0:00:08 > 0:00:10On today's show,
0:00:10 > 0:00:15the fair is located in the grounds of the splendid Deene Park,
0:00:15 > 0:00:17once the home of Lord Cardigan
0:00:17 > 0:00:20of Charge of the Light Brigade fame.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22The big question today is, though,
0:00:22 > 0:00:25how much are our teams about to be charged
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and will we finish up with carnage?
0:00:27 > 0:00:30THUNDER CLAP Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Lord Cardigan also led his cavalry
0:00:59 > 0:01:02in the Battle of Balaclava.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We've got a right battle on today between husbands and wives.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Here's a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14'Today, the reds take on an expensive gamble.'
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We've fallen in love with him.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Somebody must want him with lots of money.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22It's all going to be my fault! No, we won't blame you.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We could say no.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28'And the blues are full of hot air.'
0:01:28 > 0:01:30PLAYS JAUNTY TUNE ON HARMONICA
0:01:30 > 0:01:34TUNELESS DRONE
0:01:37 > 0:01:43'The big question is, will both teams be hitting the right notes at auction?
0:01:45 > 0:01:48'Before all that, let's meet the contestants.'
0:01:52 > 0:01:58Today, we have a team of two wives battling it out against their husbands.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01We have ex teachers Wendy and Sally
0:02:01 > 0:02:05versus their long-suffering husbands, Jim and Dave.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Now, Sally, how was it that you met Wendy and Dave?
0:02:12 > 0:02:16When we moved to Nottingham, er...35 years ago,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19we had a daughter who wanted to learn the piano.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Somebody recommended Wendy to us so I started taking her to lessons.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29We've known each other ever since. And you hit it off, which is lovely.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Now, you've always enjoyed working with children? Yes, I have.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38I worked as a school teacher for, ooh, 24 years.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Wendy, you also spent your career dealing with children. Yes, I did.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Older children, 16 to 18-year-olds,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48who I taught in an FE college and in a sixth form college.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53How do you think you girls are going to get on with the old bargain hunting? Brilliantly!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Absolutely! Bound to do better than the men!
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Oh, really? Oh, yes. I feel a bit of pillow talk coming on.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03LAUGHTER Anyway, good luck, girls.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Now, Jim, you, like your wife, used to be a teacher.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I certainly did. Yes, taught over 30 years.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15What's your expertise? Modern languages, German and French.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Now, Dave, unlike the other members of the team,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21you managed to avoid teaching.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I went into the Probation Service after I left university.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29How are you going to get on buying these antiques, you two?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think we'll do...remarkably well, don't you, Dave? Quietly confident.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You're going to hammer the girls?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38LAUGHTER Well... In a manner of speaking!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I didn't say you were going to "beat" them. I said "hammer them".
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I think... We think they're slightly over-confident. Yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Do you think they're a bit cocky? Just a bit. Just a bit?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53See what I mean? There's going to be big trouble here!
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Now, £300 apiece. Grab the dosh. You know the rules.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Your experts await and off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I predict deep, deep trouble.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12'Now, let's meet the experts helping the teams today.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16'Kate Bateman is on hand to ensure the reds remain pitch perfect.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22'And in charge of the blues is Indiana Jones wannabe:'
0:04:25 > 0:04:29OK, boys, I hear you brought along your other halves.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Well, "brought along" is a bit of an over-statement.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36They're contestants, aren't they? Yeah, opponents.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Against you? Are we going to beat them? We're quietly confident.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45The aim is not only to beat Thomas Plant but to beat your husbands. Oh, yes!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49The honour of womanhood is at stake? Absolutely. No pressure(!)
0:04:49 > 0:04:54We've only got an hour. Yes. Are we going to buy well? We are. Let's go!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Get in the tent.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58'So, armed with £300,
0:04:58 > 0:05:03'both teams must find three items in under an hour to take to auction.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12'First to spot a potential item is Kate.'
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Look, look, tiles. You like tiles.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21I do. Sally likes tiles. What do we think? They are a bit modern.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Yeah. I'm not that desperate, really. They don't speak to me.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They have to speak to you? Yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33There's a little Art Nouveau... I guess that's an ashtray.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That's really cute. It's probably WMF or something.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Who is it?
0:05:38 > 0:05:43Oh, Liberty's Tudric! Ooh! Hey!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46That's a good idea. It is a bit damaged.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Nothing a bit of spit and polish wouldn't get rid of. Pretty good.
