of trouble on the street, you could use it to bash somebody on the back of the neck.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That says what this thing is in Ireland.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23It's a shillalah which is a combo club-cum-walking stick.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Well, I reckon in a specialist Irish sale,
0:11:27 > 0:11:30this thing could be worth the top end of £200 to £300,
0:11:30 > 0:11:35but here in Lewes, it could be yours for a mere 50.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37And the priest?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40He could be yours for £10.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Top of the morning to you!
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Now, back to the job in hand.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Thomas! It's a seesaw. - Seesaw?- It's fun.- Rocker.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- Don't you want to try it?- No, I don't. It's for children.- We do.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's £145.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- What did you think? 45? - My goodness! Yes.- It's 145.
0:12:00 > 0:12:06- "The next lot is lot 15A and this is the 1950s...- Seesaw. And the international bidders..."
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- No international bidders. - On the telephone.- No.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- You said you wanted to win.- We do. - Do you think this is a winning item at 145?- It might be.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- It might be? Come on.- We'll look.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I think you two should listen to Thomas on this one.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Now, Caroline and Perdita, what have you spotted this time?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- What have you...- Something else for you to dislike here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I don't dislike everything.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36So this is the Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton...
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Yeah, that's all right. You've got prices of a pound and a shilling.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Who found this?- I found it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- We both found it.- I found it first.
0:12:45 > 0:12:50You are selling in Eastbourne, but what's very interesting is the date.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- First World War?- First World War. I like that.- 46.50.- I like that.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01I think if we had the right person there who really wanted it, I think they would maybe pay...60 to 80?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Very good. I think it's a good thing.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I think it's worth about £30.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10That's what I believe it's worth with the water staining.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- Who's going to do the negotiations? - We'll do it together.- Can we both do it?- Of course you can.
0:13:15 > 0:13:22You need to talk to the dealer. Now, a little tip - don't mention a figure. See what they come up with.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25He's giving away trade secrets again.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Off you go.- Now, with so much time left and two items bought,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32have the Blues stopped off for a cuppa?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- And you're trying to get me to buy that?- Come on.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- No, no, no.- OK, no...
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I'm now going to insist that you buy it.- No, no, no.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45No, because, look, it's not what I want. It's what you want.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50- If you have a complete lacking of taste that you want to buy something like that...- No.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53No, no, no, come on. No, I'm only teasing you.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Were you, Philip? Let's be honest now.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Right, it is...46.50.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06We thought that had probably just been written down wrongly.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- Did you?- Yes.- No, it hasn't.- Maybe just quickly.- Oh, no, it hasn't.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- OK, right, 41.- Still maybe it's been written a bit wrongly.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I'll have to make a phone call. - Would you?
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Cor, these two are very determined, but the clock's still ticking.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Now, it looks as though Philip has seen the light.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Do you honestly like that?- I love that.- I thought it was me - bonkers!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34There's the stand and this is the cowl.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38That's got "Serrell" written all over it, that has.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- It's wonderful.- So what we've got here is a bread board!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Someone has stuck a lamp on it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I think that's wicked. I'd buy that.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52What I think we ought to do is take this upstairs.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- Let's put it all out, see what we've got, see what it does and take it from there.- Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- All right?- Good plan.- Good plan.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06I don't know how he does it. It looks like he's already sold a bread board to the Blues.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10This dealer will have to be pretty tough to survive these two.
0:15:10 > 0:15:1238.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14It's getting written more correctly.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- That's as good as it gets. - That's the absolute bottom?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- No possibility of...? - Rounding it off at five?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25I'll split the difference with you at 36.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Done.- You're a star.- Done.- Thank you so much.- Thank you very much.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35Congratulations. Well done. That was a double pincer action.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- First item...- Done.- Move on.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- I think there's profit in that. - I hope so.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Is there enough money for the seesaw?- No money for the seesaw.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Perdita, stop being so pushy.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- We're at the halfway mark and you Reds still have two items left to find.- This way!