0:05:50 > 0:05:5354's quite a lot of money. It's worth haggling.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58It is. I would have put that at 30 to 60 in a sale.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I think that's right at the top end.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's a great name, circa 1920.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08If you could get it for around £35, there's probably a chance of profit.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12It might be one to think about. Go and ask the lady how much.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15OK. I can try that. Think "tough"!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Imagine the look on your husband's face when we beat him. Oh, yes!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21LAUGHTER
0:06:21 > 0:06:24'Remember, all's fair in love and war, Sally.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26'What are those blues up to?'
0:06:26 > 0:06:30What is it about locks? I just like the sense of a key.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I like the different sizes of key.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Do you think there's been a change in locks recently?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Are you disappointed by a Yale?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41LAUGHING: Very disappointed by a Yale!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44This has got style, but I don't know if it's got any age.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49No. This looks very modern to me. They've got no age to them.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They're sweet. Shame.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54If you are restoring a property, they are ideal. Yeah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57But I think for the purpose of an antiques show,
0:06:57 > 0:07:00they have to be a little bit older.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05'Locks might not be the key to your success, blues.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12'Back to the reds, and what news on a price for the Tudric dish?'
0:07:12 > 0:07:16She says she'll do it for 35, which she thinks is quite fair. 35?
0:07:16 > 0:07:20It is a very good price drop from 50-odd.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I would say leave it. You can always come back to it and think about it.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's a nice thing. At 35 you might have a chance.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Let's hope no-one buys it in the meantime. OK. Carry on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37'Outside the main marquee,
0:07:37 > 0:07:41'it looks like Thomas's team have spotted a Moorcroft candle holder.'
0:07:41 > 0:07:43How do you know it's Moorcroft? Good point.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47I could be facetious and say you just do.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51It's just the traditional tube-line design.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54These cells get filled with the colours, then they get glazed.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59The glaze goes over this and the cells encase the colours.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03It's a stoneware, instead of a porcelain.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Therefore, fired at a lower temperature.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10This is a more modern piece of Moorcroft. That's very pretty.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You like that one? Yeah. A more modern piece of Moorcroft.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17This one, I would suggest, would be 1970s, 1980s.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21You can tell that by the colour, the pattern, with the cream glaze.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And the red. Is there a special price for that?
0:08:24 > 0:08:30We can always ask. Can you do a special price for two? There's always a special price for two.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, I was asking 65 each.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I will do the two for...95.
0:08:35 > 0:08:3995. That's a good offer. Now, I'm going to ask...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41How about £80?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45How about 90? That would have to be it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49I'm afraid. £90, that's £45 each. Um...
0:08:49 > 0:08:5085?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55OK, you can have them for 85. I think, yeah.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57We're happy with that. Yeah?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Yes. I like it myself and it feels as though it's marketable.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Absolutely. We'll do that. Thank you very much.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09'Good bit of haggling, boys. That's the first purchase for the blues.'
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Hello. We're looking at this chair and wondering what you thought.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27It's very pretty. I'll love it a lot more if they say it's only ten quid.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29LAUGHING: It's 85.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think it's a LOT of money. Yes, I think so, too.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35You're not going to make a profit and that's the whole point.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39I'm about to throw a spanner in the works. I've found something. Ooh.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44Something tiny. Right! Now, first impressions? Isn't that lovely?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I really like that. He's got character. Look at his feet!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50He's a little boy. Yeah.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53You wanted quality. His toes! He's gorgeous!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Is he brass? He's bronze.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59And he is a very, very, very good find. Ooh, bronze.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02This mark tells me he's by Franz Bergman,
0:10:02 > 0:10:09who is the pinnacle of Austrian cold-painted bronzes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'Bergman was a Viennese foundry producing bronze sculpture.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16'They had distinctive marks, sometimes including Namgreb,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18'which is Bergman in reverse,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'and often used it on their more erotic pieces. Cor! Fancy that!'
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I literally just found it in a cabinet over there.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Wow! The detail of his toes and his hair. How much is he? Yeah.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33This is the... The rub. This is the bad news.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35We haven't bought anything. No.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Bearing in mind you have a whole £300 to spend...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42It's on at... It's on at 250. BOTH: Gosh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I know! But this has a fantastic chance of a profit.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Really? Even at 250? Yeah. If we could haggle them down?
0:10:51 > 0:10:56I would estimate that, no problem, at...200 to 400. Wow!
0:10:56 > 0:11:01There's a real chance you could get 100 quid profit. I love his feet.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05If you could get down to 200, 180, you've really got a chance.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07It's going to be on the internet, this sale.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10That is the best you could buy. He's in good condition.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15You probably said, but how old...? He's going to be about, oh, crikey!
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Probably 1920s. I think if you could get that at 200 or below,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23you've got a really good chance of at least a 50 quid profit.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27It'd be really hard to lose money. Ooh, yes! Go for it. Go on!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Now you're going to make me do all the work? Yes.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Right. You found it. You've got to do two more items.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40And leave me more than £1 for a bonus buy in 100 quid. Is that do-able? Yes. Course it is.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42I'll try. Anything's possible.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45BOTH LAUGH Keep looking at your £85 chair!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48'Oh, Kate, go and see what you can do.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52'Now, why don't you take a look at what I found here at the fair?'
0:11:52 > 0:11:56This looks like rather a dull black box, doesn't it?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Those who watch Bargain Hunt a lot know I like these dull black boxes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06If you get hold of a good one, it has high-quality brass hasps
0:12:06 > 0:12:11which open like this, to reveal a special interior.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Ha! How magnificent are these?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19A pair of Georgian buckles, but no ordinary buckles.
0:12:19 > 0:12:25Firstly, these are encrusted in fake diamonds known as paste.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28And paste is nothing but glass,
0:12:28 > 0:12:33high-quality glass, that's cut and faceted like a precious stone
0:12:33 > 0:12:37and then mounted in a way, with silver foil behind,
0:12:37 > 0:12:39that allows the light
0:12:39 > 0:12:44to glisten and refract through the glass, just like a diamond.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48The fact that all the stones are of a different size and shape,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52they have to be fitted on a curve like this, which is complicated,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56goes to make these a particularly special pair.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00They were probably made between 1770 and 1780,
0:13:00 > 0:13:06when this particular style of extremely arched and flashy buckles
0:13:06 > 0:13:08was first produced.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12For a collector, what's really nice about these flashy buckles
0:13:12 > 0:13:15is that it has got the original case.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Believe it or not, there's an international community
0:13:17 > 0:13:21of collectors of this sort of Georgian artefact.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25As a result, I think these D'Artois buckles could bring
0:13:25 > 0:13:31as much as £400 to £600 or 500 to 700 in a specialist sale.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33What might you buy them for?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well, if you're lucky,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39they might come your way for a dazzling couple of hundred.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Right. Oooh! I have a result. And?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53It was on at 250. I did try very, very hard.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57The best death she'll do is 200.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02It's a massive gamble. She will not go below 200. I have tried.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06But he's so gorgeous! His little fingers, his little feet.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11We've fallen in love with him and we think somebody must want him, with lots of money.
0:14:11 > 0:14:16Are you pleased? I think that's a great buy. He's got weight as well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, you sweetheart. He's got weight.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23It's all going to be my fault if you fail miserably. We won't blame you.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26We could say no. It's our choice to say no.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I'm saying yes. And I'm saying yes. That's a great quality piece.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33You can't take him home. We've got to sell him!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36He'd just fit in my pocket! Don't!
0:14:36 > 0:14:42We've got to pay the woman first! Let's go pay. Give her some money.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45'Great. It's a lot of money, but worth a gamble
0:14:45 > 0:14:47'and the first purchase made by the reds.'
0:14:56 > 0:14:59What about the accordion? That looks quite new.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03It isn't. It's a Diana Accordeon. That one's 75.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05It's got the original box.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08It's in amazing condition. I don't play the accordion.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11I play the harmonica. You've got it there?
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Look! You can knock out a tune now, can you? I can. Go on, then.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19OK, right.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25PLAYS A JAUNTY TUNE
0:15:27 > 0:15:29'Well played, Jim.'
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Can you play that at the same time? No, I wish I could. I'd ruin that.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36He's good, isn't he? Yeah, he's good.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41That's fabulous. Well done! But that did interest me.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45It must be THE most difficult instrument to play.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48TUNELESS DRONING
0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's all there, isn't it?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Marvellous condition.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00What's the very best on this? What about 70?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04I can do 70, yeah, but that's about there.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I couldn't put much on it.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I paid a lot, but I really wanted it because of the condition.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Could we...? We've got a bit of time. Could we come back to it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:1765. 65, best offer? Yes.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Thank you very much. We may well come back.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25We'll give it some thought. We'll have a look round.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28'Have a wee think, gents, but don't leave it that long.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32'We're halfway through the shop. How are those reds getting on?'