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- I'll put the bread board there. - The bread board there, yeah.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Lord above!- Is it really heavy?- No.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03So, Sarah, Yvette, let's take a closer look at this thing.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- We've got a cowl that's probably galvanised metal.- Yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's an air vent off a roof,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13probably 1920s, 1930s, perhaps even a bit later.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I would guess this has come off an agricultural building.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It might even have come off a chicken shed or something, just to vent fresh air in.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25He's then put a bread board underneath it
0:16:25 > 0:16:28with a socket on there.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- In a way, I wouldn't even mind if they threw that away and we just sold this.- Yeah.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Because I think this is what we're buying.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Now, the issue for me is that it's priced up at 120 quid.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- I just hope it was off that stall that said everything was half-price. - I'm sure it was.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50You want to try and leave me something. If you can leave me a fiver or a pound or...
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- Yes.- I don't know what I'll find for £1.- We've got 50. - You've got 50 quid left.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- We really need to get it under 50. - It'll be you and the dealer.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01No pressure there then(!) Oh, look.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06Caroline and Perdita have found something that reflects their personalities.
0:17:06 > 0:17:13So you've got a mirror here which is in chrome with a bevelled edge, which is a triptych mirror.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17That's because it's got three sides or panels.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Do you know what's even better? It's a travelling one.
0:17:20 > 0:17:26That folds on there and that folds in on itself, then that clips on there like that - comme ca.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28You can even hang it up.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- How old would that be? - It's not going to be that old.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- It's going to be 1920s?- OK.- 1930s?
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- How much is that?- 44.- Can we make a profit?- You need to halve that.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- It needs to be 20 quid. - Let's look in the rest of the shop. - Can we come back to that?
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- We haven't got much time.- No.- You've bought one thing.- Yes, but one great thing.- One great thing. Come on.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I'm not sure I'd say that, but we're now in the final quarter of the hour
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and there's plenty of hard negotiating still to be done.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Hello.- Hiya.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Well, we need to see how low you can go on this because we haven't got much money.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- So you need to be very good to us. - Again?- Again.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- If possible.- So to leave him five, you'd have to buy that for 45 quid.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- It's half-price anyway. - Yeah, it's 60.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- 45 quid then. It gives him a fiver. - Yes.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Any way we can do that? - We'll do that, yeah.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- OK, thank you.- Wonderful.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Thank you.- We've spent all the money. - Thank you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Now, that is what I like to hear. Well done, you two.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40Now, Reds, you've got ten minutes to buy two items, so buck up.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Sussex Pottery. That's £58.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- That's a possibility.- I quite like that one.- That's a possibility.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Sussex Rustic Ware, Rye Miniature - £58.
0:18:51 > 0:18:57- That kind of thing, in a local sale room, could do well. You could have a profit in that.- It's quite sweet.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Shall we ask about that?- What do you want to do? £58 is not expensive.
0:19:01 > 0:19:07- I want to look around and see if there's something else.- You've got your mirror.- We've got the mirror.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Yes.- And if we went for both... - Then you've got heaps of money.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17- I've got heaps of money. I thought you would buy expensive things.- So did I. It's terribly disappointing.
0:19:17 > 0:19:24- Shall I go and ask about this? - Yeah.- We've hardly got any time. - Let's ask about this and the mirror.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- What happened?- We've got it.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- What for?- 45.- I think that's wicked. - Do you?- That's absolutely wicked.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- When you think it was originally 120...- Yeah, it's just a wicked piece of kit.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- It is, isn't it? - I wouldn't be surprised if it made £100 at the auction.- Really?
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- I wouldn't be surprised if it made 15 quid.- OK. - It's that sort of thing.- Yes.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53That's what I love about you, Philip. You always keep it real.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I've just spoken to the chap and he said it could be 40 quid.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- Oh!- There we are.- And the mirror? - How much is that?- Well, it's 44.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- 34.- Let's just do it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- We're doing it.- You're just going to do it?- You've had a little win on that.- Yes, exactly.