0:16:32 > 0:16:36That's very pretty. London 1901. I've got 49 on that.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Do you like that, ladies? I like it. It's the simplicity.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42It's a lovely hobnail cut.
0:16:42 > 0:16:461901, the last year of Queen Victoria's reign.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It is pretty, isn't it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:50It's lovely. Have a sniff.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54Oh, it still smells! Smell it! Ooh, yes. That's great.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh! Isn't that lovely?
0:16:56 > 0:17:00Can you do it down as far as 32? 32, yes.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Do you think that would be a good buy? That's a great buy for 32.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Thank you. Thank you very, very much.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12You've saved my bacon because they were going to leave me £1.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15LAUGHTER We still might! You still might!
0:17:15 > 0:17:17That is a good buy, ladies.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22'The reds have now made their second purchase. Well done, team.'
0:17:26 > 0:17:29You like your glass. I do, yes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30What do you think of that?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Er...intriguing.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's Georgian, Victorian.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Early Victorian, late Georgian, I would say.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Right. Cut bodied. What is it for? Very good. What IS it for?
0:17:42 > 0:17:46It's got two lips, hasn't it? What do you think it's for?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Juicing. It's not a shaving thing?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's obviously for pouring. No.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Alcohol.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Oh, right. Think of what we drink alcohol out of.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01You put your wine glasses in there. Wine glass coolers. Oh, right!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Water and a wine glass each side.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09The bowls were smaller, not like these great big buckets we get for your Sauvignon Blanc.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Would you like to try a glass? Oh, have you got a glass?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So that would have gone in. Bowls would have been smaller. Yes.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Oh, I see, yeah. Cool your glass. How much is this?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26I've got 32 on it. I'll do it for 20.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29£20. £20!
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I think 20's a good deal, don't you? It does sound...
0:18:33 > 0:18:36But I've also got a pair. A pair? One of these?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Exactly the same? For 20? That's good.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Nicer pair here. YOU think nicer pair? I think more useful.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46More useful? Slightly later in date cos of the shape.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48They could be 35 for the pair.
0:18:48 > 0:18:5135 for the pair? Would you do a deal on all three?
0:18:51 > 0:18:5350.
0:18:53 > 0:18:5545? I can do that.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00What do you reckon? I don't think we can go wrong.
0:19:00 > 0:19:0245? 45, the three.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Good deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10'It's now two-all, as the blues make their second purchase.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15'But, as ever, time is ticking away. Both teams have just 15 minutes.'
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Can I ask you what those are?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22Have they got a texture? Oh, yes, they have. An oat roller!
0:19:22 > 0:19:26As if you didn't know it was an oat roller! I do it all the time(!)
0:19:26 > 0:19:29What are you doing if you're not rolling your oats?
0:19:29 > 0:19:35If you're playing this off against the Liberty, it's a lot less chance of a profit.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I'm moving more towards the Tudric. That's our plan, is it?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41What do you think? What's to lose?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45It may not be there. It's miles away.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Right down the far end of the...
0:19:47 > 0:19:50We've got to hurry, because if it's gone, that's it.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Shall we go? Yes. Come on. I'm not running, not for anyone!
0:19:53 > 0:19:57We will. We'll just walk fast. Walk very fast!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07What have you found? It's a nice little filing cabinet.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11I thought it might be '50s. I think you're being generous.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's a bit earlier than you think.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I was looking to see how well made it was. '30s, perhaps?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I'm not sure about the... Those were the original fittings?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24I don't think it started life like that. Things have been added.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Is it definitely oak? It is oak.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31There's another one over there which looks more... Expensive.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Yes, but original. Right. Do you see what I mean?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40It's always stayed as a piece of office furniture.
0:20:40 > 0:20:46From the '30s, '40s. It's a lot more expensive, but we've got the money.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Hm. And it's a good buy.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Oak-lined drawers, aren't they? Oak-lined drawers, yeah.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Look at that dove-tailing. It's better than the other one.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59I think it is, yeah. It's a good decorator's piece.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's got that retro vintage look.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I just feel that we need to get the price down. That's fine.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06What is the best on that one?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Um... What's on that? 180.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I could do 135.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Now, thank you very much. That's very kind.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19How about we...
0:21:19 > 0:21:24we just ignore the 1 and it's 80 quid, and we'll have it?
0:21:25 > 0:21:2895? Don't ever say a figure!
0:21:30 > 0:21:3295?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yeah? I'll do it for 95. Steep learning curve, this.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39You always say a figure. I started at 80. Could have got to 90.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41You've already said 95. Deal.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Done. All right? That's fine. Happy with that? I am at that price.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Good. I think that's it. Thank you very much.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51STALL HOLDER: Not a problem. You can't bid for it?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54You can't, but we've got a very good chance of making a profit
0:21:54 > 0:21:58and also conquering... conquering the fairer sex.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00BOTH: Indeed.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Right, I want a cup of tea. To dream the impossible dream.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08'That's it! The blues have purchased all three items.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12'Well done. But what news on the Tudric dish and the reds?'
0:22:12 > 0:22:15You're SO lucky! It's moved.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah, it was over there.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Is this the one you want to go for? Yeah. I think so. Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25She's agreed to go down to 34. That is even better.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well done. That's item number three. Well done, Sally.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Are we going to beat the men? Yes!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32They're so confident. BOTH LAUGH
0:22:32 > 0:22:36I know I'm supposed to be confident, but, you know! Go for it!
0:22:36 > 0:22:40'Fighting talk, reds. Congratulations, that's your last item in the bag.'
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Our teams have charged around the fair and time's up.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Why don't we check out what the red wives have bought?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01'The small cold-painted figure of a boy smoking a pipe was picked up
0:23:01 > 0:23:04'for a stonking £200.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10'The Edwardian silver-topped scent bottle set them back a fragrant £32.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17'And finally, they dished out £34 for this Tudric pewter dish.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Look at them, smiling like Cheshire cheeses!
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I don't know what Kate Bateman's doing but you're giving them the right treatment.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I encourage spending!
0:23:27 > 0:23:31So what did you totally spend? £266.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33That is magnificent, isn't it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36So, we'd like to have £34.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Not a tremendous fortune, but something to get your teeth into.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44I can cope with that. OK. Well, go away and cope and have a good time.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the blues bought?
0:23:48 > 0:23:52'The Moorcroft dwarf candlestick and bowl cost them £85.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59'The trio of antique wine glass coolers cost them a cool £45.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06'Finally, they filed away £95 into the oak five-drawer filing cabinet.'
0:24:07 > 0:24:11We're quietly confident. Good. What did you spend all-round?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13225. That is a good sum.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I'd like £75 of leftover lolly.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Thank you very much, which goes straight to Tom-Tom. Thank you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24Are you going to navigate your way to a decent profit? I really hope so!
0:24:28 > 0:24:30'It's back to school for me, as I make my way
0:24:30 > 0:24:35'through the Surrey countryside to visit Charterhouse school.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38'Charterhouse has a history going back 400 years.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44'John Wesley, who founded the Methodist Church,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47'and the novelist William Thackeray were former pupils,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50'or Old Carthusians, as they're known.'
0:24:52 > 0:24:55If only these buildings could talk.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59My gosh! They'd have a story or two to tell.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Imagine turning up here on the first day of term.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08You're a 12-year-old. You're clutching your tuckbox.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Ooh, you wouldn't half feel nervous.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20So, what was life like at Charterhouse?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Well, this is a typical room for a superior person.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29This is a monitor's room, effectively a senior prefect's room,
0:25:29 > 0:25:34where you get your individual bed and perhaps a splendido view.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39In the old days, the ordinary pupils would have slept in a dormitory,
0:25:39 > 0:25:44perhaps the top end of 20 pupils per dorm.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48And if you were academically talented
0:25:48 > 0:25:53and perhaps your parents didn't have the money to pay the fees,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55you might apply for a scholarship.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59If you were awarded it, you would become a gown boy,
0:25:59 > 0:26:03simply because you were a scholar and were entitled to wear this gown
0:26:03 > 0:26:07together with the mortarboard - all extremely smart.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13'Charterhouse isn't only famous for its educational prowess.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17'It also prides itself on its sporting associations,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21'with football playing a major role in school activities.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24'But if you took any bumps or bruises on the playing field
0:26:24 > 0:26:29'or felt under the weather, there was only one place to go.'