0:20:08 > 0:20:15- Are you sure?- Yes.- So you've spent hardly anything. You've spent all under £50 per item.- Yes.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20So it's all up to you to bring it home.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Cor, I feel your pain, Thomas.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Right, that's it. The hour's up. Let's check out what the Red Team bought, right?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32The Reds turned a crisis into a drama
0:20:32 > 0:20:35with this World War One period theatre poster.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39After some to-ing and fro-ing, they got it for £36.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Then after a moment's reflection,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47they opted for this Edwardian dressing table mirror - £34 paid.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And at the same time, they poured out £40
0:20:51 > 0:20:54on a miniature Rye Pottery jug.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- Are you happy with your shop?- Yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- You're disappointed you didn't spend it all.- We could have been happier. - We weren't allowed to.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- LAUGHTER - We weren't permitted.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Am I picking up that somebody's been a bit bossy here?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Bossy?- Oppressive. - Oppressive. OK, fine.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Not at all.- Dictatorial?- Yes!- Yes!
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Ah, yes.- Exactly!
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- No good you doing this. - I've never been described as dictatorial or bossy.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28- OK, girls, in this lovely shaft of sunshine, you had a good shop?- Yes.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Which is your favourite piece, Caroline?- The poster.
0:21:31 > 0:21:38- Do you agree?- No, mine was the seesaw.- The seesaw is favourite. - But we didn't buy the seesaw!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- OK, of what you DID buy?- The poster. - That's a relief.- Yep.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- Will it bring the biggest profit? - Yes!- No!- So which will?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- The pottery.- OK, fine.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- And you spend how much in total? - 110.- How much?- 110.- I know.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Because we didn't get to buy what we wanted!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I think we better drop it there. 110 is a paltry amount.
0:22:02 > 0:22:09- £190 of leftover lolly, please.- Yes. - Who's got that?- I'm not sure that he can be trusted with it.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13No, OK. Unfortunately, the rules mean I have to give it to him...
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- You know what you're meant to do! - I'm not going to do it!
0:22:18 > 0:22:23This has been an interesting shopping experience.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28While you bicker about this, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34The Blues have high hopes for this little bronze toad on a black marble paperweight.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37They hopped to it and paid £50.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Then they thought this Mouseman oak desktop could carve out a profit,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43but the price was high at £200.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50And the vintage industrial lamp was so Serrell at £45.
0:22:52 > 0:22:59- So you've left me a fiver.- Yes. - We have every hope in you to make a profit.- I think that's so cool,
0:22:59 > 0:23:05leaving the maestro with only a fiver to go for. So £295 very well spent.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- Did you enjoy it, Yvette? - Brilliant. Yeah, great fun.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15- Sarah?- Loved it.- Good for you, kids. Now you spent 295. Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:15 > 0:23:21We bought a beautiful, heavy marble paperweight with a bronze frog on the top.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- You're pleased with that?- We're pleased with all three items.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- Which will bring the biggest profit? - The Mouseman.- Yes, the Mouseman.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35- Is it? So who's got this miserable £5 note?- I have.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Thank you, Sarah. You're very kind. Well, not really. There we go.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45I see that as maybe half a pint and a couple of Cornish pasties.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48As a rule, I'm used to a lot more than this.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Whatever are you going to do? We'll find out.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58Good luck with that. Meanwhile, I'm going to immerse myself in the wonderment of a Jacobean mansion
0:23:58 > 0:24:00just outside Birmingham. Oo-ah!
0:24:03 > 0:24:09You might be surprised to learn that just a short kick from the Aston Villa football ground
0:24:09 > 0:24:15in Birmingham, one of Britain's greatest industrial cities, sits a grand 17th-century house.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Completed in 1635, Aston Hall was the realisation
0:24:21 > 0:24:27of a proud dream from Sir Thomas Holte, a wealthy baronet.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33But in 1643, just eight years after its completion,
0:24:33 > 0:24:39Sir Thomas's elegant home and gardens became a battleground
0:24:39 > 0:24:42in the bloody English Civil War.
0:24:42 > 0:24:491642 saw the beginning of hostilities between the Royalist supporters of King Charles I,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53who dominated the north and west of England, and the Roundheads,
0:24:53 > 0:24:58the Republican parliamentary forces who controlled the south and east.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03The following year, the Civil War was in full swing and as the two sides battled for power,
0:25:03 > 0:25:08poor old Aston Hall in Birmingham was left piggy in the middle.
0:25:08 > 0:25:15Sir Thomas's loyalties lay with the crown. So much so that he asked the King for help
0:25:15 > 0:25:17in defending his home
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and on the 18th of December, 1643,
0:25:20 > 0:25:26forty Royalist musketeers were detailed to defend the house.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31They were soon outnumbered, though, by the Parliamentary forces.
0:25:33 > 0:25:40In fact, it only took three days for the Parliamentarians to weed out those Royalists
0:25:40 > 0:25:46and the Parliamentarians in laying siege had some cannon.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Things called saker cannon, which were used on naval vessels and land,
0:25:50 > 0:25:56and they would fire a solid cannon ball and it's thought that a ball like this
0:25:56 > 0:26:03entered the house and flew across the landing here and shattered that solid oak newel post.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07All of this was too much for the Royalists and they capitulated.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12The amazing thing is, though, that in the 360-odd years
0:26:12 > 0:26:16they never got around to repairing the staircase.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22In fact, Sir Thomas had proved his loyalty to the crown earlier
0:26:22 > 0:26:28because on the 18th October, 1642, he gave King Charles accommodation
0:26:28 > 0:26:31here at Aston Hall.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35He spent the night here before the fateful battle at Edgehill.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Soon after the execution of Charles I in 1649
0:26:40 > 0:26:47Sir Thomas was imprisoned and fined nearly £7,000 by the new Republican government.
0:26:47 > 0:26:53And this cabinet is known in the family as the King Charles cabinet.
0:26:53 > 0:26:59Hopefully not because they think it's a Charles I cabinet, which it isn't.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03This cabinet was made in the reign of Charles II
0:27:03 > 0:27:10and was supposedly presented to the family in gratitude for their loyalty to the crown.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13That could all be apocryphal.
0:27:13 > 0:27:19What is true, though, is that this is a magnificent Charles II cabinet.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28What we have are two niches, these black ebony veneered recesses
0:27:28 > 0:27:33that might originally have had some gilt bronze statues in them.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37They're flanked by pilasters and at the top of each pilaster
0:27:37 > 0:27:39is a little capital.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44All within an entablature with a broken pediment.
0:27:44 > 0:27:50And in the middle of that pediment are the royal coat of arms, probably added later.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53If I open up the doors of the centrepiece,
0:27:53 > 0:27:58it reveals yet more treasures and delights. Look at that.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03A richly gilt pillared and mirrored central tabernacle,
0:28:03 > 0:28:08flanked by red tortoiseshell and ivory veneered drawers.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Over the years, we've seen several of these cabinets,
0:28:13 > 0:28:18but I can't recall one that's got quite such a detailed central section.
0:28:18 > 0:28:24The whole thing is set off by a parquetry of ivory and king wood,
0:28:24 > 0:28:28but done in perspective to deceive your eye.
0:28:28 > 0:28:34The big question today at the auction is are our teams about to be deceived?
0:28:39 > 0:28:45Today we find ourselves in the delightful Eastbourne Auction Rooms with auctioneer Paul Achilleous.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47- Good morning, Paul.- Morning, Tim.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52First up for the Blues is the Wolverhampton theatre poster.
0:28:52 > 0:28:58Sometimes these posters are bright and breezy, right? This one is brown and black
0:28:58 > 0:29:03and has to be the least eye-catching theatre poster I've ever seen.
0:29:03 > 0:29:09- It's not that exciting, is it? - It's a specialist thing. What do you think it's worth?
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- We've put 40-60 on it. - OK. They paid £36. You're predicting a profit. That's what this is about.
0:29:14 > 0:29:21- Fair enough. What about this dressing table folding mirror? - Nice mirror. Could do with a polish.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Dates from when? About 1910? 1920? - 1920 I would say.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30I don't do much in the way of makeup. Do you do much makeup?
0:29:30 > 0:29:38Cos if you do, you can angle those mirrors to make quite sure your earrings are on correctly.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- What do you think it's worth? - We've put 30-50.- They paid £34.