0:26:29 > 0:26:33If you had a medical problem between about 1880 and 1920,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36you consult Dr Haig-Brown,
0:26:36 > 0:26:43who spent almost his entire career as a medic as the school's doctor.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48He travelled around with this tin box, so he was ready for all eventualities.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51If you had a problem with your hooter,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53he'd give you a nice nasal douche,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56using this little contraption.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01If you'd been knocked out playing soccer or in a boxing match,
0:27:01 > 0:27:06he would administer this stuff, Sal Volatile - smelling salts.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Essentially, a concentrated ammonia mix
0:27:10 > 0:27:14which, with one whiff up your nostril,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17provides such a shock to the system
0:27:17 > 0:27:20that it snaps you out of the unconscious state.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Let's hope he didn't have to use that too often.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26'Of course, the big question today is
0:27:26 > 0:27:30'will our teams be in need of first aid over at the auction?'
0:27:39 > 0:27:43It's not taken us long to go from Deene Park to Market Harborough,
0:27:43 > 0:27:47where we've come to a new saleroom, Gildings in Market Harborough.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Mark. Hello, Tim. How lovely to see you.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53First up is the cold-painted bronze, but is it Bergman?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56No, it isn't. It's not? No. OK.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00It's quite a good model, but the casting isn't quite right
0:28:00 > 0:28:03and a reproduction, in my opinion.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06That's not going to help it, value-wise, is it?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Kate Bateman went £200 very, very strongly on this.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14I'm at the completely opposite end of the value spectrum.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I thought you might be. £20 to £30.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yeah. Well, that is a body blow.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23The next item is this very nicely cut
0:28:23 > 0:28:27glass Edwardian scent bottle with its silver stopper.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30But slightly yesterday's antiques.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Fashions and lifestyles change and people move on to other things.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37On any other day, this would have been part of a group lot,
0:28:37 > 0:28:39rather than an individual lot.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45So you've done us a favour making it an individual lot? Yes. How much of a favour, price-wise?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49£10 to £20. Not much of a favour, then! £32 was paid.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54Lastly, we have got a bit of pewter which is, at least, real. It is.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Tudric stuff is sought after.
0:28:57 > 0:29:02It's got this slight cast poppy in it, which is nice.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Otherwise, it's quite corroded. How do you rate it?
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I've said £20 to £30. £34 paid, so we've got a problem.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13They're going to need their bonus buy, so let's have a look at it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18Wendy and Sally, a legend, you spent £266.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Crafty couple! £34 of leftover lolly went to Kate Bateman.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Kate, what did you spend it on? Something very pretty.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29BOTH: Ooh! What do we think of that? Ooh!
0:29:29 > 0:29:33It's lovely. It is prett... Ooh, it's quite light.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37Does that mean it's delicate? Can I ring it? You give it a chink.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41RINGS CLEAR Oh! It's sound as a bell!
0:29:41 > 0:29:46That is the ring of confidence! It's very pretty. I paid £18 for it.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49No? Which I thought was a bargain. 18? Yeah. Oh, wow!
0:29:49 > 0:29:51It's a 19th-century wine glass.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54It's got a twist stem. I think that's really pretty.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57It has got a chip. Does that reduce the value?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59That's why I got it for 18. Right, OK.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02There probably is a little profit.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05If you turn it the right way, you can't see it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08I think there's a chance on that. It's really pretty.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11What sort of profit are you thinking? Not a huge amount.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15It might make up to £30. It's very girly. I thought you'd like it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Anyway, you're happy with that? BOTH: Yes.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22Very good. Treasure those thoughts and those pearls of wisdom.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25We're going to check out, for the audience at home,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's glass.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Here we go, look. That's a handsome looking glass.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Lovely spiral trumpety type stem.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Yes, it is, and some nice engraving round the top.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40A set of 12 of those, once upon a time,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42went around a handsome Victorian dining table?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Yes. Would have been good, wouldn't it?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48We've just got the one now. Yeah, one on its own. OK.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Stand by. Estimate?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53£10 to £20. OK, £18 paid.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56So, that may just scrape away with a profit for the team,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59if they decide to go with it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Moving on to the blues,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04we've got the Moorcroft dwarf candlestick base and the bowl.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Moorcroft is always fought after at auction.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11It is, yeah. A great name and very collectable. What's your estimate?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14My estimate for the two is £40 to £60. £85 paid.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16So that's a bit light.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Now, we've got a pair of wine glass rinsers and another.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Probably a late Georgian one and a couple of Victorian ones. Yes.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Never easy things to sell, are they, wine glass rinsers?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31No. The single one would make good use in the middle of a tea caddy.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Replace an old mixing bowl. That would do, wouldn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Struggling to make more than £15 to £25 of these.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Gosh, £45 paid, so that's a bit over the top.
0:31:40 > 0:31:46But lastly, we've got this lovely golden oak English filing cabinet.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50That takes you back to a late-Victorian office. I think it's great.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54When filing furniture was properly made, as opposed to being in tin.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Ha! I think it's a really good bit of furniture
0:31:57 > 0:32:00that fits what people want to buy today. Exactly.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03So, it does the business. How much is the business?
0:32:03 > 0:32:0780 to 120. £95 paid, so they paid the right price.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09And who knows? It could take off.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14In which case, they're not going to need the bonus buy, but let's have a look at it, anyway.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Now, chaps, Jim, Dave, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Because you gave Thomas Plant the whole £75.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24The big deal is, has he spent the lot?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Tom, over to you. I didn't quite spend the lot, gentlemen.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32I bought this very smart mahogany box
0:32:32 > 0:32:35with The People's Physician, all beautifully cased.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41There you are. Have a look. Right. Actually, it's the whole package.
0:32:41 > 0:32:46It's the books, which are, I have to say, pretty sort of... Interesting.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50But, you know dated. But it's the package, the lovely case it's in.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53If I had my time again, I'd be a doctor.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57Would you? Hm. Dr Plant! Dr Plant. Has a sort of ring to it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Well, I'm impressed. What is it made of?
0:33:00 > 0:33:05It's beautifully crafted mahogany. Oh, right. With a glass door.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It was £50. £50?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I think it's a lot of money.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13It was 75 marked up and they weren't really budging but I spent 50 on it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17I think we've got a small chance of making a small amount of money.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21It's never going to fly, unless there's a couple of doctors in the room.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Is there a doctor in the house? Could be a hypochondriac's dream! Exactly!
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Are you a hypochondriac? I wasn't until I looked at this.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I'm rather glad you didn't become a doctor, Tom.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I think you're rather better as a furniture expert than a doctor, don't you?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Anyway, for the audience at home,
0:33:39 > 0:33:43let's find out whether the auctioneer agrees.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Cor, look at this, Mark. That's handsome, isn't it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Your answer to home-diagnosis.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53All ailments. Yeah. Several volumes of it.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57To be honest, in my opinion, the best thing is the cabinet. Really?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01What's your estimate on The People's Physician?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03£20 to £30. Is that all? It is.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Thomas Plant, Dr Plant, paid £50 for this lot.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10CHUCKLING: And he's supposed to know what he's doing.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Anyway, don't take his diagnosis as read.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Very good luck, Mark. Thank you.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Wendy and Sally, how are you feeling? Oooh!
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Yes. Quite excited. Very excited. Just for the fun of it.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32First up, we've got the Bergman bronze.
0:34:32 > 0:34:37Which sits in a category which is subject to debate, really.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Ooh. The auctioneer doesn't think it's old. He's put £20 to £30 on it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46The word "reproduction" in the catalogue gives a very hard sell.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49It doesn't let other people make their minds up.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52So, I think... I still like it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I thought it was lovely. I thought it was beautiful.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58I've seen much, much worse reproductions.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02It was exciting when we bought it. Good. We've all had an excitement.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Who knows? When the hammer drops, in just a few moments,
0:35:05 > 0:35:09it could be in a very different place to the £20 to £30 estimate.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Let's find out what the bronze is about to make. Here it comes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Lot 192, a reproduction cold-painted model of a boy smoking a pipe,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22after Bergman, and bidding opens with me at £10.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Oh, no. £10 I'm bid.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43BANGS GAVEL £22. I'm so sorry!
0:35:43 > 0:35:46That's OK. It's OK. That's minus 178.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48The worst is over, surely?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Not necessarily. Here comes the scent bottle.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Edwardian cut-glass silver-topped scent bottle.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57London 1901. Lovely quality this.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Starts with me at £10 only. 12 I'm bid in the room. 15.

0:36:33 > 0:36:37Plus 13. Super. Now, the shallow dish.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Lot 194 is the Tudric pewter

0:36:53 > 0:36:5740. 42. All out on the right with 42 here. 42.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00That is £8 profit.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02These are solid profits.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Nothing to be ashamed of.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07You're now minus 157. Oh...golly!
0:37:07 > 0:37:11It's that body-blow of the wretched smoking boy.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14It's like the smoking gun! Yeah.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19What are we doing about the glass? Are you going for it? I think we will. I don't blame you.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24Why not? There's a chance it might make a profit. £18 paid.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Let's see what happens. Yeah.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Bids open at £10. £10 I'm bid now. Oh, come on!