0:29:43 > 0:29:49And their third item is a bit of pottery that ought to do incredibly well. It's a bit of Rye pottery.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I guess you sell this all the time.
0:29:51 > 0:29:58We do. It's not the best example in the world. The more desirable pieces have normally hops or corn,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02foliage. More decorative. But it's a nice little example.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04An entry level piece.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10- What's the entry level price, then? - 30-50.- £40 paid. So they're pretty close all round,
0:30:10 > 0:30:16even though I've been a bit snarky. They may need their bonus buy, so let's look at it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:21OK, girls, you spent a measly £110. You gave Thomas £190.
0:30:21 > 0:30:27Did he blow the lot on something divine, rare, extraordinary? Thomas, show us.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Look at that, girls. Isn't that exquisite?
0:30:31 > 0:30:38- You look underwhelmed! - Well, it's not a seesaw! - I was never buying you that seesaw!
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- It's very pretty.- It is. - Oh, it's "quite pretty". Silver.
0:30:42 > 0:30:48With beautiful enamel on there and those fabulous little four-leaf clovers.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- It's continental.- That's lovely. - It is good quality.- How much?- £20!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56- 20?- Yeah.- Is that all?- That all.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01- How old is it? - I would say no older than 1920.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06- I think you've done quite well. - No...- Quite well.- I'll take that. - This is faint praise.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09We're quite impressed.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- Happy, girls?- Yeah, we are. - Ask him how much profit.- How much?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- That's a double your money job. 40 quid, I reckon.- Yes, yes.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22Meanwhile, why don't we find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's little spoon?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25That's a pretty colour pink.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30Very nice, Tim. Would have come as part of a set originally.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34£20 paid by that Thomas Plant. What do you reckon it'll bring?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37We've put 20-30 on it.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42Well, he might get out of trouble if the team decide to go with it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:48Now for the Blues. First up for them is the little toad paperweight,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53- which I think probably is late-19th century.- I would agree. Possibly up to the '20s.
0:31:53 > 0:31:59- Are these popular at auction? - Not particularly. Bronzes used to be very popular, but not these days.
0:31:59 > 0:32:05- So how much then?- Possibly £20 or £30.- OK, £50 paid. So it's turned out to be a little toad.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Looking up, though, we move on to the Thompson Mouseman bookshelf.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- It's a nice example. Always very popular.- How much?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- We'll do 100-150.- £200 they paid.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23- So they're a bit light on that, but you never can tell. - We've probably been conservative.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27And, lastly, the eccentric Philip Serrell purchase,
0:32:27 > 0:32:33which is a galvanised tin or zinc ventilator, turned into a lamp.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Interesting to say the least, Tim.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40It looks like an old breadboard and somebody's put a lamp on it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- It's called recycling.- Certainly is.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Industrial items are fairly popular with interior designers.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- They use them for decoration purposes.- And typical Serrell.
0:32:50 > 0:32:56- He paid £45. Can he possibly turn a profit?- Possibly. We think possibly 50-80.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59You're a brave man. Who knows what will happen?
0:32:59 > 0:33:04They'll probably need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07Well, girls, you spent a magnificent £295.
0:33:07 > 0:33:13You gave the Silver Fox a £5 note. Phil, what did you do with it?
0:33:13 > 0:33:18I was going to buy a cheese sandwich but I hadn't got enough money,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- so I bought that.- Oh. A ruler.
0:33:20 > 0:33:27A sweet little boxwood ruler. I thought it was quite sweet. It was a fiver.
0:33:27 > 0:33:32- Bear in mind that was all I had. - Yes. We were very mean, weren't we?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- But much loved, I'd say. - I think it's much loved.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40- Also, more importantly, much collected.- Do you think we'll make a profit?
0:33:40 > 0:33:45- If that doesn't make a profit, I'll give up.- OK.- As a rule, they do.
0:33:45 > 0:33:52- Yes.- Thank you. On that happy note, why don't we check out what the auctioneer thinks of Phil's rule?
0:33:54 > 0:34:00- OK, Paul. How do you get on with these scientific instruments? - Pretty well, normally.