0:37:49 > 0:37:52LAUGHING: Which takes you back up
0:37:52 > 0:37:55to minus 163.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Minus 163.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00That's quite a big number, isn't it?
0:38:00 > 0:38:04There should be an award for bombing so spectacularly.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07You're remarkably perky, you two. That's all I can say.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Well! Keep taking the tablets.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12LAUGHTER We have to.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Don't go saying a word to the blues.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Not a word. Keep a smile on your face.
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Now, Jim, Dave, how are you feeling? We feel good, yes. Confident.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Very good. I'm glad you feel good.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35That's good you feel good. Do you know how the other team fared?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38N-n-no. We don't. They... Look a bit moody?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42They seemed good-moody, but they didn't say anything to us.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Perfect, I think we've got it cracked. First up is the Moorcroft.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Two pieces of Moorcroft. Here it comes.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51The Moorcroft dwarf candlestick, light blue ground,

0:39:23 > 0:39:26Here at 95. You're all out online? Front row.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Fair warning, then, selling at £95...
0:39:29 > 0:39:31£95 is plus £10.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35That is brilliant. That's the first hurdle overcome.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Promising start. The second are these glass rinsers.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44215 is the Regency cut-glass rinser and a pair of others.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47£10 for the three? £10 only I'm bid.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57Who's bidding then? At £12... Yesterday's antiques.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58BANGS GAVEL
0:39:58 > 0:40:03£12. I'm afraid that is minus 33. I'm sorry, gentlemen.
0:40:03 > 0:40:09Lot number 216. I like this. Oak five-drawer filing cabinet.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I have to start the bidding at £70.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14£70 I'm bid here, at £70.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19At £70. 75. 80 here. At £80. 85, now. At 85.

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Thank you very much. At 100, front row and selling at 100...
0:40:28 > 0:40:31BANGS GAVEL Uh-oh. £100 is plus £5.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Which, I'm afraid, reduces you...
0:40:35 > 0:40:37to minus 18.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42What are you going to do? Go with the bonus buy? You can't ask Tom.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46We're definitely going with the bonus buy. We'll go with it. Definitely? Yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Without a shadow of a doubt? Absolutely.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51OK, fine. And here it comes.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Bidding on the books start here at £12 with me.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58£12. 15. 18. 20. 22. 25. 28.

0:41:02 > 0:41:0440. 42.
0:41:04 > 0:41:0842 behind, then. You're out at 42.
0:41:08 > 0:41:1045, fresh bidder. 45. Well done!
0:41:10 > 0:41:15You're at 48. 50. £50. Still at the back at £50.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17One more. You clever old fruit. BANGS GAVEL
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Dr Plant has done it again.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22£50. £50 paid.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26Wiped its face. No shame, no gain. TOM LAUGHING
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Well done, Tom. That means, overall, you're minus 18.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34That was exciting. There we go, minus 18. Could be a winning score.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Don't say a word to the reds. We won't. Perfect.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, teams, how are we all?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50JIM: Very good.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Not been comparing scores? ALL: No, no.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56It's no secret that nobody's going home with money in their pockets.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01It's just a question of the scale of the losses between the teams.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04LAUGHTER And there is a chasm between them.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09In fact, there is £145 worth of losses
0:42:09 > 0:42:12between the teams today!
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Sadly, the runners-up by a long mark happen to be the reds.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Hooray! Which is not right, actually.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23There was no stopping that big old £178 initial loss, was there?
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Anyway, you couldn't recover from it, but you were very, very womanly about it.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33LAUGHTER What does that mean? You linked arms.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36You were forthright. You took it on the chin.
0:42:36 > 0:42:42You displayed all the British values that we love and endear so much.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44So, there you go. Thank you.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Did you have a nice time? We had a lovely time. A great time.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52I'm sorry about the end result, but the men haven't done much better.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56They managed to reduce the losses to only minus £18.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59WOMEN GROAN Which is... Almost respectable.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02LAUGHTER ..a respectable loss.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05But there we go. Minus £18 is a winning score.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09So I congratulate you, Jim and Dave and Thomas. Thank you.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11I hope you enjoyed the experience. It's been great.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13It's been a lovely experience.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17Join us soon for another experience. Yes?
0:43:17 > 0:43:19ALL: Yes!