0:34:00 > 0:34:06- This is quite a plain one, though. - I would say that's probably 1930s, 1940s, wouldn't you?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10- I would agree.- A solid bit of boxwood. Beautifully done. How much?
0:34:10 > 0:34:15- We've put £15-£20 on this. - OK, £5 paid by Serrell.
0:34:15 > 0:34:21- That should be a good bonus buy if the team decide to go with it. Good luck in the auction.- Thank you.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Thank you.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Caroline and Perdita, how are you feeling?- Confident.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Confident. Excited. - It's lovely to be at the auction.
0:34:35 > 0:34:41- Exactly.- You can't beat these places. You've got the theatre poster, which I've been rude about
0:34:41 > 0:34:46- because it's dull and brown. - It's old!- I know, but I'm off it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50But the auctioneer likes it. He thinks 40-60.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54On the other hand, you've got the lovely pink spoon.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- If you need it. He done good on that.- If we pick it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:04If you pick it. You're such a tease. But the first lot coming up is the poster. Here it comes now.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The WWI period theatre poster. Start this at £20.
0:35:08 > 0:35:13Here on commission at 20. I'll take two. Five. Eight.
0:35:13 > 0:35:1730. Two. Five. Eight. 40. Two?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Yes! Yes!
0:35:19 > 0:35:23At £40 the bid. Anyone else at 40?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25All done at 40?
0:35:25 > 0:35:29- I'm wrong. You made £4 profit. - Go, Team Us.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33The Edwardian triptych dressing table mirror. At £32.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35I'll take five from you.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- At 32. Surely worth more. - No, more...
0:35:39 > 0:35:42- Anyone else? 35 bid. 35. - Excellent.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Take eight from you now. All done on this bid, then.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50- £35 is plus £1.- Yes!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53The miniature Rye pottery jug. There it is.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Shall we start at £30? I'll take another two.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0032, sir. At 32. Bid's in front of me.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Here at 32.- No!- It's worth more.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Exactly.- Who'll go five for it?
0:36:06 > 0:36:11At £32 only. Anyone else? All done and selling, then.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Uh-oh. £32 is minus £8.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21- You had £5.- We were doing so well. If only we hadn't listened to the expert
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- and bought the seesaw.- Hang on! You wanted to buy a seesaw.
0:36:25 > 0:36:32- It would have made hundreds. - Don't be so ridiculous. - Hang on. You just lost £8.
0:36:32 > 0:36:38- Overall, you're minus £3. Now what about the silver spoon? Are you going with it?- Yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- We'll give Thomas another chance. - Give him a break, poor boy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47OK, we're going with the bonus buy. Here it comes.
0:36:47 > 0:36:52The continental 925 grade silver spoon with pink enamel decoration. There it is.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55At £15. 18. 20. Two. Five.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Eight? Go one more. At £25. I'll take six, if it helps.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- Go on.- 26, he says. At 26.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- I'll take seven. - Well, you're in profit.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- 27 with the lady. 28.- Yes!
0:37:09 > 0:37:11I can't go 50p. At £27.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16- It's a quality item. - I'll take eight. 27. Lady's bid.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22That is plus £7. Well done, Tom. You've redeemed yourself.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25You are overall, girls, plus £4.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31What could be sweeter than that? You've been on the rollercoaster
0:37:31 > 0:37:36- and you've come up in the black. - Yeah.- Even though you're Reds. - Considerably(!)
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Don't say a word to those Blues. Keep that on the old QT.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52- Now Sarah, Yvette, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- Excellent.
0:37:52 > 0:37:58- Is there anything you wish you hadn't bought?- I think we may have spent a lot of money,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- too much money, on everything. - In retrospect.- On everything?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- I'm slightly worried.- You spent 295. - Yes.- You invested.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11- Yes...- To speculate is to accumulate. Right?- Hopefully.
0:38:11 > 0:38:18If all else fails, you've got the triangular-shaped ruler for £5 to fall back on.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23I'm very proud of you girls. It's great that you've invested
0:38:23 > 0:38:28and taken the trouble to give it a bit of a spin with nearly all your cash. And why not?
0:38:28 > 0:38:33First lot up is your little toad. What a lovely thing that is.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Paperweight surmounted with a bronze toad. Nice example, this.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43Double bids here. We start this at 55 on commission. Straight in at 55.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- I'll take 60.- He's in profit before we've started.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50At £60 only. Where's another five? 65.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52£70. 75. 80's bid.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Five, is it? 85. 90.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- Five, is it?- It's going to double its money. Look at his face.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Deadpan.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04At 95. 100 rounds it off. At 100.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07At £100. 105. 110.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- It hasn't stopped!- 115 on the 'net.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14120 may I say? Go on, don't let him have it.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17115 here. Try one more. 120 is bid.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- He likes it!- He really likes it!
0:39:19 > 0:39:22At 120. Room bidder has it again.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24At 120.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Well done, Phil!- Wow!
0:39:26 > 0:39:31That is fantastic, isn't it? That is plus £70.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Here comes your book trough.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Nice little book rest, this. Has the mouse. At £80. Take five.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40And five is bid. And 90.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4490, your bid. At £90. And five is bid.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48100, round it off. 100 is bid. Go on, 120. 115, then.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53- 115 it is. At 115. - We're going to lose all our money!
0:39:53 > 0:39:56120. 125? Go on, go another fiver.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00Another fiver. 125. 130, is it? 130. Go on.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- One more. No?- Come on!
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Are we all done? I let it go on this bid. 130.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12I can't believe it! £130 is minus 70!
0:40:12 > 0:40:16You had the 70 and then you lost the 70!
0:40:16 > 0:40:21How terrible is that? Now hang on a minute.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25There it is. Double bids here. We start again at £40.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30- Look out for this, girls. - At 45. The industrial look there.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- Wiped its face.- Is there eight? - Go on.- At 45, then.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37All done and letting it go now.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- 45.- Oh, £45. It wiped its face.
0:40:41 > 0:40:47- You made no profit.- Nothing! - At the end of the day you've got absolutely nothing!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50How can this be? This is not right somehow.
0:40:50 > 0:40:57- I've seen some ups and down! Are you going to go with the ruler for a £5 note?- Yes!
0:40:57 > 0:41:00You're going with it? Fine. A wise move.
0:41:00 > 0:41:06The English 12-inch divided boxwood pyramid rule. There it is, look.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11- Again, due to conflicting bids, straight in here at 15. - He's tripled his money.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1518. And 20. And two? 20 still on commission.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- £20 only. Anyone else coming in? - You're going home with money!
0:41:20 > 0:41:26- All done. 20.- £20. Well done, Phil. £20 is plus £15.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31That is a sweet note to finish on. Don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:40 > 0:41:47Well, well, well. Have we had fun? We have had a rollercoaster of fun today! It's been fab.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Both teams have done extraordinarily well. Both teams know it,
0:41:51 > 0:41:55but one team is marginally behind.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00- And that team, in the profit stakes, are the Reds.- Aww!- Sorry, Reds.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- You've got a profit. - A profit!- Plus £4 you have.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09There you go. There's your £4. £2 for Perdita, £2 for your mother.
0:42:09 > 0:42:15- Try not to spend it all at once. - Just nicked my best line, thank you.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20- Did you have a nice time?- We did. - What about you, Ma?- Wonderful.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25- Was it good for you, Tom? - It was ecstatic.- You've taken flak.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31It's been an interesting experience, but it's been an enriching one.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34OK, guys, we've loved having you,
0:42:34 > 0:42:40but the victors today with a resounding £15 profit are the Blues.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46Here you are, darling. Take that. It was all going splendidly. They made £70, then lost £70.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52Then they made nothing at all, then Philip Serrell rode into the fray
0:42:52 > 0:42:55and made them £15 on his £5 item.
0:42:55 > 0:43:02- So it has been truly a rollercoaster today. Did you have a good time? - Wonderful.- We loved having you.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- Why don't you join us soon for some more bargain hunting? Yes?- Yes!
0:43:07 > 0:43:13I know you're sitting there thinking, "I could have done better than that!"
0:43:13 > 0:43:19Well, what's stopping you? If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22It'll be splendid to see you.
